Topflux, would you please stop defending Lisa Marie Presely at the expense of Michael?
I'm not delussional. I know Michael misused Propofol. But, it doesn't make him a drug addict like Elvis Presley. To me, the Elvis parallel is BS. Unlike Elvis, Michael died in a dignified manner with a doctor at his side. In case you don't know, Michael is not died from drug overdose. His death is ruled a homicide. Conrad Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Even it's true that Michael thought he would have similar fate as Elvis and told Lisa just that in the mid 90's. You don't think he'd have changed his belief after becoming a father? You think he had no desire to see Prince, Paris and Blanket growing up and blossoming? You think he has no desire to walk Paris down the aisle?
No, Michael didn't only have minor disease. He had MAJOR health issues most of his life. He suffered from a serious second degree burn, lupus and vitiligo. He tried his best to take care of himself while sharing his God-given talents to his fans. Michael had dealt with all the adversities the best he could. If Michael was a lesser man and behaved more selfishly, we wouldn't have BAD, Dangerous, HIStory or Invincible. He could have retired from the entertainment industry not in his 40's, but in his 20's. He could have lived comfortably and collected music royalties the rest of his life.
None of us is in the position to say whether it's right or not for him to accept to perform at O2. You think he didn't want to show the world and his children what he still had and what a phenonemal performer he was? If Michael believed he could perform, then I believed in him. I have faith in him.
Again, I'm not hateful toward Lisa Marie Presley. I don't care about her. I love Michael, but it doesn't mean I have to love his ex-wife 15 years ago. I don't feel the need to defend her action neither. I don't know her and never talk to her in person. I have no idea whether she's a nice person or not. To be honest, the only things I know about her are that she's Elvis Presley's daughter and Michael Jackson's ex-wife. She hasn't really done anything in her life that worths my attention. She's a grown up. If she wants to go to Oprah to talk about her ex-husband 15 years ago, it's her right to do so. All I wish is that she can be fair, respectful and honest.
