    Wow....so good to know Prince actually loved and respected Michael...but also so surreal to watch this interview now whilst Prince was still alive then...how ironic. Tavis Smiley must now write a book about Prince's live and on what he knew of him as a person, funny stories etc.

  • @michaeljacksonearthangel5849

    Michael, according to his father, was going to take his This Is It earnings to open a children's hospital. And, if you listen to the testimony in Murray's trial (I forget which physician), but Michael was denied informed consent and his patient's right to autonomy.

    • @Ms1Brownchocolate
      @Ms1Brownchocolate Před 8 lety +7

      You can tell Prince cared about Michael
      because I bet he was a fan of the Jackson 5 like so many people in their
      childhood during the late 60s and during the 2005 trial he deleted bad comments
      from people on his Twitter page who were talking about Michael. I think that Pepsi
      commercial burn to his skull is was what started him on taking pain medication because
      if people saw the photos, they’d understand how painful it was. And I’m sure he
      had a hard time sleeping after THAT too. But I think his insomnia started way
      back during his childhood in the Jackson 5 days because they were working so
      hard like adults, staying up late practicing and performing and when you’re the
      star of the group at THAT age, of course you get more of the burden. But I wish Tavis Smiley would've talked to
      some Michael Jackson fans before making THIS book because the ONLY thing
      missing in THAT book were the corrupt corporate people that Michael was dealing
      with who were helping to destroy him and his career. Of course the clueless and
      haters DON'T know THIS because the media played a part of it too since they
      work along with SONY and were helping to spread lies about Michael to stop him
      from gaining more fans. People wanted him dead (which is something Tavis Smiley
      doesn’t know) and wanted those music catalogues and THAT tour was a set up and
      the ONLY way to get it back to SONY. Why do YOU THINK Sony is so serious about
      getting it anyway NOW that he’s gone?
      Corrupt people were forging signatures
      (like sneaky Tohme Tohme) to get Michael to do 50 shows when it was supposed to
      be ONLY 10 shows. And Michael wasn't taking drugs just to get high, he had
      serious health issues that could be life threatening and Lupus can sometimes
      cause cancer and dos cause people to go bald. This is why he was at a Lupus
      fund raiser in 2003 for a reason. When you have so many health issues at once,
      of course there’s gonna be a lot of medication to take along with it. So don't
      call him a drug addict as if you’re trying to say he was JUST trying to get
      high. Now Elvis on the other hand was the one getting high on cocaine, but you
      won't hear the racially BIAS media bringing that S**T up, them and their
      secretive ass selves. Michael's medication wasn't strong enough
      for all the health problems he had, he just had to take it to live on and THAT
      tour wasn't helping either because it made it hard for him to go to sleep.
      People need sleep, period, and without it, your mind isn't right because I KNOW
      what that feels like and experienced THAT before. You forget a lot of things and feel like a
      zombie, but I don't take medication for anything unless it's for cramps or
      serious physical pain from whatever. So clueless people need to get THAT
      straight. And "dumb dumb" Conrad Murray let the Propofol drip in
      Michael's body and forgot to STAY IN TH DAMN ROOM which is why Michal stopped
      breathing since Murray didn't come back in time. A wake up call to anybody who
      doesn’t know what the F**K was going on.

      This is so sad. But I do remember when Prince was doing interviews with different people (like Tom Joyner), during the time that Michael was going through over the allegations and it was considered "cool" to bash Michael, they would try to get Prince to badmouth Michael and he would never take the bait which made me love him all the more. RIP to them both.

    Before you say that, go watch the abc afterlife documentary on Michael and then showed that place BEFORE all this shit happened. So I will this. The reason why people believe this is because Michael looked odd and acted different from everyone instead of taking time to understand a human being because he is human first of all. Also anyone who believes this, strongly suggest studying this man and what he has gone through (especially watch this movie called Life of An Icon) so don't judge a man that there is 0 proof of this ever happening and the kids that said that he did said they lied soooooo

    Y'know I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that the GREAT, PROFESSIONAL Michael Jackson could've been TRICKED into signing up for 50 shows---from just 10! That just doesn't SOUND RIGHT to me! Michael was MUCH SMARTER than that! NOBODY could take advantage of the 'King of Pop' like that! C'mon, Michael NEVER would've gotten as FAR as he did in his career, if he was that GULIBLE. I just can't understand how ANY MJ fans could BELIEVE that sh*t about him!

  • @Moviefan2k4
    @Moviefan2k4 Před 8 lety +1

    When someone mistakes the word "great" for "perfect" or "infallible", its no surprise they end up with the wrong conclusion about America. What made us great as a nation, was that for every major advancement of evil, there were people willing to risk everything to defeat it. Prior to the 1960s, more people believed in absolute truth, and God as the sole source of it. They held to personal responsibility and stared fear in the face, instead of running away. Yes, some very serious mistakes were made, and a lot of people suffered on all sides...not just blacks. But America was a nation that desired to stand on its own, instead of having everything handed to them. The latter isn't freedom, but tyranny in disguise. Our current problems were eerily predicted by President Theodore Roosevelt...
    "The United States was founded on the principle of Christianity. Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life, that it would be literally - I do not mean figuratively, but literally - impossible for us to figure what the loss would be if these teachings were removed. We would lose all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves."

      None of these stories that came out are consisting of new "evidence". Recycled annual garbage. They take advantage of the general public for the sake of a salacious headline. Just think about it. If the LAPD (THE L-A-P-D...) found anything even remotely close to "child pornography", things would be a lot different. They ultimately destroyed his home, finding nothing.
