This was made before the media and sharks started to tear Michael down. Nobody took into account that this man never lived a normal life. He tried to live a "normal" life, but it was impossible, especially as time went on. In the end he was truly a recluse who couldn't go anywhere without body guards, back doors and mobs. Remember, money does not buy happiness. His life is a perfect example. He had all the money that a person could want, yet he was still unhappy. RIP MJJ.

[@ericanicolebarton]

Yeah but he wanted to be a big star. All of that came along with it.

[@jkool20]

Michael Jackson was (and still is) so big that they had to make a tv special about how many fans he has.. I don't see that being done for many other artists. That's why Michael is and always will be the King Of Pop.

By 1984 Michael jackson was already considered the Greatest, at the age of 25. Let that sink in..

[@nomibe2911]

The guy who called him a con job is a jerk. Michael is in the Guinness book of records for giving the most charity and you can’t do that by being a con man.

[@NoOne-xe2qf]

1. Jackson donated $500 million to charity and died $400 million in debt. 2. In 2005 employees from Neverland Ranch filed complaints with the State of California against Jackson because Jackson did not pay his employees for four months. Jackson was fined because he let the insurance for the employees run out. 3. The State of California ordered Jackson to pay his employees, which he did. After he paid them he fired them.

[@amygrugan5001]

Thank you for posting this! I haven't seen it since it first aired!

[@Mad_Madalyn]

That dude saying MJ was a con man was some BS. People like that must have been jealous of him or something. It's like they couldn't fathom a young man could be such a talented, rich superstar, *and* a sweetheart at the same time. MJ was special and it wasn't an act, that guy's a real douche for suggesting otherwise when he doesn't even know him.

[@NicolesView1984]

Archangel Michael He's basically staying on code and saying, "This nigga is all hype and in due time he will be destroyed." That's white supremacy speaking nobody was supposed to be bigger or greater than their beloved Elvis in America.

[@salifbobbykoneii]

Nicole's View hit it right on the head ✔️📌

[@paulharding1972]

@@NicolesView1984 Yes exactly. It was around 1983/1984 that the tide started to turn for michael and he started to face a backlash against him from the media. There was a more cynical attitude towards him that there wasn't with the success from the Off The Wall Album. That guy who said Michael was a con job sounds bitter as hell. I feel that when Michael bought the rights to the Beatles songs that was a step too far for the rock music journalists. There was a sense of collective outrage. How dare he? Who is he to think he can own the rights to the "holy grail" of pop music. Of course Paul McCartney makes everything worse by doing the media rounds playing the victim making out like mj had stabbed him in the back. Just awful.

[@plentyofsalmonellasir425]

There were some fans whose's obsession with Michael surpassed the screaming or the passing out. I'm talking about the really obsessed fans who inspired the song Billie Jean, the ones who used to break into his house or accuse him of being the father of their children. I created a video on my channel specifically about this, check it out if you're interested. I hope you enjoy it.

[@Mad_Madalyn]

@jasonROXcarlySUX Michael was OBVIOUSLY sincere. If you can't understand that then you don't have any business being on a video like this. I *know* what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure you do. Michael's appeal doesn't only extend as far as him being an entertainer. It's about his personality; his humility, his sweetness and generosity. He wasn't faking it, and when people say he was they're usually haters or full of shit. Denouncing MJ as a PERSON matters to me and countless others.

[@sherill3369]

Michael was a visionary who could foresee the future in many instances. He probably was able to foresee that as his popularity grew there would be antagonism from some sources. I believe he worked extra hard to keep his image as clean as possible for that reason, but he was sincere in that, it was not a sham. Unfortunately, the more power he gathered, the more determined some people became to tear him down. And in the end I believe he was killed because of it.

[@dirratt]

@Famfriass Why put so much pressure on Beyonce? The whole music industry needs to be innovative. These young people today have NO Idea how huge MJ was and the impact he has made .This is due to the Wacko Jacko jokes they have grown up with for the past 20 yrs.
