I'm sorry but I hate it when people say things like this...IF Michael was born into another family?? What sense does that make?? Yeah, let's go back to the past and insert Michael into another family...His future would be quite different and we probably wouldn't even be here right now.
I don't hate your opinion, but I disagree with it.
Love & nurturing is important during childhood, Michael always complaint about the lack of love he felt from his father. He was afraid of his father, he said it so. He had so many talents -I don't think they all were inherited- he was blessed artistically and spiritually. If singers without that much talent had made it, of course- I think- Michael would had made it. That's my opinion, there is no need to be abrassive if we don't agree. When I hear or see sad things about Michael what comes in my head is a little boy who is being beaten for missing a dancing step. Anyway, let's move on. No hard feelings, please.
Aquarius loved your post^^. It makes sense. Just because Michael was a part of the Jackson family it does not mean that if he was from another family he would not have the same success. If that was the case we would have doctors from one family only, musicians from one family only, fools from one family only and on and on.
Cool. However I didn't mean MJ simply inherited his talents genetically. I believe that part of what makes a person a particular person set aside from all others are one's own
experiences and
environment. I mean yeah, MJ could have been a successful musician but he wouldn't be the Michael Jackson we know today. His experiences both good and bad shaped him,wether you want to ignore or accept that is your decision. I mean had MJ not been affected by the brutal discipline of his father growing up and/or backstabbing and betrayal from close family and friends, would MJ really be as sensitive and caring and committed to helping those who have been in his position,namely children who have had their childhood robbed by stardom,disease and poverty? He's been there and thats what gives him that extra umph other successful musicians lack , MJ
really cared about those around him, know why? Because
he's been there, he's felt the same hurt, pain and longing.
I mean many musicians have caught onto helping out with charities,mainly for publicity and sometimes out of compassion, but I have never seen anyone have the intensity, passion and perseverance to fight for the healing and happiness of children all over the world as much as Michael. Michael lived to help others in need even if it ended up costing him a bit more than necessary at times.
No One Performs like Michael. No One with as much power and influence cared as much as Michael.
Someone who grew up in the perfect environment would have no idea what its like to grow up in an abnormal and painful environment. They could have compassion and be aware but to
know, I'm afraid not.
Now would I have wanted MJ to grow up in a peaceful and blissful environment? Yeah , who wouldn't??
But I'd also have to accept that there would not exist the Michael Jackson I grew to connect with and admire.
Lets not forget, The Jacksons are a predominantly Show Business/Musically inclined Family, that's all they do. The stage is their home, however MJ spoiled us all by doing it the best which is probably a major reason as to why their gigs/shows/performances will never live up to the standards Michael set and many will always find a way to criticize it and well isn't that just life.
As mediocre as it appeared, I thought it was a nice way of distracting the children from the somberness of the trial, thats how I saw it. That's all.
Edit: Maybe I went too deep into this and veered off course but those are my sentiments on the situation and
to that type of comment in particular. No hard feelings here either.:flowers:
