How old are you?

[reading_on]

I just realized that we have some really young people on this board. Since I was around to see Michael climb to fame, I feel like an old timer some times.

  Also, it makes me wonder about the perspectives being posted. That could be why so many opinions are different.

  So, I was wondering..How old are most of the people on the board?

Well I just came across this site because of looking up MJ stuff when I started watching his interviews and things after "This is It" came out...I will not say my age here but I was born around the time HIStory came out...so I'm probably one of the younger ones here....not sure if I completely believe Michael is alive or not..all of it is just too real. I do keep up with the topics on here so please do not try to show me "proof" for I have seen/heard enough. so yeah..   it seems like a really comfortable enviroment hear and no matter how much I try to believe he is alive I can't, there are many things that have happened that I believe strange but just as there is no SOLID, UNDENIABLE proof he is alive as there is no SOLID, UNDENIABLE proof he is dead either(except for maybe the newest autopsy..that got me..) It goes both ways. But anyway...back on topic...haha..I'm probabaly one of the younger ones here

oh my...lol.. you ARE young.  I am glad to see that his music was still crossing barriers like that. My granddaughter (dating myself now...lol), who is 4 will come to the computer and bat those pretty eyes and say..."hey.. that's Michael Jackson"...I just love it.

Wow YoungNewMJFan, and one of the most mature!
I completely agree with you.
I like that of not saying age and saying an era  :lol:
I´m around middle Jackson 5 era, let´s say Forever, Michael.

That's so adorable Well, all I ever heard about Michael before he died was, the weird guy with the fake nose, he molests children, bought the Elephant Man's bones, with a bunch of kids making jokes...all that kind of stuff...but then I realized he is just another celebrity with a bunch of hype and actually a better person than any celebrity I can think of off the top of my head. Every morning before school I listen to Man in the Mirror and try to think of away I can change myself for the better. On the way home, I walk, it is my fun Michael time. I just dance on the way home, OBVIOUSLY not as good as Michael, but you know, just for fun. Since the "This is It" movie came out I see him in a different way and yes, I do think it is Michael in the movie, may just be me but I couldn't see anybody else performing like that. Well, this is more than just how old I am but you know, like I said real comfortable enviroment.

P.S. Thanks somekindofsign

dude i was born around the same time as you  :? there aren't many people as young as us, and not many of my classmates like Michael, so i feel like i'm special and yes, you are allowed to believe whatever you want, even if others think different  

[YoungNewMJFan]

That's cool i feel the same way, I listen to my ipod before school and when somebody asks me what I'm listening to I change the song and say something like Taylor Swift XD the people at my school would just NOT understand why I like his music so much now

Lools i do the same thing because they really don't understand why i love Mikey so much so i change it to Nicki Minaj or Lil Wayne because that's who they listen to lools :lol:

[ForeverTrue]

yes, i am 13 also
all my friends know i am like, obsessed with Michael Jackson and they all think i'm just insane  :roll: but whatever, i'm not afraid of hiding anything

[YoungNewMJFan]

Haha well I'm actually 14 but you know.. XD I said around when HIStory came out but actually I was born the year HIStory came out XD (i think) It's just too hard to explain how I've seen Michael go from some weird guy to a really kind person, you know through his interviews (not Bashir :evil: ) stories, and music

[ForeverTrue]

i agree, Michael is a very kind person, and did not deserve the harsh things that were given to him.
including Bashir :evil:

Same with me!!! They tell me what is so attractive about him i always say are u krazii!!!!
I am not ashamed to tell them how much i love him he's like everything to me

oh my gosh me too  :lol: the sad part is though they don't believe he's alive, and so whenever i bring him up just out of the blue (which i occasionally do ) one of my friends just gets up and shouts "HE'S DEAD! GET OVER IT!!" and i shout back "NO HE'S ALIVE YOU'LL ALL SEE" and after that we usually just laugh it off  8-)

I'm the same age as MJ, but still rather childlike on the inside.
