Leaving Neverland
In the wake of Leaving Neverland, a documentary describing, in depth, Michael Jackson's alleged paedophilia, the BBC's Cherry Wilson asks whether the late performer's legacy is now ruined. Personally, I think that happened while he was still alive. Off The Wall and Thriller are undisputedly classics that defined an era. Bad wasn't so much bad as meh!
, and it was the last of his work that I bought. Everything after that was a downward spiral.
It's a pity that Jackson's accusers, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, waited so long after his death to come forward. As it stands, Jackson cannot defend himself, put his side of the story, or face justice…so this amounts to nothing more than chipping away at his reputation. It's a cheap shot, and it stinks.
As if Earth Song wasn't enough. (SMH)
