Living With Michael Jackson – Take Two

Michael Jackson: The Footage You Were Never Meant To See

In 2003, Michael Jackson trusted Martin Bashir to create a documentary to counter the tabloid gossip that was damaging his image in the public’s eye.  Medialoid’s slander threatened to destroy him and undermine all he had accomplished, including his humanitarian efforts and his dedication to the suffering, disadvantaged children and their families around the world.  Michael was appalled by the way Bashir twisted his words. Bashir inserted his own opinions; opinions that were in many cases the exact opposite of what Michael said during the interview.

However, Michael’s own cameraman also videotaped the interviews that took place at Neverland Ranch and other locations during the time Bashir spent with Michael.  Michael presented a copy of the unedited interview to Maury Povich and asked him to view it for himself, without any input from Michael or his staff.  Povich agreed to make a rebuttal film so people could see what was said and draw their own conclusions.  This is the unedited 2003 interview of Michael Jackson.

    Having now seen this piece by Maury Povich, it is hard to believe that Bashir is still on TV and earning a living in journalism (not to mention Diane Dimond and other guilty parties). I’ve recently gone to abovetopsecret.com and read Mary Fischer’s GQ article that covers the Chandler case in its entirety. Fascinating and sickening in one fell swoop. The treatment of Michael Jackson through the years by the media so hell-bent on his destruction is a travesty beyond comprehension. To this day, many blogs and comments regarding this extraordinarily evolved, kind hearted human being refer to him as a child molester. It breaks my heart for him and for all of us. May shame come to those who refuse to do the research and continue to propagate such evil myths. Lastly, shame on me for not attempting to offer up a kind word of support for this man while he was living, as I believed he was innocent. It never occurred to me to even try. I am forever sorry for my silence.

    Тhe false buzz must be destroyed! ~Fans from Estonia

  3. Claretta Albert says:

    I would like to say that I enjoyed this very, very much. Being a Michael Jackson fan since I was 12, I knew that things that people were saying were not true. Michael was all about love. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. RIP Michael… You are not here in the flesh, but you are sure here in spirit.

  4. Claudia Viviana Castro says:

    What the media and the world did to Michael Jackson is unjust. The media have destroyed one of the best human beings who has ever lived in this world. I cannot understand why… Even greed and jealousy are not excuses. There is a limit for everything, even for evil, but what they did to Michael has no name. And we, his fans around the world, didn’t do anything better with our silence. This man faced everything alone. Realizing that now, I will never forgive myself. I didn’t judge MJ, and I never believed all the things the media said about him, but I was never there supporting him. As someone else has said, I will be forever sorry for my silence. Now he is gone. I can’t even imagine all the pain he suffered, and I have no words to express my gratitude for all that Michael did for us. Michael is with God now. We didn’t deserve him.

  5. Denise says:

    This documentary should be broadcast and published by all media — television, magazines, and newspapers — to show once and for all that Michael Jackson has been a victim at the hands of mean, uncaring people who spread lies about him. He was the most caring, gentle, and loving human being. Martin Bashir should be ASHAMED of himself for not telling the truth or showing the truth.

  6. Marianne Laurenson says:

    Thank you for supplying this video. I didn’t see it when it aired, and I’m sure a lot of people missed it. We destroy all that is good in this world, it seems. When you get a multidimensional, evolved person like Michael, the base evil ones will always attack and project their garbage onto one that really, they fear, because of his goodness. I agree with Claudia: we did not deserve him. But I will feel forever blessed when I listen to his music, hear his voice, or share his love with others that feel the same way about him as I do. I did support Michael and I would always argue with people who judged him without knowing the facts or knowing him. I think there were a lot of us out there, but what really kills me is the famous people who were able to be in touch with him that threw him under the bus and then showed up on all the news reports and at the memorials when he left this Earth. I love you, Michael, and I know that your energy and love will never die! Till we meet again, peace!

  7. Inge Dove says:

    Michael is a victim of the media. But we know how kind, sensitive, and unique Michael really was. Michael, I love you with all my heart! ~Inge

  8. Brigitte says:

    Michael was a victim of 40 years of business and human cruelty. It’s unbelievable what the media did to Michael. I am ashamed for all those responsible for his years of suffering. Michael, you are my inspiration…and I love you from the bottom of my heart! It’s all for love. L.O.V.E.

  9. Barbara says:

    I am forever sorry, too. I watched the Bashir documentary with my husband. We were both stunned at how Michael could have ever trusted that man. He twisted and turned everything. I found these videos after Michael’s death. It was also then that I realized the role Bashir had played in destroying the finest, purest man; the most beautiful human spirit. I am still devastated by his death. I feel incredibly sorry for his children.

  10. Livvi says:

    That “documentary” was nothing short of a mockery for sure. The discussions of Michael’s music were no more than two minutes…then it was straight into his private life. Why Bashir still has a career is beyond me. All of media have also done a very good job at trying to destroy Michael. But we all know the truth, and it will prevail one day! Rest in peace, Michael… Thank you for the joy!

  11. Dan says:

    Martin Bashir is a filthy animal.

  12. LJ says:

    The media do not report facts at all! They have deeply hurt this good and honest person. The truth must be shared. Martin Bashir is a bad egg. MJ lives in our hearts forever! I believe that all persons are alive as long as they are loved. The whole world loves MJ. Michael Jackson will be forever alive! We cannot let the vicious media treat him like this again.

  13. Ivo Maropo says:

    Michael Jackson was a man too good for this greedy, cynical world, where professional success comes first before everything. He was the right person in the wrong time. Michael Jackson was our modern day Jesus: though he was human, he suffered similar injustice. He was defamed; his name was made trash. He was humiliated; his name was disgraced. His life was lied about; his acts were seen as those of an insane man. Worst of all, his true love for children, their innocence, brilliance, and non-judgmental nature were disregarded by the corrupt, destroyed from sequences of greedy allegations, one after another. He was also the first real, strong contact I had with music (at the age of four or five — I’m 27 now). Since then, I’ve always been a supporter of not just his music, dance, and singing, but his BEING. Michael was an innocent sheep in a time of hungry wolves. Quite simply, he was the best person in the absolute worst of times. God bless you, Mike. I will NEVER, EVER forget you.

  14. Angelica says:

    I really enjoyed this documentary and it makes me feel good to know that the public has this available to them so that they can see the horror, untruth, and bias behind Bashir’s documentary. I truly and honestly respect Michael, and I love him. He was a caring man who only wanted the world to be a better place. I will continue to love him and pass on his legacy. I believe that though he is not physically with us anymore, he is with us in spirit and nobody can take that away from us fans. Through this, Michael will live on forever. Beat that tabloids. You might have been able to hurt Michael while he was alive, but let me ask you something: What power does a bunch of made up stories have against millions of voices speaking the truth? What you’ve done to him has only strengthened our will to protect Michael. You can’t win this fight. Michael, I’ll never forget the impact you had on my life and how deeply you’ve inspired me. I love and miss you so much! Forever an MJ Fan…

  15. Morgan says:

    Why don’t they put this on real TV?

  16. Taaj Malik says:

    OMG… I am from the UK; what we saw over there was nothing like this. You guys already know the lies we were fed there. This is so distressing that a human being can do this to another human being. I am beside myself; how can Bashir live with himself?! This website is amazing… I applaud you. I have contacted many of the group creators in favour of Michael on facebook; some of them with members in excess of 5000. I have requested they message all their hundreds of members with a link to this site. This site is going to grow; the members here will grow into thousands. I will do whatever I can; all my spare time I am committing to this site. Anyone who is reading this please do the same. BASHIR HAS TO GO. Please direct everyone to this site and join! LOVE, TAAJ

  17. hatshepsut says:

    Dear Fans ~ For sure one day Bashir will pay the price for twisting the truth so just wait until God makes him pay for it. We know MJ was an angel on earth and we will keep him in our hearts. So, enjoy his amazing talent, creativity, music, love for humans, animals, etc. Rest in peace. With love, Hatshepsut

  18. Pauline says:

    This presentation of the real truth should be shown to the world. How Bashir has the legal right to cut and paste such an honest interview into what he felt would bring in more money and possibly be more interesting to the world instead of the honest truth. How can he be so cruel as to look into Michael’s eyes and tell him this will be a honest tell all interview. Why people are allowed to do this to a icon figure in any capacity is beyond me. But then again if you read the Bible I believe Jesus too was condemned for his innocence. Let us unite and be a voice for Michael and give Bashir what he deserves. On a positive note, what goes around will come around and this just might happen to him someday.

  19. rhoda says:

    Michael we really love u!!! Now, Bashir are you happy??? You are an evil that comes from hell!!!
    You ruined the life of a good man…disgusting bashir!!! Nowdays, the media is the most dishonest thing on earth!
    Mike, you are now in the arms of our LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN!!! I LOVE YOU

  20. Ashley says:

    omg I cried during this video! I can’t even imagine people believing Michael would ever do anything. Martin Bashir should be banned forever from interviewing and everything. He destroyed Michael. All Michael wanted to do was love and spread love to everyone in this world. He was weird only because he tried to help people because he knew what we were missing. We think being normal is shootings and violence and hatered. But in reality we are the weird ones. He was trying to share a message through everything he did. He was an incredible human, father, artist, preformer, and overall the best man that has been on this earth! Michael was so sweet. He was pure and honest and loving. He was a kid at heart. That’s beautiful I think. I wish everybody could see what he saw. I may only be 19 but I know what I’m talking about. I care for lots of things, I understand him in every word he says, I cry at night because it hurts; we lost Michael Jackson not only the superstar, but the human person he was. i luv u !

  21. BG says:

    The deliberate distortion of the truth by Bashir regarding Michael was tabloid journalism at it’s worst. I also understand it was Bashir who requested Gavin Arvizo come back to Neverland for the filming. So Bashir started the ball rolling on that whole chain of events as well. Bashir also appeared at the subsequent trial but refused to answer questions and cowardly hid behind his ‘journalistic’ curtain. Bashir is a thoroughly despicable, dishonest character who should not still be earning a living with any media organization that has any sense of integrity. I cannot believe he had the guts to speak about Michael after 25 June and I have no doubt Bashir contributed to what happened on that day.

  22. mjcarmen58 says:

    I can understand only that it’s envy that some people have toward those who are much loved, and has succeeded with his work and genius to be famous. Always went against Michael just for the money because he did sell their newspapers. Persecuted unjustly. Sorry my English. I am Italian.

  23. Antoinette A-Akhibi says:

    We live in a desperately wicked world. Micheal should have had a bit of anger in him to deal with all the enemies of progress we have in the world. Did his “real” freinds rally round to speak out? Very sad indeed when I see the animals in human skin who tear people down. Animals do not stoop low to do the things some of we humans do.

  24. Ann says:

    I was so amazed when I saw this video. I was furious with these medias that point the faults straight at him! They just told lies and bring some negative things to shame on him! For Michael’s sake I really want to stop these things. I had known already that Michael has a loving, caring heart. He is not only the King of Pop but a great father, an honest friend and as our Chinese says, a Big Children. He has been building Neverland for Children and not for him. He is like a hero! Don’t ever listen to anyone’s lies. And Michael Jackson, I love you. Rest in Peace. R.I.P Mike

  25. Jacqueline Minarick says:

    Many of Michael’s so-called friends came out, after his death, looking for redemption for not speaking out against the mistreatment of Michael during his life. I will not redeem one person, ever, because I see the mistreatment of Michael as the mistreatment of me. I am loyal. They were not. It will be and should be on their conscience for their lifetime. I will praise Michael everyday, for the rest of my life. I wish I had the opportunity to know Michael personally but God didn’t lead me to his path. I accept that. I consider Michael a friend even though we never met. No matter what justice prevails in the future, there will never be true justice for me as long as Michael is gone from the earth. I have given this worry over to God because there are some cares that only God can resolve. I take consolation in the hope of joining Michael in heaven one day, with the souls of those of us who know what true love is. Michael said, “Lies run sprints, the truth runs marathons.”

  26. AMELIA OLIVEIRA says:

    I agree totally with Jacqueline. Sometimes my problem to tell what I think is that English is not my first language. But the most important is our love for Michael. HE IS THE TRUTH. LOVE YOU FOREVER.

  27. Raidah says:

    God bless him, I just wish everybody would have appreciated him like this when he was alive. He gave us such beautiful music that inspired the world and what did we give him back when he was alive, hmm… not much. I know he’s in a better place now and when he’s looking down I hope he’s smiling because of the fans, because we love him so much and because we know the truth. He’s such an inspiration and he is such a loving person. I honestly wish I could have met him in my life and I wish I could’ve been there to support him throughout his life, but God didn’t give me that chance. I don’t mind that, but I wish there could’ve been someone out there for him in his life. Long live MJ.

  28. grammy3 says:

    Martin Bashir is the scum of the earth. He knew what he was doing from the beginning. He had a journey to take and it was to tear down Michael and make him look like him, trash. He doesn’t have compassion nor was he objective. No wonder Michael never wanted to grant interviews to the media and I could not blame him. Michael was a sweet, senitive and intelligent individual. Why the media thought to crucify him was something I never understood. They didn’t know him or try to know him. It was fun for them to trash him and what he tried to do in life. The audacity of them to defame his name because he didn’t do things to their specifications. He wasn’t one of them and never would be. He deserved a life of peace and serenity just like the rest of the population. Because he was the consummate entertainer, they took pot shots at him and judged his every move. I hope they can sleep at night. Bashir is a…

  29. Judy Morris says:

    Martin Bashir in my eyes is a sorry excuse for a human being. Michaels words were twisted to suit Bashir. To date I wonder how he can live with himself, and have the audacity to call what he did journalism. Michael Jackson was a bea And I utiful human being, who spent his whole life giving. He suffered the cruelty of the media, and through it all held his head up high; even when he was on trial for his life. I read The Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones. The whole trial was just another way of trying to bring Michael Jackson down. The press knew what they were doing, and they all had plans of making more money if Michael had gone to prison. It’s all about ratings, not about a human whose life was being decimated by them. That case should have never gone to court in the first place. They were initially going to throw it out. It was Tom Sneddon who had a personal vendetta against Jackson, it was his insistence that the trial proceed, even though the evidence just wasn’t…

  30. seenitall says:

    My 23 year old son, who discovered Michael Jackson at the age of 8, thinks I’m obsessed with MJ. It’s not so much that – I grew up with MJ and always enjoyed, admired and respected him – I’m actually obsessed with what was done to him. The J5 broke out their first single when I was a teen, so the trials and tribulations of Michael Jackson have occurred during my adulthood. I have witnessed the progression of his stardom and the fate it brought to him.

    Since his passing, I have researched and done my own investigations, remembering full well through the decades, the creeping stigmas attached to this man, one at a time, starting at the pinnacle of his successes in the 80’s to this very day. I, too, have read Aphrodite Jone’s ‘Conspiracy’ and am now so outraged that I can hardly contain myself. Are we so primative in our thinking that we will just accept that our sources of ‘news’ have delapidated to the level of pond scum? ABC still has Bashir on air and it infuriates me.

  31. Elizabeth cawobeth says:

    So many people are targeting Martin Bashir and find him responsible. I see his employer as more responsible, simply because they either wanted him to do it; as he acted under their employment, or ABC condones what he did as an employee. THIS MUST BE FOLLOWED-UP with more than a petition to have him fired. I don’t think that will fly, simply because ABC is responsible for SO MUCH PERVERSE SENSATIONALISM about Michael. There must be a way to address this with more than a petition. And what of the great PBS? I have seen NO specials on Michael by our trusted public television. They are supposedly so open-minded? Why? $$$ speaks for them too? I contacted President there. Nothing. I’ll try to contact Tavis Smiley again. Any more suggestions?

  32. MJlover#1 says:

    I am only 10 but in love with Michael Jackson. I feel that he was the loneliest man on earth. As he said himself his childhood was ripped away from him. I just wanted to share a site I am on called Michaeljackson.com. If you want to contact me make an acount and send me mail. My username is Mjlover001.

  33. Arden says:

    I am a 21 year old female who has loved michael jackson since pre-school. I have always loved his music, but it wasn’t until his death how much I realized how much I truly loved him. I never met him personally but I could not help but feel some kind of connection to him that I could not explain but it was there. Months before he died I had a feeling he was going to die. I know it sounds strange but something told me he was not going to be around much longer. When it finally happened I did not want to believe it and in some ways I am still having a hard time dealing with his death. I cried weeks after the memorial for him and when I learned about what happened during his career all the lies that were told about him I became angry sometimes but sadly that’s our world. The lie that he did not want to be black was a crock; I, as a black person myself, did not and will not believe that. I always knew he was a proud brother who had love for all people of the world.

  34. seenitall says:

    Reflecting on the year’s end and reading comments on this site, one thing is crystal clear: there is a united front concerning Michael Jackson, which he created. Commenters range from ages 10-seniors, who are multi-racial and multi-cultural. All have been touched by this one being, just as he wished to do in his lifetime. He spoke to us all in his songs – his lyrics revealed facets of his life in the only ’safe’ way he could – he shared his innermost feelings, experiences, and wisdom through his music knowing it was the only way to expose his soul, without having his words bent, altered, or taken out of context. I am as haunted today by ‘Stranger in Moscow’ as I was when it was released.

    Steps MUST be taken against ‘journalistic annihilation’ of any artists, or a day will come when no one will want to become the best they can be. Who would want to become a target in return for their dedication to their craft and devotion to their cause? We simply must support a change to ensure heavy consequences for falsehoods and misrepresentations by the ‘media’.

    It takes courage, determination, and much hard work to become a truly gifted celebrity, a star, an icon. It is a testament of sheer will that Michael Jackson still had so much to offer, after all that he had been subjected to. I honor him for that and his stubborn belief in humanity. He reminds me of a Japanese proverb “Fall seven times, stand up eight”. May his message remain with us always.

  35. MJlover#1 says:

    Poor Michael should never have agreed to work with that idiot Martin Bashir. If only he could have seen what was coming. After watching that it makes you want to hunt Bashir down. I really feel sorry for him and everyone else around him who had to suffer because of Bashir. And I believe that just because he was different he and nobody else who is human should be treated that way.

  36. Carm says:

    I have a lot in common with seenitall. Like her, I grew up with Michael Jackson and have always empathized with him. I followed the trial and the first false accusation story in ‘93. I more or less forgot about him but since he died I have been obsessed. I read three books, the last being Aphrodite Jones’ “Michael Jackson Conspiracy”. I have done hours of internet searches and like seenitall I am outraged. The thing that interests me the most is how the media portrays MJ. From what I have read he was not responsible for most of the unfortunate events in his life. The public is lead to believe that due to irresponsible behaviour on his part he brought about his own “demise.” They never mention the list of characters (vultures?) involved in sullying his reputation for their own personal gain. I would love to see articles in newspapers condemning Bashir, Diane Dimond, Maureen Orth, etc. Instead we are constantly subjected to comments implying questionable moral character on the part of MJ. Makes me want to puke.

  37. susan says:

    A common thread seems to be the many who always liked/loved Michael but only felt their feelings re-surface after he passed. I, too am guilty of this. I loved him since the J5 days and throughout the 80’s. When the allegations first came out, I felt in my heart he was innocent, just based on who he was as a person. I never, ever believed he was even capable of what they accused him of. I also am in the process of reading Aphrodite Jones’ MJ Conspiracy, but am having a hard time getting through it, as I keep breaking into tears. What he had to deal with, well, I simply don’t know what to say. Honestly, can anyone imagine being falsely accused on the world stage, being ridiculed, humiliated, scorned, laughed at the way Michael was? I don’t think it is heresy to compare his tribulations to that of Jesus. I cannot think of any other person in the world who had to deal with what he did. People like Bashir, Dimond, Orth, Nancy Grace, Jay Leno, Joy Behar, Sneddon, Arvizos, Chandlers, Diane Sawyer (incidentally who’s husband Mike Nichols supports Roman Polanski), I hope someone in your family gets falsely accused and see how you handle it! Please forgive us all, Michael, we did not deserve you.

  38. Billie Jean says:

    Also in Germany Take Two was aired shortly after Mr. B’s “documentary.” Reactions and the publicity were definitely better than in USA, I remember well. I think, MJ’s image was always better in Europe than in the States, and the press, even the tabloids treated him with more respect. Anyway, we have to do a hard work in the fight for the truth. Unfortunately it is too late for Michael.

  39. seenitall says:

    It pains me that MJ honored the United States of America (the land of the free?) by acting as a goodwill ambassador to our troubled world. This he willingly did with his own time and money. He already had worldwide adulation, so that could not have been his motivation. I think it’s true to say that America, which he seemed to hold in such high regard, became his worst antagonist (perhaps followed by the Brits). Why was this so? Apart from fans, the ferocity with which the seeming majority continued their unrelenting condemnation of a home-grown son is baffling. I am ashamed that our nation on the whole tormented and alienated this man on a world stage, then audaciously archived ‘Thriller’ as a national treasure. The same nation that spent taxpayers’ dollars involving the FBI to investigate (without evidence) a pop star, himself a tax-paying citizen? My God, who are we?

    Our cookie cutter society couldn’t handle anyone being so different, so shy, so talented, so wealthy, so private, and so generous. If we cannot find fault in someone, it is created and then peddled as salacious truth, which–oh yeah–just happens to make lots of money for the unscrupulous. But hey, they’re journalists so it must be true, right? Tom Mesereau seems to be one of the very few ethical people in Michael Jackson’s recent history and I applaud him. I read his article ‘Defending Michael’ on his website, written after Michael’s passing and it moved me to tears. It’s heartbreaking…

  40. Billie Jean says:

    @seenitall: Thank you for your clear words. You’ve found the words for what my heart is burdened. I have nothing more to add.

  41. Katherine Hwang says:

    Hi! everybody! Thank you for your beautiful comments in here. I have read all your comments, your comment are all incredible and really amazing. Can we think that this site is amazing,” Yes!” it is, it is REALLY AMAZING. I would like to say thanks to the webmaster who is build up this website to help to protect our King of pop Michael Jackson and I am SO PROUD of all of you who can still be here and unite to love and support Michael. Look, the new year is come up, we all should support Michael more strongly. I DON’T REALLY CARE what the news and press says about Michael. They are stupid and they even don’t understand anything about Michael. Some of you say it right, the media always wants to make money by bringing someone down and not respecting the artist and celebrity. That is really evil and that is NOT immoral, we all have to take the action and doing something about it!

    When I heard what Bashir says, that Neverland is a dangerous place to go for the child, it makes me feel hurt and angry, it makes me almost want to cry. How come this man is so evil, destroying Michael’s humanity? I really regret this. If Bashir didn’t like him, why did he have to interview Michael and interupt his privacy? The life of Michael Jackson is NOT his bussiness. He betrayed Michael’s trust. I CAN NOT EVEN understand why he want to do these things and bring someone else down, I am really sorry about theseis things!

  42. niftyrosa1 says:

    Bashir will get what’s coming to him eventually and it will be 10-fold when it does. What I want to know is, why Dr. Conrad Murray has been allowed to go back into practice and why hasn’t he been charged with murder?? Something is wrong with this picture.

  43. DRB says:

    After watching this I’ve developed greater respect for the beautiful person that MJ was. The world was a kinder place because of him. May we all learn from his example. May his life inspire us to be better and to love better.

  44. MICHAEL IS ALIVE says:

    June 25th, 2009: Is the day my life was changed forever. As dramatic as it may sound, it was 10x more dramatic to feel and live to this day. I come on the internet to search for solace, comfort, some redeeming evidence out there that I’m not the ONLY ONE like this. I listen to Michael everyday. Yes, EVERYDAY. I cry almost every day. Sometimes because I’m so happy, to hear him still in his music, to watch him in his videos, to listen to him in his interviews, other days it’s because my heart cannot understand the immense pain that I feel. I would like to mention that I’ve lost people very close to me throughout life, but no one, not even my grandmother (whom I was dearly close to), compares to the emptiness I feel about him. When I fell in love with Michael at the age of 3 or 4, is when I fell in love with MUSIC. Never has an ARTIST, ENTERTAINER, performed so brilliantly for the world to see.

    “I won’t sing what I don’t believe.”- Michael Jackson

    It’s true. For nearly 45 years, and countless records, he SANG like an angel, sometimes it was rock, sometimes rap, pop, jazz, metal. Sometimes it was sad, poignant, uplifting, heartbreaking or sexy. But it was always HONEST. True, real, UNTAINTED. The sound of an Angel. I cry as I type this, because I really do believe that Michael is our modern day “Jesus.” No, I’m not a fanatic or some looney toon, I fully understand that he is a man, who has faults, as we all do.

  45. Nina Hamilton says:

    I have read the responses so far and watched the videos, all which I find extremely powerful and moving. I strongly agree with everyone’s views and emotions. When I watched a fabulous-looking Michael say “See you in July” after announcing the O2 concerts, I, too, sadly, had a strange premonition and sad doubts. When I heard he died, I fell apart. I bought posters, cds, dvds, magazines, books. I saw “This Is It” and his memorabilia exhibition in London. I, too, hope strong action can be taken against media journalists like Martin Bashir who dished the dirt, empowered by a tidal wave of opinion. I defend MJ vigorously to everyone, am sending money to save sick or needy children, and the rain forests. I have emailed someone who writes on Michael Jackson’s Official Website’s Memories Page and told her about this site, the videos and commentary in support of his innocence and the truth about him and his life. So far nearly 598,000 memories have been posted and I have read many of them – and such beautiful poems, you wouldn’t believe, with tears in my eyes. Now we learn that Conrad Murray may be tried for involuntary manslaughter to add to the pain. New facts also add insult to injury; that the Propofol injection was unnecessary, negligent; even if Michael had asked for it, he should have said ‘No’, as his doctor, who was supposed to be caring for him. We shall have to see what happens. I kept thinking ‘Oh, Michael…

    @MICHAEL IS ALIVE, Thank you very much for your comment, I couldn’t agree more with it myself. I believe exactly what you said and agree 100%. It’s assuring to know I’m not the only one that feels this way, then again.. don’t we all.

    Bashir was there to ruin Michael, not too reveal the truth. Michael trusted him, opened his “world” allowed full access for Bashir and his crew. But Bashir used that advantage and started to ruin Michael. He is an artist; artists think differently than others – which people don’t understand. Michael was a humanitarian, not a “wacko”. And after seeing this I don’t understand why this idiot Bashir is still employed. They should fire that idiot and he should never be allowed to give interviews.

    Now that Michael is no longer in this world Bashir and all those other tabloid “journalists” who ruined him feel sorry.

    My last words are that the tabloids should leave Michael alone. It’s his own personal life and it’s no one else’s concern.

    I love Michael. I’m his biggest fan. I wish the world could see this because they would see him in a different light. They would see him as I do; a sweet, kind, lovely man without a bad bone in his body, and a brilliant dad and friend. God bless Michael and may he R.I.P, The true King of Pop. xox

    Martin Bashir should be fired from ABC. I don’t know why ABC hired that fool but aparently they wanted him. I wonder how life is for that b…… out on the street knowing that he ruined Michael’s life with that outrageous mockumentary. I can only hope that Michael is at peace now.
