Michael Jackson Forums

Not to pick on anyone in particular but some things I have read, as well as a discussion with my friend, have lead me to question some things…

I’ve never really looked at Michael and thought that he looks out of it. But lately I hear quite a few people saying at ‘x-date’ he looked high on something etc… Before Michael’s… passing (still find that hard to say) I’ve never heard anyone online or offline saying he looked high, with the exception of ’93. I’m beginning to wonder whether people are over-analysing Michael’s behaviour in the past now, or whether I simply am not seeing things as I should because I love him and don’t want to accept it or whatever. One example: my best friend, who is also a fan, said that she thought Michael looked high at the TII press-conference, but I don’t see it at all. However, she never mentioned this before June 25th – only recently.

What are your thoughts?

To at least one person, the death of Michael Jackson was the top news story of the first decade of the 2000?s. I?m referring to an online survey sponsored by a local TV station in Detroit, asking people to vote for the top news story between 2000-2009. The TV station gave a list of suggested stories, even including the ouster of former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.


I don?t normally step out of my small business reporting world to comment on a general news story but this had me so enraged that I felt it was necessary to make a comment. It makes me look at our whole pop culture society and realize what is really important to some people means little to others, even if it has the greatest impact on their lives.


I ask the question: What has happened in the last decade that has had the greatest impact on my life? There are many answers including the recession and the election of President Obama. But far and away it was 9/11. On that day everyone?s lives in the United States changed forever. In a sense, we ?lost our virginity.? We realized that there was no place we could go that would provide safe sanctuary ? no place.


I imagine that many people began to think that their lives were more fragile than ever ? that they could die at any moment without any warning or provocation. It also made me think back to the cold war days of the 50s and 60s when people built bomb shelters in their backyards, fearing a nuclear attack from the Communists. It was only the false sense of security that went along with advanced radar capabilities, anti-missile defense systems, satellites, etc., that brought people out of the ?bomb shelter age.? Unfortunately our country became too lax, thinking that an attack on our soil would be preposterous. But terrorists with box cutters and a plan proved that wrong.


I didn?t mention the economic fallout from the attacks on 9/11. Our economy came to a virtual standstill and it took months and years to recover. Some may say that we have not recovered yet. And I wouldn?t disagree. Our commerce was affected and commodity prices took a hit too. Yes, we were hit in the wallet as well as in the psyche.


So to say that the death of a pop singer ? as tragic as it was ? had a greater impact on our lives as the number one story of the decade is beyond my comprehension. Yes, it was only one person in a local survey. But I?m sure there are many more who can?t look beyond their pop culture world into the real world.

We raised Michael to first place in the voting. But our rivals are catching up with us already, we need your help! Help, please.
Fans of Plasibo decided today to take first place and move to second, Michael. Please help us, we do not have enough people to vote. We are voting every night to keep Michael in the first position, but fans Plasibo very active. Their voices are growing two times faster than Michael.

Votes may be many times, give him as many votes.

You must click on the "Vote ..." ("Голосовать...") under the inscription " ?This Is It? Michael Jackson". Then he opens a window where you can enter the numbers from the picture (code). In order to vote again, you should click on the inscription Back to the list of the most popular clips "Вернуться к списку самых популярных клипов". And to do so again and again.

PS. The first time the window does not always work out the figures, and called inscription error, and the first vote does not count, but then you can 1000000000 times to vote.

Sory for my BAD english.
