To tell the truth, I never followed Michael Jackson's career closely.  I know what a great man he was.  I know many people looked up to him and adored him so much.  Michael was a Rock/Pop Legend since the 1970's.  People loved him and his hits with the "Jackson 5".  He rode his way into a bigger success into the 1980's with hit albums such as "Thriller" and singles such as "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller."  After "Thriller," more hits followed and his success rose up faster than ever!  I've seen a few of his videos when I was younger.  I guess it was when Michael's skin started to change, I stopped following his career.  Of course, I saw him here and I liked his two videos, "Black and White" and "Heal The World."  "Heal The World" was a GREAT song!  After he died, I didn't know how much humanitarian work he has done but obviously, he did some.  All I knew was he wanted to care for the children around the world and that's something to admire him about.

Then in the early 1990's, Michael had a skin disease called vitiligo.  This news sparked up a lot of media attention about his skin color then came other stories about his plastic surgeries and what he had done.  Not too long after this, a 13 year old boy accused of sexually molesting him.  Of course, they were able to come to an agreement and they dropped the case.  Over the years in the '90s, stories were around about his children, marriages, how he covered his children's faces with veils and dangling his baby boy over a balcony.  Just a few years ago was when he was accused again of child molestation by a boy who had cancer.  Michael had a huge ranch for children and raised money for children who had cancer.  He even had children overnight and while his behaviors might've been odd around children, one of the children accused him of child molestation.  He went on trial and was acquitted. 

Over the years recently, Michael had his own spare of problems financially and with his physical health that when on trial for child molestation, he had to be taken to the hospital a few times.  The stress was catching up with him and he was slowly falling apart.  He's had injuries and was suddenly addicted to painkillers and other medications.  More media covered him and he just began to fall apart again.  It wouldn't surprise me if his heart just couldn't take it anymore.

Now he's gone.  The King of Pop is dead and everyone is mourning.  I would think that after this is happening, people would look at him in a different light but instead, I am reading a lot of comments on youtube and everywhere about how he was a child molesters and they'd say horrible things such as "glad he's dead" or "the pervert deserved to die."  I don't care what Michael did or didn't do!  Personally, I don't believe anything happened between Michael and those children unless there were witnesses in that bedroom and I believe the children's families were only out to get Michael's money!  Michael agreed to everything to prove he was innocent and even agreed to a strip search and the police didn't find anything definitely indication that he even touched the boy.  Would someone agree to such things if the whole thing was true?  Michael had nothing to hide.  Thanks to this kid, Michael's ranch for kids were closed and kids could not play there anymore.  He got addicted to drugs and lost a lot of weight, he had to canel the rest of his "Dangerous" tour because he was so ill from a lot of stress this boy caused him.

How dare the media and children and their family take advantage of Michael's money and his legancy in order to get his money!  The media were practically stalking him and wanting every little piece on him so he can be called a pervert.  He was huge and an icon and he deserved respect but hardly the media or pepole who accused him of such things gave him that respect.  Now he's dead and we're never going to get him back.  In my eyes, he was not a child molester unless there were witnesses or a camera in the bedroom that proves that Michael did such a thing.  They were all over him about his plastic surgeries, those child molestation charges, skin color, marriages and kids and just didn't know how to leave the poor man alone!  Now he's dead after many years of struggles and so much stress.  When are people going to grow up and stop saying horrible things about people who have just died?  How long is this accusation about the child molestation charges going to last?  Some people have sad pathetic lives!!!!!!

RIP Michael Jackson!
