A joke ? I don't think so, nothing is free, it's as if you told me that eminem did what he did just for fun without a look for the hurts he made, I don't remember that Michael had laughed. She should just have a little respect for him, she's just at the beginning of her career (perhaps the end too as many others) - Well ... that's my opinion
Look, she said she's a fan and was fascinated by him. People here said a lot worse stuff about Michael when he was alive and they WEREN'T JOKING.
It was an off the cuff, self deprecating remark... Perhaps English humour goes over some people's heads?
And saying that rock stars have mental health issues is NOTHING compared to Eminems antics. That analogy is WAY off.
She's a fan. Her favourite album is Off The Wall. Did the rest of the interview skip over everyone's heads because of a one liner that wasn't even negative toward him?
