then why do you see it as a PROBLEM?The problem I see here is healthy criticism is not attacking or bashing.
Do you really think Mike is not the reason behind some of his own misfortunes? :hysterical: The frivolous spending for which he was notorious? A billionaire's mindset with a millionaire's bank account. The bankruptcy speculations. The auctions. Selling property. Fans choosing the track listing for a greatest hits a few years back. All of that was to put money back into Mike's hands. Spending $70 million on a ranch? He knew he couldn't afford some of that stuff. Mike had accountants and financial planners that all advised against his spending because that's what they do. Who's fault is that? His own.
Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own actions. As fans, you can't keep pointing the finger because everything is not always everyone else's fault. And that's no hate, that's the truth. That goes for anyone in the world. Constantly pointing the finger at others will get you nowhere in life. It's about taking responsibility and owning up to your mishaps. That's life. It's human nature.
My God, I am literally in awe at how ****ing annoying vncwilliam is.

:agree:
It really make you wonder, was Janet's "You" REALLY about Mike and not herself.
:agree:
And it's not that he's annoying, it's clear from his posts that he's one of those fans who refuses to believe that some of the mishaps in Mike's career are his own fault. Pointing the finger at everyone else like Mike was a saint isn't going to get arguments far. To him Mike is the Messiah...Mike walked on water, delivered us from evil, and fed 5,000 people with 2 fishes and five loaves of bread. Mike has never done any wrong to anyone, and everything bad that happened in Mike's career is everyone else's fault.

Sorry, can you clarify? I don't understand that. :brow:
Sorry, can you clarify? I don't understand that. :brow:
i was waiting for the Jesus Christ comparisons. i saw that coming, though i didn't mention Him at all. it's amazing how u find it less of an effort to castigate Michael, than to uplift those who actually put wounds in the world, and not band aids.
Everyong thought it was about Mike, until Janet clarified that it wasn't.
The Jesus comparisons had already been drawn had you read the thread. In any event, regardless of whether you want to admit it or not, everything is not everyone else's fault. Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Mike is human. He made mistakes just like everyone else. Why is that so hard for you to accept? :mello:
I didn't understand it either, so I checked the lyrics out for the song "You" by Janet and well it reminded me of Jermaine's song about MJ "Word to the Badd".
I thought she had MJ's back.
It's things like this that make you cry really.
why is it so hard for u to uplift a light in the world, than to put it down?
Because I live under a light that sheds on reality. I accept that Mike is human and has made mistakes in his career. You however....:ermm:
Yup. We did it purely for LOVE. We had nothing else to gain except for his love back at us.Don't worry about it, girl.
I feel like at the end of the day, only us fans truly had Michael's back.
-_- Well I'm not a Janet fan.. so maybe that's why I didn't know...
Anyways...moving on.
The Jackson family drama is like a damn soap opera...
Because I live under a light that sheds on reality. I accept that Mike is human and has made mistakes in his career. You however....:ermm:
This is sooo OT but Same hereunk:. Sorry Ms. Ross :blush:MJJ7777
I love your siggy. I love the J5's version of 'I hear a symphony' more than the Supremes.
Okay, we get the point.
But don't you think that some of his family also made mistakes regarding Michael?
Yes, they were also responsible for their own mess!
i, however find it good, as opposed to evil, that a little boy got an organ transplant. that's that boy's REALITY. today. that's REALITY. to me. and considering that the example that you mentioned, was Michael's money habits, perhaps you should look in the mirror and really reflect on your definition of 'mistake'.
and MJ's career? no career is as good. so...ur idea of a mistake ridden career is way off.
Of course that goes without saying, and it works both ways. Some of you only like to focus on the negative.
Can any of you name 3 'good' things each family member has done for Mike...off the top of your heads? I doubt it.
we're not allowed to bash the Jacksons but don't bash Michael either saying he was a crazy lunatic who had no idea what the hell he was doing with his life that's tabloid trash mentality is that were you take your information from? some of you are more janet or jacksons fans and have that "michael did it to himself" mentality. don't you think the crap we get daily from the media and basically the outside world is more than enough?
@vncwilliam
it's no surpirse. everytime you defend Mike they automatically say you worship him or think he's God. it seems like these days you can't see the good in Mike without worshiping him. They'll twist and turn your words and put words in your mouth. it's pointless. We damn well know Mike is human and have made mistakes. But that's always going to be their excuse that "you can't see his mistakes".
:clapping:
amen.
I'm sure Janet herself has a her own Forum...
I'm a fan of MJ and non of the other Jackson. that's why i'm on this MICHAEL Jackson Forum.
why do I sometime feel like I'm on the damn wrong forum
then I look up... oh no... I'm on Michael Jackson forum.
why the heck do i need to defend him from these irrelevant and total BS on his own damn forum? i want to know an answer to that.
he loved his family. but i damn don't.
I don't have to love everyone he loves.

IKR. Gosh... But I love the Jacksons (some moreso than others, others I tolerate) and I still get angry at them sometimes. They're not perfect/victim other peeps make them out to be.
:sigh:
Well the reality is every artists makes mistakes in their career. It's part of growing and evolving. But it appears you seem to be incapable of accepting that reality.
Ditto. I love the Jackson family too, but sometimes they'll do stuff that makes you go "Whaaa?!" lol and that's including my dear MJ.IKR. Gosh... But I love the Jacksons (some moreso than others, others I tolerate) and I still get angry at them sometimes. They're not perfect/victim other peeps make them out to be.

nah not haters just insensative trouble makers.And on the flipside, many think you can't be respectfully critical in any aspect without being a hater, or you're trying to stir up trouble because you're coming on an MJ fanboard to spread negativity.
Both sides do it, instead of being able to simply discuss things without taking it personally.
And this is the exact mentality that some people have with MJ, and that too should be respected.
