 MJ was the one with his own publicity machine - putting the stories out of sleeping in an oxygen tank; wearing the masks and all the other ‘not so normal’ stuff, was all deliberate! He wanted to create mystique when did those things but, as with most things, the media twisted it all to make him look crazy! But, he was having fun. He never hid his ‘altered looks’ and was proud of all the other things he did. Personal attacks always comes with the territory of fame as well as all the madness of attention but, the important thing for a Star is how you deal with it. MJ has conducted himself impeccable right throughout his life - never really putting himself with women everywhere, creating ‘baby mommas’ all over the place or leaving himself open to get exploited that easily, he acted smart. Can you imagine not being able to go for a walk, look out of the window or do anything without it being in the news…??
The other night I was sitting down in front of the TV and at the start of the report, the reporter said ‘the self-styled King of Pop’… I was immediately forced to switch off..!! Fact... he was crowned ‘King’ by the world for being the best, for the longest time with the biggest amount of successes, selling the most records..!! We’ve been constantly reminded about ‘child molestation’ court cases, ‘pay-offs’, anything they can get their hands on, to take the attention away from all the great things he’s done. He went to court and, at the end of a mad four month trail, was found NOT GUILTY on all TEN counts, all done with the might and skill of some of the best Prosecuting Lawyers in America... and they still won’t leave him alone..!! The ‘baby dangling over the balcony’ incident... how many times have we been shown that..?? He was holding that baby tight and the reason he was in Germany was because he was invited… to be honoured for all he had done for children, the charities and everything that we never hear about. But, it didn’t matter what was said about him, the reality of the situation is that the support for him grows bigger by the day. The man with the largest following in the world because of his skills, lovable personality, fantastic long record and reputation of being the good guy... the public have NOT been put off... they have tried their best and it still didn’t work on people!
Another ridiculous angle of discussion I was in pain to witness was the argument about the comparison of MJ to Mozart and Shakespeare, from hundreds of years ago... before there was all this technology to communicate with, as if he didn’t deserve to be put up there! The way in which those journalists are going on, you would have thought they had actually met Mozart or Shakespeare!! I don’t want to put down other people’s heroes but, the truth has always been that people of certain classes in society who, are the heads of mainstream media houses etc., do their best to promote certain types of people who, they want the public to worship but, people make up their own minds these day about who is more important to them. Icons like Michael Jackson are classless and have earned universal respect! He has reached out and united the planet like no other human being, and that’s all NOW... not hundreds of years later! I think the orchestrated, negative reporting is an attempt to destroy the now, inevitable... MJJ will become immortalized for ever!!!
 The Press and TV are playing up his eccentricity, constantly reminding the public with collected examples of his extremes, using those activities to make a case that he was mad and there’s no surprise that he’s now dead. The truth of the matter is… he was a Genius. In the history of the world, most Geniuses that made big changes to the world were exceptionally bright, gifted people with some eccentricity! After all, isn’t that what makes them different from the pack? Having the guts and being brave enough to be different. Having said that, there were major differences with MJ - he was an extremely wealthy Genius which the public saw and appreciated - with his vast music collection of brilliant material. He wasn’t as gullible as they made him out to be. Contrary to his gentle image - soft speaking voice and all, behind the scenes, he was notorious for being the hard business man that was very much involved in the decision making of all of his ventures, that included how he wanted everything done in all aspects of is life since the ‘80s. He was very much a ‘hands on’ Artisan who, got involved in the production of all his shows - all the ideas; the videos, music, dancing, the lot. The Shows at London’s O2 Arena would have been the new standard, he wasn’t done!!
Whatever MJ did in his private life was not harmful to anyone..!! He had no history of any bad dealings, did no harm to anyone, wasn’t recklessness with women - he was the shy guy who didn’t do the ‘groupie thing’ after the show - just a clean loving soul on a mission to promote peace and love in the world through music. All the people over the years who, have either followed him, came into some sort of contact with him, worked with or met him personally refused to be tricked into thinking he’s anything less than a great man! A person doesn’t develop the world’s biggest following over forty-five years by privately doing wrong and being a fake! If all of the major celebrities of the world, that’s Politicians, Royalties, Singers, Producers, Actors etc. and the public come out and consistently say, throughout his life, that MJ is a great guy... why are others still trying to prove otherwise??!! Despite all the disappointment with betrayal etc. underneath it all, MJ remained a nice, generous guy that the fame never got the better of. He was the biggest thing to happen to Pop music… forever inventing, leading the way and was always the guy the industry looked up to and followed. He sold more records than anyone else in history so, let’s just remember that!
An American Annual Holiday is in order for Michael Joseph Jackson
