what's up?

James Brown loved him. Stevie Wonder (who is also MJ cousin) loved him. Jackie Chan was mad he missed a phone call from MJ. Princess Diana was disappointed Dirty Diana wasn't gonna get played cuz MJ pulled it outta respect. Men are crying and passing out from seeing him in concert irl to the damn movie theater seats in present day. Kids are crying cuz they'll never see MJ in concert alive. A freaking no contact Amazonian tribe didn't know about the 1st man to walk on the moon but knew about MJ the moonwalker. The concert in Bucharest has MJ standing for 2 min and 20 secs doing nothing but listening to sardine packed levels of standing fans chanting his name. Paramedics were always expected to be at MJ's shows with stretchers and ambulances cuz of fan hysteria. When a South Korean fan jumped into MJ's arms, MJ sung perfect pitch while holding onto the fan so the fan wouldn't fall to his death when floating over the concert crowd on a moving platform. None of his songs call a woman out her name. He balanced fun happy jams with social injustice awareness. He was the 1st celeb popularizing Make A Wish foundation with sick kids and he did it out of the kindness of his heart. He helped a child find a liver and that child grew up to be a man married with his own family. He helped other celebs who were taken advantage of by their parents like Mariah Carey and McCauley Culkin. He wanted his own kids to have privacy that he didn't have so he covered their faces with masks. MJ would have to shop at night after hours when stores were closed just so he could experience normalcy. He was shy but he very much was attracted to grown women and he didn't kiss and tell like a real gentleman. He even warned Jackson 5 groupies not to sleep with his brothers cuz they would get their feelings hurt by their playboy natures. MJ is the actual greatest artist of all time for changing how music videos are seen, opening doors for Black and other non white artists, was talking about saving children and the world, and spreading kindness especially after how Princess Diana died.

It's a nice parallel to how insecure they both rightfully feel at being forgotten/ignored by loved ones. Hen had a whole birthday forgotten and when she called everyone out on it, they tried to fix their wrong to her bc they truly do care for her. Compared to Eddie, who called out how overbearing and controlling the Diaz grandparents are about winning trophies and Helena not owning up to wronging her son since he was 14 by sucking the fun out of Eddie's ballroom dancing era.

Like Buck, sir, did you forget how you looked when you showed up at Eddie's doorstep in shock and in misery over Tommy breaking up with you? Did you forget Eddie took your phone when you entertained the idea of calling/texting Tommy? Eddie, too, was a recipient of your homemade baked goods madness cuz of how Tommy dumped you. Ofc bestie Eddie would never still be in contact with Tommy cuz he saw how hurt you were Buck, you were hurting bad Buck.

He easily could've said "I'm not attracted to my best friend Eddie. Not physically or romantically. We are purely platonic soulmates."
