Ugh... This topic irritates me, but I wanna know what the MJ community thinks about this. When I say MJ was robbed I don't mean the normal type of robbery, but instead he was robbed of his career and legacy. My sister and I were discussing this the other day, and it makes me so sad because his career could've been much bigger and legendary than it is now IF the child molestation accusations were never a thing. Do I believe he is innocent? OF COURSE! but it's hard to ignore the side effects of a simple lie. Just to put into perspective what would've been different in his life if it didn't happen:
• His legacy and career would be untainted IMO The Beatles and Elvis get way more respect than MJ and it's likely because of this. As I feel MJ has had an impact nearly as great.
• he would've released more albums
Not sure how many more, but this is something I'm sure every fan can agree on.
• He would have far less haters ( people did make fun of him because of his looks, but the accusations is the MAIN reason people hate him.
• He could've potentially become the highest selling artist of all time. I know it sounds rediculous, but hear me out. The majority of sources claim MJ had about 750m album sales total, right? The child molestation charges had a HUGE impact on his sales and from 1995 - 2017 he would've released a lot more albums. HIStory sold about 20m if I remember correctly, but I can only imagine how much it would've sold if it weren't for the charges. (Same with BOTDF and Invincible.)
• He potentially could've had the most No. 1 singles of all time. Songs like TDCAU, Earth Song, Scream, and YRMW all had potential to be No.1 singles IMO. Not to mention the singles he would've later released throughout the 2000's.
And of course...
• HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE
Ugh. This one makes me unbelievably sad. While he was taking painkillers because of the Pepsi accident in 1984, the drugs use went out of control when he got hit with those accusations. From then on the drug use was far worse than it was before which is ultimately what lead to his death. Imagine for ONE second being the most popular and loved person on the planet to being known as the world most famous pedophile. Not the mention the countless MJ paedophile jokes you see in the media and on TV TIL THIS DAY (I actually saw one a few weeks ago). He was strong as hell to not have committed suicide, because to be honest I probably would've. That's a pretty shitty transition over a ****ing lie with 0 EVIDENCE.
His impact and legacy would've been far greater than it is today... I know this post is sad but it has been on my mind for awhile, so I just wanted to share it with you guys. Thoughts?
