Michael Jackson described Adolf Hitler as a “genius orator” in a taped interview, it has been claimed.

The singer, who died in June, was apparently convinced that he could cure the dictator's evil.

He made the claims during a series of taped conversations with former friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, which have been published in a new book.

"Hitler was a genius orator,” Jackson was quoted as telling the Rabbi.

"To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman and he was."

In the recording, the Rabbi then asked: "You believe that if you had an hour with Hitler you could somehow touch something inside of him?"

Jackson replied: "Absolutely. I know I could. You have to help them, give them therapy, teach them that somewhere, something in their life went wrong."

Boteach, 42, recorded more than 30 hours of interviews with Jackson, according to The Sun newspaper.

In other conversations, Jackson apparently spoke about Madonna, Princess Diana and the killers of schoolboy James Bulger.

  • OK, i'm lost. what exactly is wrong with what he said about adolf? could someone explain it please ... or is it just the media trying to make something of nothing by writing what he said in a negative light?

  • There's nothing wrong with what he said. He didn't say Hitler was GOOD, just that he had skill at what he did. That's a fact, not immoral, but devoid of moral judgement.
