sorry guys, but the dude touched a minor (and potentially minorS). his greatness on stage or in the studio cannot erase this for me.

Yep. It's easy to guess who here has kids and who does not.
I don't think it has anything to do with that (I have a daughter, obviously). I think it has to do with a given person's tendency to rush to judgement, and a given person's fear of the strange. No, I am not assuming Michael was innocent. I just refuse to assume that he was guilty.
I really like the image, although I think a little more contrast and a lighter tone on the little girl would be better.
As to MJ .... he was a genius when it came to offering something original and spectacular to his genre of expertise. He set the pace for pop music. He was a leader innovator not a follower or a poser.
Unfortunately there is a fine line between genius and insanity ... Michael went off the deep end during the past decade or two and put himself in harm's way in the public pervue. That did not shed a favorable light on him. Both in his personal life and public persona.
Regardless of his guilt or innocence, only those who were present know for sure. His public behavior did cast doubts as to his private actions and motives. For the fan in me, it would be by far better to believe he was wrongly accused, but the father and grandfather in me has doubts.
