Still can't believe he's gone. Me and my friend used to do Michael impressions in the 80s, we managed to break some furniture in her house using it as a stage. It just seems so wrong that someone so much bigger then life and so alive and such a genius could die.

Musically speaking, I became a big fan when I was around 10 years old (that was back in the Jackson 5 days). His solo work was amazing and I always enjoyed his performances (except for that embarrassing crotch grabbing thing and the fake - or maybe it was real - anger in some of his videos). He was a musical genius. And for that we can always remember him.
^ not too late for him to pay back the £22m to the Jackson estate,even if he has to be taken to court to get the money,the theiving lying little toe-rag!

Anyone see that article about how that famous taxidermy guy wants to plastinate Michael Jackson's body?? [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]Absolutely fucked.. let's just string Elvis up to complete his tour obligations while we're at it![/QUOTE]
Too late? [/QUOTE]
A fine example of investigative journalism if I ever I saw one. Okay so the grammar's not up to much and the reporter can't even be bothered to get the father and son's names right, but a fine example none the less.
I'm surprised that none of the major news agencies have picked up on this story yet. It's not like Fox News to miss a sounbite like [b][i]“If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…" [/i][/b]It makes him sound like the villain from a James Bond movie.
Come on Fairy King. I'd expect this from someone like Treasure Moment who still believes that King Kong caused the World Trade Centre to collapse but I credit you with a bit more intelligence.

MICHAEL JACKSON
Hard to know what to say - what to feel. I find myself wondering what might have happened on his tour ... the number of dates in the UK that he had committed to was insane ... I did have a feeling it was impossible ... but I was so shocked to hear that he went so suddenly. Very sad. Of course I still think of him as a boy ... he used to come and see us (Queen) play when we were on tour in the States, and he and Freddie became close friends ... close enough to record a couple of tracks together at Michael's house ... tracks which have never seen the light of day. Michael was the boy star of the Jackson Five, and always the most screamed at. I remember in their show, they tried very hard to make all the brothers equal in the presentation, but it was abundantly obvious that all most of the girl fans really wanted to see was little Michael. It was Michael who heard our track "Another One Bites the Dust" when he came to see us on "The Game" tour ... and told us we were mad if we didn't release it as a single. Of course this was way before Michael's monster solo career began ... but he was already in search of that fusion between Funk and Rock, Black and White, and the Thriller album was the consummation of that quest. There are many similarities between it and our "Hot Space" album ... but our timing was out, really. Michael got it right in every respect ... including timing ... the world was just ready for it ... and of course he was in a sense seeking the same ground, but coming from the opposite direction. Amusingly, after Freddie and Michael has spent some time together recording, Freddie came back and played us the work in progress, and he remarked that Michael had come up with a great album title ... BAD. A little later, Freddie smiled his wicked little conspiratorial smile, and said ... "I have a perfect idea for our album title - you may love it or hate it ... but think about it .... we can call it ..... wait for it .... GOOD"!!!
I think the world is a more colourful place thanks to Michael's work ... he was a truly wonderful performer at his peak - and had a great team around him, including, of course, genius Quincy Jones. I think he qualifies as a great artist; he devoted his whole body and soul to his art. It's as if, with all the changes he introduced to his body, his art actually became his body and his persona. Yes, I only hope he passed away in happiness, in great hopes and anticipation of his glorious comeback tour. RIP Michael.

The [url=mailto:Mir@cle]Mir@cle[/url], my laptop is being fixed at the moment, so I haven't been on Brian's soapbox for a few days. Anyway, I thought you were spoofing Brian in this, I thought it was really funny. I've only just looked at the soapbox a second ago and seen that Brian did say that. I'm a huge Queen fan, I love them more then I loved MJ, but what was Brian talking about Hot Space/Thriller? Thriller was and is huge, one of the best albums of all time.
Is it just my imagination or is Brian May sounding different recently? The last couple of months I've been wondering if he's still writing the soapbox, it doesn't sound like him. And all those tiny sentences and dots aren't really his previous style. And his posts are so irregular now, and vary between one liners and very long rambling posts.
Anyway, this particular post seemed fairly odd to me. Almost like he didn't want to admit that there could be any one equal or better then Queen. Like I said, I'm more of a Queen fan then a Jackson fan, but when commenting on someone's death you'd think he would have just talked about that person rather then bringing in Hot Space.

Brian commented on his soapbox about Michael Jackson's death. In his post he mentions how there are similarities between Michael's album, Thriller and Queen's Hot Space. Judging from the bad reviews Hot Space gets from so many people, I wonder what y'all think about Brian comparing the two albums this way.

I don't even think it's Brian writing anymore. Of his last six entries it's predominately him reviewing average music.

Where the heck is my previous post in this thread? Oh well, I'm sure it was crap.
That report is clearly rubbish as you point out, but that soundbyte you refer to is atleast widely quoted (doesn't make it real, I know)you can hear what is allegedly that bit of Evan Chanderl around 1:11 of this clip. I am suspicious about its origins, some internet sites claim it is from a taped phone conversation between Evan Chandler and lawyer Barry Rothman before legal actions were taken and it is claimed that the tape served as evidence against Chandler's claims. Real or not, I'm sure the famous "truth" is out there.

However It appears Foxnews did not miss out on daddy Chandler assaulting his son few years ago
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,209470,00.html
I have to admit that having read through a few non-tabloid newspaper takes on these molestation court cases, I don't know if these families could have made it more easier for the defense to destroy their credibility. Not even the worst tv-law series script writer would have attempted to build a case with what they had against Jackson (IMO). Then again tv-shows are crap these days...

It WAS all a big fat lie. Are you that naive that you believe a greedy dad and a manipulated Jordy C. MJ helped this kid, he took him and his mom into his home and this is the fucking thanks he got. J. Chandler's dad SAID he would destroy MJ and would take all the fucking do he got. It was recorded on tape and if this case would've been in court MJ would've won because he HAD the proof they were all about his money. J. Chandler's dad manipulated his kid. Seriously Fatty, i am with you when you say where there's smoke...etc etc...but ffs! A multi-millionaire popstar who[b] [/b]genuinely loves children and cares about them. Do you seriously think he would jeopardize his life and career for this? Think!

[b]HOME ALONE STAR ADMITS HE WAS BUM-RAPED BY WACKO JACKO
[/b]Macaulay Culkin, star of the Home Alone movies, has broken his silence over allegations that he was bum-raped by Michael Jackson who died on Friday. The 47 year old child star who appeared in Wacko Jackson's Thriller video said "I want people to know the truth."
Culkin who met Jackson on the set of "The Sixth Sense" in 1982 speaks in lurid detail of how his parents left him in the care of the King of Pop while they flew off to France on a family holiday.
[b]"I had been in the shower washing my hair with a medicated shampoo"[/b] said Culkin who is now 24 years old. [b]"I also washed between my toes and my belly button, which I'd never done before but sort of enjoyed. All of a sudden Michael came crashing through the door and tried to rip my towel off. I ran off but Michael followed me through the house. Luckily I had set up some booby-traps in case such an occasion arose. I managed to hold him back by attaching some old tins of paint to bits of string and swinging them at his head. Then I covered him in glue and threw some feathers at him."[/b] Culkin who is only 10 years old almost made it to saftey by escaping on a rope which he had fixed from his bedroom window to a tree-house in the garden but Wacko Jacko was close behind.
[b]"I might have got away but Michael grabbed my leg as I was running up the stairs. I tried to scare him off by putting a big fucking hairy spider on his face but he held on to me."
[/b]Culkin who was only 8 weeks old at the time of the attack was then held down and bum-raped by the plastic faced Peter Pan of pop.
Asked why he has kept his silence for so long, the 88 year old star of such films as My Girl, Uncle Buck and Harry Potter said [b]"I dunno."
[/b]
Now is this any more believable than that other article?
fatty.
