1993 was forgotten by 2001, it was the Bashir interview that did the damage. Simply not doing that and nobody would care, and he'd also still be aliveYou cannot be serious??????!!being labelled a pedophile is the worst thing that could ever happen especially if they didnt do the crime !
They need to show how he was victimized and lynched by the false allegations, the humiliation he suffered is very important so people realize he was the victim and empathize with him.
there is nothing epic like Earth Song and TDCAU on Invincible, but HIStory is missing out on the more radio friendly songs like YRMW and Butterflies
I disagree completely, 1993 stuck with Michael for the rest of his life.
Nope. 1993 was the cloud that hung over Michael's legacy. It was the building block 2003 was built on. I think had he fought 1993 in court, there wouldn't have been people piggybacking on the claims to try and make a quick buck.
You Are Not Alone was a hit and They Don't Care About Us is his second most viewed video on YouTube.
Plenty of people have not and will never give any stock to these allegations.
Completely inaccurate, he never paid "hush money" he wanted to go to a criminal court and defend himself and made various motions to go into a criminal court before the civil trial which were denied, he would have been forced to defend himself in a civil court first before later having a criminal trial, he was investigated most of 1993, there was nothing found and then he settled out of the civil trial, there was still a potential criminal trial and the crooks who were lying about being "abused" refused to co-operate. The media spun this against him and made shit up like they always do regarding him
History sold less because of
Only 5 singles were released from HIStory first 18 months (Sony) appalling marketing of HIStory after the release You Are Not Alone (Sony) The Media review bombing it since they hated Michael and wanted him to fail Being slandered with claims of "antisemitism" after They Don't Care about Us Three of these were because of Sony, the other two reasons were because of the media.Invincible had no promotion or marketing, the 30th anniversary concert could have been the next Black or White, since it aired to nearly 50 million people just in the United States. Instead it wasn't covered anywhere, that obviously damaged sales. It sold 3 million in the first 6 days of release, with proper promotion, singles releases and music videos during it's first 2 months it would have sold at least 12-15 million by the end of the year without question |
But the fact is, shit sticks and so have these allegations and unfortunately he will always be associated with them.
He settled for money to put an end to the talking and to get rid of the case. Call it whatever you like.
His private home movies was what we wanted to see, he should have filmed a 3 hour version of that and released it instead of working with Bashir.
I'd rather call it what it is than what it isn't, but that's just me.
Yes! I can also imagine a movie compiled from more footage filmed with his friends, some famous, some not. Probably still highly possible, though the true friends are rightly very protective so it may not happen for a while if ever.
After the biopic we need to start a movement to get that aired again, he's already incredibly popular on social media right now.
Lets be honest, in a way you could argue a part was 'hush money'. The deal was stop the (civil case) and dont ever talk about it and get some money, even though MJ also has other reasons, his advisors said it was better to pay off and move on, which was the wrong decision.
But the problem is that, even till this day cause I see it everyday on social media, that a lot of people see it as 'hush money' and dont know the background. Luckily theres a great MJarmy on twitter replying with the facts.
Spot on, that's the point I was trying to make.
It literally stopped nothing, Chandler stopped them. He was just that much of a leech that the case evaporated because he got what he really wanted. All criminal proceedings could have carried on with nothing to dampen them. You don't seem to remember that distinction.
Nowadays I see people mentioning books MJ had in his library; that's their go to. As soon as he was accused, it was a death kneel in every way. These days, the accusations THEMSELVES are enough to stain someone forever. And they had been trying to call him that way before the 90s, they simply got it to stick with this.
Yeah, it was. But still he had overcome it. After HIStory he was somewhat on top again for a while. Only in the wake of the Invincible album it got a bit strange again, though there was no real need to temper with the image. But the Bashir shit just opened old wounds and threw us right back to 1993. Had he not paraded Arvizo around, nothing bad would have come of it. But to open the can of worms again and admitting that he shares a bed with children just was throwing down the gauntlet to everyone that wanted to bring him down.
If not for Bashir there would be no possible argument against him since there's numerous smoking guns during the investigation and a million holes in the case
We do not need to use intentionally negative phrases to describe the case when we already know what it was and what it wasn't. As already stated above it did nothing to stop any legal proceedings.
