I just watched this thing today on VH1 where it is now in heavy rotation. Now, I am not a MJ fan or anything, and I do think the guy has some problems, but this thread is not about MJ. Its about this fucking guy who made this show about him.
Was it just me or did it seem to anyone else that this guy was out to prove that Jacko was Wacko instead of presenting an untainted picture of him? I got this feeling from all of his little “commentaries” about the kids and stuff. He also seemed to show only small blips of MJ acting nutty or weird shit at a time. Like he took a 5 sec seen with Blanket and showed that, when there was actually 3 hours of “normal” footage though.
I think MJ is right that this thing was edited specifically to make him look nuttier than he is. I think this guy took advantage of his all access pass to MJ. This “journalist” is the reason that MJ stays out of the public eye.
Now I am not saying that MJ doesn’t have some serious problems. I don’t think it is as bad as the public thinks it is, but he does have some demons to deal with. But this fucking toolbox who pieced together this documentary probably damaged MJ’s already fragile public trust beyond repair.
I bet we never see MJ outside the tabloids after the aftermath of this doc dies down.
