Yes! it annoys me SO much! I never actually know songs from Michael Jackson.. until I researched them and became a huge fan!!

That sums up the press, anti-mj fans, and just plain ignorant ppl. HATERZ!!!! Yes, it does annoy me when ppl say crap about him. Better yet, it pisses me off. But no matter what they say Michael is always gonna be the king, and he will always be one of if not the best human to ever live. They can say whatever they want Michael is still gonna be just fine. But if they do start they got 2 things to worry bout................................................. My fist and life in ICU!!!

Okay =) Yeah you too. Have a nice dinner x

that would be brilliant, and hopefully it'll keep Mike going for longer always making new music even when hes 80 lol! I g2g for dinner now, nice chatting 2 u x

I'm really hoping so! How great would that be if these concerts sparked a whole bunch of new supporters? Which I'm sure they will =]

Lol yes, i just really hope that these concerts will give Michael some well deserved good publicity. They r obviously gona be totally brilliant, and whatever lies the media try to make up about them, there is no way they could deny that they were amazing concerts. It sorta gives Michael a chance to prove himself to all the doubters out there. You go Mike!!!!!

I know! I mean, when he did that song he was white! EVEN if he DID use a cream or something to change skin colour, I mean, he was white in the video! So even if he did do that, and Black or White DID mean what so many people think, would he actually say it after he'd changed colour?! No! People are really silly sometimes...

It realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy annoys me sooooooooooo much when people say that. I swear every ignornant person says that, like 'omg i cant believe he ever sang those words' omgmmgmgmgmmgmgg! How could they be so stupid?

Yeah, you're right. It seems like, nowadays, people (as i say, especially younger people who weren't around when he was last 'big'), know Michael Jackson as the Michael Jackson that the media portrays, and they don't really know him for his music which is, after all, the reason everyone does know who he is, really, people just don't give him credit for it.

Regarding Black and White - doesn't it annoy when people say 'he's such a hypocrite, he says that then he turns himself white' - well of course that's not what he means!!!! It'sthe opposite!

Its weird how every single person knows who MJ is, and about the trials and the white skin and stuff, and so little is known about his music in comparison. Yes, he has loads of fans, but i mean in general. I bet many people would change their opinion of him if they just listened to his music, especially songs like 'childhood' or 'balck or white' which shows that hes not this freak that the media make him look like. Urgh its so annoying

Haha, exactly. I'm not just saying this because I'm a fan, but I honestly don't believe that anyone would not like every one of his songs, purely because he's done so many! Therefore, I'm sure you're right! If all haters listened to a huge list of his songs they'd realise how much good music he's done!

This is very very true because before i was a fan, which is like a couple of months ago, i only actually knew thriller and billie jean. Then when i bought all his albums, i realised like 'omg i love this song but never knew it was Mj!!' He should get more credit for his music becasue i bet some of the Mj haters out their accidentally like his music lol!

That's weird! But it's true isn't it! People just aren't aware how much of an influence he is in everything music-related! Even the dancing - Flawless' final performance was just a medley of Michael Jackson songs and dances, they even used the lean, and everyone I was watching it with was just like 'woooah how did they do that' and i was just like, please, watch him do it and it's so much better (don't get me wrong I think Flawless are great, but, you know, Michael Jackson...)
Urgh, yeah, people are quick to judge and call him names, but they're pretty slow in offering up solid reasons WHY he is! What does that tell you?...

WHat a coincidence! I was just thinking that. my friend the other day said to me " they dont play mjs music any more, how can you be a fan of such a weirdo?"

I got so upset and said you go watch Brits got talent and tell that there are no michale jackson songs and I will laugh at your face. go on. and I said to listen to the radio everyday. She came back to me in a week . She said " I never knew so many people were influenced by him. He is such a freak anyways, and yeah his songs where on the radio but so what?" I said "why is he a wierdo"
she said " I dont know he just is"

I said a lot more, but Ive babbled enough I think.
