The awful Dan Reed tried to justify to Laura K but she had to admit - this is clearly a way to "monetise" (Reed's word) the false allegations, both for media cash and for "damages". None of us can have any idea how Michael's fascination with childhood expressed itself but what is certain is that his music, dancing and talent was enormous, whatever his private life. And that he cannot defend himself, like Jimmy Savile, because he's dead. And that, despite trying (and, I suspect, like most these two will settle on the court room steps) - virtually nobody cares about the allegations compared to the incredible talent. Apart from media, of course. It's a good (if tired) story.

100%. And THE greatest talent of ALL TIME. He didn't have a normal or stable childhood. Was watching the Billie Jean video recently. The sheer brilliance. No-one before or since could hold a candle to him.

If you'd seen, as I did, the first time he ever did Billie Jean on stage - it was incredible.

Some guys I met have said their best gig they ever went to was seeing MJ live at London in the early 1990s.
