WOH....stop the bus....go back to my previous post with the links and read it before further commenting. Also do your own research....but there were more than two families....so I am not quite sure why everyone who loves WACKO JACKO on here doesn't seem to know more about this....

Return to my post with the links....the Psychiatric report is in there.....and other things that are very clear.....you can find lots of reports as to the actual minutes of the trial...

I am not sure who has court transcripts.....let's be real here....just because a police report was ascertained on Rihanna....doesn't mean all court transcripts from years ago are online....there are reports by major news networks and papers of what evidence was introduced and who testified...

Why wasn't he charged with owning this child pornography?......It was taken from his home in 1993....before this criminal trial and taken for another case....not the one he was criminally tried for....but somehow they were able to introduce it but not charge him....the defense by the way....claimed they were art books...give me a break...

I know some of you love this pervert and adore him...but at least open your eyes...and I have continually said.....I think he is a pedophile but the victim who took him to criminal court was not believeable and his Mother was a golddigger....I also believe....if you are sexually abused by a man who was then....the biggest star in the world....taking him to court is not an easy thing to do.....because your identity will become public and it will be life changing....think if it was your kid...

The parents are guilty too who allowed their boys to stay over and sleep in the with Michael....don't get me wrong....but go back to my links...read them and then comment....if you would have read my links in the first place....the psychiatric report from who is considered the first victim is posted....obviously you didn't bother to look at them because the pervert can do no wrong....a horrible case of celebrity worship...

The whole MJ being an "alleged" paedo thingy has put me off him. But i sometimes listen to his music, not because i like him but because the song is catchy! I still don't think the verdict at his trial wasnt neccessarily the right outcome but hey. lol.

Completely agree worpler.

Can't be doing with this R'n'B lite that's in the charts at the mo. It's not even R'n'B, it's pop!

I think it probably makes a huge difference if the celeb has committed a crime against another human.

If you started disregarding every celeb for doing drugs then the showbiz world would be in trouble lol.

Whitney has attacked around 100 paparazzi, I know they're scum but can be classed as another human... maybe?!

Who you still endorse star, even though they've been found guilty of a crime?
How serious would the crime have to be for you to not defend the star and class it as a ''mistake''. And if you boycott, one star who's been found guilty of crimes should you boycott them all.
I've boycotted stars because I feel if you're buying into there stuff and they do a serious crime and get found guilty, your endorsing them to do it again.
If you listen to stars who do things offence, on the radio or on t.v and Youtube is that different to endorsing them by buying there stuff, or is it the same?
If you wouldn't enorse a star, why? If it's complex why?
To be honest, its a difficult question.

My feeling is that if i liked the music, i probably would not boycott it. This is because I buy my music to listen to it and enjoy it, not as an act of support towards the artist.

I can see why people feel that someone such as Chris Brown does not deserve sucess, but if he releases a song that i want to listen to (which hasnt happened yet), i will probably listen to it.

Once you start basing your music choices on the actions of the artist, it ceases to be about the music and more just a popularity contest, which is too prevelent in the music industry as it is and is destroying it by letting uncreative and uninnovative songs have sucess based on the act's name alone.

My sentiments exactly! And entertainers arent usually your normal kind of person. A lot of them are high school drop out, do drugs, and have a lot of skeletton in their closet, just unheard of. Its been said that CB hit Rihanna before, but to the fan, he seemed like a very clean wholesome person until this incident. SO like you said, its stupid to out these artists in a moral box. I never do! As a matter of fact, I expect the worst from them.

I understand you but the thing is, if a artist you supported abused kids, wouldn't you be endorsing their actions if you continued to buy their stuff, and funding their court cases. I feel I should not give money, to padeos, murders, women beaters. Any other offence seems minor to me unless someone apart from the artist is killed. Maybe, I'm silly to boycott everyone who commits these offences but I see by not supporting an artist who is an
1. Padeo
2.Murder
3.Women Beater
you are discouraging those who are famous from doing it, in fear their career will die. I just feel if I listened to the music of women beater singing a love song, they are being hyprocritical.
Maybe the reason why we as people care so much were music is coming from instead of wherther the song itself, is good music or not, is because of the celebrity culture that has risen in years to destroy people who do the unthinkable, and judge them on them as person rather than their music. I don't know, I was bought up this way. I learned that you can't put your own morals against music, because that's just stupid, at the same time I don't want to buy the album of someone who's killed a person and fund their court case.
Maybe, I'm expecting too much from stars, when I think they should not, murder, abuse kids, or beat up their partners.
But then I ask this:

Is their a difference between listening to an artist's music and then buying it?

Well, that's your opinon. But accept the fact others choose not to support anyone who:
Murders.
Abuses kids.
Is a women beater.
Most people don't support drugs but don't consider that as reason to boycott someone. It's reasons like those above.
Also, I have never heard of Rhianna or Beyonce, murdering, abusing kids or beating anyone up.

I wouldn't go to see a Roman Polanski film. Don't understand how he's acceptable in society

I still buy Chris Brown's music, because I genuinely do enjoy his albums. If he's ever allowed back to the UK I'll probably go see him on tour as well because I love his music.

Does that mean I like him as a person? No. I can't really stand him, but I'm not going to let the producers/writers of his music suffer by illegally downloading just 'cos he's a knob.

I personally would never buy an album of someone who I can't stand. When you listen to his 'heartfelt' songs (I haven't listened to any of his albums but presume they have some slow,'sad' songs on there?) do you just listen to his voice and appreciate it or are you thinking all the time "you're such a twat?"

Depends on the crime. I would probably stop buying their music, because I wouldn't want any of my money to go to them, but if I liked a record of theirs, I'm not going to lie and say I don't.

I don't really think about his personality, tbh. Just like when I'm listening to any other artist I'm not sitting thinking about their personalities either.

The only things that really make me decide not to listen to someone ever is pedophilia/child abuse/animal cruelty probably... just because I can't not think about it when listening to a song.

Every other crime... I don't care much at all.

I hated Chris Brown anyway, and I hate him more after what he did.

Although I like Beth Ditto and still buy all of Gossips music, I feel a bit hypocritical but

Fair point, but seeing them in concert? I couldn't bear to see anyone that I couldn't stand in concert, or listening to their music
