Michael Jackson is either trying to clean up his act, has gone crazy, or wants new 'recruits' to his ranch... In any case, he's invited outsiders to tour his Neverland ranch for one day (September 13th) - Of course, you have to have an invite, and $5,000... Come on Michael, couldn't you just have invited people like Willy Wonka did??

Has gone crazy? Uh, I think he's been there for some time. Or at least that's what he's wanted to portray to the public in order to sell records. I think he was much wiser musically when he focused his energies in the studio instead of in the news. Now I really think, pun intended, that he should just beat it.

I wish he'd get some help. He's quite likely got Body Dysmorphic Disorder (which would account for the constant changes he puts his face through), possibly even classic OCD (the glove???, the weird collection???). But he's got so much $$$ that he can just stay sick and never even have to confront that he is sick. I'm not sure he's crazy. I am sure that he's very sick.

He appears to be about as twisted as they come - the real question is whether or not he is benign.

You know, you may not like Michael Jackson, but for someone who is a fan it's a quite cool opportunity to get to see the Mecca of all fans. Only problem, you need to have the money. But if it were for free, everyone would go there instead of paying DisneyLand a weekend visit. And I bet you guys would line up first. LOL

Michelle, I don't dislike Michael Jackson from a musical perspective but otherwise I do think he's more than a bit out there. Watching his face transform over the years has been nothing short of a thriller.
Over the years I have bought some of his records, then tapes, and most recently CDs, but I can tell you that I wouldn't pay a penny to go see his neverwhatever ranch and I can tell you with 1000% certainity that I wouldn't sign my kids to go there for any reason.
That's just me, and I'm sure there will be others who will want to go. To each his own. Maybe those folks will report back that Michael is really a normal guy and just terribly misunderstood by most of the free thinking world. After all, that is his newest schtick.

You know, I know the media sometimes shows him in a pretty awful light. But I've been really close to him already, he gave me his hand and was right in front of me face to face, and I can tell - he looks nothing like he sometimes does in the media. He looks just alright when you really see him in real life face to face. You'd probably be surprised if you got the chance to really see him.
Two things:
1. One thing that's a disadvantage about his look is his skin color which has changed within the years due to his disease called Vitiligo which is a skin disorder because of which your pigmentation vanishes. People say he bleached his skin, but it's untrue.
2. Another - it's already been proven that the media has manipulated pictures of Michael just to make him look awful. Past year when he came to Berlin, Germany, where I also saw him right face to face, media got sued, because they were proven to have manipulated his pictures to make him look awful to the public.
I guess I have to understand that people cannot know that what they see is not what's true, because they don't know. I sometimes also look at stuff printed in the media and think - what the heck! But I've had the chance several times already to be very close to him, and I know what he really looks like. And also other people that were close to him can confirm my impression.

Ouh, and about the child abuse story you're referring to - to each his own. I do not think he's capable of doing things like that, and someone who let's himself pay off after sexual abuse doesn't seem very truthful to me also.
Would you let yourself pay off if your child was abused? I wouldn't. Instead I'd shoot the abuser that hurt my child. Obviously the money had priority in Michael's case.
But it's all about what you want to believe.

Actually I was referring to some of the things that Jackson has admitted to doing like when he hung that baby out the window. He admitted that was wrong and it was a bad decision.
I have a problem with the decisions Michael Jackson has made and has admitted to making in his own words. I saw the special that he authorized "in his own words" so I am basing my opinion off of what he has said -- to the camera -- in his own words and the things, his actions, he has admitted to doing over the years.
That's why my children wouldn't be visiting his ranch.
As for his face, well, I don't know if it's a skin condition or too many plastic surgeries or what, but that doesn't seem healthy and I am not joking when I say that the guys with the knives should cut off his business. Really.
As for you, Michelle, I think it is great that you have had positive experience with Jackson. There were others on his TV special that felt he was a great and terribly misunderstood person. Like I said above, to each his own.
Have a great day :)

everyone has there comments on michael jackson. i liked him since 1995 but i neva realised it until 2001, when i saw his 30th anniversary celebration. i really think its time we all stopped being obsessed with MJ and shud leave him to his own devices. i buy his albums, cause i really think he is a fantastic dancer, i cannot get ova the way he moves, hes lifestyle and look is not all that great but u cant go by his music and dance.
12 - Al Barger
First off, he doesn't WANT to be left alone to his own devices. Note the subtitle of his hit "(Don't Just) Leave Me Alone."
If he hasn't been committing felonies, he will be left alone by the law. However, if the prosecutor can prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury that Michael has been diddling boys - particularly one stricken with cancer, for chrissake - he should not and will not left to his own devices.

If the rent-a-tour of the ranch is true, it sounds like an effort to raise hard cash, possibly for legal fees, to me. Perhaps little of Jackson's wealth is in liquid assets.

I think everybody should show their "support" for Michael Jackson by wearing these shirts: apestore.com If you go to this site, you can get a Neverland Ranch shirt and let the world know what you think of Michael Jackson.
17 - DOGG
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT JACKO HAS BEEN TRYING TO BECOME, NOT JUST WHITE, BUT FEMININE ALSO.THIS MAY BE A FUNCTION OF REJECTING HIS MASCULINE SIDE IN REACTION TO HIS FATHERS ABUSIVE TREATMENT OF HIS MOTHER AND/OR SISTERS. THE EXTREMES OF SURGICAL PRCEEDURE AND SKIN BLEACHING ARE REALLY FORMS OF SELF MUTALATION. JACKSON'S NEED TO BE SURROUNDED BY YOUNG BOYS IS AN ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OR REWRITE HIS OWN HELLISH CHILDHOOD. THE FACT THAT MICHEAL'S OTHER SELF OR PERSONNA IF YOU WILL IS"LA TOYA" A FEMALE HE CLAIMS TO BE HIS SISTER IS ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE HIS OWN TORTURED EXISTANCE. "LA TOYA" AND MICHEAL ARE SELDOM SEEN IN PUBLIC TOGETHER BECAUSE MICHEAL IS LA TOYA!! THE MICHEAL/LA TOYA UNIT IS ALOMOST CERTAINLY GUILTY OF THIS AND MANY OTHER SADISTIC, PSYCOTIC BEHAVIOURS AND SHOULD BE PLACED IN A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON IMMEADIATELY.

Jacko has been riding the wave of his music success from the days of the Jackson 5 and especially Thriller for way too long. Let’s face it, there are many people involved with his music career. His legal battle is all about money. Money to be made and money that could be lost but as long as he gets crazy, addicted, nostalgic fans and poor WHITE mothers that are willing to SELL their little boys to him for a price, he will feed his sick, gay, pedophile existence. Let's face it; the guy is a SICK LIAR who thinks he is invincible based on his money and his ability to make money from his following. HE NEEDS HELP!! Help from a good shrink and solid steel bars. Sadly, people with his kind of money seem to take a slap on the wrist and move to another location. Can anyone say O.J.? - MONEY BUYS JUSTICE!!!

The Michael-is-LaToya theme is interesting, but everyone knows Michael is really Diana Ross.

Michael Jackson isn't sick. He never hurt no one, he only helped. Michael is definately innocent of these charges for various reasons. The main thing that you guys pin on him is he sleeps with children. Firstly, he said he doesn't sleep on the same bed as them. He only did a few time, and believe me, that bed is huge. There was always a third party there. Secondly, the media has made a mess out of this situation. If you think for one second that if the media did not portray this negatively, would you guys be calling him sick for doing that. Just think about it, if the media has called Michael an icon and never made fun of him for plastic surgery (which by the way, most of hollywood gets), or any other negative thing about him, you guys wouldn't be here posting stuff like he should die, or he should just beat it. Remember no one is perfect.
21 - TSB
And about his plastic surgeries... Michael's plastic surgeon came forward and said he did have only 3 surgeries on his face.
1. His nose, he was never satisfied with it.
2. To repair the damages done when his hair caught on fire during the pepsi shoot.
3. Chin cleft, which Jackson has denied, but his plastic surgeon confirmed he did have it done.
Why is the media still claiming he had over 50 surgeries on his face? Because of the fact that they had this story going on and if they change it now, it's like admitting that they were wrong all along. Also saying that they had invested all this money into making him look like a freak, and now they are admitting that all of it was false. So they feel as though they have to continue or all the money they have invested on him is crap.

TSB - you wrote:
'Believe you'? Do you have first hand knowledge of Jackson's bedroom arrangements at Neverland? If not, then what is your source for this information so that readers can 'believe you'.
And personally I don't care if it was 1 time or 100 times, he only has to sleep one time -- which he has admitted in his own voice to doing -- with a child that isn't his and many people, myself included, have a huge problem with that.

Everyone knows that Jack-O's been doing really WRONG things with those kids. The kid's parents are the biggest dickbags for letting stuff like this happen. AND YOU JACKSON, BURN IN HELL MUTHAFUCKA!!!!! I hope he gets his balls cut off or something.
24 - TSB
I seen his bedroom photos on a site that I found. And I've read that most children that was sleeping there claims that there was always more than him and the boy sleeping there. I will find some references. Right now I'm just confirming what I said earlier.
Also, why this strong hate for a man that has done nothing to you or your kids. Don't say you feel sorry for the "so-called" victims. You obviously need some psychiatric help (along with Jackson if he is guilty).
"AND YOU JACKSON, BURN IN HELL MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!"
Seriously if you're talking to Michael Jackson, and you are asking him to burn in hell... Is he suppose to say 'fine I will'?
25 - Dwaine AKA Scooter AKA D.J.
Hey TSB, I take that back. I wasn't in my right mind at the time. I still think he should rot in jail for what he did. Plus he still should burn in hell. Seriously, I don't see how you can support this guy. Ever since '93, I didn't like this guy. If Jack-O was so innocent in 1993 or 1994, he wouldn't have gave the parents of the kid all of that cash. Even Jackson's bulter said that he was doing very WRONG things to those poor children. YOU, TSB should feel ashamed for supporting him. Holla back.
