"Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It's not nice"
About this Quote
Then he does something disarming: he doesn’t litigate the facts of his life, he asserts personhood. “I have a heart and I have feelings” sounds almost childlike, and that’s the point. It’s a refusal to play the sophisticated PR game of counter-narratives and strategic ambiguity. He’s asking for a basic moral reset: before the mythology, before the gossip, there’s a human body that can be bruised by language.
The phrase “I feel that when you do that to me” turns media coverage into a physical act, as if the nickname is a shove, not a headline. Jackson is also exposing the double bind of fame: the public demands access to the person, but treats the person as an object. “It’s not nice” lands with understated force, because it’s smaller than the machine that’s hurt him - and that mismatch is exactly what makes it sting.
