Maybe you could do a Michael Jackson related work diary, Roxi?
After attending a funeral yesterday of a close mates sister who died of cancer and was only 28 kind of put things in to prespective
i don't give a toss about MJ if i'm honest only his kids who don't look mixed race to me

NO
I never liked MJ's music from the beginning and didn't take any interest in him either.
I am sorry for his family's sake that he died prematurely but I neither respect or disrespect him...he's simply not on my radar

Atleast he has made great contribution to music's history..... Some artists can only dream of a tenth of his success... People will always hate but Michael is where no one can hate him no longer...

he made some brilliant tunes-you cant deny him that
Theres no need to joke about. Michael Jackson deserves respect
and of course, all the jokes started straight away too! 
Makes me wonder about people when this sort of thing happens. Its such a tragic loss. He was unique and I dont think he ever made a bad song!

I am listening to Pulp right now and remembering the incident fondly
TBH i reckon its all a bit too much.. he was a pop star....he didnt cure people, he made music, got rich, had a bit of a dodgy time regarding certain allegations, then went a bit wierd. Its always sad when someone dies but he didnt make any decent music after Thriller imo ...

You're not STILL telling everyone that they must respect Michael Jackson are you? Not everyone shares your blind adoration of 'celebrities'.quote:Originally posted by Roxi:

Got rich and squandered most of it. I think he made most of his money on one or two astute investments which accrued value. Had he set up charitable foundations with most of his money, I'd have more respect for him as a person I reckon. His love of shopping and consumerism was obscene ... and then to get on his Earth song, messianic high horse? Gah.

I keep asking you why Roxi, but you never answer me, all I want is a valid supporting argument for your opinion?

I think Roxi is now just doing this to wind FMs up
Bit like Sree really... let their own opinions known to the world but won't listen to others 
Sorry Roxi... i won't be told that i have to respect MJ, Infact its even more disrespectful by changing my opinion of him just because he has passed away

Always. She's quite a subtle troll, but funny for it.

There is nothing she doesn't know about paperclip requisitions or faxing people!

Twitter entry from Krishnan Guru Murthy earlier:
C4 News producer to Jarvis Cocker : "Do you have anything to say about Michael Jackson?" Jarvis : "No".
Its disrespectful to disrespect a guy who was talented, loved by many, a legend, who was a nice guy, and now who is dead
How do you know he was a nice guy?
Have you met him?
Have you met him?
Shamo
But he is dead because he was hooked on prescription medication and rather than seek help for his addiction he instead hired a doctor to make sure that his addiction would always be fed. For want of a better word and if he was the average Joe in the street he was a junkie who took one too many hits.quote:Originally posted by Roxi:

Every day is an education!

In my opinion it is a total tragedy. The guy was super-talented but appeared never to be truly happy. I dont believe he ever molested any children. I think if he did, no stone would have been left unturned to prove it. I know that I would not accept a penny from someone who abused one of my children, rather than go to court. I believe these people were evil and jealous and wanted a slice of what MJ had worked so hard all his life to get. He was a child himself in many ways. He never had a proper childhood so tried to create his own in later life. I also totally believed every word he uttered, when he refuted all the claims on the videos shown on tv. These are my beliefs and my beliefs only. I cannot prove if I am right or wrong. I think it was a very sad day when Michael Jackson died. He was a genuine superstar. rip MJ. XXX
Heartfelt words there....quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:

I agree..the accusations were all lies.
Some folk can be really cruel when it comes to money.
MJ will be missed..
I saw on some thing on the internet, some idiot (I would like to use a much stronger word but will be thrown out if i do so on here!) saying MJ was "no better than Ian Huntley"!!!!!!!!!!!!quote:Originally posted by slimfern:quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:

Now THAT really made my blood boil. Completely stupid sick and above all UNTRUE thing to say!
I've no intention of disrespecting him if it causes needless offence but on the other hand I resent having my emotional response commandeered by others who take it for granted that I am grieving for someone I do not know.
