I know this will not endear me to the millions of fans that idolized Michael Jackson, but in my mind at least, calling him the King Of Pop, is right up there with calling Twinkie Bars fine dining! Of course many people might disagree with my analysis, but private views are just that.
Michael Jackson – The Life And Times Of The King Of Pop 1958-2009 is a retrospective of Michael Jackson’s life by Rick Burton and Wilson Ebiye. I put this DVD in the player and had low expectations, I was not disappointed.
Much of the footage is from the tribute service, there is little that we have not seen a gazzilion times before.
On the bright side they do have Stevie Wonder’s great performance. On the downside they also have Al Sharpton whining on, and on, and on….
Of course a funeral is no place to trash anyone, so we should not be surprised by Al Sharpton’s remarks.
Usher is also featured, I am not sure that the acoustics really fitted his performance, but, he tried.
The DVD keeps on after the tribute. A bunch of interviews with ‘the man in the street.’ Without doubt, this had me gagging.
There is a brief clip from his appearance with Madonna in early 2009. Fun for what it is, but in reality what is it?
For the Michael Jackson fan this DVD will be a must have, for the rest of us, I doubt that we would even crack the DVD case.

I have enjoyed some of his music from time to time… But sorry, Michael… A PRINCE he is NOT!!!
Well, everybody has a right to their opinion…I just wonder how old are you Steve? You must be very young to not remember what Michael Jackson has accomplished and why is he called the King of Pop….Who do you think deserves this title? Just asking. If you look at the whole career of Michael Jackson, you find out that his career lasted some 40 years. And he was only fifty when he died. Because of his hard work and singing and dancing abilities he was able to transition from a child star to a great respected artist. Not that many people accomplish that. It is very hard for any child star. Second of all – have you ever listened to his albums? Start with Off the Wall which is a masterpiece. And Michael was only 21 recording that album. And of course with Thriller, Michael set the bar way up there with his visionary. That album is something that hasn’t been done before, combining rock, r’n’b, soul and latino music together. He created pop music. With the music, the dance moves and the short films, he was way up there. No wonder Thriller has sold more than 100 mil. albums to today! Who has done that before? And it is because Michael was dedicated to his art, never came to studio unprepared, never had an ego about anything, was always polite and respectful to everyone around him, never said a bad word about any artist and he could sing beautifully, dance amazingly and create shows like nobody else. He is the true King of Pop and guess what – nobody will ever take that title from him. No matter how much you and others try. Michael has a huge army of fans that will be fans for ever. Amen!
LONG LIVE KING MICHAEL, THE ONLY KING OF MUSIC. From your millions of fans here in Asia, we love you the most.
I could not articulate Michael’s impact to music and the world better than Marcela. Here in Singapore and Malaysia we are going to do another tribute on new years eve and already plan for all Michael’s important dates next year.
Laughably delusional – and that’s being kind. Michael Jackson is undisputably the King Of Pop. Underestimating his epic contribution to music and dance is an easy mistake to make though, so this opinion is forgiven. Part of the legend of Michael was/is undoubtedly his ablility to make the heights of effortless stagecraft and vocal supremacy appear reachable. As any of today’s stars and veterans of the music industry will attest, such magnificent artistry is never easy; it is a gift from the Gods. And yet, the remarkable thing about Michael wasn’t what came naturally to him, but instead what he toiled for hours at perfecting. When once asked what advice he would give aspiring artists he relied – ‘be a scientist.’ He understood that to acquire masterhood, one must study the Masters. Few know of the hours Michael spent watching old dance movies, painstakingly putting together the signature sequences that will now stand the test of time. Still less know he could manipulate his voice with unparalleled skill, transforming it into an instrument of intense emotion, and yet total precision. Yes, underestimating Michael is an easy mistake. Of course, he didn’t help to contradict the misconceptions. Not for him the posturings of hip-hop’s alpha males proclaiming their prowess, the elitist chatter of classical demagogues, or the tedious crowd baiting of rock stars. No, Michael Joseph Jackson simply made his music and gave away millions to deprived children – for years.
Twinkie bar? Sure, it were made of the most precious substance in the universe – and lasted forever.
Deborah Ffrench said -Jackson simply made his music and gave away millions to deprived children – for years.
Indeed he did, one only has to look at the court case that was settled ‘out of court’. One young man did reap benefits!
The question that lingers is… was it payment for services rendered?
simon,whether you like it or not michael his the king of pop and one of the greatest entertainer that ever lived that is the reason why millions of people all over the world continue to miss him
I wish you could endervour to do some research concerning those famlies that claimed he molested their kids instead of beleiving hook , line and sinker what was fed to the masses by the media.they were opportunistic liars
It is only those who are prejudiced that would deny his talents,you just need to watch youtube
DizzzzzAM Simon !!!
Are you and I related, somehow?
I don’t understand people who state that they know Michael molested kids. I don’t believe he did, but I admit we don’t have proof either way. Still, there are credible journalists who have researched the evidence and concluded that he innocent. And if he really is innocent, what does that mean about the intense hate that was directed toward him and how it damaged his career? And I don’t think you have to love him or his music best to acknowledge his accomplishments and contributions to music and the music industry.
As a life long Michael Jackson fan the child abuse inuendo no longer bothers me. Michael was a truly innovative artist that so many try so hard to put him in his place by saying he wasn’t anything special. The man opened doors for minorities on a tv station that refused to play minority music. This openeded the world to rap/hip hop music that so dominated the airwaves particulary ths past decade. There is no need to discuss Michael Jackson’s accomplishments with those who do not want to acknoewldege his impact. He had te best videos and the best dance moves of any popular artist.
One more thing. Yes it is true tht Michael gave millions upon millions to charity. But he NEVER PAID ONE RED CENT to the ’93 accuser. The ’93 accusers father sued Michael’s homeowners insurance and THEY paid because THEY were sued. If you are going to bring up child abuse payments you better get your facts straight. Besides the boys father commited suicide about 6 weeks ago and the boy did not attend his funeral. The boy is now back with his mother after being kept from her for 16yrs. The funeral home gave an interview in which they say they were instructed no one would be attending the fathers funeral and no one did. He should be the hero of his family, instead he died alone. Why? He did a good thing. Right?
Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture.
Five of Jackson’s solo albums – “Off the Wall,” “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Dangerous” and “HIStory,” all with Epic Records – are among the top-sellers of all time and “Thriller” holds the distinction as the largest selling album worldwide in the history of the recording industry with more than 70 million units sold. Additionally, singles released from the Thriller album sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, another all time record.
During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and “Thriller” as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award’s Artist of the Century Award.
Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as “Billie Jean,” “Beat It” and the epic “Thriller.” Jackson’s sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.
and that is why he is called the king of pop. duh. Also, since when do accusations make someone guilty? Small and narrow minds think alike sadly….
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don’t make it factual – Michael Jackson
I have researched the charges against MJ as well as his habits of entertaining children. Even with the facts that I could find it is difficult to draw a conclusion without some room for doubt. On one hand you have MJ in a man’s body but very much still a child himself. He missed out on his childhood to entertain the world. He appears to have attempted to recapture his childhood by surrounding himself with children and things to entertain children with. I truly believe he loved children, however, he was an adult with adult urges. So on the other hand you have a man that had a secret bedroom, provided alcohol and porno to young boys, showered and slept with them, and kept erotic pictures of small boys which he claimed to be “art”. Perhaps the alcohol and porno are most troubling as these are common tools of a pedophile. Also the fact that he seemed to target boys and not girls would indicate something more sinister at work rather than just a “love of all children”. Did Michael do wonderful things for children? Yes. Did he provide endless assistance to children and other charitable causes? Yes. Is there something peculiar about his activities with children? I’m afraid I would have to say yes to that as well. Showering, sleeping and cuddling children while providing them “Jesus juice (alcohol) and providing them with porno is just a little too suspicious in my book and as stated previously, well documented tools of a pedophile.
Michael was extremely shy and NEVER asked a woman out. He would have someone else ask them for him OR they would have to ask him out. Perhaps his inability to seek famale compansionship due to his shyness and notariety while having normal male urges also gives me some suspision in regard to his activities with young boys. He was extremely lonely surrounding himself with statues and maniquins to help him not feel so alone. He was a troubled soul with claims of abuse (which I believe) by his father. When you look at his troubled youth, lack of a childhood, obvious mental anguish and his peculiar fascination with children I’m afraid the conclusion is not a good one. Was he found innocent in a court of law? Yes. But molestation is VERY difficult to prove and many a pedophile has gone free.
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed his performances and much of his music over the years and found him to be an incredible performer. However, I would never leave my own child alone with him. We will never know the truth as is the case with most molestation claims. The fact is he was talented and was hailed by millions to be the King of Pop in life so let the man rest in peace with his title.
That does bring up another issue in that we place these entertainers and sports figures on pedestals and grant them titles of God-Like qualities. Tiger Woods is probably the most recent “superstar” to topple off his pedestal but by no means the first or the last. I think it important to remember that all of these PEOPLE we hold with such high regard are in fact mere mortals. They do terrible things, they lie, they cheat, they steal. Perhaps when looking for true heroes and persons to place in such high esteem we should look a little closer to home. Our parents, teachers, policemen, firemen and servicemen just to name a few. THESE are the true heroes and while they certainly don’t live the lives of the rich and famous, our lives are TRULY richer for having them in it.
IMO MJ was a talented but troubled man with many skeletons in his closet. I applaud him for the musical creations I have enjoyed and pity him for the obvious torment he suffered. I personally will not hail him as the King of anything as I have but one King, my heavenly Father. But that is merely my opinion and I gladly leave others to theirs.
Michael Jackson was a pedophile, all the people who worship him make me sick.
you are entitled to your opinion but to say mj is a pedophile based on what those money grubbing families said is unfortunate.i just dont know any parent who would allow their kids to have sleepovers with an adult and claim afterwards the person was molesting thier child,instead of reporting the person to child services immediately they tried to extort money from him and when he refused they decided to go to the authorities;both families were not credible and were opportunistic;
Even though I know mj had lots of issues I cannot in good faith believe any of the families based on my knowledge.
TO JB.It is obvious your research was limited based on the things you highlighted cos it just the regurgitation of what was written/said by the tabloid media most of which were false.I wonder why people readily believe the media when it was the so called media that lied and sold us a needless war.
If you want to know the truth you can start by reading the court transcript and the book by aphrodite jones .there are so many other resources thay I can recommend.
Nobody is saying mj is their king nor comparing him to the almighty father in heaven,we are just saying that we appreciate his talent and hardwork throughout his life.
Beau – the info provided is but the tip of the iceberg as far as info found during my personal research – there is not enough room here to list all I uncovered and discovered. I do believe what I stated to be true (at least IMO). The fact is NONE of us will EVER know the truth. Much of what I stated were Michael’s own words in the tapes with the Rabbi, in transcripts and interviews. But I won’t debate the facts with you any further. It is clear from my previous post that I find some of his actions to be questionable but I do not question his talent. MJ took the truth to the grave with him where it will remain.
JB I thought YOU said you researched the trial. You named things that were said by the prosecution, but never proven. They could have said he attemted to run a kid over with car and it sound like you would have believed that.
The bottom line is that after Michael died the tv tabloid shows only then began to entertain interviews by the GIRLS yes the GIRLS that stayed at Neverland invited by MJ.
Most do not know that he stayed friends with the little girl from the Moonwalker home video. The little girl who played Annie gave a tour of Neverland including Michael’s bedroom for a tv show. (it is on youtube)
Also there was a young teenage singer that Michael wanted to help get her career started and he had her and her mother living at Neverland with him.
There is an old video from the Oprah Winfrey show in which she featured a young girl of about 10yrs old whose name was Amy. She called Michael her best friend. He spent a lot of time with Amy at his home.
During the 2003 accusations most people don’t know that there were two girls from Germany along with one of the other girls I just named staying at Nevrland along with his acuser.
People kept saying ALL ALONG that they only FOCUS on boys to sell a PICTURE of Michael Jackson THEY want you to believe.
I will not debte the case or talk about the more girls because it would take up too much space. But there are more. Maybe in an additional post I’ll name them.
If you really want to research the case: READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!
With respect, Levi and Simon Barret:
You assume an authority you do not possess. I am not privy to your motivations for saying what you say; but on my travels around the web I have seen a lot of ‘gleeful’ and hateful blogs about what Michael was supposed to have ‘done’ to children. These blogs are always filled with a great deal of unprocessed rage and negativity, a real venom towards Michael, and little authentic concern about either Jordan or Gavin. I won’t bore you by detailing here all the profoundly substantial reasons why the sexual allegations against Mr Jackson are baseless. That has already been ably done by Thomas Mesereau, Charles Thompson, Aphrodite Jones, Geraldine Hughes, Chris Apostle and many others.
But one day Michael’s children will be confronted with the horrific and painful realities of the circumstances that drove their father to reach for extreme medication in order to sleep. They will ask the questions their family are already dreading. They will ask why their father died and what led him there. They will later ask for the reasons as to what their father did that made an entire country not only turn their back on him, but effectively take away his rights as a human being. His children will deserve to know the answers to these questions. I believe and I feel those answers should amount to more than the ratings-driven sensationalism and biased hearsay the Amercian public allowed themselves to be force-fed with for over 15 years. I guess I am asking you to rememeber the relentless barrage of distortion the networks, papers and on-line sites rotated and speculated on for months during the trial,and indeed since 1993 – and ask yourself this:
Are you sure you really know the truth? Because if you aren’t, that makes what was done to Michael Jackson – nothing short of inhumane.
To Deborah Ffrench,thanks a lot for your relentless effort in defending michael on the web.I really appreciate your efforts.
I was just a casual fan prior to his death but became intrested cause I had a lot of patients that were affected by his death.I decided to do extensive research on him to find out why he was able to connect to millions of people emotionally, know more about his troubled life and gain some insight into my patients psyche.I was overwhelmed by what I discovered about him.he was one of the kindest and loving entertainers that ever lived despite all the childhood travails and difficulties he endured throughout life.People/media didnt understand him because he was odd.They believed what the media told them and lies by those horrible families.As a physcian I have come in contact with pedophiles and my husband who is also a physician, who has given his expertise/opinion in court on so many forensic law cases agreed that he doesnt have the profile of a pedophile.There are just to many reasons why but I cant begin to bore you with a lot of medical jargons.I also read the court transcripts,numerous books both pro and against him and concluded he was innocent.
I just wished we had not become a country of intellectually lazy people who gobble everything the media throws at them without doing any research to see if what they are being fed is true.you know our opinion is shaped by the media They know sensationalism sells and if they give us that they make more money.
I would defend michael as much as I can.Deborah, I might not be as active as you due to the nature of my job but I want you to know so many people appreciate your endeavours
Thanks.
To people who say “Michael liked young boys more than the girls and so there must be something sinister”. For God’s sake Michael was a boy himself (man child)who liked all the fun things that small boys like (eg playing video games, water baloon etc). He wasn’t playing barbie dolls. So ofcourse he liked the company of boys more than the girls ’cause they had similar likes and dislikes. Plus he was drawn to kids because of their innocense and felt more at ease interacting with them. I personally am quite similar – I find it difficult to interact with women my age but more so with small kids and the much older generation – I feel that they don’t judge and are very real. And I am no pedophile. I understand Michael’s situation very much.
Thankyou Beau. Sometimes I do wonder if I am reaching anyone. I sort of have to write you
see – it’s like a need. But it’s really lovely to think some of it is being read, and even more wild to think that in some way it could possibly be helping people feel like their own voices are being heard.

We are millions.
And we will not be silent.
Not this time.
Something beyond vicious was done to Michael Jackson and everyone knows it. Even now, after his death, the same people who went after him for no greater reason than personal ambition, seek to justify their persecution by painting him as a cheap drug addict. Yes, he was taking an extreme drug at the end. Not to get high though, but to obviate consciousness.
But what got him there? What made a young man known for his abstention – to the extent that he didn’t even drink pepsi, end his days in a made-to-measure trauma room? Does anyone care that a little boy from Gary, Indiana who grew up in front of us, gave us everything he had, worked for every cent he ever made by virtue of his own blood, sweat and tears; was so ill-served, betrayed and abused by – first, his father and then the American criminal justice system and a collusive media; that oblivion was his best case scenario every night.
I’m not ashamed to be heartbroken. I’ll mend of course. Life has a habit of moving on. But show me someone (reasonable) who can remain unmoved in the face of the epic trajectory of this unfeasibly talented human being, the seemingly ambivalent legacy of that which he leaves behind, the sheer magnitude of what he achieved here – and I will show you a stone.
For this is legend. We have witnessed legend. Other generations had theirs. This is ours.
And I will show respect.
And JB.
The Rabbi, who has been publicly and roundly condemned by Rabbi Michael Shenfield, amongst others,for -(translation)’evil gossip,'(their words not mine), is not a credible source for anything pertaining to Michael.
Permit me to explain:
If you take the time to youtube the speech Michael Jackson gave at Oxford University, England – an engagement put together by Rabbi Shmuley, you can quite clearly hear Michael Jackson say near the beginning of the speech that he and Shmuley were working on a book about child-like qualities and why they are important. The mandate of the book they were writing together was absolutely nothing to do with Hitler, Madonna etc. Nor was the book designed to be a way for Michael to try to manipulate his way back into the public’s affections. Thus Shmuley is proved to be a liar, for he clearly stated on Dateline and other talk shows that this was the mandate of the book; for Michael to ‘show who he really way – in his own words’
For Shmuley to release into the public forum unedited, off-the-cuff remarks that Michael made and obviously were not intended to be part of the final edit, is reprehensible – even for a media whore like him. Shmuley’s God is money. His book amounts to a serious trangression of the sacred laws of Judaism and a total breach of Michael’s trust and confidence. To use the death of a friend – even a former one to profit persoanlly marks this ‘rabbi to the stars’ as the worst kind of betrayer.
And unless, JB, you personally watched Shmuley cut and edit those tapes and can therefore say for certain what he left in and what he didn’t, and what he may or may not have tampered with; please don’t quote his shabby little page-turner back to us as any kind of reliable source on Michael Jackson.
Naive you might be, but we are not.

Wacko was a “boy lover” junkie.
Found in his home in 1993 the year of his first molestation allegations.
Wacko paid of a boy he slept with night after night 20 million dollars worth of negligence in a civil case that started as sexual molestation.
Now I ask you what 34 year old man crys to sleep with your son and has naked pictures of 10-12 year old boys around?
A pedophile.
From the search of defendant’s bedroom bedroom in 1993 the following unnumbered items:
–Book:
“Boy Will Be Boys”, containing photographs of boys under the age of 14; full frontal nudity. The book is personally inscribed by Michael Jackson;
–Book:
“In Search Of Young Beauty”, containing photographs of children, both boys and girls; some nude;
–Book:
“The Boy, A Photographic Essay” containing black and white photos of boys, some nude;
–Photograph:
A photograph of a boy , believed to be Jonathan Spence; fully nude.
–Photograph:
A photograph of a young boy holding an umbrella; wearing bikini bottoms partially pulled down.
No child pornography was ever found in Mr Jackson’s home at Neverland. If there had been, Mr Jackson would have been automatically charged with possession of illict material, no matter how good his lawyer was.
The myths surrounding the accusers of 1993 and 2005; what did or did not match, what was or was not found, or what did or did not happen – rage across around the web, and what one believes pretty much depends on you choose to believe.
Having said that, it is also clear from the recent Grammys, that what is for many a dry rendition of gossip and hearsay, is for Michael Jackson’s family and his young children in particular – a very present source of deep pain and unspeakable grief.
So I say to you and to anyone in fact, who continues to smear the name of a man who vigourously defended his inncocence and who was in fact, innocent.
Why do you think Thomas Mesereau, Aphrodite Jones, Charles Thomson, Deborah Kunesh, Chris Apostle, Azja Pryor and the millions of people who couldn’t give a damn how good Thriller is; are fighting for Michael’s truth?
Short answer.
Because what was done to Michael Jackson was nothing short of inhumane.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8iO1wRHegY
Who’s the most famous person that ever walked this planet (excluding Jesus and Muhammad)? ask anyone in the most remote places in all continents – it’s MJ. There are always people who are haters, but nobody will ever be like MJ in the field of entertainment. He was a genius. The consequence of his fame was a life in a fish bowl. We must not judge him. It was us who deprived him to live a normal life. I think he was the only celebrity who would cause panic EVERYWHERE he went. He was a truly amazing person.
This is a great review! And a host of interesting posts to follow. I myself am a huge fan of MJ and have been since I was a kid watching Thriller for the first time. That said, the controversy will always be there.
Any other MJ fans out there planning to watch the TV Guide Network’s Michael Jackson special, Gone Too Soon, on June 25th? Apparently it delves into much of the controversy around his untimely death, and also how the constant controversy during his life may have contributed to it.

To Deborah Ffrench: Thank you so much for your research to help in finally releasing the whole truth. I just read your fantastic article at http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/97709/9 “Michael Jackson: The Making of a Myth – Part 1” on stereoboard.com.
This is the most thoroughly researched article I have read to date. I have read all the bits and pieces separately in my own thorough research, but I do not have the talent to bring them all together as you have so expertly done. You have done a great service to all of us who truly seek the truth: The people who are not willing to stand by and watch as the uninformed or lazy continue to further perpetuate the inhumane treatment of one of the finest human beings of all time. Michael Jackson made a huge positive impact in so many ways in this world… how many other people can say their life made even a small difference? Not many.
Deborah, you’ve made a difference, and I along with many of Michael’s friends, family and fans really appreciate it. Thank you, we love you more. P.S. How the heck do we access Part 2? I can’t wait to read it.
Hi. Thankyou for that feedback. This work is being put out there for anyone who wishes to read the facts. In that respect, it serves an evidentiary purpose.
It has not been written to insult or denigrate anyone, but to expose and illuminate what has been hidden from a great proportion of people for over 16 years.
The mechanics behind the continuance of the lack of correct information about Mr Jackson, that has led to an erroneous belief in the ‘guilt’ of Michael Jackson is due to simply this – a lack of visible, cogent information on formats other than ‘fan’ sites.
For writers and people who, like me, were not ‘fans,’ they have simply not been exposed to the facts. This is now changing.
Part II will be uploaded in three weeks. Please pass the link to the part I pdf on to as many American and overseas websites as possible – even those that have nothing to do with Michael Jackson.
The internet is a fantastic medium for sharing information. I am only one of many, working to restore balance to the misinformation and distortion. But, in order for this work to have effect – it needs to be available.
Hi Deborah. I just wanted to say thank you for your many articles and blogs illuminating the truth regarding what Michael had to endure. Your writing is inspirational and very moving. I hope you continue to reach out, despite the often abusive posts directed to you. Please know that you are supported and admired from afar, and that we who love Michael are united despite the distance between us. Jenny — New Zealand
