Thought that Kesha vs Dr. Luke would be on here…
50 cent vs the game????
Michael was innocent
Michael Jackson was guilty.
Again?
I did not expect Michael Jackson to get the number one spot
What about the beatles breakup?
And when John Lennon said that thebeatles were more famous than Jesus?
Can you do same but like another…
Michael Jackson was never convicted and had former accusers admit when they were older that their parents told them say those things. Only evidence is that he's a weird guy.
R. Kelly has video fucking evidence of what he did and gets away with it.
Napster fiasco
What about the scandal with Minami Minegishi the member of AKB48 when she was caught dating. She even shaved her hair to apologize.
Its so crazy to me how Paula Deen lost her whole career jut because of a word she said and yet Chris Brown beat someone half to death and his career is almost fine now. If Chris can get another chance why can't Paula?
Michael Jackson is innocent. It's very interesting that convicts who have proofs against them don't get attention but who found innocent never convicted get tortured and bullied. #Fuckwatchmojo unsubscribed already
Michael Jackson was found not guilty tho LMFAO
What about "We are better than Jesus" and the Iranian metal band arrested?
Im gonna pee on on you
Everyone hate music because scandal
Nothing about The Beatles?
why does rihanna hate the UPS Company lol cause they ask what can brown do for you.
Doesn't help that Jackson "settled out of court" aka, "Take this money and go away"
"I say, rollin' around,
sittin' on dubs
cat like eye, was high on shrubs,
Coolin' in my Escalade,
Man I'm paid, I got it made,
Take me to your special place,
Close your eyes show me your face,…" -R.Kelly
What about the time where Justin Bieber was drag racing while being drunk?
I could have sworn this list had been uploaded before
Didn't you upload this video already????!!! WTF????!!!!
Michael Jackson is always gonnna be the king. The King is innocent
AND Chris Brown is still on top
Why should The Dixie Chicks have to apologise for being anti-war?
The MJ scandal was too tragic, it ruined the life of the great 20th century artist. It was invasive, unnecessary and just pure evil. All that was presented was a lust for fortune, self-contradictory evidence, unsound searches and probes, and drug abuse/depression. His career never recovered. Great #1 pick, and I hope Eric Chandler and Tom Sneddon burn in hell for exploiting a legend, AND Jordan.
Michael Jackson case was so confusing No body didn't know if he did it or not.
And as for the dixie chicks they are free to say whatever they want But Unfortunately. It was Very different back. Then sadly it cost them their career they did nothing wrong.
Jackson sure was a ‘Smooth Criminal’. He was as guilty as hell. Why settle out of court if you’re innocent?
Chris Brown has been with women since then. And he is a daddy.
I always thought that he was innocent. And I believe his marriage to lisa Marie was legitimate. Her two older kids were little at the time. I seriously doubt that she would let a child molester near them.
Did you say shocking or boring? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……….
I have nothing but contempt for phil specter and the only excuse for his release from prison is compassionate grounds.
Ewww. Me every time I hear the name R. Kelly!
Rap music today is a sick joke full of horrible rappers with high pitched voices and garbage lyrics. Only thing they have is a dope beat to trick people into thinking it's good. Real rap forever.
The Michael Jackson case may have been big, but it was also utter bullshit. Its far too easy for someone to take a kind natured person, esspically when they are in the public eye constantly, and try and use them for money. Michale Jackson was NOT a pedo. And if you do your facts right, its not hard to find this out, he was not convicted, the case was full of holes, people were using the man simply to try and get money off him. He was full of money after all.
If the Dixie Chicks were to do that against Trump, they would be called heroes.
Top 10 canadian cartoons please! Cmon guys, you're canadian! Give our animation, wich doesn't get enough credit, some credit!!
I knew #1 way before it got to number 10
Where's the Janet Jackson Super Bowl halftime show wardrobe malfunction fiasco?
Ohhhhhh
With Gary Glitter's crimes, it doesn't just end there, look into OPERATION YEWTREE, hope you have a strong stomach
What about Jimmy Savile?!
but shows
I remember seeing 2 Live Crew albums on record store shelves one week, the next…..only the edited clean version.
No 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus' causing the American south to lose their damn minds? It was kind of a big deal.
Hey, Killary makes money to play and get paid.
