    The creepiest. Too bad, he really had talent.

    That’s not MJ in the first picture, is it?

  3. Megan says:

    Looks like a mannequin.

    His arse is nuts!!!!!

    Ha ha ha, that header had me in fits. Does he really? Why not say, I feel weird annd strange coz he sure looks it.

    Strangely if he made a genuine effort of resurrecting his career, he would be a success. Not as massive as he used to be, but he still has fans. He would also make some new fans who are into ‘weird’ people. LOL.

    I remember his ‘comeback’ on the Motown 25 special in 1983. We were crowded around the tv and saw him perform the moonwalk for the first time. The audience went crazy. I loved him doing the ‘mashed potatoes’ he can dance.
    Yeah, he has gotten creepy and I wouldn’t want him alone with my grandkids, but no one can deny his talent.
    Here’s the video-

    Doesn’t he have 3 kids? The article only mentioned 2. What happened to the other boy?

    He may FEEL wise and sage, but in reality he is a mentally ill loon who has no business raising children. God only knows what he’s done to them. I shudder at the thought.

    I agree he is talented, but that does not mitigate the crimes against kids that I am convinced he has committed. He should be giving his interviews from a jail cell.

    He looks like the joker in that lead shot. he was such a cute kid with so much talent. It just seems so sad and unbelievable thats all. How could something like that happen?

    Are you sure that is not Rumer Willis in the first pic???

  10. Strawberry In Disguise says:

    No no, the helmet man (woman?) is much to pretty to be Michael. They should hire an imposter with more cheekbone next time 😉

  11. KPC says:

    Do you think you would gasp if you saw him in person? I mean they must have told him no more surgery or his face would collapse…that is the only logical answer to why he wears the deflated face. then again is he able to think logically.

    Isn’t he broke too? I heard Neverland is bye-bye.

    I want the real Micheal Jackson back, not this plastic replica 🙁

  13. Tina says:

    It is such a shame… One of the greatest artists ever has been torn apart.
    I have never believed the allegations that cost him his career and life, and hope that he continues to use his amazing talent.
    Maybe one day a comeback?

    I think maybe the real M.J. is off on another planet performing sold out shows for crowds of interstellar aliens, and earth got stuck with this atrophied imposter. But don’t worry, the REAL M.J. will return to save us at our most dyer moment by moonwalking the apocalypse away.

    Hard to believe that I once had a crush on him! Sad that he just spiralled down in a Howard Hughes kind of way. He should take up the priesthood, he’d be in tall cotton…. OK. I’m ducking!

  16. sabine says:

    Michael Jackson is a sad story. So talented (and his music is still good)…but honestly, he belongs on a shrink’s couch. His face shows the world how dysfunctional he is. I am concerned about him raising children.

  17. Victoria says:

    AGREE ALL…. How sad that Michael has been reduced to this sad and deflated state… His sister Janet said once, that ” the cheekbones in her brothers face were so paper thin, that if he were ever in a car wreck or hit very hard by someone, they could not be repaired”. The same with his nose, which had more artificial parts than Pam Andersons breasts and body. How in the world did he ever think all of this would look good? People loved him BACK then, the way he was. What happened to his mind, to make him undergo such changes to his body? ,,,,, I wonder what his poor children must think. They are home-schooled, so obviously do not come in contact with other children of their ages often. What an odd life they must lead.. At least other celebrity kids go out in public ( not with masks on either ), and attend school and play in parks, and etc….. we comment on them….. In 10 to 20 years I wonder what kind of beings they will be for us to comment on then. After all that sheltering…

    Some wounds never heal;
    “From a young age Jackson was physically and mentally abused by his father, enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling. Jackson’s abuse as a child affected him throughout his grown life. In one altercation—later recalled by Marlon Jackson—Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and “pummelled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks”. Joseph would often trip up, or push the male children into walls.Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey. He said that during his childhood he often cried from loneliness and would sometimes get sick or start to regurgitate upon seeing his father. In Jackson’s other high profile interview, Living with Michael Jackson (2003), the singer covered his face with his hand and began crying when talking about his childhood abuse. Jackson recalled that Joseph sat in a chair with a belt in his hand as he and his siblings rehearsed and that “If you didn’t do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get you.”

    Yeah, I’m with Lauri. What about his 3rd child?

    We watched a bunch of Michael Jackson videos on OnDemand last night… it was the coolest thing watching my 3 1/2 year old niece watch Thriller for the first time!!! She was scared to death, but we convinced her they were just “funny, dancing monsters!” lol

    But then, we went from Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean, where she would say “that boy is dancing on the lights” and “he’s dancing with funny monsters” to Bad, where my niece then started saying “where’s that girl dancing at?” and “she just said ‘woooo'”… I realized that was when the plastic surgery went too far!!! lol We tried through the whole song to convince her that that was Michael Jackson and HE is a HE, but she just couldn’t see it!

    But she loved the music… he really was great at what he did!

    Crimes? He was acquitted both times and the circumstances were dubious. It’s likely those people wanted to extort money from him. It’s also possible because of his wealth he got himself off. But we don’t know so why does everyone talk about it as if it’s a fact? Power of the media–just remember that.

    It’s also interesting to me that all that happened after the beginning of his “Heal the World” campaign.
