* I don't think I would pay $1 to see that person perform.

* In my opinion, Michael Jackson's
career is over. After watching him self-destruct these past years, it
would be a farce to see him get on the stage and put on a highly charged
show after seeing him as he just recently was viewed during his court
appearances. How can he go from someone who is in a drug-induced state
due to pain killers to someone who can dance and move around the stage
performing as he once did. Even if he could get back to the entertainer
he once was (highly doubtful), I would not pay even $25.00 to see him
perform. Guilty or not guilty, he has lost all his credibility and has
shown the world what a odd person he is. Thanks for the
opportunity to express my opinion. Diane McDonald
* I would not pay for
tickets to see Michael Jackson in Las Vegas. Irregardless of my opinions
about the recent verdict I never liked him as a performer. My feeling is
that the generation who idolized Jackson has grown up and moved on. I do
not see him as a long lasting musical icon and would not even consider
seeing a show in Las Vegas, there are to many better shows to see. Linda

* Absolutely no way. I will
never support that child molester. He should retire from show business.
His days of glory are over. Kathie Bachman
* NO!!! I feel he has lost his
credibility and pizzazz as a headliner. Perhaps in a smaller venue. He
does not command top dollar anymore. He lost his American fan base and
appeal. Why he is still the "king of Pop" in foreign countries is a
mystery. I guess it is because he is an American and they like things
American. I would spend top dollar to see a better act than him.

* Who are we to throw the first
stone? Was He PROVEN GUILTY? We appreciate Michael Jackson as a
performer and WOULD pay to see him. Annie F. Las Vegas,
NV
* There is no way I'd pay 1 cent
to see this sick puppy. Sheila Leduc, Alberta Canada
* I would NOT go see M Jackson (
IF THEY PAID ME $1000.00 To Go HE IS S I C K ) Bob Miller
* Yes I would. Michael
Jackson has been found NOT GUILTY - which still makes him a Mega Super
Star. My opinion is that he ranks under the same category as Mike Tyson
to the degree that no matter what Tyson does - people will still pay to
see him fight. I feel the same is true of Michael Jackson - no matter
what he does in life - people will pay to see him. After all, he is and
will remain so until proven guilty - A Super Mega Star - The King of
Pop. And now, most of all, I would pay, to see for myself, if he
can bounce back and do what he does best - Entertain the Public with his
Music and not all the drama we have seen the last decade. Jacqueline

* I wouldn't pay anything at all
to see Michael Jackson perform. He is a creep. I wouldn't let you pay me
to see him. Debbie Adams
* I would buy tickets for his
show...we feel that he may be a little different, but that's not a
reason to not see him perform and we were glad he was found not guilty
of those ridiculous charges. Patty Gero
* I'd rather see Bubbles his
pet monkey. Watcherboy
* It is interesting to see
the plethora of negative response. As for me, I still believe in the
justice system and that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
Apparently, Michael is being judged by the public as guilty regardless.
I would pay to see him. As many people would pay to see Kobe Bryant,
Nick Nolte, Robert Downey Jr., Glenn Campbell, Dennis Rodman, etc. etc.
Vegas shows with Michael will sell out as their are less self righteous
people than your poll would indicate. Bill N. Las
Vegas
* Michael Jackson BELONGS in Las
Vegas! Elvis, another performer with plenty of idiosyncrasies has
his own museum here. The Rat Pack (by impersonation) is still going
strong. ONLY IN VEGAS can something like this be embraced. You can bet
there are still plenty of fans that would pay exorbitant amounts of
money just to SEE Michael Jackson even if he were not performing. He is
still talented. And he will never be forgotten as a music icon in his
lifetime. Eileen Mac Mullen Coopersburg PA
* Yes I would go see Michael
Jackson perform ANYWHERE, I'm sure he is innocent, Money talks any
celebrity could caught in the same trap, Michael is a fantastic
entertainer and we need to see more of him ,YES YES YES We would go
spend $200 for his show. Lavinia Soldinski Bonne Terre
Missouri
* No way. can't stand the little
boy. He needs to stay home and play with his self. G.J. Smith
* Would I pay $200 to watch a true
legend of music? There are few individuals/groups I would and Michael
Jackson is one of them! His music and his performances (as well as his
videos) are recognized all around the world as being of top-quality and
the energy he provides is beyond imagination. Whatever the rumors etc.
are about the man, the performer is worth every penny! Roy CCR
* Pay to see Michael Jackson
perform? I've seen enough of his performances on the nightly news!
(For free by the way!) I wouldn't go see him if it were FREE! If I
wanted to waste my time in Vegas I would sit through one of the numerous
timeshare presentations. At least I could walk away from that with
dinner, show tickets and some gambling money! Tammy Turnbill
Tipp City, Ohio
* No way, if I wanted to watch
someone who appears to be a middle-aged woman perform, I'd request Liz
Taylor, then Michael could come and be her back up performer.
Michael Jackson and sunk to low to really make any kind of real come
back, and doesn't seem to have kept himself conditioned to really pull
off a truly Michael performance. It would be better for him to not
embarrass himself with what would be obvious mediocrity. Linda
* I would pay the price if I had
the money. Michael Jackson is one of the top entertainers in the U.S. I
believe many would pay the price. Michael Jackson in Vegas - right on!
Freda Roth Prince Frederick, Maryland
* No way jose! And it
has nothing to do with the case and him showing up in p.j.'s in court. I
have seen enough of him over the years and don't dig his music anymore. Pia
- Las Vegas NV
* Not a Chance in ____! I would
not even pay $20 to see Jackson play (with himself, as he does all too
often) in a casino or anywhere else. He should be in Jail performing for
his fellow inmates on a nightly basis. Dan Michigan
* The answer is definitely Yes!
Even though he's a bit off, and what mega famous super star
isn't?...Michael Jackson is an amazing performer, and my husband and I
agree, it would be awesome to see him in concert. My husband and I were
married in Las Vegas last year on July 30 and one of our wedding songs
was Michael Jackson's "Do You Remember The Time", so it would have a lot
of meaning for us as well to see him. So if he ever does come to perform
in Las Vegas, we'll definitely be there! Thanks! Heather

* No, I wouldn't pay to see him
since he comes with too much baggage these days. I would however go to
see him if I won tickets somehow. Just for the curiosity factor.

* Absolutely not! I would
never knowingly contribute financially to Michael Jackson. Regardless of
what the verdict was in California, and regardless of the fact that the
victim's mother was out for monetary gain, I do FIRMLY BELIEVE Michael
Jackson is a child molester. It's not normal for a grown man to
want to share his bed with children. Shawn Fechner San
Antonio TX
* Nope, don't think I would.
Feel bad for the way he is being treated, but he's becoming too much of
a circus act to be enjoyable anymore. Roxanne Davis
* Why would I want to pay
$75 - $200 (US) to see Michael Jackson in a show? He looks freaky
enough, and with all the media coverage and tabloids covering his
scandals, there is more than enough of him shown. Now, if they were to
pay me from $75 - $200, I would still have to consider whether it would
be worth it to waste my time like that (especially if you can get $125
for a 90 minute presentation). Thanks, and keep up the good work
on your newsletter. Wingo Siu
