Am i the only non Jackson fan/sympathiser on this island??!!.....I have never been a fan, although i liked the Living Off The Wall album....and as i have never met him nor been a fan, i'm really not that bothered...i was more upset over the passing of Farrah Fawcet Majors.....

ps...i'm not trying to be pedantic, but i'm starting to feel rather alone in all this.....surely not EVERYONE was a fan...??!!

I must admit, i am one of the 'no smoke without fire, brigade'...... and i find it hard to sympathise with the passing of someone who gives me cause to question. I neither condemn him or condone him...each to his own i suppose.

A great send off to a great entertainer....no matter what he may have done or not done in his private life.....his music will live forever...



Lets not forget his mother has lost her baby, and his brothers and sisters have lost a brother, and his children, as his daughter said a great father...you have to consider their feelings and how you would feel in their position....



RIP at last Michael

A bit OTT dont.you think.I liked his music though but there is only the Yanks who could do anything like that.Why were all the family wearing dark glasses in a dimly lit arena?? Could it be that they did not want the audience to see that there really was NO tears,after all there was not a lot of bad feelings towards him when he went solo,and he had some right up and downers with his dad.Perhaps all was not as well as they tried to make out in the Jackson clan.That preacher really was something else.Thinks he is the new Martin Luther King!! Then to bring on a Senator to make a speech ,well what next..Perhaps if they had stuck to the music it might have been a bit more respectful....
