I doubt very much that he'd have recorded much more music, if any.

Yeah he was burnt out, he needed some serious detox and therapy. I heard even he was battling with the notion that his best was behind him and all the plastic surgery and drugs was his way of dealing with that. I guess if his music couldn't make him less average then changing his appearance was a quick fix for not being average.

Even assuming the disease thing is true the fact that he chose to wear light skin-tone makeup rather than a color that matched his actual skin tone is still pretty weird.

MJ was in some serious denial about his appearance. He told Martin Bashire he only had surgery twice and his skin color, lips and jaw line naturally occurred from the aging process. This is a good example as to why it was hard to believe what came out of his mouth in reference to the child molestation charges. Why not just own up to the obvious? "yeah, I changed my skin, nose, lips and jaw because I have some family issues and wanted to escape my heritage". The world would have more respect for that and be forgiving. Also, Al Sharpton and Spike Lee need to shut the **** up, Jackson tried to not be black and did very little for the black community, he even claimed to produce white kids with blond hair, how is this not seen as an insult in the black community is beyond me. Their icon tried to escape being black... what a bunch of opportunistic **** suckers.

I'm very disappointed that Michael didn't just say f*ck it and leave his entire estate to Bubbles.

Always remember, if not for Joe Jackson this thread wouldn't be here. As much of a **** of a father he was/is, Michael always tried to gain his approval and Michael was who he was because of Joe. Perhaps that is more of a curse then a blessing, but all the money is because of Joe pushing him and his brothers so hard. I think the kids falling into the hands of Joe will be kinda sad since Michael had issues with the way he was disciplined but I doubt Joe would do anything remotely close to what he did to Michael since A) it was his own kid and his meal ticket and B) he's 80 years old.
