Michael Jackson (A True Legend?) you decide

Hey Bloggsters, still green on this blogging scene I was itching to do a little something on the great MJ…..I was on this website NME and I found an article about MJ that really got me thinking…simply because some people been acting a fool.

(According to NME website)
"Michael Jackson's Father Joe appeared on TV in the US, and was blaming his son’s doctor for his death. Joe Jackson went on Larry King’s show on CNN (July 20) and said that cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray gave him something to make him rest, and then he don't wake up no more. Something is wrong there.” He also said that the doctor fled after Jackson’s death and it took investigators three days to find him. "This doctor, he ran away. They had to look for him three days to find him. To me that is foul play," Joe Jackson said. Several bottles of propofol were found in Jackson's home following his passing. The drug is usually only administered in hospitals. Dr. Murray has already been interviewed by police. He is not a suspect, but is a person of interest as he was the one who tried to revive Jackson at his home on June 25. His car was seized as police wanted to search it for drugs. Michael Jackson passed away on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest. The toxicology report is due next week"

Now the circumstances surrounding MJ’s death is not the thing that I question, what puzzles me is the fact that it has been said from the mouth of Michael that he was abused by his father. MJ even talked about it on the Oprah Winfrey show stating that his dad used to lock him up in a dark room if he thought that his performance was not up to standard. Not to mention the severe ill treatment of MJ’s other siblings……Now at 10 years old you are simply looking to enjoy your childhood and learn certain things about life that would be beneficial to you in the future…and in my opinion MJ was simply Robbed of a natural childhood……Faced with this constant pressure it caused him to make some decisions that were questionable…such as the reconfiguration of his skin and face…However one need to look at the significant contribution to the entertainment world not to mention the Truck loads of money given to a variety of charities by this man…It has even been recorded in the Guinness book of world records that the most money ever given to charity by an individual was done my none other than Michael…..And you bloggers know by now that I am a bit passionate when it comes to this hole issue of race….Now back in the day there was tons of racial tension and discrimination especially towards black people…and MJ simply created a bridge between all the different races through his music….as well as empower youngsters such as Usher, ginuwine, Chris Brown just to name a few to follow in his footsteps….Come on people wake up…!! How about the umpteen acres of land MJ dedicate to the famous (Never Never Land Ranch) which was simply a haven for little kids to go and have fun…being something Michael never had as a child..

To be faced with such harsh treatment from a parent at such a young age then to still maintain such an outstanding track record in the contributions he made to the world is simply commendable…
