Yeah, but Michaels always had health problems and Madonnas generally health, however i'd probebly prefer Michael to adopt me.. ;)
Still, the guy was messed up, not his fault, but messed up all the same. It's incredibly sad, and he was truly an icon, but no comeback tour could get rid of the bad rep as a person that he had. And after it it would have been spectacular blaa blaa blaa and everyone would have gone back to taking the piss out of him and he would have reclused even more and then it would all just repeat itself.
He was, in his prime, the greatest. But, like elvis, fame got to him and he just wasnt the right mentality to put up with it.
Lets not forget, as we should remember with Jade Goody, that we all thought he was a freaky pedophile before his death. Maybe not people here because your more musically intelligent people, but the genral public did believe that. However now the guys dead all is forgiven and we, possibly rightly so, remember him for his fantastic music.
However, it is incredibly shocking. Im still in shock. You just dont expect it to happen. I woke up to it as well, my dad just ran upstairs and shook me awake at like 5 in the morning and he was like JACKOS DEAD. Not nice.
RIP MJ
