Talk:Michael Jackson/Archive 7

message: What this article does is basically, gives a fairly detailed overview of his history spanning a few decades, then jumps to the discography, with no discussion of Michael Jackson as an entertainer, or dancer, or his impact or anything like that. It only focuses on two things: (1) what albums he's released, how much they've sold, what awards he's won and (2) his controversies. It's written like: 
paragraph one: releases album 1, sells x million
paragraph two: does something controversial
paragraph three: releases album 2, sells x million
paragraph four: does something controversial etc.

replies: text: I would have to say I agree with you, however this is always going to happen with Jackson. Not only that, anything relating to him as an entertainer or dancer etc could be considered bias aswell. However, I must agree that there should be more relating to Jackson's career as an entertainer rather than his discography and the controversies. If only we could go back to the 1980's and write this article. Then things would be different. :: ehmjay 20:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The bias in this article 

message: The article should mention that the 2001 album's poor sales were attributed to it being generally considered thoroughly mediocre music, as well as the fact that it was Jackson's first fully new album in a decade.

thread_title: picture of jackson in public domain

message: People claim that:
*1. Jackson molested children (despite Jackson being aquitted)
*2. Jackson's children are not his (there is NO EVIDENCE of this; it is uncertain, not proven)
*3. Jackson is homosexual (one scrap of HARD EVIDENCE please???)
*4. Jackson has had more than three procedures (while this may be true, it is not confirmed; people cannot simply state as fact that Jackson has had more than three surgeries, unless there is EVIDENCE)
Please do not claim the above four points to be fact, because they are OPINION. If you do, the posts will be null and void. --138.130.216.79 10:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe Jackson is innocent. But I am a teenager with no social life, so I'm not a pedophile. The article cites allegations of abuse and does not state them as fact. For the other 3, I have not seen these in ther article. If you find an unsourced statement in the article, type  at the end of the line to show that evidence is needed.
As for the misguided contributor who believes that the dance one preforms determines sexual orientation, no. Jackson may or may not be homosexual; one cannot judge that from a dance routine.-- Chris Ccool2ax contrib. 05:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: that new image is not michael jackson, it's really obvious it's a photoshopped picture of a teenaged female.--88.105.97.10 23:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

this is an image from a video in the history era, perhaps a better choice than the cd cover?--88.105.96.67 23:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The article should mention that Jackson is facing a new trial for failing to settle his debts of $3.8 million with former associate F Marc Schaffel. Jury selection begins on 26th June and Jackson will testify through videotaped depositions. Also the introduction should be amended to say simply that his "controversial personal life" has been at the forefront of discussion for the past quarter of a century, not that his "successful music career" has as well. Jackson's real success ended after he paid Jordy Chandler $45 million in January 1994, and he hasn't releaseda  successful new album since "Dangerous" at the end of 1991 - 15 years ago.

message: You want up to date picture of Michael Jackson at the start? I found these two photos from tokyo, which are now in the public domain. please do not delete them for no reason, as has already been done once. --Paaerduag 06:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tokyo Pics 

message: That claim should be removed from the article because it is so obviously a lie. His skin couldn't have turned white so quickly (from the "Thriller" video in 1983 to the "Bad" album just four years later), and it's funny how all his brothers and sisters and his parents are normal.

:I don't see how you could even make this claim...if you actually look at the BAD era photos, he is still darker than he is now, while he may not be as dark as in the Thriller days there is still much more pigmentation. :: ehmjay 04:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
