Michael Jackson has been making headlines again.
His weird and over the top life style was the subject of a documentary on Monday night. It showed his unusual lifestyle, for instance how he:
Loves to climb trees like a kid
Dangled his baby son over a balcony
Often invites children on sleepovers at his house in Neverland
Denies having had plastic surgery on his face - only on his nose
Hides his children's faces with masks when they go out
Spent millions of dollars on one shopping trip.
These are just some of the odd things that Jacko got up to.
But what do you think of the pop star?
Is he mad, bad and dangerous to know, or just misunderstood?
 I think that everyone is being very unfair and horrible about Michael Jackson. I think that everyone should leave him alone and get on with their own lives. He would never hurt anyone or anything. All the newspapers think about is making money and they don't think how many people that they hurt in the process. I like Michael for his music and singing and no one is going to change my views about him. Kirsty, 11, Bournemouth
I think that about him being mad is stupid. He's just trying to protect his kids by covering their faces.

He is crazy and his kids need an better dad than him
Stacy, 13, Sutton
I think he is a dangeorous mental man. If he had dropped that kid, he would be in jail.
Sami, 12, West Midlands
I think he is misunderstood, and the only reason why he had plastic surgery on his nose and face is because his dad used to tease him and he had really bad pimples!
Amber, 13, St Albans
I think he maybe misunderstood in some cases.
But in most others he's a nutcase.
Having kids sleeep over in his room ? Thats not normal!
Jay, 14
His unfortunate childhood has clearly damaged him. Also no one can really understand what it must be like to be harassed by the public from such a young age. He never really had the opportunity to grow up normally.
Clare, 14, Godalming
Michael Jackson's far from normal, but isn't it his individuality which has made him such a successful performer?
Ellie, 14, Godalming
I think that Michael Jackson has had a very hard life. He has been treated as an adult all his life, and so has no chance to have a proper child hood. This I think explains some of his odd behaviour. It's time we gave Jacko a break, because after all, it could be the press and media driving him insane!
Ben, 15, Cheltenham
That twisted stuff he said! Yeah, Jackson seems a bit odd, but it makes sense when you look at it from what happened to him as a kid. He was an adult when he was a kid, and now he IS an adult, he wants to be a kid. Give the man a break! Fiona, 15, Birmingham
He's a complete mentalist! Alan, 12, Norwich
