    ^ I’m with you the man was sick and just because he released some mediocre songs and did some dancing he has been deified. Sad sick world we live in that people treat this freak with such reverence and respect. None of which he deserves. His ass should have died in jail. Where is the respect for his little victims.

    its a little shocking to me that michael jacksons death would take up half the the space in a well known paper, while farrah fawcett was given only a small blurb compaired to jacksons. it was bound to happen just as it was bound to happen to anna nicole. who are these doctors that can overmedicate their patients with hardly a slap on the wrist. i take medication myself for depression and anxiety, and prescribed the proper dosage for each. jackson was prescibed numerous medications for the same illness. and at 125 pounds i know that wasnt given any concideration. some one like you or i would probably be dead a long time ago. id be very interested in knowing what is going to happen to this doctor and whether or not his license will be taken away, as it should be. just the same as anna nicoles doctors license should be taken away. the way these doctors get away with this over medication its just a matter of time before we loose someone else, whether it be a celebrity or one of our own loved ones

    I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT MJ IS GONE. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER KING OF POP. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND YOU WILL BE SURELY MISSED. PEOPLE SHOULD REMEMBER THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT HE DID, NOT NEGATIVE THINGS.NO ONE IS PERFECT.MAY PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS BE WITH HIS FAMILY.

  4. Katie

    I loved Michael Jackson with all my heart. All of his music brought me, my family and friends so much joy. God Bless you Michael. Your were a blessing to all who knew you, and I am sorry you were so tormented by the dirtbags who just wanted a piece of you.

  5. jorie

    i know farrah died and that is sad to but come on she didnt accomplish half of what michael did and she knew for a time that she was going to die that is why she made a doc for all to see people have had more then enough time to come to terms with her passing michael came out of nowhere a TRUE shock to the whole wide world i bet if u went to africa they know michael more then farrah so what she not getting the news cover her fans want she been getting it for years regarding her illness and impending death. let michael have his time people spent years talking bad bout him let him have this

    ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND I, OUR CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO MR. AND MRS. JACKSON, MICHAEL’S CHILDREN, HIS SIBLINGS AND THE ENTIRE JACKSON RELATIVES. I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK MICHAEL JACKSON FOR LOVING HIS RACE ENOUGH FOR NOT USING THE “N” WORD,THE “B” WORD AND THE “H” WORD IN HIS MUSIC. I ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD MICHAEL JACKSON’S PERSONALITY AND NEVER DOUBTED HIS IMAGE DESPITE HOW THE MEDIA AND THE HATERS TRIED TO DEFINE HIM. REST IN PEACE MY DARLING MICHAEL, WE SHALL NEVER FORGET YOU.

  11. teresa

    Death is painful,to the ones you leave behind.My heart goes out to Micheal’s family,especially His children.You will never be forgotten and now you are truly at peace,no one can ever hurt you again.I love you!!!!

  12. charlise

    I grew up on the music of the Jackson 5 then your music, i do remember going to high school after your album Thriller came and seeing guys and believe it or not some girls dress up as you. and no matter what anybody says on the other websites i will missed your music, singing and dancing RIP Michael you are home with the Lord

  13. Barb

    Mr.Jackson deserves the respect and needs to be left alone. Saying cruel things is not going to help him or his chldren. Mr. Jackson’s music was great and his dancing moves and just the way he did his videos. I personally grew up with him and reeally did not lisen to him as a kid but when he did the real musci like thriller and black and white complewtely got my attention. Micheal had some hard times just like the rest of us and i hope he rest in peace. God Bless him and his children Barb

  14. suzanmoscicki

    MICHAEL deserves everyones respect and the person who wrote mean things on here ~ has no Idea what life is all about !!!
    I THINK YOU NEED TO BEAT IT !!!!!!!

    WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH MICHAEL !!!!

  15. Martine Moreno

    I was in a state of shock when I heard about Michael’s death…I still can’t believe it. He was the greatest of all, his music will live on. My heart goes to his children and family. I will never forget you Michael. XxXxX

  16. Susan

    As I sit hear I am listening to Michael’s music and the tears are streamimg down my face, I will never forget Michael, he was a sweet soul put on this earth by God, and has shared his gift to us in his music and love.. He was/is a true Icon in this life and beyond.. for those of you out there who feel the need to judge Michael in your own harsh words, just remember one thing, when you stand in front of God on your judgement day, I pray for your sake that God will try to understand why it was, you laid your judgement down on your fellow man.. because there is not a one of us out here who hasn’t sinned in one way or the other.. Michael may/may not have sinned in his life but that is for God to judge not you the haters.. Michael, may God keep you in his glory of heavan and you fly with the Angel’s, because as far as I am concerned, you were an Angel here on Earth.. May god bless Michael and his family.. We will always love you.. and miss you alway’s..

    i was 11 when i bought THRILLER and that is when i first fell in love with music and dancing. i could not wait to watch MICHAELS latest videos on friday night videos. later i always defended him when those horrible accusations came about. i hate what Katie Couric wrote” sad and strange life” – whatever!!! it is sad he is gone but he had an amazing life and inspired many. he may have been ecentric , but we are all individuals- strange is an insult. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY YOUR MOTHER AND CHILDREN- GOD BLESS – OUR THRILLER IS IN GODS ARMS.

  18. John Isikong

    I am convinced that Micheal Jackson was a chosen one sent from the luminous height to help humanity.just like other prophets that were sent to us in the past .He may not be a leader of any church or religious group but he does preach to us through his music about courage,love,peace,kindness and harmony.
    Brother Micheal i give thanks to the almighty for your life with us.Let’s all keep praying for Micheal’s soul untill he gets home to paradise where he truely belongs.

    Death has always caused alot of unexplaineable things in the lives of those it touched.Michael Jackson though a public figure was yet a very private person, pls l plead with his family to allow him be buried asap. Let us give him that respect he gave himself when he was alive and bury him as he is and would always be Michael Jackson ,our super star.
    Having a second autopsy or giving detailed information of his person or his death would do no further good. It does not matter how long one gets to live or how one dies, all that matters is how one lives.Michael U lived well, U used your God given talent and touched the lives of people around the world. Rest in peace. May God give your family and children the fortitude to bear their loss.Pls bury him asap..R.I.P .May His gentle soul rest in perfect peace.May God also have mercy on his soul and grant him eternal rest.Amen.

    My condolences go out to the entire Jackson family, to his beloved children and all those who truly loved him.

    Michael you will forever live in our hearts as the “KING of POP”. You have inspired an entire nation of people and a generation of people to come. Your music, your signature moves, and your humanitarian believes for the good of those in need, are the markings you’ve left here on earth. For those who loved you through the good, the bad, and ugly can sincerely say, you will truly be missed. You’ve left a scar on those who embraced your talents, and respected your unique ideas that lead you to become one of the greatest.

    Michael you can rest in peace knowing that you indeed changed the world and made it better. You’ve provided food for those who hungered, clothes for those who had none, smiles to those who lost there ability to smile, and a lifetime of memories to those who admired you. This is one of the many things Michael stood for, and what the media fails to mention.

    My advice to those with the ambition to make it big. Keep in mind, you can never become big enough because the very people who made, you can also break you. Many new artist will come and go but, Michael will forever live through his music. For there isn’t, nor will ever be, one like you. We love you. Always and forever. May you finally find yourself at peace knowing you’ve left our world with much to be greatful.
    Thank you for the music.

    R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson.

    Its almost a week to the day of MJs death and I am still not over it…I am so upset about this, I can’t even think straight. I don’t even think that I’ve listened to any other type of music except for MJ since last Thursday. just reminiscing of my sister and cousins going to battle over who can dance like MJ best…Who can do the moonwalk best…My growing up was Michael Jackson…You Will Forever Be Missed!! Such an impact you made..God Bless You and Your Family..All Is Well Now, You’re W/ The Angels…Love You ALWAYS MJ..
