Michael Jackson has always been Michael Jackson. It cracks me up when people say things like 'He USED TO be so normal'. Michael Jackson was walking around with a chimp way back in the early 1980s. He's always had his own way of living his life, but people didn't see that because he didn't make any kind of big deal out of it, or they saw it for the harmless situation it is.

It seems like the minute he starts to let people into his life in any substantial way (note that huge Oprah interview in 1993 and again with Bashir), all hell breaks loose.

What has changed most over the years is not Michael Jackson, but rather people's perceptions of his behavior.

What do you think?

michaela  - MJ=Love   |2008-04-29 09:22:47 I think Michael Jackson is controversial because no matter what he do,no matter what people think about him,or say about him. No matter people hate him and try to destroy him. He still stand still coz he has so many fans who love him dearly. His fans love him not just because his music but also personally,because Michael really loves his fans,not because we buy his album and no other artist have that. even Michael is not as great as he used to be...for his fans he will always be the greatest. People are envy him for it,coz no matter how hard they try to hurt Michael,there's millions who protect him with love and pray Reply | Quote 0   0

Ayenge  - Mr   |2008-04-29 10:35:19 Michael became controversial when BAD was released and people couldn"t believe their eyes how he changed physicaly so drasticaly. Finally, and whatever the "vitiligo" or not, the only thing that people couldn't take was how he passed from Balck to white. It is a good opportunity for MJ haters who could isolate hiem of his basis: The black community. "You see, he is not balck anymore, he doesn't like to be black...and unfortuntely he did work at least partially because, by ignorance of the above mentioned desease, many blacks didn't want to hear about Michael anymore because they felt betrayed". That's sad but that's true. Ay Reply | Quote 0   0

Janessa   |2008-05-06 10:47:04 Controversy is element of being Famous! *MJ became Controversial instantly the minute he became POP ICON & Professional *The re is NO LIMITATION to the Question of 'Controversy', When ANYONE clearly holds himself or herself out in a Professional or Expertise manner, then that person has put himself or herself out willingly with an Implied Consent to any FORM of PUBLIC Contorversy and thereby any issues of starting to let people into his life in any substantial way is RUBBISH!!!!! and Irrelevant!!!. Q.E. D = PROVED!! Cheers Again JANESSA Reply | Quote 0   0
