Through all the EPIC, and i mean, EPIC bickering about this video, how in the world has it remained 27 likes and ZERO dislikes??

@stonegrooved thank you for being so obsessed with MJ..it makes us so happy. we love it. We love that you are commenting on every video. it's very nice to know how much you secretly love MJ. anyone who obsesses, is in love. you are in love. you don't need to hide it anymore. nobody cares to read your ridiculous comments, so why don't you go find a new hobby and keep adding more MJ posters to your wall. don't be ashamed! be proud! it doesn't need to be secret anymore that you love MJ!

@shineyapple and the fact that Paul has to pay for every Beatles song he plays live. UNETHICAL!

@limitlesslovee1 What are you talking about?

[Blanked22]

Michael is the smartest Buisness Man in Music Industrie

@Xxqtpie192xX You believe that screwing over someone makes you a 'great businessman'. That is the problem with the vulture culture. And if you wanna know why MJ had a live-in cardiologist feeding him propofol, valium, ativan, and midazolam, they wanted him dead. At MJ's death, the catalog was worth $1B. There were rumors Jackson to give the rights back to McCartney in 2009. Bankers destroyed Northern Songs in the '60s to steal the rights. They took out life insurance on Lennon/McCartney.

Well..I guess it doesn't matter now that MJ is dead. Paul can afford to buy some of MJ's catalogue, since his estate has so much debt. Now, don't get mad at Paul if he decides to do that...remember it's all business. ;) Right is right & wrong is wrong..& karma is a b&@*$

@navlac It is backstabbing when you have worked your ass off and those songs are yours. What dumb people don't understand about this is that the beatles didn't sell their songs for anyone to grab and buy, they were owned by the record company instead of by the Beatles and the Beatles wanted to own them but didn't have enough money at the time to buy and own them. How do you think MJ would have felt if he got screwd and his songs were being auctioned and his best friend came and bought'em

uh now i get the whole deal there's no backstabing in this i mean it was up for sale and michael bought it so what he didn't steal it or anything he payed 48 million so i think that gives the right to own them and paul felt bad because him and mj were friend's and that mj bought them so no need for hating

[navlac]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL MJ told him, "I'm gonna buy your songs". Paul stopped laughing .

No backstabbing involved here. Keep it moving people. Nothing to see here but the truth.

[DominiqueCherry]

Paul didn't want to buy it. If Michael didn't buy the rights it would be still in some big record company. So what backstabing?
