A must see!
Guitarist ROCKS.

He had a message to share.

We all make mistakes and hope to be forgiven.
Forgive Michael and remember him for what he was;
A true talent and entertainer.

Rest in Peace.

I would never defend anyone who molested a child. He was acquitted, I believe. (I know, so was OJ)
He could have been the victim based on what people are doing to get money. e.g., John Travolta and David Letterman.
Drugs may have clouded his judgement, but seeing the movie made me believe that he was basically a kind and gentle soul.
Like most of us, I do not believe that he would intentionally hurt or take advantage of anyone.
It's tough being a celeb, under close scrutiny, where every action can be magnified and spun to someone's benefit or detriment.
Did not post to be controversial.

Just wanted to say that the cast and crew worked hard and the editors did wonders putting it all together in this movie.
It's a shame that they were never able to perform live.

Peace.

I must have missed it. Other than conjecture, hearsay and inferences, what prima facie evidence is there that MJ inappropriately touched a child? Was he convicted as a pedafile in a US Court of law? I know he paid money to settle a civil suit but that is not an admission of wrongdoing. In fact the settlement agreement specifically states that there is no admission of wrongdoing. People settle lawsuits for many reasons. Settling is not tantamount to admitting wrongdoing.

I never followed MJ much so it is possible I missed something.

I agree. He was not convicted. BUT.... its all the evidence that came out in the trial; Drinking alcohol with four little boys on a private jet from Paris to LA.; Sleeping in the bed with two naked boys; Massaging a 12 year old boy in the crouch and tummy. All this by a 42 year old man. Not guilt but crippy.
