(9,083 posts)Michael was a very talented singer/dancer (just because you may not like his kind of music is only your personal choice, it does not mean that he had no talent). I can't speak about the pedophile charges. I wasn't there, and neither were you. What I do know is that he was found innocent on all counts by a jury of his peers, and I tend to agree with them.
I also suspect that lots of people like Michael are easy targets for grifters. He liked to hang out with children, because he was working from the age of 5, and BOOM he's suspected of being a pedophile. People who are different are called "extremely strange" by a judgmental public who eschew everything and everyone out of the ordinary. People who are different are hounded by bullies all their lives. Michael was a famous, rich black man, so the bullies in this case are a bit different. They ended up hounding him to death.
I still like listening to his music, and probably always will. Others are more fanatical in their admiration. So what? The fact he is still loved and admired severely pisses off those who never liked him in the first place. To that I say, "Ha ha, assholes, you lose!"
