Tavis Smiley: What Killed Michael Jackson?

You have to accept and be aware that the fans also have a lot of responsibility in Michael's misfortune. (They did not do it to hurt him, but in the end, they affected him terribly).

The man could't go anywhere without being chased by a human stampede. They didn't let him live like a human who walks, breathes, eats, makes friends, goes shopping, goes to the movies, to the theater, etc., They forced him to isolate himself for his own physical security. That would drive anybody crazy and suicidal.

The fans think that it is "normal" to chase those who admire and force them all the time to smile at them, to dance for them, to interpret the character that satisfies their whims - come on! in other words, fans think of them as their puppets. Do you think that is healthy? Is it valid to violate the privacy and space of another person to satisfy your needs? Based on what law? And then they cry when these tragedies happen, and they look for culprits to point out.

First they must point to themselves, because they judge every inch of the person as if the artist belonged to them. They get into the artist's private life in a disgusting and destructive way. Confuse limit between admiration with fanaticism. And fanaticism to the only thing that entails is to misfortunes.

I hope that, one day fans will be more aware of their destructive behavior towards people of the artistic medium, and learn to set healthy limits, truly respecting the artist without overwhelming them, without transgressing their personal and intimate space, and seeing them as human beings; as we all are.

Michael decided he wanted to work with different producers with different music and sounds therefore he didn't work with Quincy anymore BUT WHAT KILLED MIKE WAS THE TRIAL

This was a really good interview. I'm definitely going to support his work and purchase the book. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent interview. Thank you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Michael became a literal idol. If you watch the ‘92 glasgow concert you begin to realize this man was a idol, a movement, a godlike entity. Michael became an owner of the one of the networks of the industry. Michael’s organization should have grown and gone to self ownership creating his own network. The price though...

This was a great interview,I will be subscribing.

the problem I have is how would you know what he went through in 16 weeks..Its obvious he was getting ready to do the shows. What happen in between I believe he was concerned about his own legacy. Michael was dying inside since those krass allegations. Although he was happy living for his children. His true happiness was trying to please others.

great interview. Renada...what a beautiful young lady! she oozes a cool vibe.

I think a lot comes with your celebrity, he was one of the biggest stars since Elvis. People pull and pull on the entertainer and not the person. We can only imagine what it's like to be him. You can't walk the streets go to the movies with out mobs of people around you. It's drugs on another level.

traducirlo a español porfavor

Man those investigators got a cut from that kids dad. The kid came out and said it was a lie.

Good point. I agree. Split with Quincy Jones was beginning of end. Jones was great influence over him.

Jackson Five songs

When you can't sleep you go to scriptures where Yeshua says peace.. be still..

MJ was pissed about doing Fifty shows he signed up for ten shows and what a hypocrite Travis is using Michael to make money too Let's see if he writes a book about his good friend Prince lol
