"Since His Death, the World Seems to Be Taking Another View of Michael Jackson
Nearly eight months after Jackson's untimely passing, the release of the new version of "We Are the World" is the latest in a string of events that have served to enhance Jackson's musical and humanitarian legacy, and begin to introduce his message and work to younger generations.
Recent months have seen increasing evidence that old and unproven allegations against Jackson are fading from public view as the world reflects more on his music and his humanitarian work. When major networks, institutions and the Olympics include Michael Jackson's work and his images in their productions and honors, it seems that the claims against him are more discredited than ever in the court of public opinion.
For example, in January, Jackson's landmark Thriller video become the first music video to be included in the National Film Archives in the United States. In addition, Jackson's Earth Song became the first 3D video presentation at a live awards show as the Grammy Awards made it one of the highlights. During the same show, two of Jackson's children, Prince and Paris, accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award on their father's behalf.
In the midst of all of this, a new Michael Jackson song, a collaboration with Lenny Kravitz, was leaked online (albeit briefly). Kravitz made a point to say that while he did not know who leaked it, that he found being in the studio with Jackson to be 'an amazing experience'. Kravitz also mentioned what a fantastic father Jackson seemed to be. Finally, Kravitz remarked that he found Jackson to have a very funny sense of humor and that the two of them laughed much of the time in the studio.
As Jackson battled ultimately unproven allegations of sexual misconduct throughout his life, his undeniable talent and messages of love and peace seemed to be lost except among his loyal fans. But as the world reflects on his life and contributions to the world and popular culture, there seems to be an undeniable shift in the way people think of, speak of, and remember Michael Jackson. His legacy and popularity, it would seem, will only grow from here."

GAHHH!! This is great! If his death is really a hoax, his life could change forever; in a positive way! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
but I truly love the fact that younger generations are being introduced to his message, its lovely to see !
But then I get upset, where were all these people when he needed them most? Things would have been different if media wasn't that cruel and money driven.
In the end, beeing natural en genuine is what wins! (Freddy Mercury)
If it is a hoax, I only see the media having fun with it when he comes back out and it will probably make allot of people upset. I mean if people where jerks to him just because of some false allegations, what do you think they are going to do if he comes back and says "JK not really dead"
I see some being thankful some neutral but most upset.
This is why people should not judge or condemn Dr Murray.... give him a fair trial and his day in court.
THOSE WHO GET UPSET WITH HIM WILL NOT BE HIS "TRUE" FANS. MJ HAS FANS THEN HE HAS TRUE FANS. THOSE WHO WILL STICK BY HIS SIDE THRU THICK AND THIN. I WILL ACCEPT WHATEVER HE TELLS US ON WHY THIS WAS DONE. NO JUDGEMENT. JUST ACCEPTANCE. THIS WORLD HAS PUT HIM THRU HELL. I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME WE ALL ALLOW HIM TO LIVE LIKE A REAL HUMAN BEING FOR ONCE.
Love you Michael !! God bless you !! Long live the king !!!

Yeah, unfourtunately, that happens to A LOT of people.....
I am so happy to hear of this. This is what his loyal fans and family already know.
Michael is the biggest humanitarian in the world, he embodies charity. He is all love, and the darkest, most evil people the world has to offer took total advantage of this precious angel sent from god.
Looks like his plan is working!! I cant wait for his return.

love, Sheryll W.
So true.
But sometimes I feel guilty for being on this forum.
Like, if he really hoaxed his death to be far from the terrible media, we're just spreading the word and making people get their panties in a bunch about it. I imagine he would want to be at peace.
I will always be a true fan. but I get mad when people say I wasn't a really a fan before he "d***", It's hard.
I would always get dirty looks and rude comments. People truly put him and us fans though HELL.
I can't imagine the reaction he would get when/if he comes back. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
