So, several months on from his acquittal on child sex charges, how do you feel about Michael Jackson? Personally, I'm not too keen on the guy himself, but I will listen to his music. What about you?

Like some of his songs... but his lifestyle is a bit much for me.

would I leave my neices and nephews (no kids) alone with him?

probably not. that's because I really don't know the person named Micheal Jackson.

That guy really has serious issues... it might be better to lock him up somewhere.

I never really cared one way or the other, just as long as I don't have to look at his face.. (It never got any better for all the work they did on it, it's just freakish now)

There is a correlation between the decreasing quality of his musical output and the increasing lightness of his skin tone.

Hopefully he won't release anything else ever again. Least of all his cock in the presence of a twelve-year-old.

Long live SIR Michael ( Mike ) Jackson - Chief of Staff, Royal Army.

Can't be bothered about the other one...

Hmmm none that fit me

LOT of a wierdo with only the passing alright song (old school like beat it)
I refuse to purchase his albums but I would not turn the radio station

Same here, adding he may or may not be a child molester, but he certainly has problems with his behavior around kids.

Michael Jackson is definitely a freakshow. He was acquitted of charges, so I suppose we should give him the benefit of the doubt (although I don't really.)

However, the Thriller album will always be burned into my brain, since it was the first casette I had as a kid, and bought it a second time when I played the first one to death. Even though I dont' have the album these days, and wouldn't think of buying any of the other albums, to this day, even the most obscure songs from that album will come rushing back to my head if I hear even a couple of lines.

(You wanna be startin' somethin'... you gotta be startin' somethin'...)

Great. Now I'm going to be singing Billy Jean and The Girl is Mine all day. My co-workers will not be impressed.

I like his music...or atleast a few of the songs. But "A bit of wierdo" is an understatement.

Man, have you ever listned to Thriller?

Jesus, of course I'll listen to his music. But he's still a pretty sick person.

I hate pop music, so I never really listened to him to begin with, but I've heard that he's anti-semitic and that he's going to some small Islamic country to make theme parks. I can forgive Wagner for his anti-semitism because he composed some great music, but Michael Jackson was always just a pop star churning out silly tunes.

I couldn't care less about him except as the subject of numerous pedophile jokes that I sometimes like to tell. I suppose he's not guilty, but I don't trust him.

I chose "other" because he is not a "bit of a weirdo." He's completely off his rocker. Seriously, how a guy like that got off without jail time is beyond me. I don't go so far as to boycott radio stations that play his music, but I would never openly support the freak, either.
