That moment when Michael Jackson freaks your shit.

A lot of people seem to be having trouble with the real names of Michael’s kids. Here’s their birth certificates taken from the trial when they were interviewed. Hopefully, this clears up some of the confusion for you.

26/08/97 Michael Jackson’s HIStory tour takes place in Helsinki, Finland. 91,000 of the 96,000 tickets sell and grossed over 4.1 million.

August 31, 1987: Michael Jackson released his seventh studio album, BAD.

Shortly after it’s release Bad started its six-week run on top the US album chart in that small time it managed to achieve five No. 1 singles. The singles that reached the top were “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Man in the Mirror” and “Dirty Diana.” No other artist had been able to beat that level of success until Katy Perry matched his record in 2010 with her album Teenage Dream.

Michael Jackson was nominated for six Grammy Awards after the release of Bad, “Album of the Year”, “Best Pop Vocal Performance – Male” and “Best R&B Vocal Performance – Male” as well as “Record of the Year” for “Man in the Mirror” that following year. In the end Bad won Grammy’s for “Best Engineered Recording” and “Best Music Video Short Form” for “Leave Me Alone” in 1990. 

(Leave Me Alone wasn’t included in the original release of BAD, but was later released on the CD version then LP.)

And during all this time BAD World tour ended up breaking world records. 

One for a record-setting revenue of over $124 million made during the tour.

The other for most successful concert series which sold out seven nights at Wembley Stadium in London in1988 with a total of 504,000 fans attending the shows.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Bad nine time platinum for having shipped nine million copies in the United States alone. Internationally, Bad was commercially successful. In the United Kingdom the album sold 500,000 copies in its first five days of release, and as of 2008 is certified 13× platinum, for sales of 3.9 million, making it Michael’s second biggest-selling album in the United Kingdom.

Happy 28th Birthday BAD…..~

November 20th 2003, Michael Jackson is escorted to the Sheriff’s building. This is where and when that famous mugshot is taken. However, i believe that the mugshot was edited by the Sheriff's County to make him look more freakish and weird. I know lighten and different cameras make all the difference but still, The version of MJ that enters and leaves that building isn’t the same version of MJ shown on that mugshot. 

Seven years ago today we lost the biggest artist the world had ever seen. Michael Jackson was one of those rare original artist’s that appreciated the legends before him and showed that in his work. Michael didn’t steal from other dancers or musicians. Instead, he watched what they did and how they did it. He then took those moves into his own hands and turned them into something new and unique.

Michael soon went on to break records set by his predecessors and smashed them to pieces. He was always respectful to other artists even when they hated on him. Overnight Michael became a “freak” because he was a success, But somehow he always found a way to smile and find the good things in life. He was a very rare person and musician. It’s only a shame after the 2000′s and the release of Invincible he became so quiet due to problems with Sony and other contracts. 

Even during his troubles in the 2000′s he never stopped writing or recording which was revealed to us by his untimely death. The amount of songs he left in his vaults will last a lifetime, until the end of time people will never forget who or what Michael Jackson was. A person, A Dancer, humanitarian and a Father. However, the amount of things he did release will last us a lifetime and may i say.

What a bad ass discography to leave us.

Here are two statements, one from the Sheriff’s Office and the other from The MJJ Estate. The Sheriff’s Offices has confirmed that these so called files have been falsified using real office documents but edited with unknown online sources. 

Giving the recent so-called new findings from Neverland Ranch as well as so-called lost and now found findings from the Sheriffs Office, i only feel it’s appropriate to re-upload Michael’s video statement from 2005,

 Michael Jackson isandwasinnocent, from the beginning to the end. A lot of people see the paying off as a guilty sign. Wrong. His lawyers and people Told him to pay off the family to get rid of them quicker. They also wanted him to pay them off so he could go back to touring and earn them more money.  Michael later admitted that paying the family off was the worse thing he could have done, he understood that it made him look guilty and that if he did what he wanted and fought it the first time he wouldn’t have been standing in court once more. 

Yes, I am a Michael Jackson fan but that’s not why i am defending him. I am defending him because i have read the FBI files, i have read and watched the 2005 trial. The evidence is out there for all to read and i suggest you do that. Then choose what you may think. Don’t listen to the media, believe in yourself and what you find. We are all allowed to think what we want and believe in what we think, but at least get the facts first before judging. 

Michael was no angel, a lot of the fans defend him and treat him like he never did anything wrong in his life. I am not one of them, He swore, he drank. He got angry and sad and cut and bled like the rest of us. He was human. He made mistakes in his life, mistakes with his personal life and his celebrity life. He was human, he was allowed to make mistakes but he would never hurt a child, never. He could never say no to a child in need. He would never molest a child. 

“I’d slit my wrists rather than hurt a child.” - Michael Jackson.

Michael dedicated his life to helping people, from children to homeless to war widows. It was never just children. He spoke loudly for them because they had no leader, they had no voice. He made his voice theirs. Do your research. That’s all i ask. Never take media 100% serious with fact. They manipulate, they lie. All so they can get more readers. The FBI tapped Michael’s phones, His cars, his houses. For over 25 years they investigated Michael and they never found a thing, and may i add they investigated him until his death. Those files are free to read. If there was proof of Michael being a pedophile then i would hold my hands up and admit it, But there isn’t. There never will be. I agree with you, some of the things he did were weird and a little unorthodox, But that’s who he was, missing out on a childhood made him want to hang around with children so he could relive it. Relive what he never had. You simply can’t blame him for that because many people do it. I do it. I recently bought some old game consoles so I could relive my childhood. Michael just had the money to do so much more. 

“Lies run sprints but the truth runs marathons.” - Michael Jackson

June 13th 2005, Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all counts. Happy Victory day.

Today now marks 11 years since Michael was found not Guilty on all counts of child molestation. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first nor the last time Michael was accused. The unfortunate remarks have followed his name since 1993. However, Michael always found a way to smile and laugh with his fans and family, but I’m sure you can all agree that the 2005 trial broke Michael. We saw a very broken down, depressed and very tired Michael afterward. Michael Jackson was innocent and I don’t say that as a fan. I say it as someone who studied the FBI files, Studied the case markings. For 20 odd years including up to 2009, the FBI tapped his phones, his homes, and his cars. They found nothing. Theses files are online for all to read and I suggest you do so. 

Michael Jackson has been and always will be innocent.
