^^^ good point!
Personally, I'm the opposite. I think everyone expects for someone to send a message from the dead to be like 'OMG its great up here and I know pretty much the meaning of life so no worries!" or the extreme opposite "I have to avenge my death by any means necessary and I'm so miserable, and i have so much unfinished business!" But the reason I believe this more so than the others was that it was neither of those things - I didn't get the sense that he was miserable at all, just purposeful and concerned and maybe a bit frustrated at first. But he wasn't, obviously, in complete bliss either. But as he said - he was okay. He was completely fine - which is good enough for me. It was more complex than extremes and the fact that its being discussed to such a degree and not completely dismissed (there seems to always be a sense of "...well maaaybe" lol), makes me very impressed - even if it was faked! lol
There are patterns that are consistent with his physical - that I definitely agree with you there. But to me...they were never so completely contrived where its like ' no way.' MJ often repeats his patterns of speech, just like anyone else, and the stuff that did make it seem Michaelish seemed like legit things that he would carry on from his personality - again if you believe that carries on. So I can't really dismiss it just because it sounds like typical MJ. Having seen other psychics who have claimed to talk to MJ and really try to pass it off as him - you can tell, they just took the 'caricature' of what they think MJ might be like and put it on camera. This just didn't seem caricature-like to me. I can't really describe it tbh. But like I said, I'm not 100% about this girl, but I think if she IS faking this ...she spent a hell of a lot of time studying him, not just in the way he speaks but just in...the way he may react to things, to write a quote that would go viral because it was THAT convincing to a lot people that it was genuinely MJ, and conjuring up some pretty specific details to validate it. And so far, I'm not sure what she's had to gain for faking it because I don't think it gave her THAT much publicity (especially years later) that she didn't already have before (as she's contacted other celebrities supposedly) and she's not getting people to pay for talks with Michael.
So who knows! Interesting to talk about though.
Oh and to address this:
I think that can be attributed to the 'everyone is different' concept. MJ as always been hush hush about lots of things. Even during the 'sony sucks' stuff, he was still very vague about the specific things going on - even if he was crying foul. And I don't think there was any need for MJ to point fingers about his death, I think he probably already knew that Murray would take the fall - rightly so, but that really wasn't the issue. Again, maybe it wasn't just about his death. And if that's the case, then what good would the public be really in that situation - especially when a lot of people didn't believe Bonnie anyway? Or in contacting the spirit world? I am under the impression that he wanted to tell specific things to specific people and perhaps keep as much control over the situation as possible during that time. He can't really control what happens (or have a sense of control) if he blabs whatever he wants to say to the public - especially if the problems he faced required more than just naming names (besides Murray who was obviously taking the fall for it).
...then there's the other theory that he was trying to spare Bonnie as much as possible with all of this being as selfless as he is. Or maybe he didn't have faith in the public sphere to do what needs to be done in the right way (which I think is plausible. I can't say that Mj would trust the public domain very much).

Oh and to address this:
I don't know to me a spirit should be more vocal in what they want. My dream about my dead dad was very direct. He said what was bothering him and what he wanted to stop, and what he said was based on real facts. I guess I can't get over this big hush hush MO about not saying who killed you and why if you know. He is acting like a spy from a black and white detective novel. It seems to me that these dead people who feel they have been unjustly used or killed what to show you what happened. They will lead you and show you all types of disturbing things to show you what happened. Either Michael did not trust her enough to tell her, did not think she would help, or some other reason.
