Why "Thriller" Was the Worst Thing to Happen to Michael Jackson

  I'm so sick of this narrative that Michael "betrayed" Paul by getting the Beatles catalog. Paul had the choice to get it back and he refused to do, Michael even made sure to see if Paul was interested before giving his own bid to buy them. That's all on him not Michael and it's annoying that he still feels like he was cheated.

  You can also say that it was the worst thing to happen because it also made him even more lonely.

  Mike owned a total of 4,500 songs at that time. Not just the Beatles, but Elvis, Little Richard, Cher, Sly and The Family Stone, and many others .

  So they all signed contracts and then when the record became bigger than they expected they then wanted a bigger share than what they had already contractually agreed to? Got it! 🤷🏿‍♂️

  Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on "Beat It". He was offered money or points on the album, which would have been millions of dollars for Eddie. But he said no to both. Eddie Van Halen just loved to play music. RIP to EVH and MJ.

  Paul didn’t get outbid, Yoko didn’t want to buy it, so they dropped out of the bid. MJ spoke to both Paul and Yoko before hand. I think Paul thought MJ would give it to him, but he didn’t.

  I feel like things went downhill for Michael after he got burned in the Pepsi commercial & even though he puts on a great show...touring was not good for his mental health.

  In 1992 he gave 50.000 dollars to a children hospital in Rotterdam the Netherlands. In 1997 he let his crew buy presents for a few thousand dollars and he gave these presents to sick children in a hospital in Amsterdam. Michael Jackson skipped his childhood completely. Due to his own trauma he could not accept any child suffering in the world. In his lifetime he did spend over 500 million dollars of his own money to help sick and poor children all over the world. Fake accusers and the media made it all sexual. It only proves how sick and evil the world is! Michael was a saint, a holy man who is burned down due to pure evil.

  It's crazy how much credit Quincy Jones took from MJ with Billie Jean.

  Thanks for the release. I think everyone got a good salary, especially Quincy.  The fact that "Thriller" became a phenomenon does not mean that Michael was obliged to pay everyone a lifetime bonus!
