As stated by singer, Teddy Pendergrass, the whole town was practically laughing at Michael in regards to his personal life, how he raised his children, and his views pertaining to the subject of children. Michael was trying to rebuild the shattered pieces of his life though having been cleared on all counts of sexual misconduct towards a minor back in 1995. Also, as stated by Aprhodite Jones, in her 2007 book, "Conspiracy: Inside The Michael Jackson Case", she points out that it was media, alongside, disgraced A.D.A, Tom Sneddon, The Chandlers;as well, as the Arvizos were the caused of his public humiliation as they as bullied Michael to the point where he almost had a nervous breakdown, and why he wanted to move to Europe with his family, so he wouldn't have to put with his nonsense anymore. Who could blame him? The final straw came when the Arvizos were talking "smack" stating Michael gave them alcohol, which was later revealed in court that the Gavin and younger brother, Star, went into the private wine cellar at Neverland when no one was around, and drank Michael's wine, and entered his bedroom going through his property coming across a briefcase, which contained reading reading not suitable for younger children. Luckily, one of Michael's employees chased them out of the master bedroom. Fed-up with people messing with him, Michael finally did something about by way of the 2005 video rebuttal telling the Arvizos, "Well, bring it on" after Tom Sneddon, and the Arvizos where talking "trash" on how they were going to "kick his butt" in court. Well, that wasn't the case, and justice prevailed on Michael's behalf. Sadly, his reputation and good name was destroyed beyond; as a result, foolish talk that turned into evil hatred, and he didn't deserve that.

God help anyone who uses a picture of Michael Jackson to hawk their products, because the licensee of MJ's image is going after some new companies with a vengeance.
Bravado International Group -- which markets all things Michael -- is suing T-Line Design, Inc. based in Oregon.
According to the federal suit, obtained by TMZ, T-Line is downright "defiant," sardonically writing a blog that says, "...it SUCKS TOTAL BOLLOCKS when people steal those creations..."
The suit seeks $750 for each image illegally used, as well as statutory damages of $150,000.
Bravado filed two other infringement suits today against two other companies for unauthorized MJ

like your charm, your face,
just everything.
But the thing I think of the most
is that smile of yours.
Everytime I see it,
my heart skips a beat
and my thoughts get lost in it.
Your smile gives me butterflys in my stomach.
Your smile makes angels sing, a song that fills the streets.
Without that smile,
there is no joy in this world.
No one can replace it.
There is no mistake that when you smile,
that wonderful, beautiful smile,
the world turns into a better place.
To: My LOVE, Michael Joseph Jackson

There were no albums bigger than Thriller and Bad, and Jackson seemed to be just entering his prime as an artist.
In hindsight, considering the astonishing heights he hit in the 1980s, maybe there was nowhere to go but down. On top of the world profeessionally, his persional affairs increasingly came under the microscope and seemed to gradually bleed the life and vibrancy out of the mercurial artist.
The new decade sarted off with Jackson in the studio, recording his new album, Dangerous. Jackson had recently signed a 15-years, six-record deal with sony, and if the singer was able to deliver sales numbers comparable to what he posted in the 1980s, the deal was estimated to have an earing power of up to $1 billion.
Dangerous got off to a great start-it debuted at number one and quickly outpaced the sales of Bad.
