Ja.

Vor allem, wenn man Sachen liest wie: Ihm wurden 1 Mio Dollar für den Auftritt in Japan versprochen, und am Ende hat sich aber die Nation of Islam davon 800.000 Dollar unter den Nagel gerissen und Michael blieben 200.000 Dollar.

Wie konnte man ihn nur so immer wieder über den Tisch ziehen?

Michael ist mit "Man in the mirror" auf Platz 1 der US - iTunes - Charts.

Apple - iTunes - iTunes Store - Charts - Top 10 Songs

Als ob das noch von Belang wäre.

LOS ANGELES – Janet Jackson arrived at her brother Michael Jackson's Holmby Homes estate Saturday, where moving vans arrived earlier in the day.

Janet Jackson, wearing dark glasses, drove up in a Bentley and went directly to the estate. About eight movers had taken dollies and packing equipment through the gates. It wasn't immediately known what was being taken out.

Most of Michael Jackson's family members had gathered in their Encino compound, where they are contemplating funeral arrangements and caring for his three children. They are feeling confused, upset and angry by the lack of information about those who were around the pop superstar in his final days, a person close to the family told The Associated Press.

Jackson's family wants to know more specifics about what role AEG, the concert promoter that was staging his 50-date concert series at London's 02 Arena, was playing in his life, said the person, who requested anonymity because of the delicate nature of the situation. They also want to know more about the role of his advisers and representatives, who they believe were put in place by the promoter.

AEG spokeswoman Natalie Whorms in London had no comment Saturday.

Jackson never communicated to his family who he had in place to handle his business affairs, the person said, adding that they were told by the singer's phalanx of advisers that he likely had a will, but it may be many years old. The family is distrustful of what they are being told — but they are determined to find out more, the person said.

"There are decisions going down without the family being in the loop; it's becoming an issue," the person said.

Randy Phillips, AEG Live president and chief executive, said earlier Friday that it was Jackson who insisted that Dr. Conrad Murray, a financially troubled cardiologist who was with the entertainer when he collapsed Thursday, be put on the tour payroll.

"As a company, we would have preferred not having a physician on staff full-time because it would have been cheaper without the hotels and travel, but Michael was insistent that he be hired," Phillips said. "Michael said he had a rapport with him."

Jackson collapsed Thursday at his rented home in Los Angeles. Police seized Murray's car in search of evidence, but have insisted that the doctor has been cooperative and do not consider him a criminal suspect.

Records reveal years of financial troubles for Murray, who practices medicine in California, Nevada and Texas; his Nevada medical practice, Global Cardiovascular Associates, was slapped with more than $400,000 in court judgments, and he faces at least two other pending cases and several tax liens.

The person close to the family said that while there were reports that the singer was distant from his family, Jackson spoke with his mother, Katherine, quite regularly and his father, Joe, had seen his son shortly before his death. His other eight siblings, including fellow superstar Janet, may not have talked to him recently but were not estranged.

Much of the family was holed up Friday inside the Jackson family's Encino compound, including his three children, according to the person, who described them as doing "pretty good."

"I don't think it's fully set in yet," the person said.

The pop star left behind three children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12; Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7. The elder children were born to ex-wife Deborah Rowe, while the youngest is his biological son, born to a surrogate mother.

Rowe and Jackson married in 1996 and divorced in 1999.

No family members were present in the mansion when Jackson died Thursday, the person close to the family said. In the 911 call released by fire officials Friday, an unidentified caller tells a dispatcher that Jackson's doctor is performing CPR.

Asked by the dispatcher whether anyone saw what happened, the caller answers: "No, just the doctor, sir. The doctor has been the only one there."

Coroner's officials said they released Jackson's body to his family late Friday night. The family is still trying to determine what kind of memorial to have for Jackson and when, and are debating between the idea of having a private ceremony or a grand celebration open to the public, the person close to the family said.

Jackson appeared to have suffered a heart attack, another person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity told the AP on Friday. A heart attack is a blocking of the arteries that deprives the heart of adequate blood and can cause cardiac arrest.

Jackson's brother Jermaine said Thursday that it was believed the pop singer went into cardiac arrest, an interruption of the normal heartbeat that can be caused by factors other than heart attack.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office, which completed its autopsy Friday, said there were no signs of foul play or trauma, but determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks.

Phillips said AEG Live held multiple insurance policies covering cancellation of the shows, and that some time in February Jackson submitted to several hours of physicals that the insurance underwriter insisted upon, and that Jackson passed them all.

"We had pretty good coverage, but a lot of it is going to depend on the toxicology results," he said. "We need to know what the cause of death was."

Michael ist in sämtlichen Verkaufscharts (itunes, amazon etc.) auf den vorderen Plätzen, und wird in England z.B. schon am Sonntag wieder mit "Number Ones" auf Platz 1 der offiziellen Album-Charts stehen.

Jemand hat ausgerechnet, dass alleine gestern weltweit über 10 Mio MJ-Tonträger verkauft wurden.

Jackson's Doc -- I Am Not Responsible

Posted Jun 27th 2009 2:39PM by TMZ Staff

Dr. Conrad Murray -- the personal physician to Michael Jackson -- is certain he is in no way responsible for the death of Jackson.

TMZ spoke with one of Murray's lawyers who told us Dr. Murray will meet with the LAPD today at 4:00 PM. Murray's lawyer, Matt Alford, says Murray is NOT considered by cops to be a suspect, and at this point it is not a criminal investigation.

Alford tells us cops want Dr. Murray to help piece together a timeline of the day's events.

gehts mir alleine so, oder finden noch andere die aussagen von grace...merkwürdig...?

btw - sie ist seit november 2007 nicht mehr für mike tätig, nicht erst seit letzten november.

so mancher satz klingt für mich sehr suspekt.

Ich würde mir sehr wünschen das du recht hast und das alles nicht stimmt !

Allerdings klingt vieles für mich auch glaubwürdig. Dass er sich stur gegen Meinungen von außen gestellt hat, kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Er wollte halt nur Ja-Sager um sich herum haben - auch wenn er wusste, dass er vielleicht Fehler begeht.
Ich sehe jedenfalls keine schlechten Absichten hinter Grace`aussagen. Sie will wohl einfach eine Last, die sie mit sich herumtragen musste, loswerden.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The doctor who may have been the last person to see Michael Jackson alive plans to meet with police Saturday afternoon along with his lawyer, an associate of attorney Ed Chernoff said.

The meeting between is set for 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET), said Matthew Alford, an associate of Stradley, Chernoff and Alford law firm in Houston, Texas.

Alford said Dr. Conrad Murray, who is represented by Chernoff, was upset but willing to cooperate.

"It's a human tragedy and he's upset obviously over the loss of Mr. Jackson. But he is not a suspect in the death of Mr. Jackson," Alford said. "We intend to cooperate fully."

Police, who met briefly with Murray after Michael Jackson's death, had been trying to set up an interview, Los Angeles Deputy Police Chief Charlie Beck told the Los Angeles Times on Friday.

Arab world mourns death of "Muslim King of Pop"
Muslim world grieves for Michael Jackson

Rumors of a Muslim pop icon
The pop world's most famous entertainer who stayed in Bahrain as a guest of Sheikh Abdullah was rumored to have become Muslim
The pop world's most famous entertainer who stayed in Bahrain as a guest of Sheikh Abdullah was rumored to have become Muslim

CAIRO (Al Arabiya)

Michael Jackson's sudden death at age 50 provoked an outpouring of emotion from Muslims and Arabs who paid tribute to the pop star whose conversion to Islam and brief residence in the Gulf helped cement his popularity among a global fan base.

Despite ruling the charts and dazzling audiences with trademarks like the "moonwalk" in the 1980s, Jackson’s career was overshadowed by his physical transformation and multiple allegations of child abuse. But his fans seem to prefer remembering him as an entertainer who transcended cultural boundaries and became one of the best-selling artists of all time

Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Isa Al Khalifa, the Bahraini prince who had a falling out with the “King of Pop” in 2008, publicly mourned his death as a tragic loss to the music industry in a statement in the Gulf Daily News.

" He had many faults but he came to the Middle East and felt at home here. I respect his cross-cultural awareness which knew no bounds "
Bahraini Michael Jackson fan

Jackson moved to Bahrain with his children after his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges and lived there for a year as a guest of the royal family. But after disagreement over plans for a concert comeback fell through his benefactor filed a lawsuit against him for $7 million that ended in an out of court settlement in 2008.

Yet Bahrainis, many of whom were accustomed to glimpsing the reclusive Jackson sporting a black women’s abaya, a black over garment,, connected to Jackson on a cultural level as many felt he was one of them.

“He had many faults but he came to the Middle East and felt at home here. I respect his cross-cultural awareness which knew no bounds,” a Bahraini fan said on Facebook page dedicated to the star.

“I grew up with Jackson’s music…he was my window to the world of pop culture and I grieve for his sudden death,” Haritha Moulid from Bahrain, said on a Remembering Michael Jackson Facebook page.

" It's hard to overestimate the impact Jackson had on the world in general, much less the Muslim world "
Zahed Amanullah, editor of altmuslim

"It's hard to overestimate the impact Jackson had on the world in general, much less the Muslim world," Zahed Amanullah, associate editor of the London-based altmuslim.com, wrote in an article on his website.

"Like young people elsewhere around the world, many Muslims simply loved Michael, for his gentle persona, his raw talent, or the pop culture seed planted in their subconscious,” said Zaid Shakir, a renowned American imam, adding that he hoped his faith “cushioned” his fall.

"Michael was an icon, a pain-filled, troubled icon, and like many of comparable stature before him, and inevitably many after him, his fall was sudden and unexpected," Shakir wrote on his website. "Hopefully, the tears he cried in the privacy of his oftentimes lonely world, tears described by Smokey Robinson as those of a clown, shed when no one’s around, had dried," Shakir said.

Rumors of a Muslim pop icon

Jackson’s appeal to the Arab world went beyond his musical legacy and smooth dance moves amid rumors in 2008 of his conversion to Islam, the Arab world’s predominant religion.

Rumors that Jackson died as a Muslim intensified when Jermaine prayed for Allah to have mercy on him. "May Allah be with you, Michael, always," the brother said in a statement available on You tube.

In early 2007, Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson, a Muslim and the family’s official spokesman, announced that Michael would embrace Islam. Last November press reports said that Jackson had formerly converted to the religion.

Jermaine Jackson explained that it was the experience of touring the Gulf that brought his late brother into contact with Islam and that the singer found Islam’s anti-racist universalism resolved some dilemmas about culture and race that Jackson had combated all his life.

" Contrary to persistent press rumours, I was not at any kind of conversion ceremony for Michael Jackson "
Yusuf Islam

Yet Jackson the Muslim remained shrouded in mystery and at best a rumor. Muslim folk singer Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, denied press reports that he had attended Jackson’s conversion ceremony.

“Contrary to persistent press rumours, I was not at any kind of conversion ceremony for Michael Jackson. Nor, I believe, was Dawud Wharnsby or any of the others mentioned in connection with the story,” Islam said in a statement on his website, adding, “I hope that he finds inner peace and can return to making the kind of music that has inspired generations.”

Nonetheless, Muslims were keeping an eye out for signs of his faith in death that may not have been visible in life.

“If anybody hears about a janaaza prayer (Islamic funeral) being held for Michael Jackson, Allah yarhamuh (May Allah have mercy on him), please pass it along. If it happens, I encourage all who are able to attend in full Islamic dress,” a Muslim fan requested of others on a Muslim listserv.

Michael war wohl einfach viel mehr kind als man dachte .. ich für meinen teil zumindest.. Ich hätte nicht gedacht das er SO leichtgläubig gewesen ist er tut mir so leid

Michaels Mutter hat vor einigen Jahren mal gesagt, dass der größte Fehler, den sie in seiner Erziehung gemacht hat, war, dass sie ihn niemals auf die Welt "da draußen" vorbereitet hat. Michael kannte das alles nicht. Er konnte wohl nicht unterscheiden, wer ihm was böses will und wer nicht. Ich glaube, dass wir uns das gar nicht vorstellen können, wie Michael die Welt gesehen hat. Sicher war er fähig zu unterscheiden, was richtig und was falsch war, aber ich glaube, in Bezug auf seine Person war er damit überfordert. Und das haben die Leute gemerkt und haben ihn ausgenutzt.

Zitat von badwoman

nunja...ich bin da etwas skeptischer.
alles in allem mäögen teile ja stimmen, darum gehts mir nur teilweise.
das was mir am meisten komisch vorkommt, ist der punkt, dass sie JETZT, 2 tage nach seinem tode meint, sie müsse solche sachen erzählen.
nichts passiert ohne grund...that's what i mean...

Mir kommt das auch komisch vor...
Wir werden jetzt vieles zu lesen bekommen und es ist da nicht leicht ein gesundes Urteilsvermögen zu bewahren (erst recht nicht aus unserer realen Distanz und emotionalen Nähe zu Michael). Aber gerade jetzt sollten wir hinterfragen und nicht alles sofort fressen, was man uns da vorsetzt.

Hallo zusammen,

habe mich in diesem Forum angemeldet weil mir einfach einiges zu weit geht und weil ich mir da dann doch mal ein wenig Luft machen möchte.
Zunächsteinmal muß ich sagen das ich kein "Fan" bin wie es hier einige andere zu sein scheinen. Ich habe Michaels Musik gemocht und muß sagen das er als Künstler ein Genie war, wie es wohl keinen zweiten mehr geben wird. Als Menschen kann ich mir Michael gegenüber kein Urteil erlauben, weil ich den Menschen Michael nicht kannte. Genau wie die meisten hier wohl auch!

Was mir jetzt, wo ein MENSCH verstorben ist ein wenig aufstößt ist die Tatsache, das man alles öffentlich hinterfragen und kommentieren muß.
Klar war Michael jemand aus dem öffentlichen leben, aber hat er deshalb keine rechte auf eine eine Privatsphäre und vor allem aber ein recht auf seine Ewige Ruhe????
Es kann in meinen Augen nicht angehen das hier Bilder von einem im Sterben liegenden Menschen gepostet werden oder Bilder von einem Vater der seinen Sohn verloren hat und diesen TRAUERNDEN Vater dann auch noch verurteilt weil er lachend und Posent auf den Bildern zu sehen ist (Jeder trauert ja bekanntlich anders!). Wenn ich sowas sehe und lese kommt es mir fast hoch. Ich möchte hier niemanden verurteilen oder diskriminieren, aber gerade hier hätte ich mir von einigen ein wenig mehr RESPEKT und Feingefühl vor der Privatsphäre Michaels und dessen Familie erwartet. Springt doch nicht auf alles an was die von euch verteufelte Presse so schreibt.

Als außenstehender kann man nur schwer erahnen wie es in einigen von euch aussieht.
Auch wenn es schwer fällt ist es eure Pflicht loszulassen und einen geliebten Menschen gehen zu lassen.
Gerade jetzt solltet ihr als Fangemeinde zusammenrücken, denn in euch und mit euch wird die legende Michael Jackson auf ewig leben.

Möchte auf diesem Wege noch nen lieben Gruß an meiner Schwester nach München schicken^^

Kaum ist Michael Jackson gestorben, scheuen sich die Medien nicht, ihn als einen bedauernswerten Freak hinzustellen. Spiegel Online geht am weitesten und veröffentlicht einen Artikel mit dem Titel "Ein monströses Genie". Was rechtfertigt es, einen Menschen Monster zu nennen, zumal kurz nach dessen Tod?
