Lots of comments here about his looks. Are you judging him or anyone else on how they appear? Even if this is just a part of the judgement you are a fool. Maybe you are all beautifull people but if you are it is only on the outside, inside you are ugly. These are comments of a bully, "well he needed to be beat up. just look at him he is so fat and ugly" or any other excuse you can dream up for your hatefullness, Is it anyone's business on here if he wants to ruin his life? The lies on here about him are unjustified and mean spirited showing no tolerance for someone different than themself.

Bleep

He molests children. His looks have nothing to do with with my opinion.

I watched that special a few days ago when it aired here in the UK, I guess this is a prime example of what can happen to a person who's never had a childhood, got beaten by his father and he's been in the public eye ever since he was 8.

From day one I new he was messed up. Small jokes were made about him in the 80's...White Glove on one hand grabbin his crotch! I can't deny I like his music, dance moves and videos. Other than that this man is screwed up.

Interview area's that scared me the most:
[*] Each kid has a different mother. Third one unknown and he says the only thing he wanted in a mother figure was health...not who she was!
[*] Covering of the faces...that's so you can't tell who the father is!
[*] The lies...I didn't inhale!
[*] His actions changed when the media was around...It's like a drug to him.
[*] Hanging a kid out the window. If I did that Children Services and Youth would be at my door.
[*] HIM...holly shxx does he scare me!

Yes, my kids sleep in my bed...and thats all!

He had some white spots on his back so he bleeched his skin, yes, it is possible...

it's okey for him to be wierd, he can be all the freak he wants to be, but he has kids... that changes everything...

Am I the only one who saw his kid Prince's roots were growing out? Its one thing to want to make yourself look white, but to dye your kid's hair? that's a little overboard.

i sat there watching last night saying "he's crazy" every time he would open his mouth.

it looks like he tried to transform himself into peter pan and went a little overboard. now he looks like skull rock. He's an 8 year old boy with unlimited resources and no parental supervision in the body of a 44 year old drag queen.

I don't know... Barbara Walters said they estimated like 3 or 4 hundred million, but she also said that he only spent "a million dollars" on that shopping spree, when in fact it was closer to 6 million.

Jacko is definitely a freak show but the guy who made the document seemed to be overtly critical just too sensationalize it so it would be more appealing to the voyeuristic nature of the TV Viewers. It was like he knew he would be competing for Joe Millionaires brain dead fan base.

I think he is WORTH about 10 billion, but he makes soooooo much money off of interest and return on investments, that his income is basically infinite. He owns, or partially owns like 15 Large businesses....... Oh yeah, and he still makes records! (Even though his last one was kind of a flop, he still made a lot of money)

The saddest thing for me is that the parents of the children that sleep with MJ, put their kids in the hands of MJ knowingly and willingly for $. I could never whore out my children like that.

He has zero in liquid assests.

He currently has several defaulted loans and others that could default. One of the loans is for $250million, Sony could forclose on the Beatles music collection, thats what he used to get the loan. Everything he has bought is from money he got from loans.

While he has paper thats estimated from $400-800million, he has debt out the ass. He pays loans with loans. He bought a $1.5million watch with a loan, then took out a loan on the $1.5million watch.

I really wish Sony would foreclose on the Beatles Collection. They havent yet because they fear the public backlash. Legally they could, he owes them so much money, the only way he could ever pay them back is if he sold off the rights to the rest of his recordings and the Beatles Collection. I wish everyone that Jackson has defaulted loans would go after the freaky SOB. Even with all that debt he went to look at a $45million estate last month.

WTF are you smoking?

I hope that was sarcastic, but I couldnt tell. He doesnt own any profitable buisness, nor does he have any postive interest. He does have interest though tons of it off the many multi-million dollar loans hes taken out on various IP, mainly his records, and the Beatles records. Thats all he has. His records(the ones he has), are estimated at $200-300million, the Beatles Collection is estimated at $300-500million.

The only money he makes is licensing those records. His Neverland Ranch takes over a million a month to operate. All he has is paper(IP, worth alot none the less), some of which can be taken from him. He IS NOT a smart buisness man, far from it. Taking loans to pay back loans is stupid. Taking a $250million loan against the Beatles collection is stupid.

Flop? It didnt even go gold(500,000). He spent $100million of Sony's money on it(he owes them that plus the loans). He made ZERO money off the last album. Hes in debt to his surgically enhanced ears.

I can't believe anyone is defending this moron. So he didn't have a wonderful childhood. So the paparazzi are after him.

Cry me a @#$@#% river. He's got some money and he's an adult now. Oh wait, no he isn't... :confused:

Maybe I'd have a smidgen more respect for him if he didn't dangle kids out the window.

His only saving grace if there was one, would be to sell Paul the Beatles collection for $300-400million. Then pay off his debt to various companies/banks/people. He really doesnt have the money to go drop $1million in Vegas, let alone $6million.

it probably was the skin condition vitiligo, I have it, it kills the pigmentation in the skin or something. I'v only seen it in blotches and spots, not the whole body, but i guess there could be a way to turn the skin all white, so you wouldn't have white spots.

Thats all I can think watching this.

That is exactly what I think about him too. He has just never grown up in his mind.
