omggg..
all i hear is “omg, you use to say so much negativity to MJ and now your saying what i legend he was? or ” why are those who you use to contradict MJ now act two face and say blah blah”
gosh people, im one who goes from gossip site to gossip site and all i hear is this !! god dammit people !
who gives a freaking crap if people had their doubts about MJ and then turn around and say he was a legend. who gives a crap if people use to say what a train wreck he was and now turn around and say how amazing he was.
Sure MJ had his problems. But you know what.. THAT’S THE PAST !!!! for those who say MJ was a legend, let’s all focus on mourning then turn on each other. We all agree on one thing, the lose of MJ affected us all and as Mj fans (no matter what people previously said), lets spread what he left us. Music is what he gave us and wasn’t it just amazing? SO, focus on the music and spread for future generations. Kings and legends live on…. MJ is no exception
spread his music like the disciples did about Jesus…. ok….. bad really example hahah

I LOVE YOU TRENT !!!!

@Lady G — I see your point and perspective. While I contend that it is not fake to be both critical and respectful at the same time, I understand that you may believe it is. Regarding Britney (and to a much lesser extent Madonna), in recent years (for as long as I’ve been blogging) they have both done questionable things for which I was very critical (how quickly your forget Brit’s crazy meltdown and my commentary on her behavior, tho I suspect you never even read it in the first place). But, all the while, I was cheering them on (Brit mostly) in the hopes that they would pull themselves out of the holes they dug themselves into. Unfotch for MJ, he has done nothing positive to speak of. It’s the truth … until his new tour was announced, there was nothing to cheer on. Altho critical, I was also very hopeful (yet doubtful) that he would make a comeback — which is why I bought expensive tickets in London to bear witness to his comeback. Had he impressed me in concert, I would’ve said so. Sadly, that opportunity never came to fruition. Again, I’m not trying to convince you or anyone of anything. My point remains the same … I think it is absolutely valid and un-fake to be both critical and respectful.

@ Trent – no one said anything about winning a prize for being a true fan. Again, I just think its fake to be saying great things about him now that he’s dead when you weren’t before. Yes he had a controversial life as does many of the other celebrities that you have MORE positive things to say about (Madonna, Britney Spears, etc.) All I’m saying is that if anything most of your opinions about him were just cynical and negative as a whole and it just seems fake to be positive now. But again, as I said everyone is entitled to their opinions and you allow all to be expressed on your blog. Like you said, death is a terrible thing for anybody and one thing that we all should agree on is that yes, he will be missed now that he’s gone.

WORD? let it go. T calls it like he sees it always. and if you’ve been here so much, you’d know that. case in point: his beloved Brit-Brit!!! hey, if she’s a trainwreck – she’s a trainwreck, and T calls her out.

@Lady G — You don’t win a prize for being a “true fan”. There was nothing positive about MJ to talk about in his last days, weeks, months, years. Did he have a chance to make a stunning comeback? Yes, absolutely. Was I curious to see if he could pull it off? Yes, absolutely. Did I believe he would pull it off? No, I did not … but I did have some hope that he might. I can’t speak for the media’s coverage of MJ, I can only speak for myself. I have always been honest about the man … he was very troubled, did some questionable things and lived a very odd life. None of that has changed. But death is a very sad thing, about anybody. This is why I am trying to be as positive about someone in death who, in the last decade or so of his life didn’t offer much to be positive about. He was a genius … he was also a trainwreck. You are free to “have a problem” with whatever you like about my opinions … but I will continue to voice them. We don’t have to agree on everything but let’s agree on at least one thing. MJ will be sorely missed now that he has died.

Oh by the way, there’s nothing wrong with taking stock of MJ’s entire life, but I’m sure everyone can admit that there are some who say his life was more bad than good and vice-versa. Those that were more inclined to spread negativity and are now all of a sudden speaking of MJ positively are the ones that fans have problems with.

@Trent & Confused, I have to say that I think Confused may have a point. I have been a frequent visitor to this blog and I have noticed how much negativity had been focused towards MJ. Now it seems that since he has passed, you, Trent, seem to be all of a sudden writing positive things about his talent and the type of man he was. This to me just seems fake as does much of the media coverage as of late probably because no one wants to seem disrespectful to speak of MJ as they once did. It’s like some sort of morbid fad that now nobody in the media wants to appear wrong and speak of MJ as they normally would if he was alive. Everyone has their opinions, and I just think that if you never really thought much of Michael before then you shouldn’t be singing his praises now. Like Confused said, the people that really truly feel this loss (besides the money/attention hungry news outlets and bloggers) are the true fans that were loyal throughout MJ’s life. We aren’t blind, we just know fake sympathy when we see it.
