Michael Jackson was a paedophile. Why does the local school choose one of his songs for the kids to perform to?

Posted on zombie thread by mistake.

Because you said that Michael Jackson wrote it.....

Hmm, who brought up the fact that (the American) Michael Jackson didn't write it??

Clue: not me!

2nd clue: it was you!

Seriously?!? So you don't watch any Kevin Spacey movies?

But he wasn't known as Michael Jackson so I don't know why you said the song was written by Michael Jackson. It's completely irrelevant who wrote the song

Yes.

It’s short for Michael.

He was known as Mick

I loved lost prophets music. But I would never listen to anything of theirs again. I felt sorry for the rest of the band.imagine them finding out there had been a beast hiding in plain sight there.
i kind of feel the same way about MJ. But I was never a fan anyway so no loss there. There is another superstar who I will not listen to, no conviction but I do believe that money may have passed hands.no name .but he is on the other side of the line that I won’t cross.

Actually, it was written by Michael Jackson, just not that Michael Jackson.

It wasn't written by Michael Jackson

If a couple of US law firms are to be believed, documents have been sealed until 2034 relating to direct evidence he was. Film footage from a hotel outside the USA and other snippets not seen before. Hush money, non disclosure agreements, bribes and direct threats involved until all the cash from his estate can't be touched any more.

I would like to think these are all conspiracy theories ... but tbh they all sound far to close to what is possible to happen, that I would guess we'll have to wait nine more years to the 25th anniversary of his death.
I never like his music anyway barring Thriller video.

They should dance to Blame it on the Boogie. Even though it was written by Michael Jackson there is no doubt it was not written by a paedophile.

Yes.

Everything I write on Mumsnet is my opinion.

I expect that’s the same for most people here.

Unless you believe there are lots of people on Mumsnet posting other people’s opinions for shits and giggles?

I suppose we could all write “in my opinion” as the final line of our posts.

Or, if people don’t, you could post “in your opinion” after most of the posts on Mumsnet.

Alternatively, it’s probably OK not to, and most people will still understand whose opinion it is.

In your opinion

The difference here is, banning the playing of Red Hot Chili Peppers music would be a blessing to humanity whatever the reason, but Jackson, not so much.

These two things are not connected.

Was Fred West a murderer?

Was Jimmy Savile a serial abuser?

Did OJ kill Nicole?

I have no interest in what the media say.

The adult men who tell us through tears how obsessed he was with their anus at 8 years old. I find that quite compelling.

When combined with video footage of him regularly accompanied by boys between 8–12, holding their hands, taking them on tour, I would be stupid not to believe these men.

He literally paraded his ‘boyfriends’ in front of the entire world. But people will do ridiculous mental gymnastics to claim he was ‘childlike’. If it sounds like a horse, smells like a horse and looks like a horse, then it’s probably a horse, not a zebra. If it behaves like a paedo, it’s probably a paedo.

Oh so this is how an intelligent society wants to love 'oh well the media says the person is guilty so they must be' and I say this in general, I personally use more brain cells than that

I'm feeling faint - bring me the smelling salts 🤣

Thank you, I wasn't sure 😅

His pens?
You can write the word penis on here.

As others say, separate music from the artist. Most famous male singers are unsavoury, liking teenagers etc. I can’t stand most of them
but enjoy the music.
I still love lostprophets even though I hope the singer will die a painful death.

He was found not guilty. But one of MJs accusers described the Vitiligo pattern on his pen*s perfectly, at thats pretty damning.

I suppose people will always defend those they admire and always will. I didn't follow the case but paying people off is never a good indicator of innocence.

💯@Uricon2 . Excellent points.
