I am not trying to start a flame war or troll at all with this post. However, it is something that has crossed my mind and I've read a lot of theories, seen videos, and some of them tend to make sense. I brought this up on a forum one time and was accused of being a troll and even got banned when other posters were allowed to call me names, troll me, and didn't receive any form of a banning or infraction to their account. Of course there is a slim chance of it being remotely true. However, what if and it's a big IF, what if Michael faked his death? Would it be entirely possible or if it just another case of it being similar to Elvis, Tupac, and Jim Morrison? Trust me, all those guys are deader than smoked bacon. |

Really depends on how good his This Is It tour was going to be. There's a chance he does that and then just falls into obscurity. I think some of his bigger fans would have stuck around but the majority would have still had him at the butt of every joke. I feel like once he passed, people started to at last look back at all the good things he did and how he impacted music. I don't think that would be the case if he was still alive.

He could be a judge on The Voice.

He would have been a fascinating person to observe in today's emotionally-charged social media climate.
For all the people claiming you have to separate the artist from the person and willing to look past his seedier elements to enjoy what a revolutionary figure he was in the entire music industry, there would still be questions. I think he'd be a lot like Bill Cosby. Cosby has yet to be proven guilty in any court other than the court of public opinion, but to many, that's all that matters. I think Jackson would face much of the same criticism, that regardless of his legal standing, there were so many accusers and he had such a baffling personal life that people would automatically assume guilt.
Also, and I'll try to handle this delicately, but with how racially sensitive society is, I'd be fascinated to know how today's world would perceive Michael Jackson, a black man who allegedly bleached his skin and apparently did everything he could to become white. Would he be seen as someone betraying his culture, even though he stated how proud he was to be black?
