He only had two songs I liked, Thriller and Billie Jean. Other people did a better Billie Jean than he did. How in the world did he sell $2 billion?

Blanket? WTF?

It gets even weirder. The child known as 'Blanket', is actually named Prince Michael - while the older boy child is named Prince. Brothers. With the same name.

And if you ask me, not a one of those children have a single atom of MJ's DNA.

He should have died in prison for his sexual abuse of children.
