I used to be a real fan of MJ. But then he morphed into a plastic albino that was hideous to the eye. His peculiar behavior and the secret nature of his children were shameful. I feel sadness for the 3 kids who lost their "dad" and only hope that they can recover from being a part of his strange world. I'm sure that they will always have "issues" with the environment they were raised in. MJ's music was masterful, but he certainly is NOT anywhere close to a role model!

His family is now showing their true colors and the handling of the will and estate will be a circus. It's a true tragedy, but life goes on. There are still some celebrities who I feel are worthwhile to put on a pedestal and display the type of behavior that you would want children to imitate. Michael Jackson is NOT on that list.
