god, this is so intrusive!!! Michael would be pissed!! *cries*
OTOH, I'd like to see Larry King and his cohorts try to spin this one.
1) Lupus causes lung damage. uh, and a shout out to Arty and his sockpuppets about MJ lip synching on the Dangerous tour. have you considered that maybe he was not ABLE to sing as much as he did on the Bad tour?! singing takes breath control, much of which he had lost due to the disease. he was still able to sing in a recording studio, just not in a sustained concert studio. I think this puts to rest the expectation that we're going to hear all LIVE stuff in TII. we're not, and we need to accept it. once and for all. we love him anyway!!
2) the tattoos are old news. we all knew that before, at least we who believed him when he told us he had Vitiligo. I have seen people with Vitiligo whose eyelashes turn white. when you're a celebrity the size of MJ -- you can do something about it.
3) he could have had ten more kids and had a happy, healthy life!! waaah... I can't tell you how angry I feel right now. the LAPD better get off of their fat asses soon!!
4) I am wondering about all those fans who said he was thin to the point of emaciation. I am disinclined to totally disbelieve them. 140 pounds on a 5-9 body *is* kinda on the thin side. Michael was ALWAYS on the thin side. and he did look very thin to me at the 02 Press Conf as well as the pics for TII. I just don't know how to explain this I guess.
