高一时候的。
Before the report begins, I wanna remind you: Don't blink, coz I'm gonna show you a fast-paced PowerPoint. But don't worry; I'll play the clues twice. Our topic today is "Tell me who he is”. And - guess begins.
(省略介绍关键词部分)
Since all of you know stuff 'bout MJ's music, I'm not going to say more about it. I want to tell you the reasons why I love him. First of all, he's intelligent. Most of people admit that he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. And He is kind and sweaty. I never see him shouting at others or getting angry, it seems he always spoke in a gentle way. He also did a lot of charity work. But just when I was doing the report, I realized the main reason why I love him. That is, He's very strong, strong in spirit, strong in soul.
Why do I say he's strong? I'm gonna show you the reasons, something which had totally destroyed his career and life. There are two cases. One is in 1993, he was charged with child sexual abuse when holding Dangerous World Tour. The other one is in 2003. Tell me, I want to know, do you think Mike is guilty? If so, hands up please. Then you guys do me a favor; don't mention it in front of me. Thx.
In the first case, the plaintiff, Evan Chandler, who charged Mike with molesting his son, Jordan Chandler, threatened to go public with the evidence he claimed he had on Mike before the case. He wanted money. Michael was asked to give $20,000,000 by the father, but he refused. Then the tragic of Michael's fall in career and life began.
On July 2, 1993, in a private telephone conversation, Chandler was tape-recorded as saying,
There was no reason why he (Jackson) had to stop calling me ... I picked the nastiest son of a bitch I could find [Evan Chandler's lawyer, Barry Rothman], all he wants to do is get this out in the public as fast as he can, as big as he can and humiliate as many people as he can. He's nasty, he's mean, he's smart and he's hungry for publicity. Everything's going to a certain plan that isn't just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. I've given him full authority to do that. Jackson is an evil guy, he is worse than that and I have the evidence to prove it. If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over.
I do think this one did sort of prove that Mike is a victim of a jealous father who wanted money eagerly. In the same conversation, when asked how this would affect his son, Chandler replied, "That's irrelevant to me ... It will be a massacre if I don't get what I want. It's going to be bigger than all us put together ... This man is going to be humiliated beyond belief ... He will not sell one more record”. This tape was revealed at that time. However, the press, the media never reported this. I don't know the reason. And similarly, there was a book which supported Mike in 2005 written by a reporter, who is very interesting. She used to believe that Mike is guilty but after she did some research on the two cases, she changed her opinion completely. Then she wrote the book, which, she said, all of the publishers were unwilling to touch a pro-Jackson book because that was not interesting or attractive.
And Michael also made statements in 1993 and 2003. Let’s watch the video in 1993. Not interesting or funny at all.
At last, Michael gave the guy money which we don't know the exact number 'til now. The decision was suggested by one of his lawyers. I think this probably is his worst decision ever made in his life. But I can understand, you see, years of trail would ruin a popular singer's career. People would have forgotten him if he continue the case maybe. You see Mike is a money making machine to the leaders of the music company.
But one does, one gets, the others follow. In 2003, Michael was charged with the same stuff again. This time there was a little difference: He fought to the end and won. Although almost all the people believed he was the criminal, not the victim. It’s really sad. I do think he’s innocent. Well, he had been a father by that time. You can see that he was much stronger and calmer than the man in 1993.
And after Mike's death. Evan Chandler committed suicide on November 5, 2009, in his luxury apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey. He killed himself. Did he finally feel guilty? Did he finally realized that it was him who ruined a man's life, only because his desire for fortune? Finally regret? I don't know.
I admire him for his strength. If I were him, in that situation, I would have killed myself, although I'm a catholic. You know, there’s no way for a person who killed himself to get into heaven. Imagine that, all the people around you don't believe you, your friends betrayed you, even some of you families don't put trust in you, just imagine that. I feel...like dying.
Some old fans tell me, around that time, being Mike's fans was hard, and tough. Whenever you mentioned Mike, the others would say, "Oh! That freaky? That weirdo? The man who loves little boys?" Oh my gosh, this kind of words really hurt! Then a lot of fans left Mike.
I'm the fan, I'm not in that situation, even I'm not in that time! I felt hurt when hearing these words. Then what about Mike? He was the person of whom all the medias, all the newspaper, all the people made fun. He was the centre of all the hurricanes of rumors. It was said by his mother that in 2005, he weighed sometimes only 40kg.
He is strong, anyway. Of course you can say that you think he is guilty, the so-called strength only because that he is a smooth criminal. I don't care, that is your opinion.
I do think a man with such a strong soul deserved to be loved, and I do think I'm the luckiest one, because I got the chance to know him, to love him.
That's all, thank you.
