I think he is in trouble again.
True but his not in trouble again, he was just USED again.

After Michael's acquittal in 2005, he retreated to Bahrain to relax and to recover from the horrible ordeal he had to deal with. The King and the prince of Bahrain offered him in and gave him gifts. They made Michael sign certain things but Michael during the time thought the king was being kind out of the kindness of his heart especially since it was RIGHT after the trial. He wasn't focused on contracts, music or anything business. He just wanted to get his state of mind back on track Michael thought he was just being a supporter but he had a different agenda.

He wanted Michael to do concerts and he also wanted Michael to sign on his record label and record an album. He talked about this with Michael but nothing was finalised. The King of Bahrain and prince are/ were mad because they wanted Michael to do an album and concert.Michael came back over to the states and got back on track. His recording an album over here and not assocaited with them or record label. They were just using Michael for their own greed and fame. Sine he didn't get what he wanted he wants money? for what its? bulli****, his just mad.
So ONCE again Michael was used but the KING decided he wanted to settle, Michael was willing to fight it but the whole thing was joke to begin with.

Why do people say that? 20th century. He is still an influential music figure today and has been alot in this century. Just because his older material is more better and he hasn't really released any new material this century doesn't mean his not influential. Ask any artist today who they are inspired by... Michael Jackson.

He was doing those things well at least at the time it was suppose to be out of the kindness of his heart, no strings attached. Michael had JUST got off from the trial and retreated to Bahrain for those purposes. The King and Prince did those things on their OWN, Michael didnt ask for it and now they want money back, for what? It turns out they figured kissing his ass would give them more popularity and would eventually get them an album. They probably expected Michael to live there permenatly but it didn't work out that way. So they mad.
Their just mad because they wanted Michael to record an album on their record label. So there were trying to sue him to get the money and gifts they gave him, which were suppose to be gifts from the heart regardless if Michael did an album or not. That is some greed bull****.

So now your an expert on business deals AND a mind reader. You can't possibly know what went on. If it was as cut and dry as you say it is why did he settle out of court?

Oh Urban please sit down some where...

Refrain from trying to prove a point which isn't there. Expert, Mind reader who said that? YOU said that not me. I don't know what went on and what was exactly said but its factual evidence that Michael went over to Bahrain. During his stay the prince and his father showered him with gifts. It was also in talks that he was suppose to record an album on his record label BUT it never happened.

Now, Just because YOU are unware of information and I am doesn't mean I'm claiming to know everything because you obviously don't because the lawsuit been dropped.


He didn't settle, the PRINCE wanted to settle. Michael was willing and ready to fight it but he went ALONG with it. The whole thing was stupid anyway, I'm glad its over before it could even start.
