A few thoughts on this situation. I feel saddened that it is happening to someone I used to have a lot of respect for. I mean, I used to like quite a few of his songs and music videos. I think a majority of you who have posted have liked a song or two of his.
I think a lot of you are also condemning him before he is proven guilty. This reminds me a little of people who are racist, homophobic, etc....they immediately disassociate themselves with things they are scared of or things they don't understand. A lot of you are scared of the fact that he is odd and lives a very ecclectic lifestyle. You condemn him regardless if he is guilty or innocent.
Michael never had a "real" childhood. From the start, his life has always been manipulated by someone else. Can you really blame him for being child like now? He is living out what he never had the opportunity to do when he was a child. So, when he says he has kids over for sleep overs, I "want" to think that it is purely innocent and he is just living out his childhood fantasies because he never had the opportunity to do so before. On the other hand, if he truly did do something to those kids and the accusations are not some way to extort millions from him again, then he should suffer the ultimate consequences for his actions.
In short, I could go both ways on this argument. Either way, I am saddened by it.
