      MJ's kids and Katherine should use the money received from MJ (whether from the estate or during his lifetime) to clear up the damage from Leaving Neverland quickly. 1 is via a counter-documentary which can be widely published (needs a lot of money) but to be fair to MJ, to use his money to clear his name.

They have just as much if not more rights to do something like that because those guys were there every performance with him on stage and behind the scenes, can you imagine? They will all go down history with Michael from day 1..its strange.

      B Black MJ aint never forgotten or left his roots. he was a man beyond his time and he was here for a short amount of time, who loved to sing and dance and make a difference in this world. The world is only blind to its imperfections whereas it's the people in it, that chose to be blind. when you figure it out that's when you know the answers

    • @annajones8941
      @annajones8941 Před 5 lety +4

      B Black no. You're the one who is blind. In fact so convincingly blind that I personally think you were hurt in a way that a child shouldn't be and put that pain unto a person who ,no longer a part of this world, cant defend himself. the world didn't appreciated him while he was here so god took him home as a REMINDER of who he (God) is.

YOU only felt bombarded with yourself. YOU are only fighting with yourself. So why should I be bothered by YOU? Honey, I'm just a regular person in cyberspace. No need to feel intimidated by me by simply debunking YOUR accusations and/or assumptions. Let's be for real: you wont recognize the truth if it smack you in the face. 🤷 have a great day, sweetheart 😊

      @B Black and i suppose you know ALL the answers right? He had a gift and didnt abuse it. Yet here you are, claiming that his gift was not of God and what he is known for is for false entitlement? Before i check you, miss, let me be clear: God works in mysterious ways that one can't question it no matter how far fetched it may sound. Mj was a man who also loved the Lord and tried to help contribute the good things in life to this world and they killed him for it. Get it if youre not a fan but what you NOT gonna do is try to discredit his life work and then use god to attest to it. Thats ignorance and you know it

So we can only choose to believe what we want, it is just personal opinions from both sides. Lavelle, a great friend of his, created this documentary for those who chose to believe in Michael's goodness. We are not judges, we are fans.

    For the first time I heard MJ’s song “they don’t really care about us”when I was probably 7-8 years old since then he was the only one from Hollywood have known and fascinated with.Since then I’m watching him now in my 30’s kind of getting into researching him who he really was…and I do have a strong believe that MJ wasn’t just a “king of pop” but also was a “king of humanity” as well.Thankfully he had some nice people like you while he was surrounded by goons he didn’t know.I believe there were people who didn’t like him getting famous and then when he started gathering all the kindness from the world through his charity for the children was the time for the culprits to use this as an opportunity to destroy his goodwill in the public.When all that they tried didn’t affect his rise finally they had no other ways to stop him than to kill him.I have probably 2 people in the world I adore among which one is MICHAEL will be known for his kindness and humanity in the eyes of true people soul around the world.I’m not an American but I’m an Indian with all my research that I have done filled my eyes in tears to see how brutally MJ was being targeted being alive and even not being alive shows how brutal this world is to all the kind souls we have known in the history,have all been mostly murdered.Love you MJ,you will be alive and immortal.

      I Believe this too , also Bruce lees brother said something similar he doesnt believe in family curse he believed his brother was targeted by people from china that didn’t like influencing or having power of any form that can make him stronger in the business
      And carry great impact around the world especially back then
      But I believe is bull is his son dying at the rise his of stardom
      Michael was fighting not only evil in the industry but the world it self

    This is the first time in way too long that I've heard someone who was around Michael speak the truth of who he was as a person. I find those who were around him all too often cave to false narratives to play it safe, so much so that I don't recognize the person they're speaking about anymore. As someone who was also close to Michael, I appreciate your words and know that they come from a place of complete truth. The man you speak of is the man I knew too. Thank you for your integrity, for taking the time to make this, and for being his friend.

    Michael is an inspiration.
    He's like a drug.
    You just accidentally stumble over a video of him, or you just hear his music somewhere and suddenly you feel this need deep inside to ...just somehow search his name.
    You are drowning in this rare magic you can't compare this to any other artist, the closeness to the art, the impact that he had on so many other artists and people.
    He actually touched them far beyond their own imaginations.
    But the more you get to know about him, the more you drown in this pain, the way this beautiful soul was treated and how unfair this is. I never wished to turn back the time more desperately then when thinking of Michael Jackson's faith. I believe he has a special place wherever he now may be. I believe that all the horrible things that happened to him are not important now. I think he is safe and happy up there.
    Thank you for this documentary.

      My friend, this happened to me. I've been watching MJ every single since December 1st 2019. I stumbled upon him. His life experiences were just so tragic, so tragic that you feel it personally. I never even really knew much about him when he was alive. 10 - 11 years after his death, I cry over him every day. I pray he's in heaven, that's the only thing that can compensate for all the misery he suffered on earth. He made it to 50. Some other people might have died sooner than that.
      Gosh! I miss him so much. I feel like I lost something dear to me, it's painful. I love him so much. I pray for his kids that they get to know Jesus and accept the gift of salvation. This world isn't our home anyway. Only in Jesus is there hope. Life can be filled with misery and pain, but MJ's experiences were on a whole different lever. They were enough to make a person go mental. RIP.

    Michael said, "I see God in the face of children." I see God. Thanks so much LaVelle! I always say that too...carry on Michael's Legacy of Love!!! Yes, he is still around us in spirit. I feel him around even me. He loves the world so much 💝💛💗💚💖💜💜💜💙❤
    In January of 1993 Michael was, I feel, at the height of his power, which is immortalized in his performance at the super bowl. I think I read that a little over one billion people were watching at a time when the planet's population was a little over four billion. That means he was speaking directly to 25% of the entire planet! As he began the song Heal the World he made a short speech in which he stated "Today we stand together all around the world joined in a common purpose to remake the planet into a haven of joy and understanding and goodness. No one should have to suffer especially our children. (MJ starts to tear up). This is for the children of the world." By the end of the year 1993 he was suffering the first allegations when he was accused in August (same month as his birthday). Clearly, "someone" didn't want him remaking the planet into a haven of joy. Michael Jackson's genius for music and dance was rivaled only by the genius of his heart and his ability to influence the whole world with his values and compassion. Which is why he is is is still just as loved as ever even a decade after his passing and by young kids born after his time. So, take that dark forces! You're so pathetic "it makes me giggle " 😃 that even 10 years after his death you need to try to destroy his reputation because his power of love is so much greater than your greed. But, the sad truth is they did kill him. And, I pray for his children who lost their daddy at such a young age. I just want to add I think it's rather interesting timing that only 5 months after Michael's passing Evan Chandler took his own life. I also want to add to look at the enormous platform Michael Jackson had with the This Is It Tour. He was creating mind blowing performances of Man In The Mirror, Earth Song, and Heal The World which would have delivered his message of love and healing to record breaking audiences at a crucial time when love, healing, caring for the planet are so essential. And they say MJ was planning to use his profits to build a hospital for caring for orphaned children. In his lifetime, Michael donated $350 million dollars to charity. But, he did so much more even. Often rushing to the side of anyone in need. Now Michael is reunited in spirit with his friends Dave Dave and Ryan White. Michael Jackson was the lightworker of lightworkers a superstar and a super empath. His message of love and caring we'll live forever! Michael Jackson is unstoppable.
    I think in one sense what it was about was a spiritual warfare of good vs evil. Michael was an angel. There really can be no doubt that despite all that was done to him (including his death) that he had a massive impact on raising the consciousness of humanity. Michael Jackson's legacy of LOVE lives on! 💝

    Dear LaVelle, as Michael's fan I always saw you dancing with Him, never pay too much attention to you until I watched this video on Christmas Eve,.During the video I cried in different moments, sometime happy tears other sad tears. First of all I wanted to say thank you to you for this wonderful video, when is about Michael I have no words to express how I feel. As you I wanted to say Thank you to Michael for everything He did to me in my life. In June 2009 I achieved my targets professionally I was ready to meet in person Michael, I had ticket for London on July 24th....I saw him before in Madrid 1992, but I was too young, only 19 years old, and even though I tried to get to him in Man in the mirror song, police took me away from Michael so missed the chance. This time in 2009 I was determined to meet him....I think my history has to be told because there are so many people like me who was blessed and helped by Michael. I was a thirteen girl, who suffered from anorexic and bully at school, failed all subjects at school, with a difficult family situation...lost and suddenly I saw a thriller poster in a video shop window, I was on a bus, then I rented that video time after time...and my whole life started to change...I started to get outstanding grades in all subjects at school.I stopped crying, all my problems dissapeared, I found happyness in Michael's music, I found faith in God through Michael, honesty, caring, magic...all those marvellous values that Michael inspired, my life was full of music and dancing... which I always loved it, He changed completely my life...Eventually I became a primary teacher and nowadays I try my best with children following Michael's teachings. I learned so much from Michael....

    This guy is so real! He touched my heart just by his honest self. This we can call real documentary. Not like Leaving Neverland... I see huge difference when I listen to him and to James or Wade.

    One word to describe both, you Lavelle and this documentary: Marvelous! We can feel your love for Michael and for your work. The only bad thing about this documentary is that it ends. May God bless you Lavelle and a big shout out from Brazil 🇧🇷

    This is what should´ve been shown on TV in every country. Maybe you/we should get it on a channel i France and Italy. They aren´t comletely anti-MJ, are they? This should get some attention!! Its absolutely beautiful. You are such a friend LaVelle!! and you did a great job! Thank you so much

    *_Thanks brother. For telling the truth about the king. This was a very sad story. MJ will always be loved. He was a gem. He was a god. He was the greatest._*
