That's all really.
I was on a night out and found myself really getting into the groove of MJ!
I'm unashamedly a massive fan!
I don't think we will ever know the whole truth...
Any one else feel the same way or am I part of a dying breed?

His music is great.

I was always in a minority that just never understood his appeal. I didn't like his voice or dancing. I think there's enough accepted facts to believe with some certainty that he was a child abuser. Never related to the 'he's just a child in a man's body' argument.

I'm a big fan of his music too. I very much believe that he was a product of an abusive upbringing, and used as a cash cow by his parents and some of his siblings, which clearly affected his childhood and life as an adult in a lmassive way.

My DH says “separate the art from the artist”, but every time I hear the words “the way you make me feel, you really turn me on”, I can’t help wondering who he was singing about.

"I'm not convinced that he was guilty of all the charges."

He freely admitted to having children sleep in his bed. In what world is that not ringing massive alarm bells? Or do you regularly sleep in beds with children that are not your own?!

Don't listen to him and at a party I held I requested the dj didn't plat his music or several other artist (eg R. Kelly) were never know what he did or didn't do but he was inappropriate. The behaviour he admitted to was wrong on so many levels. I understand he apparently had a horrendous past but his actions were still wrong. If he wasn't famous his children would of been taken away straight away and he would of got a fair trail.

love Ben still.
you have to separate the artist from the art. but I was never a fan anyway.

There's no proof at all that he was an abuser. He was acquitted due to there being no evidence to suggest he was. Granted, some of his behaviours were odd and not what I would consider the norm but there's nothing to prove he did what he is accused of.

There’s never any ‘proof’ with this type of crime though is there? Because child sex offenders don’t tend to do these things in public.

True the music is timeless and very catchy but the guy was a paedo. He had a penchant for licking young boys bottoms.

I threw out my old Thriller vinyl after that documentary.
