  1. Well yes I think that Michael Jackson's songs should be played on the radio because he is dead and all the other singers that have passed away have there songs still played on the radio and still he made good songs. It is kind of unfair to us too that we can't listen to his music on the radio just because they confirmed that he is a pedophile who cares it is not like he can hear us. I also find that this is a bit dumb that they are not allowing to play his songs it is not like when we hear one of his songs we will think of that. No we are not actually supporting him and ya I'm not sure if he is a pedophile or not but anyways they should play his songs.

  2. Mackenzie Montour,
    Michael Jackson was a star his whole life. But every star makes bad decisions, for example Michael Jackson made a huge mistake that made him a confirmed pedophile. But he is still a amazing singer/song writer, he made song to be enjoyed by everyone. Just because someone makes a mistake doesn't mean we should forget the amazing things they did. So yes I think they should use Michael Jackson's songs.

    2. I wouldn't call it a mistake because he knew what he was doing was bad, and he kept doing it, but his should still play on the radio.

  5. Michael Jackson was a very talented person and he deserves to be respected even though he did such a devastating crime. I understand why they would not want to support his music, but he was a very good singer/dancer. My opinion i feel like his music should be played, and I do not think all of those rumors are true, because something like that would not suddenly come up.

  6. i dont think that his music should be played because i think that what he did was very bad and he should have gone to jail but for some reason he was not so i dont think his music should be played because its a bad example

    1. Unknown you're right. He should have gotten to jail, but the reason he didn't was because it was recently discovered he was a pedophile.

  8. I think that is song should be played because he had talent. Is song where good and it will never change even if he is a pedophile or not. The public like is song and they were good people. Is song also don’t talk about him being someone bad and in this case a pedophile. Also there is talent and personality that are two different thing.

  9. I think Michael Jackson’s songs shouldn’t be played because what he did was very wrong. So his songs shouldn’t be played.If someone is going to be a pedophile, then his songs shouldn’t be played. I mean anyone that does that shouldn’t have their songs played or whatever they do shouldn’t be played anymore. Famous or not. What Michael Jackson did was very wrong and he should’ve gone to jail for it.

  10. to be honest i think its fine to play the songs he wrote i totally agree with Laurie Ann because he's songs aren't him. so it would be fine but it wasn't a good thing that he was a pedophile.But he's songs dont define him so in my opinion it would be fine

  11. I think it's fine to play his songs. He's a legend, and worked hard for it, it would like be throwing all his work away. Even though he was a pedophile, he deserves the respect he worked for. Also he's dead so its not like he can do anything. I get what he did was wrong, but lets be honest, would you like it if it happened to you?

    1. I partly agree with you, but he doesn't deserve to be supported. And also, nobody would like it if it happened to themselves, but some people kind of deserve it in a way.

  12. I think Michael Jackson's song should be playing on the radio. He made a lot of good songs and people listen to his music. He is a very talented singer. Which his songs deserved to be playing on the radio. It doesn't matter with the pedophile, a lot of people might have made a mistake and that doesn't matter with the amazing things he did.

  13. Even though what he did is not okay and totally wrong i think he should still be recognized for his amazing work and talent. I think his career an his personal life are two different things and they shouldn't have anything to do with each other. I really enjoy his music and i would like it if they still played on the radio.

  14. He was a very talented man and everyone enjoyed his music. Pedophile or not he still was a great musician. It would be awesome to hear his music on the radio. Even though he did bad things in the past doesn’t mean he should be punished from his music, many many people enjoy his music but someone could get offended because of the things that he’s done in his life but most people enjoy listening to his music. I would love to hear it in my opinion

  15. I think we should still play his songs on the radio. Even though he was a bad person, he was a good musician. His music will always be shadowed by the fact that he was a paedophile, which will naturally make it less enjoyable, but people have the right to listen to whatever they want. Although some people may be offended by his music, most people probably wont. If you don't like the music, switch stations. However I do think, it is important to remember that his music is what allowed him to get away with this crime in the first place.

  16. Alon Cheishvili: I am not a fan of Michael Jackson, but a lot of people like his music. We shouldn't support Michael Jackson for what he did, but his songs should still be played because a lot of people would like that.

  18. Do not get me wrong, I hate pedophiles. They are disgusting. However, I think that Michael Jackson is different. I do not listen to his music, but I do not think he did anything to bad. He may have been a pedophile, but he was nice, and probably did not do anything horrible. His songs should still be played on the radio because a lot of people love his music and they would be upset if they could not hear his songs on the radio anymore.

  19. I think we should still play Micheal Jackson songs because, yes he was a confirmed pedophile but that does not affect his music in the slightest, I never really listened to micheals music because i never enjoyed that style but i still think that its not bad.anyways theres nothing we could do about him being a pedphile, because hes gone now anyways

  20. I think we still could but some people may not want to because of that and I don't even listen to Micheal Jackson so to be honest I don't care about it. But if the person who sang or wrote the song was a pedophile I would still listen to that music because I enjoy it. Than again it is based on the type of person and it would be their decision.

  22. I don’t know what to say. I’ve always loved Michael Jackson's music and I really would like to hear it on the radio. An when I heard about this, I was so shocked it didn’t seem like something he would do. And it would have to had happen a long time ago. So I really don’t know what to say, if feel like they should keep playing the musique because it’s really good but the other half of me is saying not to play the music because he doesn't deserve it after what he did. I’m just not sure.
