I can't believe he said those things about someone who was a part of his soul.

I don't think he was an asshole. I think he was being honest. The Michael that he knew and loved during that period was no longer. I don't think
he's angry about it, he's just stating the facts. It's hard to watch someone change like that.

There is actually a pill or it can be done in injections that will whiten your skin. It's called Glutathione. Some people with vitiligo who have alot of
bad patches use it. My sister has vitiligo and it's a real source of anguish for her. She covers the patches of white up the best she can with make-up but
she wears longs sleeves and pants all the time. Michael may have used the glutathione to turn all his skin white rather then have the patches everywhere. Thats
probably why he used an umbrella since the non pigmented skin makes you very susceptible to skin cancer. I doubt he used chemical peels to obtain the
whiteness.

First of, I am a huge Michael fan and always have been but it would be a lot more believable that he had a skin disease if he hadn't altered his face so
much. I don't believe he had it, but that's neither here nor there.

Has it ever came out why Quincy quit working with Michael after Bad?
And those were some harsh words. But it seems people who knew him don't have as many nice things to say about him as people who just knew him through music and interviews. |

from wikipedia After the Bad album, Jones recommended Jackson to New Jack Swing inventors Teddy Riley and Babyface so Jackson could "update" his sound. |

LMFAO at you people who are saying "He's an asshole!" "He must not of liked Michael because he wont go to the funeral!" "How dare
he say this!"
Quincy has known Jackson for years and years and he's a no bullshit man. He said everything people were afraid to say. Do any of you know Michael Jackson?? I think I'll take the word of someone who has been by his side for almost 40 years.

Like I said in the other thread, he kept it real. The press was hard on Michael, but sometimes he brought things on himself. And he lied all the time about
things that were so obvious. So I don't think Quincy was being mean, he was just speaking his mind.

Look at Michael's kids? What about his? All of his kids are biracial, which is totally fine. Wonder why he would say such things so soon after his so
called friend's death?

Quincy doesn't know anything. To talk that way about someone that just died....I know he's probably just senile but shit.

Quincy doesn't know anything? He knew the man, you didn't.

i cannot imagine speaking about my friend that way, especially one who just died a week ago. but i think you get the measure of the man when he says he
won't be going to the funeral because it would disrupt his travel plans.
he's just an arse. |
