The facts are that the media news are instructed to put out just what you hear, by the government as far as the deaths of our boys in the forces and the way it is reported, don't forget we are at war. As for Mr Jackson no greater talent has ever been known in the music world. This man appeared on stage at the age of four years old. Take a look at the old tv footage at his early performances and tell me that this guy was a non-entity. I object to the likes of Beckham and his overpayed bunch of pansies along with the bean pole he is married to, being thrust down our throats every time they go out.
If my memory serves me correctly Jacko was never convicted of being a paedophile albeit it he made an out of court settlement.
The only crimes I think the man commited was to have surronded himself with blood sucking leeeches who wanted to line their own pockets. Instead of people that would have told him the real truth about the real world.
It is plain that the comments posted so far are by people who have had very little contact with the pop industry, believe me it's a whole different world, one of make believe and fairyland. You have to be very tough and focused not to fall for all the crap that the hangers on give you.
Lets all just admire this guy for what he did in the way of his music. I think everyone on this forum when they hear one of his many fantastic songs gets taken back to a certain time in their lives be it good or bad.
I for one will judge this man for his mighty talent as a performer,his private life is for him and his maker. I just hope, should I be lucky enough when I die, that I will go up rather than down below, That Mr Jackson will be the lead singer of Gods great choir and singing his heart out when I walk through those pearly gates.
