Quincy Jones, Jackson's Mentor

[tb049]

Dangerous proved Michael didn't need Quincy

[benzz2006]

I applaud Q for being straight up. Him and MJ put together my favorite piece of work-BAD. My favorite MJ album.

[lovesrealmusic]

i agree with you, Narcissist01. I believe the many surgeries were due to the vitiligo. I've been saying that for years. He felt the "white features" would look better with the way the vitiligo was draining all of the pigmentation out of his skin. Having vitiligo and being in the public eye must

have been pure torture for him.

[janet060948]

I totally agree with you. Also, can you imagine being the biggest celebrity in the world and having such a devastating skin disease. He also had a history of physical and emotional abuse, child molestation charges brought against him and another disease called lupus which is characterized by skin lesions. I have heard ,on a couple of occasions, Michael stating that in his life he had been to "hell and back." Through all of his suffering, MJ always gave us his music, his dancing and his love.

All right, stop going out of your way to say, "no no no MJ didn't do drugs...Mj didn't really alter his looks...blah blah" and otherwise insulting our intelligence and then I'll stop my noise making too.

[UniqueAlready79]

@LeagueOJustice you're insulting your own fucking intelligence

[LeagueOJustice]

Dear Ket-head: I'm here because I'm a truth teller and I love Michael Jackson. MJ fibbed a lot in his life and I'm doing my little part to make sure he's remembered for his spirit and performing genius, rather than in the context of the fibs you guys are trying to promote thereby doing a disservice to his name.

[UniqueAlready79]

@LeagueOJustice hey dumbass he did not lie about anything. you want to think he lied about shit. you need to have your fucking head examined you fucking moron

[blacrican]

Great observation. I think we will never know & thats what makes MJ so great. He's the only person I feel can astonish ppl with just his presence.

[LeagueOJustice]

Poor Ketren2. So afraid to have her hero be human while the rest of us know how to celebrate him even, with his shortcomings.

[LeagueOJustice]

Quincy Jones is speaking precisely "what he knows." Most rational adults can see that MJ radically altered his appearance, had imbalanced relationships with kids and used drugs to avoid much of the pain of his life. I still think he is a performance genious and I love his spirit and courage however.

[LeagueOJustice]

All evidence points to the fact the Michael Jackson battled drug addiction for a very long time.

[LeagueOJustice]

Dear Ketren2, I don't give a fuck about you, or your "check on me"

[jalitamoore]

"Closest friend" my azz! i just saw him talking shit about mj in another video, saying he was lying about vitiligo. and to the person below me. You don't represent all biracial people! Google jennifer beals.

I hate it when reporters always fish for something negative in mj when there are much more positives. Notice at the end, the reporter had to sneek in that little question. So what he plastic surgery? Thats old news.

Fuck the press, Mikes the best!

[fedecy]

the truth is difficult to handle

[sclogse1]

Oh, yeah, and he had his hair straightened. A complicated dude.

[harshtruthtoyou11]

HE HAD A SKIN DISORDER. COMFORT?

[sclogse1]

Right..and none of the rest of the family had it...and also he decided to cover it with light makeup instead of dark makeup. The kid...now a man, was a very complicated dude. LIke Marilyn, Dean, Presley, and other's lost before their lives were really over, there will be questions about them forever. I spell Presley right?

[harshtruthtoyou11]

HE OBVIOUSLY WASNT. HE'D SKIN DIS.

[PF149]

Q- really man, those 'personal things' about Michael in regards to his 'skin' etc.... WHY SHARE IT NOW???

[blacrican]

Quincy Jones is not in the business of exposing dirt on ppl. He is a music producer. But if you've ever followed document of Q, he has always told the truth. Even when It comes to himself. Im 1 of the biggest MJ fans but he had hang up just like everyone else. That makes him even more special. If we can believe anyone It should be Quincy Jones for Christ sake.

[PF149]

listen- when Michael was alive and breathing Quincy should have expressed these things to the media,why bother now???Of course Michael had his'hang ups' as everyone else- BUT this is a CLASSIC example of how alot of people(including the master producer himself=Mr. Quincy Jones) 'talks' TOO MUCH!He did not say these things when he and Michael were working on 'THRILLER'/'OFF THE WALL'!As well as wining those EIGHT GRAMMYS!

[blacrican]

I have to disagree bc there is document that Quincy among managers from MJs crew consistantly warned him about the surgeries & chemical peels for years. Q going to the media was not going to help MJ. Thats rediculous. And true friends will come to you in secret to help you. Q is obviously upset & feels that what they warned him about became his demise.

[PF149]

yes so true! I always felt in my heart that Michael IN FACT DID have vertigo, but he just might have used skin peels to satisfy his complexes though!

[blacrican]

I guess for me it didnt become believable until the close friends started expressing concern. Even Cher who he was close to just now admitting that she saw this unfolding. And it didnt help to have all of those blood suckers in his home. They didnt care what he was doing as long as they got paid. Hey, I dot care if he kills himself. As long as I get my check. His family begged him. Dont do this tour. The yes man corner said MJ you're fine. Its so tragic.

[PF149]

Your right then! I was in disbilief when i heard that he would not even speak to his own MOTHER!And you know-sincerely at that point, i guess i was in deep denial accepting the reality that this was true!You know i am part of the generation who grew up on listening to the Jackson 5's music, and it just feels like a part of my 'musical childhood' died right along with Michael! It still feels 'sureal' and whenever i hear him singing,it just feels like he is still with us in the flesh!

[blacrican]

I call him the soundtrack of my life. You hear that song & you knew where you were & what you were doing. He was a perfectionist & you cant turn that off. He had entered into another level in his mind. He made a statement that the fans expect him to look, sing & dance a certain way. He began trying to find ways to preserve himself for his fans bc along with his children thats all he had. Thats all he's ever known. You take that away & you die, rest his soul.

[PF149]

Very profound my friend......... very profound!~

[blacrican]

Despite all of that I still say he without sin cast the first stone. That man accomplished what cities of ppl didnt do in his short life time. So I think thats what we are defending when It comes to MJ. And we must "preserve" we he wanted us to. His legacy, Sir King Michael Jackson. And thats the way its going to be. Much love to you my friend. A friend of Michaels is a friend of mine

[PF149]

And just like Michael Jordan expressed in the new 'Essence' magazine issue(which includes a 30page-tribute to Michael)-'The world has become darker without Michael',i thank you for giving me the insight on what i thought was not the truth!R.I.P. Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson!~

[blacrican]

Im not saying thats the gospel. But once I stop trying defend everything & everyone against Michael, I realized I was worst than them bc we the fans were telling MJ go ahead Mike. We dont care how skinny & pale you get ( and when I say skinny I mean 90 pounds. He was around 5'11). He gave us so much & we wanted more! When the children came I stood on my soap box & cursed the haters. Now Im Creole-french/black/latin but I dont look like his kids & on the inside I knew something was not adding up

[LeagueOJustice]

That's right, blame it on every other source but the addict. Tool

[blacrican]

Ok. And what is your addiction huh? What uh, maybe chainsmoking, whiskey, women, bs. We all have some shit with us, depending on how richeous we feel today. Dont bullshit me

[LeagueOJustice]

My addiction is helping naive airheads online to see past their ass and begin to speak the truth

[blacrican]

Oh so calling ppl addicts must be your way of helping. I feel alot better now

[LeagueOJustice]

Yeah it's this wonderful thing called honesty and disclosure, much like the first step in alcoholics anonymous says, 'we admitted to ourselves and to others..." I know this may be a big step for you blacrian but this sort of way of interacting with the world can actually be very refreshing.

[blacrican]

Im not discrediting what you are saying. Im just saying, I dont know the man & I cant call his addiction. We are talking about truth here right. How much trust do you have in the media? Bc as I research this more, Im finding the truth isnt adding up to what CCN told us.

[LeagueOJustice]

I've been an addiction counselor since 1999 and a psychologist since 1996. Trust me on this. And there is no shame in it. Our best and brightest often succumb to addiction. For Gods sake look to MJs own songs to see what he put himself through in order to deal with the way this world is.

[blacrican]

Well first let me say I honor you for what you do. That task is only given to the meek & you are a good man for it. All Im saying is much like a great athletes & entertainers such as MJ, Fred Astaire. How much of this is self inflicted & how much is forced upon? When the puppeteer tells you to dance does he ask you if your feet hurt?

[blacrican]

If you read Quincy Jones book & a few of the MJ books published years before he passed, Q & MJs manager at the time of Thriller & Bad clearly expressed their concerns about MJs surgeries to MJ. It was also an interview with the long time manager & Im pretty sure its on youtube where the manager asked MJ why he was changing his skin color & MJ turned his head & would not respond. Keep in mind these ppl knew him! Not like us the fans. Of coarse the fans are not made to question MJ. We buy records

[PF149]

so what u r sayin is that Michael INDEED did not have any form of Vertigo? What chemicals does 1 use in order 2 'bleach' ones' skin? Alot of work!

[blacrican]

Im not saying he didnt. I dont know him. But the ppl who knew him say, hey its bullshit. Its like a family member who dies. You run the scenarios in your head. You say, I told him about those damn chemical peels! You're hurting. Q had nothing to gain from this. He was rich before & after MJ. But we the fans have to be true fans & not bullshit ourselves. Bc I do believe the Yes Men Cornern & Your Right Michael Corner helped lead him to his demise. The proof? He's Dead!!!

[UniqueAlready79]

@blacrican dude had vitiligo. that is different from skin peeling. what rock you came from up under. Why don't you and Q take you dumbasses somewhere and read the autopsy report instead of wasting time in your life spewing this bullshit and trying to defend Q for being a senseless near senile chook for even thinking he know something. IDIOT
