“natural eunuch”
Or maybe not so natural. It is very possible that at the onset of puberty, MJ’s “handlers” saw their meal ticket about to evaporate and started feeding him female hormones to preserve that voice. (I am a voice teacher and coach, and this barbaric practice was actually DONE during the Rennaissance, only with a KNIFE, if you catch my drift) This would explain a lot. Just a theory, of course.
Welcome to FreeRepublic, the good site.
Welcome....Also music teacher....One of my students years ago was a real late bloomer...Dr said his voice would never have changed without treatment....
I’m with you, MJJ voice has been altered by someone who wanted to keep it high. It would also explain his lack of interest in having a sexual relationship with his wife.
If that's true, then he would have been a eunuch, and therefore, I'm pretty sure, not driven to sexual desire, homosexual, pedophile, or otherwise. No jollies for the eunuch, not even twisted ones. I am one of the only people in the world, let alone on FR, who believed there was a real possibility of in his innocence of the child molesting charge. I just did, it was gut-felt. No, I'm not a Jackson fan particularly, but did pay a buck at a thrift store for a video "history" TV special of him because he was such an amazing dancer, and I know personally how heavily eccentric really driven, disciplined creative types (and Jackson was all of that) can be.
Funny, it has occurred to me often over the decades that Jackson was a eunuch -- but it never occured to me to even remember, let alone consider, it in his child molestation trial. I believed then, and still believe, that the trial was all about extorting money out of Jackson on the part of the kid's mom. No wonder he settled -- perhaps he'd rather have had half the world thinking he was a pedophile than all the world to know he was a eunuch.
He was a damned good dancer. Weird, but a good dancer.
Several of us were talking about his “issues”. A few of us think that he may just have been so mentally and emotionally abused as a youngster that he never grew up. He lived a life longing for a childhood he could never have had and never would have. He went to great lengths to try to “live” as a child in a mans world. He underwent surgeries to make reality his attempts to stay a kid. This screwed up life he “inherited” led him to use anti-depressants and pain killers. His only real pleasure was music and he worked at it to become what he was, artistically. The “real” world he kept at bay and because he was perceived as being a freak, he made himself a target for those who couldn’t accept his emotional peculiarities.
Do you recall during one of the molestation trials that the police took pictures of Michael's genitalia? Prosecutors wanted the pictures brought into court, the judge ruled against.
They took the pictures because the boy's statement commented on a 'blemish' on Mj's genitalia. Wonder if the blemish might be a scar??
