Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

When I was in high school in Jamaica the girls absolutely loved MJ and the Jackson 5. Say anything bad about MJ and you certainly were not going to be able to &quot;check&quot; 99% of the girls in high schools

It's because these Jamaicans are dealing with MJ's music, voice, lyrics, dancing, which is all brilliant.

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

am i the only one who has read that michael, as an adult, had homosexual relationships within the past few years? am i the only one who remembered that his own family thought that he was gay?

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

JJ, i can see your query and understand where u r coming from,

u see MJ is diff, he is a brilliant superstar, dat bwoy can dance, sing and rock a crowd, if u know what i mean,

so jcans will turn a blind eye to him 'discrepancies' cause dem luvvv him gone to bed, AND he is not in dem face all de time, so allegations and talk is just dat to dem at dis time.....,

now maybe if him did inna dem face, like living in Ja, it would be a diff story....hope this helps~~ Blessed!

u have to also remember the crowd in which he draws, for instance, me, i grew up with MJ and luvvvv him, but in recent years me never did a too pay him mind cause he went off track somewhere,

but now him dead, me a go miss him, and now the old memories are resurfacing and so now me a miss him, u see him being sooo talented and never really got to enjoy his life to alot of people who will miss him is very sad, so now all we can do is wish him some peace.....so MJ hope the heavens opened up and bless u my son, u deserve finally some peace.....RIP me son~~

Assuming he's gay, would his music be better if he wasn't?

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael



I know what you mean Ja. Jewel. If a man looking like the one pictured here (on the right ) was to walk downtown Kingston I would not want to imagine what would become of him. However, since Michael is a celebrity he get a free pass. His homosexuality is like the elephant in the room. Everyone can see the signs but no one wants to acknowledge it.

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

i never really thought mike was gay...i can't put my finger on it but he has a way with the ladies...excuse me --had a way with the ladies;

as far as jamaicans- they know the difference between a gay person and a celebrity...celebrities are expected to be more flamboyant than the civilian population...
anyway jamaicans have a special love for michael jackson going way back (i remember little junir tucker trying to look like him)- caw yu done know j'cans are music lovers...so why should they judge him if it has never been proven that he was gay;
they just enjoy his talent and leave it at that...

as someone said earlier they are intelligent people not neanderthals

I read an article saying that MJ had fallen in love with a waiter and they used to meet in dodgy motels. The journalist who reported this said he had seen photographs proving the waiter's story, however he did not have them published with the article.

I read another article which was interview of one of MJ's bodyguards. He claims that MJ had been seeing a woman with whom he was deeply in love for the past ten years.

His first wife, LMP, gave an interview in which she claims the sex between them was very good indeed. (Of course, being gay doesn't stop a man from giving a woman pleasure, just means that he doesn't get anything out of it.)

Anyway all of that to say each story is as believable as the other. What's the likelihood that the truth will ever be known?

Seriously though, I haven't read or heard any speculation from his family. If you have a link, I'd be interested to see. Ta.

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

hi, blackstar - there are so many stories, it's hard to know what to believe. maybe he was bisexual. i guess in the end, i'd care that michael was able to be loved and held and shown romantic affection, whether by a man or a woman.

i don't have a link to the family story. i do remember that back in the 90s when he was going through that court case, the one with the first little boy, i heard latoya on radio saying that one of her brothers called michael, &quot;that f****t*.

They are more likely to show displeasure, but only becomes physical if something else is the cause. Like you owe them and don't pay and such.
