Pity old daddy Jackson did not "Give his love" to the little boy that he beat when he did not get the dance routine right or failed to hit the right note...perhaps he would have been mourning an adult man instead of a dysfunctional human being that wanted to relive his childhood.....

"Sean 'Diddy' Combs said the singer "knocked down barriers" for black artists like himself."
Right......... Sure. If there's one thing I hate more than seeing Michael Jackson depicted as a musician (at all) it's seeing him depicted as some sort of social reformer.

#2. I think the "Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards in Los Angeles" seems to suggest some other barriers exist (against white people for a start).

#3 So it seems. Also, how is "Woman Upset At Death Of Brother" newsworthy?

#7. Any chance Prince and MJ were one and the same person? I never saw them duet once!

some people that are michael Jackson fans say that Prince is better than MJ.
but I feel the big story on Michael is what happened to him as a teenager. When he was 10-years old he had a #1 song. his father felt that for every year they kept Michael's voice high that it would mean millions to the family. so the father, Joe Jackson, sought out a doctor who would give him female hormones by injection. Allegedly he got high dosages as a young teen.
This is what happened to Michael. as a result I don't throw mud at Michael Jackson. all his flaws I forgive.

#7, #8 & #9 Prince is alive and well. He was on stage with Michael Jackson at a James Brown concert in 1983, so not the same person. Prince is a highly accomplished musician and composer, while Jackson is (was, sorry) a song and dance man.
