Michael Jackson on ABC

[KaterBell]

Anyone else watching this right now?

I feel bad for this guy. He was never able to have a normal childhood and this is why he associates more with a 10 year old than with a normal adult. It disturbed me to hear him talk about his father and how he was treated...

And don't even get into his FACE.... that poor guy.

But what an amazing dancer - the guy's got moves.
What do you guys think ?

I forgot till I saw your thread...just turned it on...he is so ODD. It makes me sad. He was so talented, I was a fan when I was a kid. He is so messed up. So sad.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I have/am watching it. Very strange guy. Such a talent gone astray. I do think he has mental troubles of an assorted nature, contributed to by various things over his life. He is a 40 something man/parent/entertainer with many the mental working of a child, but not really even like a child. Very hard to describe. So unreal.

It's as if he hasn't matured past age 12. Seems Bipolar at times I thought his nose looked better

Does anyone else think it's child abuse to make those children walk around in public with a mask over their face?

The children need to be taken from him. They're obviously not biologically his, they have blonde hair!

I have been watching this as well. He does seem so odd... very much the mentality of a child. He really does seem to have some mental trouble... very hard to describe, but very odd. I have been watching and trying to put into words what I feel, and it is so hard because this is so strange...

 

[DopeyRN]

Did you see him giving the baby it's bottle? He was shaking that baby so much...jiggling his legs...my kids woulda PUKED if I shook them that way. Dan you said it so well. It is so hard to describe him...

He makes my skin crawl. He's scary, Very, very scary.

I think you, Katerbell and Dan said it well. This has made me so sad. For him and those beautiful children.

 

[KaterBell]

I was really disturbed to see him inviting 13 year old boys over for sleepovers, feeding his child with a sheet over his head, etc. He sounded like a little kid when he was talking... like he's never gotten past that level in his head.

Why would a grown man want to sleep in the same BED as another boy?

When I had sleepovers growing up, we all slept in separate beds.

I did see him in a different light last night. Not that I condone his behavior or numerous plastic surguries, but it did seem to make me understand why he does the odd things he does. Even though it seems evident that he does not physically abuse his children, you have to wonder how they will turn out as adults. This odd pattern might continue for another generation.
