Tell me once again who's bad

[morinen]

The funny post about Jackson vs. Jesus made me think again about my perception of Michael, about how I see him human and unhuman at the same time. I even left a quite lengthy comment there about parallels with Jesus that I see (if you are religious, you probably don't want to read it

People think I'm crazy for that. ...I'm not even that religious.

And lol, did Michael do anything really bad? I've followed him and his career somewhat closely, since I was a kid, and I can't think of a thing! Haha

impossible.

I really think Michael was, indeed an angel. My sister and I were up really late last night, trying to at least find ONE flaw about him, and I think that his only flaw was that, he was too nice, and TOO giving.
I seriously can't think of ANYTHING that he did wrong...y'know?

Possible.

Gurl, Michael wasn't an angel. You are forgetting that he was also a businessman, and you can't achieve the things he achieved by being kind 100% of the time. He most likely did some fucked up things with the help of others, but he had a great team to hide them. Notice all the rumors about him was based on his personality, not business ethics.

No one is perfect, definitely in the entertainment business.

Yeah, I suppose, but he also worked hard and was really creative and talented. And maybe lucky too. And business doesn't necessary mean a dirty game. If he did play unfair, I'd like some examples.

The one with Jermaine will do (though I still admire him for how he handled that conflict - at least according to the Jermain's girlfriend's version of the story).

His talent and creativity did help him, of course. However, the music business is a fickle place to be, so you have to be a tough businessman to have had a long career like Michael had.

*thinks really hard over the last 16 years* i wish i could help bring him down to earth for you. but nope i can't think of anything that he did that i would consider really bad. just maybe some bad judgement calls but nothing that i would say any of us couldn't make.

[flowerings]

He was a businessman. Enough said. You don't get to the top he achieved by being a true saint.

The "Debbie will have my child if you don't" ultimatum was kind of shitty, methinks. Other than that, I can't think of many significant things.

good point
