Happy Birthday, Michael!

Michael Jackson joins fellow 80s icon Madonna in turning 50 today, and GMA got to talk to the reclusive King of Pop about his life so far and what he looks forward to in his "golden years" on the eve of his big day.
On Looking Back on His Past Career:
- “I am still looking forward to doing a lot of great things, so that’s hard. I think the best is yet to come in my true humble opinion.”
Considering he hasn't put out new material since 2001's Invincible, we're extremely curious to know what he's got in mind for the future!
On the Happiest Moment in His Career:
- “The happiest? the recording of the Thriller and the Off the Wall albums, that meant very much to me and seemed to be received so beautifully by the public and the world. You know, I enjoyed it very much.”
On His Favorite Artists:
- "I love James Brown. Some of the younger newer artists – I think Chris Brown is doing wonderful and Timberlake. I really admire what they are doing.”
On His Children:
- “I am letting them enjoy their childhood as much as possible. I really do – I let them go to the arcade and go to the movies and do things I think that comes naturally. I want them to get to do things I didn’t get to do. I get pretty emotional when I see them having a wonderful time, when they are on a ride and they are screaming and they are happy and they are running. It makes me emotional.”
And although Michael may be fifty now, he's apparently still capable of coming up with ground-breaking stuff like when he blew the world away with the debut of the moonwalk in 1983.
- “People see some of the things I do and say why don’t you show this to the world, people don’t know you do these things! Well, maybe I will.”
Wouldn't it be awesome to see Michael make a comeback at fifty?
Although we'd love to just see him living a normal life at fifty!

This pedophile freak loves James Brown because he stole all his moves from him. To hell with Wacko Jacko. He's a child molesting piece of garbage and he should be rotting in a prison cell for his crimes against children. Hopefully he won't be polluting this world much longer.
He is probably going to celebrate by butt-slamming a young male child.
LOOKING AT THIS ARTICLE AND PIC MAKES ME HAVE GAS AND WANTTO TAKE A SH*T
Is he going to have one of those big birthday cakes that a little boy jumps out of wearing a skimpy outfit?
YES IT WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP EM COMIN MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off The Wall was a great album.
yes, he's a freak in his personal life as most genius's are.
but he's an awesome performer and musically gifted. i'd love him to release another album.
He can't sing for shit and can't play an instrument. All he can do is grab his crotch and spin while giggling.
MJ is a genius.
Too bad some people are too blind (and idiot) to see that.
1:32, you've been to one too many of Wacko's "sleepovers". He's an insane freak whose career ended a long time ago. He's little more than a joke to most people. Pedophile piece of trash is all he is.
Happy birth day Michael...
you're the king of pop
everybody knows that you're an innocent man but they have no life!!!
Michael Jackson is a creep and there are lots of performers with way more talent than him. He once was a handsome black man. He has a serious mental problem. I worry about is children.

Happy Birthday Michael! You're amazing and we LOVE YOU!! Cannot wait for the new album! xxxx
Let's ignore the low-life, frustrated pieces of scum in this thread, shall we.
Happy Birthday to Michael Jackson, he deserves all the happiness in the world. Good on him for taking care of his family.
People who do not know Michael have already crucified him...So Sad...Michael has got no chance in the world because of the way the press has treated him...how words have been distorted...He is a very gifted person...I wish him well not only on his birthday but always....There will always be detractors...People who just want to put others down...IGNORE THEM...Just be the gifted person God made you to be....YOU ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL KING OF POP...everyone else are just copycats....
do i really have to out you flat bat.
when i said no-more jacksons for you i did not toy.
shit you must be scared i don't normally give warning do i?
i fwighten.
my favourite part of you batters had to be court & jumping up on the car, dressed up as what i still don't know. never seen anyone ever wear that outfit at any court ever. do remember batters you were late for the actual hearing. so jumping on the car was clearly the most repsectful towards the law the courts, every victim of child abuse act that you could do. who doesn't jump up on their car roof & dance how flighty of you before a court hearing. how funny was it all to you as funny as afternoon tea.
michael jackson & behind the mask little boys don't like being touched. one day those girlfriends of those little boys will hurt you.
you may have paid off that bully head juror who died how conveniant but monkeys talk, you know that.
the government are making a brown boy white scum said as he bounced me on his knee & i thought like the others i'll getcha. & i will.
no more jacksons for you.
it is hilarious bush & batters, you go girls. the illumanti do not have a dish wish of course not.
ok now i'm convinced
he's got a snap on nose
you can see it on the bridge of his nose
MJ you're a scary lookin dude
Now let's ignore the disgusting the foul writings above. MJ you're God. Just keep going. Once you rise, the foul speakers will shut their mouth for fear of being crushed by us - your fans.
People who are still slamming Micheal Jackson, forget what a generous soul he is and some of the good things he has done. For example all the time he has given to charities. The world has not been kind to him and the media has brutalized him. But he's stronger and better than all of you!
I think it's sad.
Sad to how blind, stupid, ignorant people really are. Have you ever seen Michael doing all of these things few people are claiming? You haven't! Then why are you telling these bullshit stories? Have you ever just sat down with the man, talked to him about everyday things? I have. And let me tell you, he is nothing short of weird, or anything else. People treat him like a monster, without knowing anything about him. That's a shame. When you really get to talk to him you realize that he could never hurt anyone.. He is very generous, sweet, and loving. Just simply pure. And trust me, Im not the only one who knows the truth about Michael - he is just very, very misunderstood. That's it.

Unbelieveable!
People who call Michael Jackson pedophile are stupidly ignorant and viciously malicious! Can you read the court case files first before believing trash?
Read Aphrodite Jones' book, it will teach you some manners and will slam the truth in your faces.
Stop reading tabloids even if thats the only thing you can afford! If your child was raped, why would you start asking money before making sure he goes to jail??? I know I wouldn't, because if he goes to jail, I still get the money anyway so why settle for the money first???
He is a VICTIM of Gold Diggers-- that's sadly the truth! We keep on forgetting he was a multi-billionaire out of his own blood, sweat and tears--Shame on people who extort money instead of working hard! I hope that blood money they took from Michael Jackson cause their families years of bad luck!
The man dedicated his life to his craft and has donated over 500 MILLION DOLLARS OF HIS OWN MONEY to children's charities to help sick children--WITHOUT the press knowing until now that he died. I dont even see Oprah doing that, if anyone here could even donate 10,000 USD right now to charity or at least help ONE CHILD find a liver so he can live, I would be very surprised! And yet we stand here judging this man as if we are such great people--wow!
He toured the world doing hundreds of concerts and most of the proceeds he gave away to charity, just like that. This went on even before the allegations started, he did that even while he was on the Jackson 5 group--he was the only one who gave his earnings at tours to charity! Imagine the work he had to go through to finish a round of 60 concerts each time he toured and all of that money he made, he gave away to help others after making people happy at concerts--- THAT'S SERIOUSLY HARD TO DO!
What he did was too great to be an act so grow up and stop being a crab! Michael Jackson deserves ALL THE GLORY!
