Read the blogs and have just a few comments.

1) AEG spend a BOATLOAD of money fronting the This is It concerts – upwards of 50 million already counting all expenses. They aren’t going to recoup that from the insurance agent (Lloyds of London) cause the policy was not in effect and validated. I’m sure they need to stay afloat and explain to their shareholders how they managed to fumble this one.

2) If you see it in the press (not tabloids but press) long enough, you will believe it is true, even if the accused is found not guilty. Witness how many people believe O.J. did it although he was found not guilty. So, with MJ, he could not afford the hit to his reputation/ruination of his career regardless of his innocence or guilt. Also, he did need to work – you might laugh at that but he did. He was told a trial could last 7 to 8 years and that it would bring him down regardless of the outcome, pay it off and get it out of the way. Sad thing is, it did ruin him and his career. In most cases of child molestation, it ruins all parties involved (parents, victim, accused) regardless of what actually happened.

3) The documentary of the rehearsals-gosh it doesn’t take too long to get it out-it’s already done, just put it together, slice it, splice it, copy it and ship it.

4) The books were in production but not in print before he died. The authors/publishers yanked them from the list, rewrote some stuf and sent them back to production for printing.

Really really want to see this documentary.

” Investigators that set out to prove Jackson was a molester, came up with nothing, and even admitted that Michael Jackson was NOT a child molester.”

How do you know that Jackson didn’t pay them off to lie about it?

Not as point of argument, but of clarification, john: so does your last statement imply that the parents of the “victim” didn’t truly believe their child was molested? Would they not have settled if they really thought Michael was guilty, but instead kept on him until he had lost everything? And to pose a similar question to you, if you TRULY believed you were innocent, would you not spend any amount of your resources to save your reputation, dignity, or innocence?

That’s because this documentary seemingly does not deal with his personal issues. It’s about the work leading to his comeback tour.

Jackson is not a child molester. I agree with you, John. These people saw money when they saw how Jackson had feelings for children; feelings that were NOT sexual in any way. Investigators that set out to prove Jackson was a molester, came up with nothing, and even admitted that Michael Jackson was NOT a child molester. In such a corrupt world, driven by sex, money, and fame – it is hard for people to believe that a man could be kind and loving in a different way.

One question Mr. Campea.
How long did it take for you to get in a position where you are right in almost every topic to argue/debate about?

I totaly want to see this!!
I never really cared much for Michael Jackson before he died. I just thought he was another weird tabloided celebrity like Britney Spears (exept he actualy had good songs).
And then I saw a few documentaries of him on TV and actualy got to hear his full story and I started to really actualy empantize for him and actuatly got a positive opinion of him.
I think the most disapointing this about his death was that he never got to do his comeback and I think that making this documentary and letting the world see his new stuff would be the best way that Hollywood could honor his memory and the closest this to a comeback Michael will ever get.
