48. Wow, I would like to see more pictures. Not really that it was MJ's more about the house. We all know know its going to be turned into a graceland in a way its kinda sad and in a way its kinda cool. I think most of us at heart still want to be a kid and we bought into the same dream he did when we bought his albums...

Now saying that we all know he took it to far. I don't know if he did it or not and really it was still creepy even if he didn't. Its just sad that all that money couldn't buy him happiness. My friend who grew up a few miles down the road was telling me about how he would hold a midnight shopping spree at toyrus every month.

I wished he could have got the real help he needed. I seen his interviews with Oprah and others and when he brings up his dad. It makes you wonder more what happened when he was a kid. The reaction in his eyes and him skipping a heart beat shows he isn't BSing about it. I have been there and my dad was no better.

People talk crap but they have no idea whats its like. When you finally get away there is only three ways you can go. You can turn out just the same or go like MJ and just nut up. Its hard for me to keep my cool when someone gets in my face. Took me many years to control my temper. I also hardly drink or anything just because of him. I think thats the hardest part of the pain. You sit back always walking away from a fight or worry if you had to many beers. Hell I would have gone down the same road if I was thrusted in the spot light. He couldnt even take a crap with out it being on the news.... f that....

49. With all of the wood floors, brick fireplaces and wallpapered walls, the interior of the Neverland house looks like a replica of the Darling's house from the Peter Pan movie.

50. TMZ U GUYS R THE BEST!! KEEP COVERING MJ STORY IN DETAIL...THANKS :)

51. I'm at a loss of words after seeing those photos.... I'm a huge fan and I guess I expected somrthing different. He was so colorful and vibrant to all of us and I guess I thought it would have been I dont know brighter. I'm not going to trash him by any means but I could see the sadness and lonliness in it. and the zoo and theatre and the control house.... its as if he built all of it knowing someday when he was gone it would be a tourist attraction. it is dated as for the interior. I can only guess he had colorful rugs and paintings. It left me the same feeling I had when I visited Graceland for the first time. Kinda weird not what I expected and dated and lonely feeling. Graceland if you've never been is very small by todays standards very low ceilings and the jungle room was dark wood every where. Ive seen fancier and bigger houses in Springfield,Ill. for all the money he spent on that place I guess i just visualized different. I'm feeling at a loss

52. I can't figure out why someone would keep paying to keep up this place and pay $100k a month to rent a place in LA. $100k a month would pay even the biggest mortgage easily.

ps It looks like people'shouses did when I was a kid. Like someone decorated it in 1977 and never updated it.

53. House is stunningly beautiful. Like an old English cottage. I love the beams, dark hardwood, rounded windows and doorways. Michael was very happy there for awhile. That is, until the vultures landed.

RIP Michael....

54. The house is beautiful, but very dark. My main reason for commenting is that it is so easy to see that racist jealous haters are making most of the negative comments. Although, MJ escaped conviction of any crime, the poor fellow built for himself a prison far worse than what most of our worst criminals live in. His prison was not just in his mind, but also, in the physical realm. I just pray he has found the peace and love that eluded him in life. Think about it!

55. What a cold and depressing house. It would make a good set for horror movies. I guess it would make a good museum also.

56. #36 - UnderMySkinner. For someone who says "proven that tons" were paid off - I'd like to see that proof. Given there's only been one payoff, which is not actually all that uncommon in general among celebrities (though charges are odd). The second trial, the family not only tried to extort money from several other celebrities (which they testified and brought the documentation to prove it), they claimed they were KIDNAPPED for God's sakes. When testimony shows they weren't even there, and timelines show at some points, Michael wasn't even in the freakin country. And when the boy who got paid off tried to leave his father and move out at 24 (father who initiated the proceedings) last year, he was BEATEN DOWN WITH A 14LB WEIGHT. I'm a parent - you DON'T take paydays when your child is involved - you want JUSTICE. NOT money. If I did want money, I'd wait til the suit put that jerk in jail, then filed a civil suit... but no - the only proceedings the first family did, was a CIVIL suit - i.e. a MONEY suit that finds no liability or criminal charges...

BTW, if there were sooooo many scared into keeping their mouths shut - how did YOU hear about it? Pulease.

For someone so hung up on "proof", you sure as hell don't have any, or have a flippin clue about anything. It's comments like yours, and people like you that tore him down, while already being kicked around for having money.

58. Barren means empty, you tool.

Posted at 3:12PM on Jul 1st 2009 by Dallas

59. 40. Who wrote this, Max? It's not BARREN, you semiliterate. Its simply free of residents or furnishings. It's a house with floors, walls, woodwork, EVERYTHING completely intact. Therefore, it's not "barren" any more than a vacation home is "barren". It's simply an empty house that is not presently in use.

Get a book on fourth grade vocabulary.

Barren means empty, you douche bag. Not whether there are walls and a floor.
