I honestly don't think he had nearly as much work done, as others have insisted. At the time of his 1988 biography "Moonwalk", Michael admitted to having his nose done and a cleft added to his chin. While there's no denying his appearance noticeably changed over the years, there can be all sorts...

Yeah, but the "HIStory" album in general was definitely his most angry period. He was being constantly accused and attacked from all sides, and he didn't know what to do or who to trust...so he just channeled all of that frustration into his music. The one song that's probably the most infamous...

I'm a little conflicted over it. On one hand, I'm glad that he and Janet found something they both believed in, enough to record it together. But on the other hand, its probably one of his most brutal assaults against the press. I can't say I blame him - anybody in his situation would likely...

Very true...and in my opinion, Michael was often one of those truly rare lights we needed. Its hard to believe he's already been gone 15 years. I still miss him, and I feel for his kids.

There's actually a great book about the trial, written in 2006 by true-crime author Aphrodite Jones. The book's title is "Michael Jackson Conspiracy", but don't let that fool you. Mrs. Jones openly admits that during the trial, she persecuted Michael just like everyone else. But afterward, when...

You go through more than a decade of personal hell, with almost everyone around you insisting you're a pedophile...and let's see how you turn out. Frankly, I'm amazed that Michael survived that, even after he was vindicated.

Well, my situation is a bit complicated. In truth, my only relationship so far was not a Godly one, but I loved her with all my heart just the same. And the choices we both made left some extremely deep scars - when I hear some love songs, it just brings all those memories right back.

Michael had many issues, mostly because of how his father Joe treated him and his brothers. Michael said several times in his life, that he lived in genuine fear of his father. Additionally, being constantly hounded and persecuted by the press made him very paranoid, which put a strain on his...

Two things - Al's given name is Alfred, not Alvin. Second, he is not related to polka player Frankie Yankovic, though they did collaborate and were friends during Frankie's later years.

A stroke fairly recently, followed by a heart attack. And just 77, too - that's still young in this day and age. My prayers are definitely with his family.

I've heard that joke too, and its completely hilarious. Far too many women find themselves attracted to a man, and then wrongly think, "There's things about him I don't like, but that's okay - I can change him." News flash, ladies - you can't! We as men are usually very set in our ways...

In defense of my ex-girlfriend, she had both good and bad traits, just like I did. The best one was her eyes - they were a completely hypnotic color of sapphire blue. When I often looked her in the face, I was rendered completely speechless. And while I'd like to say it was just one thing that...

I was born in 1980, so the songs that first came out late in that decade, plus most hits from the first half of the 1990s, encompassed most of what I first listened to on the radio. Now, I've considered myself a hopeless romantic, for many years. I'm certainly no expert on the subject - I've...

I like Weird Al too, though I do feel somewhat sorry for him as well. He's had so many hits, across a career of more than 40 years. And yet, the two songs many people still know him for are "Eat It" and "Fat". I don't deny the quality or entertainment value of those, but Al has done so much...

You're free to your view, of course; I'm not debating that at all. I'll also admit my mistake, in assuming your opposition to Mr. Copeland regarded his ministry style (that seems to be many people's problem with him). I never said that Christians shouldn't be bold - in fact, I'm all for it. But...

If resurrecting this thread after so many years is against the rules, I apologize. I just looked up Michael's name with the Search function, and a lot of threads already existed...so it seemed fairly pointless to make another one. Anyway, I've been of his music since I was eight - he's one of...

This is actually fairly disputed, because Scripture isn't definitive about it. I found this short article, if you're interested. https://www.compellingtruth.org/Satan-music.html

I was raised very early on, to reject the things my elders deemed as being "of the world". They used the word "secular" all the time, to the point that I now usually despise that term...mainly because too many people (even the well-meaning) often pair it with the notion of such a thing favoring...

You and I will have to respectfully disagree about Mr. Copeland. I know he can sometimes get pretty bold, and has gotten some flack for it over the years, but that doesn't invalidate his faith. Jesus wasn't "lovey-dovey" all the time, either - He drew very clear lines in the sand. As followers...

I primarily grew up watching two preachers: Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis. Now, I'm just making this clear - I do not hate either one of them. They both obviously loved God tremendously, and wishing them any ill will is not in my heart. Having said that, I've become pretty detached...
