That's What I Said

  On Thriller...

  I said "I was born 9 years after him and grew up in the 1980s listening to his musice, getting the Thriller album, buying the Bad album on cassette and dancing and singing to all his songs. I saw the Motown 25 performance and the 1984 award show where he won 8 grammy awards for Thriller. That was really a sight to behold! Both of them! I will miss him, I cried my eyes out after hearing he was dead, he touched my life, his music had meanings that I understood, his voice was really sweet, some call him a freak because of all the tabloid reports that were lies and only half truths if at all true, and some think he was gay [so what], I don't think he was. He is still called a freak because his skin lightened, but he had Villitigo, a skin disorder that causes people to lose the pigment of their skin, [you can find look it up on the internet, it happens gradually and eventually the whole body is white]. People are so mean, no wonder he had come up with the Scream song and video. The way some are treating him now even after death, feels just like how I did in high school when I was being bullied. Everyone had something negative to say about me and I didn't do anything to them [turned out that someone I was hanging out with was distorting information about me to all those folks, so don't you think all the information about Michael was distorted just so they could have a shocking story to tell? That's how tabloids opperate, I don't buy them because I don't believe them but it appears that some are really naive and gullable and believe anything they read and hear. And some folks seem to not have any feelings, they are just violent. It's really disturbing, many seem to be angry about something, it's not really Michael Jackson but something else totally different and choose to berate him for whatever the media reported, he said that he had regretted some of the things he's done and he was aquitted of molesting that Jordan kid and people still berated him, I think people are just angry about different things, I'd want to die too if everyone berated me and never stopped, I came close to wanting to kill myself in high school because of bullies, I can just imagine being bullied by everyone in the country, that makes me ill."

  On What's your favorite Michael Jackson video?...

  I said "I don't think he was a freak, people who say that are jealous that they can't do what he did or was able to do. Those folks believed everything they heard in the media, all the lies in the tabloids, he didn't bleach his skin, he didn't commit any crimes against children, and he just wanted the media to leave him alone. I really liked him, some were offended by his dance moves, but I only saw them as dance moves, not sexual. He looks really good in the Bad video and he also looked good on the Motown 25 t.v. special when he danced to Billie Jean. Did you know Billie Jean was about a girl that was accusing him of being the father of one of the girl's twins? The Bad video was about a kid that went back to where he used to live and the people that he used to hang out with were so jealous of him they killed him. That's what Mike said in an interview I saw on You Tube. God rest his soul, he was a good person, he just got tangled up with the wrong people, he was like a child. He was a little too naive for his own good, he trusted the wrong people, he should have been scepical of everyone around him because most of them were after his money. Some folks are reporting seeing his ghost, have you seen the full length video Ghosts? It's really good, he gives a great performance, it's like watching a movie. You can see it on You Tube."

  On May 29, 1987...

  I said "People should not believe everything that they hear in the media, it is usually not true or half-true and blown out of proportion most of the time. MJ did not buy the Elephant Man's bones as stated in an interview because he stated he was just looking at them and he stated "what would I do with a bunch of bones?" he didn't buy them, media again seized on a "story" and "ran" with it. They did that too often with Michael Jackson. They said he slept in a chaimber of glass to stay young, they made almost everyone believe he was a pedofile, they made everyone believe he bleached his skin [his family was stated to have a history of Vallitigo], look closely at his sister La Toya, her skin is lightening too. He did not commit any crimes because the case was brought on by someone trying to extort money from him. The recent case of David Letterman going though and extortion case seems eerily familiar with MJ's because the doctor that is in the case is behind on child support, and so is the person trying to extort money from Letterman, GO FIGURE! HELLO!! this should be a red flag or 2."
