I'm amazed that there are people on here who don't feel that Michael Jackson was an amazing artist, both musically and in dance.

Apparently one of the 2 accusers, when staying with him, said when they woke up during the night he was huddled in a corner crying. I feel his childhood led to a very unhappy person, who may have remained emotionally a child in an adult body..

I loved his music back in the early days. I have watched most of the two documentaries over the last two nights and have been horrified at what he did to those children. We watched the previous one done some years before his death and I felt he was very misunderstood - now I just think he was a very sick perverted person possibly damaged by his own upbringing but that is no excuse. The boys mothers seem to have been very naive and no doubt taken in by all his wealth and fame.

It is very sad for his children to hear all this about their father.

Heaven only knows what horrors have gone on.

I never liked him or his music. Strange isn't it that he had such adulation.

But you must remember Michael Jackson was FULL black not mixed race his biological children would have some colour in them even if it was just olive or tanned skins His children especially the first two were completely white with straight hair The last one who he seemed to like to dangle over balconies did have darker hair but no black features at all Michael bleached his skin to get the mixed race look

Having watched the documentaries on these last two evenings I now see him as almost equal to Jimmy Saville he was a preditor who groomed small children for his pleasure whilst playing the benovalent playful manchild who loved all children It s pretty obvious he badly damaged the two men who featured in the docu and the other two children one with a medical condition whose cases were thrown out of court and probably MacCauly Culkin too who has lived a very messed up life although he denied anything took place as did the other boys which they would, as they loved him and would have done anything for him

What mainly amazes me about him is why anyone is interested in him. He’s absurd and ridiculous. I can only laugh incredulously when I see him. What is the matter with people’s taste if he is any sort of star?

As for the gossip, we have no way of knowing whether any of it is true or not.

I haven't watched the documentary and have no intentions of doing so.

I keep thinking of how his children are suffering at the moment, I only hope they are getting love and support within the "Jackson Clan" which appears not to have been afforded to MJ.

A white and a coloured person can produce the same in children. One of each colour.
Jackson's two boys are darker than their sister so it's not impossible for him to be father of all three.

MJ was an oddball but the case against him is debateable.

I understood that they aren't biologically his children.
Saying that though, one of my exes is half caste (his preferred term before anyone pounces) and his daughter has long, straight, blonde hair, pale skin and green eyes.

Let’s face it, whether we like his music or not, Michael Jackson was weird. This must have been connected to his disfunctional childhood, plus the fact he was so wealthy he could afford to live out his fantasies.

All his children have the same Mother who is white. Allegedly they are his biological children by AI.

There were rumours which both parties at the time refuted that Mark Lester was in fact their Father.

Weren't his children adopted?

When the Saville revelations came out, I avoided for my own wellbeing and I will do so with this.

One thing which I wonder though, is why are his children white? Genuine question, not trying to cause trouble.
