Here is what I honestly think:

Between the abuse he received as a child and the becoming incredibly famous at such a young age, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible for him to NOT be messed up. However, given his financial resources he also could have gotten help and his overall life could have gone better if he had a reliable and well-intentioned manager, perhaps, or someone in his camp who was more than just a "yes man" (or "yes woman", whatever the case may be).

Personally, I do believe he engaged improperly with young children. I have no evidence of this obviously, it's just my gut.

I also believe that at the time of his death he was addicted to pharmaceuticals and that they played a role in his death.

Overall I feel sorry for him.

In terms of his musical abilities, I think he was a tremendous talent. No matter how weird the rest of his life was, when he took the stage, it was magical. I still like his music a lot. It would have been neat to see him make a real comeback in that realm, but it was not to be.

I feel sorry for him, too.

I think he was very unhappy with himself, evidenced by all the plastic surgeries.

I don't know the truth of the sexual lawsuits. I believe that is between him and God now, and not for me to judge.

In the end, all his Fame and Fortune couldn't prevent him from dying alone, at 50.

So I say Rest in Peace.

I tend to agree with Lori, here. It is in many ways a tragic story on a lot of levels, and the stories that have come out about how he didn't want to do all 50 shows in London, etc., are very sad. It seems as though he was manipulated in his life by others who were making money off his talent and reputation. But it is hard to see why he didn't push back, unless he was just so ill and addicted that he could not imagine how to do so.

I feel sorry for Michael Jackson too.

There's been so much talk about him - both positive and negative - in the last month, that I'm getting a little tired of hearing about him. I'm sorry to have to say this, but can't we just let the poor man rest in peace.

Farrah Fawcett and David Carradine also died in June. Walter Cronkite died last week. None of them is getting the publicity and stories that Micheal Jackson is getting. Let him rest in peace already.

I don't know if any of us will ever know the real "truth." He certainly had a troubled life amongst all his success. He was an attractive black man... it's too bad he couldn't see that before all the plastic surgery. I think the world lost a great chance to see probably one of the greatest comeback concerts of all time. I would have liked to have heard more music from him.

All that said.... Those with the biggest loss are his kids. I see now that sister Janet may raise them. I think that would be fantastic for all concerned (based, of course, on the knowledge of the whole situation available to the public.)
