Michael Jackson!

Binomate

The King of Pop deserves his own sub forum! The greatest performer that ever lived. Thriller, 59+ million albums sold to date speaks for it's self realy, not to mention the second biggest selling album, Bad which has sold 28+ million records to this date. A pioneer in the music and music video industry and a true legend. He has sold out concerts off 200,000+ all across the globe. There is none higher than Michael Jackson.

The Real B-man

no way may make good music but hes to weird to be a legend

OLDYELLAR

He should be put down.The plastic freak.

cormie

Ah now I don't think there is much of an argument here. The man is a legend no doubt.

OLDYELLAR

hes a freak and hes plastic!!

Easily_Irritated

Its hard to refer to such a freak as a legend. But he is a deadly preformer and in his day very influential.

Pity his personal life has completely overshadowed what he was. But hey, hes a wierdo!

OLDYELLAR

Some of his songs were cool , but hes no legend

Awww, I wanted to see what you said....:(

OLDYELLAR

I was just saying a few home truths about wacko.

Binomate

Well the jury didn't seem to agree with you, so leave it out.

OLDYELLAR

On him getting a forum?

Binomate

No, they didn't agree with your comments.

OLDYELLAR

I was messing there :)messing about the jury not agreeing on the forum.

Not necessarily. They just didn't see enough evidence to convict him.


This has to be the first serious post I've done in a long time......

OLDYELLAR

Either way hes no legend.

funky penguin

could be a leg end....

Incorrect, the reason he was found not guilty is because the jury didn't believe the Arvizos. There was enough evidence otherwise it wouldn't have gone to court.

funky penguin

Okay, I see what your saying, and I probably could have phrased myself better.

The jury takes all the evidence into account and must ask themselves "is there enough proof here to convict Michael Jackson beyond reasonable doubt".

So, as they found him Not Guilty on all 10 charges, they must have found "reasonable doubt" within the evidence. Which, I suppose is what I should have said first.

And, just because the jury found him not guilty, it doesn't mean they don't believe the Arvisos. It's possible to believe them, but at the same time realise that their case isn't strong enough to hold out against Jacksons'.

Just my opinion though.

Binomate

I'm just refering to how the jury reacted at the press conference. They didn't seem to take the Arvizos very serriously.

funky penguin

Really? I missed that.....

But, a press conference, eh? Thats odd, cos I thought they wanted to remain as anonymous as possible....

Of course it's legal to talk about the trial after it's done over there isn't it? I'd say they'll make a few bob selling their stories.

i thought this thread was about his music and talent, not his personal life

scuba steve

He has to be a legend even though I think he shouldnt have gotten off his trial so lightly

People like Bono keep there personal lives pretty quiet , if Michael did the same he would definately be one of the most respected figures in Music . Its the personal life that really dented his reputation and if he was found not guilty then enough said!

StormWarrior

I honestly believe Michael was not guilty. There was so much evidence to say the kids were lying. The things they described were shown to be false, eg one of them who said Jackson had got his penis out claimed that he was circumcised, but the police inspected him and found that he was not. There was loads of other evidence to show the kids were lying but I can't remember all of it now.

lankysexybeast

deffinit yes from me, amazing man. different but amazing

we all know he kid stuff just wasn't true.
surely the fact that he was so weird actually makes him more of a legend.

HE.was.a.legend.

Just look at the music video's he made in the late 90. And remember CGI was not in common use then. He was a musical and chorography genius.
