"One consolation is that Jackson’s appeal is fading, and very quickly. I believe the scandals damaged him to the point where now his is merely seen as another tainted celebrity."

I would like to believe that, but it doesn't appear to be true. So many teenagers who weren't even alive when Michael Jackson really deserved the "King of Pop" title absolutely worship him now. His brand is soaring out of control, and I don't see it stopping.

I disagree. Did you see any tributes to him Friday or yesterday? I sure didn't.

I can, it’s a matter of giving it time. Just because he isn’t completely blank from the media doesn’t mean people aren’t as hyped up as they used to be. It likely will fade by degrees, and take some time.
