Using the term "Jew" (a noun, an ethnic identifier - NOT A VERB) to connote a negative, stereotyped behavior is totally anti-semitic. gimme a fucking break.

Jackson eyes $400m comeback plan
By Ian Youngs Music reporter, BBC News
Michael Jackson announces his comeback
Michael Jackson could earn more than $400m (£283m) from a comeback deal involving new music and movies as well as concerts, his promoter has revealed.
The pop superstar has announced 10 gigs at the O2 arena in London this summer.
Randy Phillips, head of AEG Live, which is staging the gigs, said they had a wider deal that could cover a world tour and a 3D film based on Thriller.
He also said: "We're talking to him about helping him figure a new plan for the release of singles, new music."
Last tour
Jackson appeared at the London venue on Thursday to announce his comeback concerts.
He billed them as "the final curtain call" and "my final show performances in London".
Speaking afterwards, Mr Phillips said: "These will be the last shows in London. Whether he will go on from here around the world... this will be his last tour.
"All he's agreed to are the London shows at this point."
He said AEG Live had a "broader relationship" with Jackson.
"We have a film development deal that's part of this to do a film, Thriller 3D," he said.
It would be a new film that could star Jackson himself, he said.
Asked how much Jackson could earn from the ventures, Mr Phillips replied: "If we complete the full three-and-a-half year plan, he could gross over $400m in that time. London could be north of $50m (£35m)."
The star made a five-minute appearance in front of hundreds of screaming fans on Thursday to announce the 10 London dates. I'll be performing the songs my fans want to hear - this is the final curtain callMichael Jackson
Is the King of Pop still a thriller?
His first words to fans were: "I love you so much.
"This will be it. When I say this is it, it really means this is it," he added.
"I'll be performing the songs my fans want to hear."
Jackson had been expected to appear at the 02 arena at 1600 GMT, but arrived an hour and a half late for the announcement.
The first concert at the 20,000-capacity venue will be on 8 July, with tickets costing between £50 and £75. They go on general sale on 13 March.
Jackson last toured 12 years ago. In 2006, he performed at the World Music Awards in London, but disappointed fans by singing just a few lines of We Are The World.

Michael Jackson: Child Molester or Pedophile?
― ilxor, Sunday, 8 March 2009 15:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Add on top of that the fact that in real life he's such a freakshow that punks and anarchists everywhere shuld curl up and die with envy, and there's really no question.
OTM. IMO GG Allin has got nothing on Michael Jackson. While obviously MJ is less of a freak than GG, dude went from being the most famous person in the world to a freaky looking creep and child molester, and has lost probably millions of fans as a result: it's not how low you go but how far you fall.
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 9 March 2009 02:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Good lord, who cares that MJ out-freaks an idiot like GG Allin? Is that supposed to be a compliment?
― thirdalternative, Monday, 9 March 2009 08:48 (fifteen years ago) link
While the court cases have definitely mattered and cause his downfall, they are not the main reason. I think a lot of people are able to say that, well, he seems kind of weird and maybe even creepy, but he was found innocent, and then he should be viewed as innocent.
His downfall has more to do with the constantly detoriating quality of his output. "Off The Wall", "Thriller" and even "Bad" were all fantastic. "Dangerous" and "HIStory" were not, but still quite good. But then, "Invincible" contained hardly anything of value at all.
I think what he would need now is to do an album with Quincy Jones again. Q has earlier showed the ability to get the best of him, and also to take influence from current music, but without losing sense of the typical Jackson style. If the music holds up, people (well, not all, but most) can forgive him for being creepy as long as he isn't proven creepy in an illegal way.

The BBC got approx. 9000 hits over the weekend for people typing in "bbc.co.uk/O_2" presumably in an effort to find out ticket information

Touring your old hits is always a secure way of getting income for somebody whose artistic prime was in the past. Just as Rolling Stones or AC/DC.
― Geir Hongro, Monday, 9 March 2009 13:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Agree with Geir. But I feel as if those first two MJ albums were mostly inspired by the (at the time) new drum machines and synths. I don't know how easily MJ could return to that sound.
Although, looking at shots of his home studio, it looks like MJ's got an eye for "old school"... I saw Distressors and an MPC-60. Chouette!
Regarding his creepiness. After watching that Bashir documentary, I found him to be far less creepy than expected. Considering that he's an extremely famous, vitiligo'd, surgery addicted, child-abused, multi-millionaire, gay dad and (chaste) pederast, he seemed kind of... normal? Like he'd be fun at a dinner party? Bashir, on the other hand, would have two glasses of wine and start talking about boning chicks.

pretty amazing how often the phrase child molester appeared in the thread despite the second case being thrown out, and the first never going to criminal court (and rumors flying that Jordan Chandler may come forward and say the allegations were false)....

Your post and this one are the only two times the words "child molester" are in this thread.

he mostly did that on his ballads, yea.....course God knows many of those weren't penned by him, and that's a device the Diane Warrens of the world live by. (not that he ever used her to my knowledge but that's besides the point)
