QTip: thank you big brother mike..
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz: “His death is a shock. I grew up being inspired by Michael Jackson’s music and magic. He is a legend and his music and heart will forever inspire.”
Rob Thomas: “I’m shocked. He was a pioneer who transcended genre and race with the most unique talent and style the world has ever or will ever see.”
Mark Hoppus: “The first album I ever bought with my own money was Thriller. His performance at the Grammys is a milestone in the history of American music. I watched it on TV and spent the next two weeks in my kitchen trying to learn how to moonwalk. This is a tragedy and Michael will truly be missed.”
Diddy: “Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!”
LL Cool J: “Peace to the King. I’m devastated by the passing of Michael Jackson; incredibly sad. He was one of my childhood idols. I salute you King of Pop. You made the whole world Moonwalk together.”
JC Chasez: “Words can’t begin to describe my sadness for the loss of Michael Jackson. I was honored and humbled to have the opportunity to perform with him several times and he had a profound influence on my career. Michael forever changed the world of music and entertainment and I will always remember him for his kind and sweet spirit.”
Bill Werde, Editorial Director Billboard Magazine: “Michael Jackson was one of the most iconic artists in history and one of the top-sellers of all time,” said Bill Werde, Editorial Director of Billboard. “His 13 no. 1 singles on the Billboard charts put him behind only Elvis, the Beatles and Mariah Carey. Around the world, only Elvis, the Beatles and Bing Crosby sold more albums in their careers. Look at the Billboard charts now and ask yourself how many artists wouldn’t be there without Michael Jackson. No Justin Timberlake. No Ne-Yo. No Chris Brown. It’s really sad because now I think most only thought of Jackson’s controversies and legal problems. This guy was about to work to reclaim his identity as an entertainer, and he just lost that chance to change his legacy. He had sold out 50 dates - more than $80m in ticket sales - in London. That’s unprecedented, and it speaks to how much his fans still loved him.”

Michael Jackson was far more than just a ’singer’. I am staggered though that much of the press that reviled him are now extolling him….at least for now. Perhaps the media may wish to reflect on their constant hounding of him and consider whether or not the harrassment and false stories that plagued him somehow contributed to his untimely death.
June 25th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS TRADGY IS THAT MJ WILL FOREVER WATCH OVER HIS FANS , KIDS AND FAMILY . WE SHALL ALAWAYS KEEP HIS MEMORIES ALIVE . MY PRAYERS AND LOVE GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY. MJ WAS A LEGEND A INSPERATION, AND HE SHALL FOREVER BE THAT . HIS MUSIC WILL FOREVER BE A LIVE . PRAY FOR HIS KIDS AND HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO NEED IT . THIS HAS TAKEN EMONTIONS OUT THEY MOST OF US HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE . HE WAS THE POP KING AND HE SHALL FOREVER BE THAT

Michael Jackson was a truly talented artist. This man had been performing since the age of five years old.He traded in his childhood to become the most iconic entertainer of all time.

My heart goes out to Your family especially your kids.Rest in peace Michael your memory will definatley live on and your presence is already missed.

[...] Celebrities React To Michael Jackson’s Death [...]
June 25th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
What they need to do is raise him up. It can be done; it has been done. Somebody call Creflo. It says in Proverbs “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” When I heard I started saying out of my mouth “Micheal Jackson is not dead.” John 14:12. We have the power to do everything Jesus did when He was on earth. The problem is nobody bothers to read the Bible so most people of ignorant of our power. Humans are operating only on a tenth of their capacity. God gave us dominion and authority over the earth. Why don’t we use it. People celebrate death because they don’t know what else to do. They give up. Death comes from Satan. There was no death before Adam and Eve messed up in the Garden of Eden. Satan can put it on, put God can take it off. This is one time it should be done. How? Start praising God for raising him up and thank Him ahead of time for doing it and expect it to happen. Someone needs to speak tongues into his ear and command him in the name of Jesus to breathe. His family should pull on him so God will send him back to us. I watched a man on Daystar who had died and was sent back by God because He said he had to go back because his people were pulling on him too much. It needs to be done. I refuse to grieve… I want to act. Somebody do something. Don’t accept it. Luda call Creflo. Somebody who can get to his family tell them… he does not have to be gone even now. I don’t care about the implications; Michael has more to give and we don’t want him gone now do we?

I´m 35, and as soon as I heard the news I reminded the first day I saw a picture of MJ. I was about 10 or 11, and I saw someone wearing a T-shirt with MJ’s face on it. I knew it was the picture of a famous star. Well, 25 years later I can say that I was blessed because I belong to the generation that grew up listening to his music, dancing with his music and trying to “moonwalk”. Thanks God, I have 3 DVDs with his videos and the “History CD collection”. Sometimes I work as a DJ at a rock and pop pub. On this saturday I will play ALL of his songs and I will give him my humble tribute.
Michael : You´re now in a better place and all we can say is : THANK YOU, BRO. You filled our hearts with music and inspiration.
Maybe you made some mistakes..but, you were human just like we are, and God is the only one who will judge you and I know he will count all of the tears from the BILLIONS of people who are sad and crying ( I am, right now ) because of this gray day.
Rest in peace, Mike. You did your job and God will continue with your task of CHARITY and love. I will pray for your family and for those who received your help and your love.
Now, it´s time for a good song…by MJ, of course.

TO THE JACKSON FAMILY,
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU “GOD HAS CALLED HIS SON HOME”. HE WILL BE MISSED ON EARTH BUT WE WILL SEE AND SING WITH HIM IN HEAVEN.
AMEN.

May you find peace in God’s Hands. You will never be forgotten. The best years in my life thus far were in the 80’s when you were at the top of your game and you were the best at it. Thank you for so many wonderful memories. Love ya Michael and to the Jackson Family my prayers are with you all at this time of loss. Sincerely, Sharon Renee Smith

“Pop king”
Man this news is crazy
the way life goes on
if I died at age 50
that means my life is half gone.
You did us all good
as the of pop icon,
your music filled are hearts
and kept us pumping strong,
you are labeled as a great and always will be
are personal favorate
as the original pop king
We don’t want you to go
but it is ur destiny.
Today we will greive
but forever else we will sing
Your songs that kept up dancing and always on our feet.
Pop locking for the ladies
always kept them fainting.
The fellas wit the curls
And always kept them juicy
We didn’t stop till we got enough, now its tuff and hard to believe
a shocker in life
and we are all left reminessing, people are un-employeed and stressing
still find your music a blessing.
My prayers sent to your family
And from our hearts we are speaking.
Pop will never be the same
with out the pop king.
R.I.P. M.J

Michael Jackson isn’t the King of pop, he is the King of MUSIC! He inspired everyone who listened to his music, he will always be the biggest inspiration this world will ever see. Sadly he’s gone, but fortunatly his music is not. It really is a shame that a man of so much value and raw talent died. We lost two very beautiful people yesturday and they will always be remembered. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones.

June 26th, 2009 at 11:30 am
There was a song with the Jacksons called Show You the Way to go it was a song about coming together as one and overcoming the troubles of life. He had so many songs like that and so often it is forgotten. Rest in peace Angel. You’ve done your work and your troubles are done. Rest with God.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:56 am

I love you Michael. I always have, even before I got your name tattooed on my ankle. I always dreamed of meeting him, shaking his hand, or giving him a big hug. I am so devastated I dont know what to do. I can only ask the media to focus on his music and not all the negativity from pass rumors. My prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry your children have to go through this, you always tried to protect them from harm.
I love you more than anyone will ever know. God bless you, and I hope to get that hug when I meet you in heaven

I was probably the only rapper other than hammer who channeled Michael in a commercially successfully way. I mixed dance and street in a way that hadn’t been done. Hammer was street dancing. We were technical. What people don’t realize is that Michael was more of a street dancer than he was technical (meaning-modern, jazz, tap, african) but his ability to lock in and polish his self was bar none. This is why his videos were so amazing their were two things going on. And in C and C I added to that phenomenon. Just look at my videos Rock and Roll, Gonna Make You Sweat Things That Make You Go Hmmm and Freedom and you can see Michaels influence. Listen to the solo album I made in 93 called Freedom and you hear Michael Jackson all over it.
Although I was from the street and a rapper I saw a need to pay homage to the man the myth the legend.
Their was a young man in a showtime series called Red Shoe Diaires the $#(*@`~@~(`$@^~ le of this episode was called “Emily’s Dance” which was loosely based on my life. I starred in it and one of the main dancers was a young man who had actually played a grown Michael Jackson in the made for tv movie. I use to tell him not to stand next to me when he danced cause he was so channeled into Michael Jackson that no one would notice me. Unfortunately this young man died from sickle cell while making this piece with me. I never got to work with Michael Jackson personally but met him on wonderama as a child and as an adult.
I remeber being on tour and often having to stop myself cause I would imitate him. I would tell myself stop
When I did my solo album I went to LA to work wit the cats from thriller the horn section that Quincy used on Thriller.
Frank Dileo Michaels manager and I use to hang out all the time in the early 90′S along with Joe Pesci Franks good friend
His influence on my life and music is profound.
Rest in peace michael we love and we appreciated all you gave us. May the aliens in heaven Aliyah, James Brown, Eartha Kitt, Left Eye, Farrah, all died on the 25 and in islamic mathematics that tranlates into
Wisdom-power which equals 7. 7 is Gods number they are all with GOD
The lesson u get from Michael Jackson is how to be kind and sweet in the face of so much angst and aggression

My prayers go out to the Jackson family. When the whole world stops to morn your death you have to be one bad man. Whose Bad! Michael will always be remembered in our hearts and minds and his music will live forever. RIP MJ.. We love you!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
it’s without a doubt a very sad and emotional day for the families and friends of Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcet and Michael Jackson. All three people each left an indelliable mark on my life and many others. My mom and i watched Johnny Carson religiously never missing an episode. I fell in love with Farrah Fawcett many moons ago and she’ll forever be the best part of my adolescence. But, michael had a profound an almost super-natural aura about him that i never thought another human could ever emulate. Not Michael Jordan, Not Tupac, hell, not even Jesus. I will forever be indebted to his music, and if he did anything to ‘hurt’ a child, he’s seeing his ‘maker’ on it now. So for all the people who make a mockery of him, please allow a dead manand his leagcy to rest peacefully. He’s not O.J.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Michael Jackson was a good guy even though alot of people didn’t think so. He had a rough life with how his dad made him reherse all the time. He couldn’ be a normal kid. I love you Michael Jackson R.I.P forever and always.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
today it doesn’t feel like any other day so R.I.P Michael….. WE ALL LOVE U!

My mom use to play with MJ back in Gary, IN. My mom family was the only family in the neighborhood that was bigger (11 kids) than the Jackson’s. when I was a child in the 80’s my mom would tell us stories in detail about MJ and his family. Me being a kid an all………………” I didn’t believe her”! “THE MAN WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE AT THE TIME, AND I LOVED HIS DIRTY………….”!!!!! She couldn’t tell me nothing about him, besides some of the stories weren’t always nice. It was only when I was 23 and Vh1 aired his story!! “I couldn’t believe that my mom knew MJ”!!!!!!! All those years she was telling the truth!! 2years later at a family get together my uncle talk about his childhood days, and spoke highly as he told the same stories about “playing baseball with the Jackson’s”!! MIKE brought MUSIC AND DANCING IN TO MY LIFE AS KID, and I pasted it on to my kids. I’VE BEEN CRYING LIKE A BABY!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. MJ
June 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
R.I.P the pop king, Michael Jackson.

All the others kids thought we were good and made videos and posted the m on Youtube. He made great music,videos and ,awesome dances. My whole school is shocked and sad about MJ’s passing. He will be missed and i give my best wishes to his family. R.I.P MJ.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
My prayers go out to the Jackson family, his children, and to all the fans who are shocked about an artist like no other. The media needs to stop addressing the supposed child allegations,issues, ect. He was aquitted meaning not guilty! So media you should address the positive things of Michael Jackson and let the man rest in peace respectfully!! Like most of the world I grew up listening to Michael and enjoying watching his videos, and he could dance( break it down). His legacy will always be remembered and he will be truly treasured in Music History. As a reminder to all of us to not take life for granted. God had blessed Michael with all these talents that he entertained us with. Thank you God Bless
June 26th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
just still in shock and i don’t want to keep sitting around listening to the same regurgitated news but dang! it’s michael jackson and i can’t stop. I keep thinking about how when i was a little girl he came on tv and i just balled like a baby.. i just knew in my little girl mind that i’d marry him when i grew up. just pray for healing for the family and children.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

June 26th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
This is so devastating. We’ve lost THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. A great artist, person, philanthropist, father, brother, etc. I pray for those who tried to tear Michael down when all he ever wanted was to make this world a better place. I wish those of you could’ve seen the same goodness and innocence that we’ve all seen throughout the years. Michael you have surpassed everyone’s expectations. Rest. You will be missed. Love and blessings to the family & friends. You’re the greatest to ever do it Mike! We love you like a member of the fam!

June 26th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Michael Jackson… A musical genius, a legend who we lost. When he needed us, we weren’t there for him. How the world turned into a contradiction of itself. MJ, you were my idol, my hero and still are and forever will be. You taught me to never grow up fast, stay a kid while you can. Thank you for showing me that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can do what ever you want if you put your heart and soul into it, and to never let the negativity of the world overtake me…and to shine past it all. Your music will live on forever in voices around the world. My thoughts and prayers go out to his children, family, loved ones, and fans. You were the Thriller… forever and always.
June 26th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
michael jackson was one of my favorite artists of all times. he was truly talented and one of the best artists and performers of all time. his music will never be silenced, but it makes me sad that my kids will not expierience michael jackson alive like i did. it hurts and i am still in a state of shock. i am only 16, and i am a huge fan. my dad met michael jackson when he came to colorado in concert. he was a bellman at the brown palace, and michael jackson gave my dad a stack of front row tickets to his concert, him and my grandma went. i envy him for that and i really do miss him, there is a saying by kid rock that says “If it looks good, you’ll see it. If it sounds good, you’ll hear it. If it’s marketed right, you’ll buy it. But…if it’s real, you’ll feel it.” michael jackson was one of the only artists that actually made me feel his music. he made a bigger impact on music than elvis presley. god bless him. and i hope people are remembering him for the good things he did and not the bad things. god bless you Mr. Jackson, i know you are at peace.
June 26th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
incredibly sad of mj to die… i want to remember the times he was a alive and floating in the air.But he couldnt breathe or anything then Los Angeles had this lucky day with him
Hes the best pop king ever i had in my world.Even though i didnt know he was in this world
R.I.P walking in heaven
June 26th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Words cannot express how I feel right now! Michael Jackson is and will always be a beautiful human being, with a heart the size of the universe, meaning his love never ends! I cannot believe this, I was crying so hard, my eyes are the size of golf balls! Yes, MJ was a ICON, a LENGEND, a PIONEER, but he was also a human being, and I hope that the media will respect that to the fullest! Please, don’t remember MJ because of his faults, remember him because he was and always will be the man who changed lives, the man who cared so much and wanted to heal the world, the man that everyone loved! He pulled this world together! It didn’t even matter that he was Muslim, that he loved ALLAH, it mattered that he was, and still is the KING OF POP!!!! NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE HIS PLACE! ALLAH has created MJ for a reason, and that reason was to touch the world, I thank ALLAH for giving him to us, thank you so much!! May ALLAH rest his soul, may ALLAH bless him and his family!!! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON…FOREVER!
June 26th, 2009 at 11:01 pm

Michael’s music (starting with the Jackson 5) has been the soundtrack of my life. It felt just as bad the day Elvis died, but I was younger and he lives on still. I grew up to Michael’s music & was enamored of his talents; he could do it ALL! Sing, dance, write, produce, choreograph…….for most artists that takes about 25 people. For Michael, he was the ONE. I always read the album liner notes so I knew he was so gifted. His music will stand the test of time (like Elvis) because it is pure perfection; art to last for generations. The only upside is that we have the videos, records he made so we can see & hear him forever. Michael, I am sorry your life was so hard; when one is as good as you, the vultures come out & the deadly sins move in. You always tried your best, worked so hard, gave so much. I always believed in you, almost everyone did but you paid a price for your the life you had. I hope you have peace now. Everything will be OK but you will be missed SO MUCH. Thank you for all you gave to the world. We were so blessed by your humanity & gifts.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:42 am
michael jackson was the reason i fell in love with music and the king himself. ive lived through the 90’s and present listening to him all my life. as of today i still listen to his memorable music. its heartbreaking about his recent passing. i cant stop crying:’( i am 13 years old and i loved him for as long as i can remember. my mom is also a big fan. when she was pregnant with me, she would put the thriller cd on and place headphones over her stomach. i started kicking like crazyy following the beat. r.i.p michael j. we love you and we miss you:) i will never forget you for the rest of my life:D
June 27th, 2009 at 2:59 am
His death has really taken a toll on me. Although, I’m younger and didn’t grow up in the era of Thriller and the Moonwalk, he was apart of this entire generation. I still grew up with his music all around me. People are always making references to him, whether good or bad. I’ve just watched the private videos for the first time online and it really changed my view of him. He had a huge heart, and just wanted to make an impact, whether the world knew it or not. He didn’t do it for publicity, he went out and touched millions of people through his music and public advocacy. I really admire him now, more than I ever have. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family and network of close friends. I’m sure this is one of the hardest moments of their lives, but his life will be celebrated for years to come. May he be at rest and be able to look down on all of us and smile at what a huge impact he really made. You’ll really be missed Michael!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:36 am
Michael Jackson was the ultimate entertainer-he sang, he danced and he had exceptional charisma whilst performing. There has never been another artist to this day that had such influence world wide. He changed the way artists performed. Now we expect them to be able to dance as well as sing. Every artist you see appears to have been influenced by Michael’s choreography. It appears that he lived to please his fans by giving them concerts that required intensive training and preparation. He was a perfectionist and that shows in all his work. I sincerely hope that the media will have the decency to stop speculating and allow him to be remembered for what he gave the world-intrinsic pleasure.

The words Legend, Icon, super Star… all do not describe Michael and his talent and ability to amaze and mystify audiences world wide! No other artist will ever fill those empty black and white dance shoes… There in only one who comes close but even he will never be able to fit in those shoes… If a tribute is done I would love to see Mr. Chris Brown do it as he can dance very similar to Michael and I feel he would be the only artist to keep the integrity of Michaels work as it should be. Love or hate him Chris Brown shares some of that same stage presence M.J had and definately has the Midas touch just like M.J as well… both are embattled stars who grew up in the industry from young ages… I think he has an understanding no other artist could ever know or touch… I grew up litrerally watching Michael and his brothers preform on T.V. and watched the Saturday morning cartoon, when the 80’s came aroud I had the bigest crush on Michael… and the Thriller album… AWESOME!!! No artist can ever touch the magnitude of that album. I miss him as if I knew him personaly, even though I never did. My heat is broken and I am choking back tears as I write this. Say what you will, The world has truely lost a true talent, legend, icon, super star of the super stars, King of Pop, Michael Jackson… Look forward to the day I get to welcome him back… Sleep well M.J.

There will never be anybody like Michael Jackson. I grew up with the Jackson 5 to present. Michael was the most singular artist who carved his way thru the world with such talent and music. Clearly his desire for peace and harmony which has been demonstrated thru many of his music and videos will be missed by so many. He had such real energy and talent, nobody will be able to copy that. My prayers for the Jackson family.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:58 am
we’ll forever love and miss you MJ! you were taken too early..
thank you for all you’ve done and thank you for making this world and music a better place
June 27th, 2009 at 8:15 am
I remember the first song I liked by MJ, it was “Never Can Say Goodbye.” That song made me want to be a singer just like him. He was my idol. A dream of mind was to make a song with him. I am a huge fan…have all his music from when he was with the jackson 5 to him going solo.. MJ you will never leave my heart. God rest your soul….
June 27th, 2009 at 11:12 am
there will never be another micheal jackson. i will love you and have you and your family in my thoughts always. and i wanna say off the bat that rip to everyone who has passed. we will miss you all because all of you have influences us in one way or another. may god bless you all.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Michael I know that you will be enjoying singing and dancing in Gods Rock and Roll Band now…Love you and will Miss you….Thank you for the Album you gave me after you and your brothers performed at Madison Square Garden……..Love Dawn H.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
The world has a treasure a unique individual. The world will never be the same without him. My prayers are with his family. We will miss him and his music. I grew up listening his music and still have the 1st album I bought at the age of 8. My dad and mom loved listening to him.
Gone But Not Forgoten. It is not Good Bye, Its ill see U Later. Rest IN Peace KING OF POP MICHAEL JACKSON
June 27th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
I could remember being a little kid and hearing about Michael’s Music. His first music video that I’ve ever seen was, “Beat It” He will always be missed and remembered. He inspired and changed the world. Michael Jackson is and will remain, “The King of Pop”
June 27th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I greww up in a very strick household and all i had was my music..Michael Jackson really helped me threw all the lonely,sad,and tough times..i am 37 years old now and still remember all the great things he did in his life..i will sincerely miss him and remember him with a very happy thought in my heart..he was a blessing in my life and thank god for the “King of pop”..we were all blessed to have had the chance to experiance his wonderful talent in our lives..”God bless you Michael”
June 27th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I grew up in Indiana listening to the Jackson 5 and MJ. As I sit and watch the videos being played, it’s amazing when you compare him with the artists of today and see the influence he’s had on videos, dance moves and the entertainment in general. He was truly an incredible artist. My most memorable moment was his performance at one of the award show where he sang Man in the Mirror. The passion he showed during that performance gave me goose bumps and has stayed with me forever. He will be truly missed. May God give peace to his family during this difficult time.
June 27th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
When I first read about Michael’s death on-line, I was in disbelief. Then, when I heard about it on the news, I didn’t want to believe it. What a truly great loss our music industry has suffered. He was the most gifted and talented artist. I will miss his music greatly. R.I.P., Michael. May God watch over your family.
Also, good-bye and God bless to Farah and Ed, as well.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
I was born Sept 2, 58… just four days after Michael Jackson and I watched him rise from a wonderfully special young, family singer to an international super star! I was even lucky enough to see him live, in Columbia, SC when he was with his brothers “The Jackson Five”! I was 14 years old…
My heart is broken, a as so many others, a BIG part of my childhood is gone, gone forever.. I felt it slip away, when I heard the news, my childhood companion was gone…
GOD Bless you Michael, your amoung GOD’s angels, the finest and we LOVE you.. We will always see your star shining in the sky…
Marcia
June 27th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Michael Jackson was the best. He inspired most, loved everyone as equals. His memory, heart, and songs will live on forever. Though your not here in life, your spirit lives on forever.
R.I.P Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
You will be missed and you will always be in our hearts
June 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I am extremely hurt,confused,and devastated;tears continue to fall.I grew up a preacher’s kid and could not listen to secular music.Born in ‘70,I watched the cartoon and various other shows he was on,but it was when I was 13,I believe,that we watched the Motown 25 Anniv show;I saw Michael’s performance and “fell in love!”When my baby bro slept with me,at times,he HAD to make room for MICHAEL!I also gained a great love for TUPAC,but MICHAEL JACKSON WAS MY 1ST!I never doubted him and cheered every time he WON!He had an undeniable love for mankind.Michael Joseph Jackson,you will truly be missed!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
i can’t belive he’s gone he was my top number 1 star no one can do him better than he can he’s gone(i’m crying) he had a life of magic no it was better than magic if i can see him one more time alive all i would say is that he’s my farther it feels that way please find out how he died god bless mr.jackson thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he’s gone!? nonononononononon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he’s my dad he can’t die not like this can’t be ture i mean he means so much to me call him what YOU like but he’s my dad and no one can change that!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I grew up listening to Michael as a kid during the Thriller and Bad days. Michael Jackson is hands down the best there ever will be as far as an icon and entertainer.I just wish the people would stop looking at the negative in his life and look more at the positive. When someone passes away you don’t put them down and try to ruin the legacy they worked all there life to build. It is very true when they say that the good die young and this is a prime example of that meaning. I am very saddened and have been since i first heard the news of his death.. R.I.P. Michael you will always been in my heart and the millions of other fans that you touched,you will never be forgotten..
June 27th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I’ve listened to Michael Jackson’s music since I was 2 and grew up loving his songs and music videos – from the Off The Wall album to Dangerous. It devastates me to constantly hear that we have lost one of the greatest pop icons – if not the greatest music icon – in music history and in world history. Michael’s music and videos helped make the 1980s and 90s were the BEST time periods in the history of song. His music fits every music genre known to man that I bet every kind of music club will be playing his music for the rest of this month. The base/ beats to hits such as “Wanna Be Starting Something”, “They Don’t Care About Us” (the Brazilian version) and “Thriller” got me dancing every time since they’re very catchy. I don’t want to believe that he has left us that I can’t even look at the dates under his name whenever it’s broadcasted on TV; otherwise, I feel like a part of my childhood has died. My prayers go out to him and his whole family. Michael Jackson, God Be With You!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I grew up with the Jackson-5, even as they went from five to six to seven ,I just kept on loving them like everyone else. I will always remember the first time that I saw you’ll on the Ed Sullivan show .I LOVED you and wanted to be your wife, that did not happen but I loved you just the same I am glad that you found some happiness in this life,hopefully you will also have eter nal happiness and peace.As the reality of it all continues to sink in who loved you best. Your earthly presence will be missed , but you will not be forgotten. You will always be in my heart. Y our family and friends have my deepest condolences. May God bless them to continue to prosper in spite of their loss. Michael was the man in his own right, they were right to crown you the king.R.I.P.
P.S. , Thank you for the memories.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:08 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
I’m devastated by the passing of Michael Jackson; I am so sad and this just seem like a really bad dream. He was one of my childhood idols. You were able to accomplish one thing that world leaders have been unable to do. Which is uniting races, generations, cultures, the entire world through your music. You did it Michael only you had the ability to accomplish this.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
I just cant believe he is gone michael jackson is in the sky well i give the family a prayer to them Nothing has ever been the same
since that day you died
you were finally coming home

June 27th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
My family and I our filled with sheer sorrow and devistation, and can’t come with the grip that michael is gone, Ive listen to michael jackson for 39 years and loved him so, and have come to introduce my children and grandchildren to his wonderful music. Just know michael and family I have always believed in you, and now you can rest in peace with the lord, and know you made a wonderful contribution to the world.
with sincere regards
michelle
June 27th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
I am shocked about his death. I love you Mike! RIP
June 27th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
As a kid i listened to his music, he was an icon and he made history. I will never forget him. To the song “ABC” though his hit “Thriller” he will all ways be a legend. i will miss you. and RIP Michael. THE KING OF POP will never die.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
A legend in Music, and Music video. in the early VCR days I can remember me and my neighbor being excited that we captured “Beat it ” on tape the night before so our young Children could see it the next day. RIP MJ
June 27th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
R.I.P. Michael Jackson, he was a inspiration to everyone that knew him and the people that adored him. HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUE KING OF POP. no one can ever replace him in this world. all my prayers go out to his family.
WE MISS YOU :’(
June 27th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Michael your death was truley a shock for me, on June 21, 2001 I lost my mother and on June 25 was her birthday. For your life to end so soon as well as her’s my heart hurts for the two of you. She passed on a thursday , around 2pm and of a fatal heart attack. I loved my mom with all my heart and soul and now 8yrs later someone else close to my heart was you is gone but never will be forgotten!!! LOVE YOU MJ
June 27th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Prayers are with the entire Jackson family,My family will never forget him,we grew up to all his music and still enjoy it on a daily basis.My daughter is only 5 years old and she request a Micheal Jackson song everyday to get her dance on,while we clean or just chill.The world has lost the best preformer in history far as I can see.I will never forget the smiles he put on my face as a little girl with Ben,Dance machine@of course I’ll be there.R.I.P MJ I will never forget you! MUCH LOVE JACKSONVILLE,FLORIDA
June 27th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I am a child of the 80’s, and I was so into Michael Jackson. I fell in love with him with “Off the Wall”, but when “Thriller” came out I went crazy. I learned the dance step by step. My kids love him, and even my 2 year old was dancing in the living room to his music yesterday. He will always be the “King of POP”.
June 27th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
All these stars paying tribute to MJ now when he is gone? Most of them saying he was an inspiration and an influence to their careers. Why did they not give a benefit for him when he was in need? Look at all the money MJ gave to charities. Why did they not have an intervention? Why did they not express their thanks and love for his contribution to the music industry when he was alive? Why was he stressed and all alone during his trouble times? I believe MJ was loved and worship from afar but behind close doors he was lonely, unloved and scared. If the music business was a famiy we would still have the KING OF POP to enjoy.
P.S. I do believe Blanket will have talent like Mike.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I cant belive he is dead,he will be missed,and never forgotton
June 27th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE TRIBUTE TO MICHEAL JACKSON ALL DAY TODAY, I WOULD FOR YOU TO PLAY THRILLER AND BEN. THANK YOU
June 27th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
micheal was music the best ever no one will be like him, a true human being
June 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Why don’t today’s artist and celebrities get together and redo we are the world as a tribute to Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Michael Jackson was one of the best performers of my time. It is horrible to hear this news. I will always remember him for his sensitivity and compassion, and for all the good things he has done. God bless and rest in peace. My prayers are with his family at this tragic time.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Michael was a tortured soul that touched that same tortured soul in all of us. When I saw the Motown 25th Anniversary live on TV I remember crying tears of joy. How could someone be so talented? It was like he was alien or something. No way were we the same species.
I saw him live with the Jackson 5 at the Circle Star Theater in 1971 or 1972. Any racial barriers I may have had were broken that day. Michael was a year younger than me so I really grew up with him!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
I JUST CANT BELIEVE THE KING OF POP HAS NOW ENTER THE GATES OF HEAVEN THIS IS A VERY SAD AND UPSETN MICHAEL JACKSON WAS MUSIC AND IT’S HISTORY I JUST WANT TO SEND MY PRAYERS OUT TO HIS FAM AND SAY THAT I AM VERY SORRY ABOUT DER LOST
R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON I ALWAYS LUV UR SONG N IT WAS MY FAVORITE OF ALL AN IT REALLY MEANS SUMTYN TO ME “YOUR ARE NOT ALONE”
June 27th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Michael Jackson will live in our hearts,so will his music. Michael Jackson was my favorite singer. I grow up listing to Michael Jackson’s songs in 1980’s and through 2009. Michael Jackson will be loved and missed. My prayers go out to his family,friends and his fans. Michael Jackson had the moves and the voice. Michael Jackson was taken too early away from his family. Thank you Michael Jackson for what you done for the others. There is no one else like Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson loved his work. Gods speed Super Star Michael Jackson.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:07 am
For one this hit me very hard and i truly believe he will be missed by the world. R.I.P MJ
I love u
June 28th, 2009 at 1:35 am
This is so unbelievable! Micheal Jackson didn’t have to have children to leave his mark. Just look at all of the artists who mimic his moves and his vocals. He was an icon and no matter what he went through in his life, he will always be remembered for his artistic ability to move the world! You will be greatly missed and loved for eternity! My condolences to the Jackson family. RIP MJ
June 28th, 2009 at 1:39 am

I remember my first Michael Jackson album was Off The Wall. I sat in my room for hours singing each and every song word for word!! The world will truly miss this icon and everything he taught all artists and all people!!
June 28th, 2009 at 2:51 am
R.I.P MJ….GONE TOO SOON…THEIR WILL NAVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU. LOVE ALWAYS, MY HEART AND LOVE GOES OUT TO THE JACKSON FAMILY. I AM STILL IN SHOCK
June 28th, 2009 at 3:18 am
I am still weeping. Like the rest of the world, I am still in shock. It’s so amazing how we grow up as fans of celebrities, most of us never meet them but are so moved when tragedy strikes. He was and will for ever be a part of me and my family. Through his music, spirit, family, fans, and our love for him, Micheal will continue to live.
ALL of Michael’s music is still the best? and so is he. One million years into the future there will NEVER be another Michael J. Jackson. My prayers go up and my heart goes out to his family, friends, $$&+~^!%~_^`+)% ociates/acquaintances, fans and enemies. Yes, his enemies because it’s through their evil, for which they will reap, that helped make him a stronger person. WE HAVE LOST A MAGNIFICENT GIFTED ANGEL. You will forever be loved. RIP M.J.J.!!

Dearaest Michael; I know that you are gone, and it does sadden me. I am 5 yrs of age, and i grew up with you. During my child hood days i was extrememley abused as a child. Your songs have made it easier, especialyy you are not alone. As I got older I had names my daughter after your song ROCKING ROBIN. Her name is Robin Christine, as a baby I would sing your song to her and she would smile and laugh. Michael, you will never be forgotten, You will always be looved by everyone’s heart that you have touched,. You are an angel from God sent here on earth, to help ease the pain for so many of God’s children. Thank you so much. Love always linda. P..S..Thank you God for giving us michale now he is home with you doing his moonwalk love you

Today we suffer a great loss as king of pop Micheal Jackson died at age 50 yesterday at around 2:30 pm. I was at the showcase cinemas watching Transformers revenge of the Fallen. I think that everyone is mourning this great loss. The two men that are probably Balling right now are Justin Timberlake and Usher. As the king of pop the album who’s legacy will live on is Thriller . As Triller has over 20 sequils. Vh1,Mtv and more are dropping their scheduiled programing to celebrate this ledgend. I have added a link to youtube’s Thriller to help this icon’s legacy live on.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8

June 28th, 2009 at 9:38 am
I remember when I first move to the United State I was eight year of age and I didn’t know any english, and the first song that I heard and really fell in love with was ABC 123. I got that record and I listen to that song for hours. When I became a teenager I had gotten almost every single record he had made. Then when I got my children I made sure that they listen to his song. When I became a grandmother I also made sure that my grandchildren learn about MJ. Right now I’m really sad for his lost but he will alway live in my heart and in my chiidren and grandchiidren heart. I will truly miss him. RIP.

I will miss you Michael. You will be my # 1 FOREVER. I feel so blessed to have seen you twice when you were in NJ in 1988 (Bad Tour). I still have the ticket stubs. I bought 2 T-Shirts and I have been wearing them since I heard that sad news.
RIP - King of POP!
June 28th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Michael Jackson, He was truly the King of Pop. My blessings go out to the whole Jackson family. He will always be remembered. Now he is moonwalking in heaven. Also keep reaching for those stars Michael. Plus I remember doing the moonwalk back in the 80’s thanks to Michael. God Speed Michael
June 28th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
As a young African i got to know about MJ through is song “We Are The World”
and I truly loved him.
So today I am very sad knowing that he gave the world every thing he had,
his talent, his youth, his money and the world gave him nothing.
I just think the world owes him one.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

Miss him much. May a life so God gifted with talent - yet so conflicted and troubled in the world - be at peace. At last.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Looking, searching for comments from PRINCE regarding MJ’s passing. Haven’t seen, heard. Be forward info on his reactions. I am such a huge fan - and his career played during the same time/space.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I used to not pay attenion to MJ anymore because of the new songs and stuff but now that hes gone, I have been listening to him and watching his music videos every since I found out. I just can’t belive he’s gone. My favorite songs are “Heal The World” and “Billie Jean”. It gets under my skin when people say why are prasing this child molestor and/or things like that. For one the case was dropped so stop. And how do they know that he did? Did he tell you? Were you there? And even if he did, that doesn’t make him less of a King of Pop!!!

Micheal Jackson was truly an amazing performer. When he sung he made the music come alive. It truly saddens my heart to know that he is gone. His legacy of amazing music will forever live on in the hearts of millions of fans including myself. Micheal you are now an angel in heaven though you are gone YOU ARE NOT ALONE I love you and I miss you.

MY PRAYERS LOVE AND SUPPORT GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL AND I WONT LET YOU DIE! I WILL GROW AND EXPAND YOUR LEGACY!
June 28th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
My life growing up was similar to his and listening to him all these years has made be a better person. He showed me that we could make things better. I am deeply sadden that he is gone. I will miss his gorgious smile,his laughter, and his kind voice. His family and Michael will always be in my prayers and heart. I will miss him, hes taught me so much and that will always stay with me and my kids. I know hes up there with god and hes not in pain anymore. I blame the ones that hurt him. They will have to answer to god some day. He had a big heart . He will always be number 1 . Thank you Michael, even thought I didn’t meet you, you taught me that my life could be better. You won’t be forgotten, love you.

June 28th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
The world has never known a man as pure and wonderful and giving as an artist like Michael Jackson. He will leave a legacy behind him like no other. I will always love and miss you Michael, I only wish everyone would have read his true heart and let him be the artist and great man he could have aspired to be. The pain is over Michael, rest in peace!

Micheal will always be miss by me, I have grown up in a house surronded with Micheal Jackson songs. I love the album with him sitting on the fence that was the real Micheal Jackson. What ever it is I will miss him so much, don’t matter what the world may thing about him GOD is our judge and jury, Judge not or thee will be judged. Many may critercize Micheal and called him names but if they look at their lives they are doing worse that him but hiding in the closet. To the Jackson family my prays are with you all I can only imagine your pain at this time, You are left of his children love them the way their father Micheal will do protect them from this wicked world out here ask GOD to guide them in their going in and out. Fight for your son and brother’s children that he loved and shield from the world all these years. Not even their mother should get them, cause if you can sell your children for millions of dollars I don’t think you deserve them cause you can sell them again to the highest bidder come around, so please protect Your nieces and nephews and your grandchildren for the sake of GOD and Micheal I will lift you all up in prays and ask GOD to grant you the serenity to deal with the negative and to put on God’s armor of shield to protect you all from the negative gossip of this world. “God Bless you all Jackson family and Micheal three beautiful children” A family that prays togather stays togather keep on praying my dear Jacksons.

Growing up on his music at the age of 3 or 5 far back as I can remember I asked my mom who was this man on the record and she was like the KING OF POP and I always wanted to meet him in person I wished I had the opportunity to meet such a great performer,dancer,songwriter with a big heart.

The best memory of my childhood of Michael was when I saw him in Encino, CA in 1984 outside his home. His mercedes drove down his long driveway with the wrought-iron gates opening to the street. My mom yelled his name and he graced us with a wave of his shiny glove. That second has lasted forever. I will never forget him because there will never be another like him.

Brenda Lee Roberson said
I heard your voice in the wind today , and I turned to see your face,The warmth of the wind caressed me AS i stood SILENTLY IN PLACE. I felt your touch in the sun today,AS its warmth filled the sky, I closed my eyes for your embrace and my spirit soared high. Isaw your eyes in the window pane,As I watch the falling rain,Its seemed as each raindrop fell,It quietly said your name, I held you close in my heart today It made me feel complete, you may have died…butyou are not gone you will always be apart of are live, AS LONG AS THE SUN SHINES THE WIND BLOWS… THE RAIN FALLS… YOU WILLLIVE ON INSIDE OF US FOREVER fOR THAT IS ALLARE HEART KNOWS I LOVE AND MISS YOU
,u was a part of my family , i pray for your sisster and mom and kids .god and u will watch them .

It’s been over a week and it feels like yesterday that I turned on VH1 to see the headline “Michael Jackson is dead.” I still have trouble believing it, you know getting used to it. MIchael Jackson was an icon, a true visionary and a great person. He had a hard life from false molestation charges that never let go of him even after he was proven innocent to all the crazy tabloid rumors about him. MJ showed us how to dance, he showed us how to do a musci video and he showed us what is right. He only ever wanted to help the world. He was ridiculed and shoved out of the country for being such a great person. It still just doesn’t set with me. I’m still waiting to hear it was all a hoax, that he faked his own death. That would be amazing!! It’s so unreal. R.I.P MJ your legacy will live on forever!!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:24 pm
COULDNT BELIEVE IT MAH IDOL DIED *R.I.P MJ*ROSES R RED VIOLETS R BLUE MJ DA BEST N DATZZZ THE TRUTH—LOVE MARISSA
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:45 pm
IT A SREALLY SHOKING THAT THE KING OF HIP HOP DIES BUT, IT WAS OUT OF THE BLUE I EXPECTED SOMEONE ELSE BUT IT WAS MICHAEL JACKSON THAT MADE ME FEEL SO BAD MICHAEL WAS ONE OF MY FAVIORT SINGERS THAT WAS MY FAN THEN HE PASSED AWAY BUT, YOU GOT TO KNOW THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL LIVE AND YOU WILL PASS AWAY AND GOD THOUGHT IT WAS TIME SO I GUESS IT WAS THE BEST FOR HIM.. BUT, I WILL AWLWAYS WILL REMEBER HIMAND HIS SINGING..
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:18 pm
I was 3 years old when Thriller came out. It was the first cassette tape I owed. I remember being scared of the video.
I was shocked when I heard Michael had passed. I cried as he will forever be a part of my childhood, I feel a part of me has died. He was amazing to watch dance and set the stage for so many artists. RIP.
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
I may have not known Michael Jackson but i really loved his music
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
i will always be in shock.michael and i was born the same year.when the jackson five first started,we bought their music in 45’s and albums.he has always been my best entertainer since and will always be.i always wanted to meet him,but sadly never got the chance to do so.now i am crying everyday.my heart goes out to katherine and the rest of the family.i “know what it’s like ” to lose a child. i lost my son when he was 18. he also was a great fan of michael. i ask the family to stay strong. my parents were also Jehovah’s Witnesses,so i ask katherine and Joe to please stay strong.God will not put no more on you than you can bear.i love you all.wish i was there with you to share your grief.by the way,i also came from a family of nine kids.keep preaching God’s word,you will see Michael again.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Michael Jackson was a great Icon,but he was a greater Man.Most people love him for his Music and his presence on stage.I loved his Music absolutely,I grew up with it.But I loved the Man the type of person Michael was.He was one of a kind he was in a class by himself as he was in his Life,by himself.I want to be thought of a a close Friend of his that he never got to meet instead of a fan,I feel like I lost someone very close to me and there are no words to describe how I feel.I pray for his Family and real close Friends that are not talking bad of him or mentioning his drug use,thats nobody’s business,he should be remembered for what a wonderful Man that he was and what he attributed to the World.
July 3rd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
MJ will be missed very much he was a legend. the king of pop and no matter what he did he was still a man of music. thats what made him so special. he has made his mark on the world and he will never be forgotten. I send out my prays to his family and children and wish them all the best. he is finally free from this cruel world may he rest in peace. WE LUV U MIKE

Forever your fan. We will meet again!
July 4th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
I was so shocked when i heard Micheal Jackson had passed an i was hopeing it was only a roomer . But when i kept hearing everyone sending texts i turned on the news an saw it was real .So all i could do was cry all day an everyday i was hurt. Even though i never met him he was always in my heart and i love him and his music and will always forever keep him in my heart. I love you Micheal Jackson an you will always and forever be missed.
July 5th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Michael Jackson changed the way the world heard music, and he revolutionized music videos to an art form. Michael Jackson influenced so many artists we listen to today. I believe we would not have music as we know it if it were not for him. God gave Michael Jackson a gift of true talent, and he took it to the stars. The world will not be the same with out him. Peace be with you MJ!

July 8th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
My condolesence goes out to Michael Jacksons parents, siblings their husbands wifes and their children and Michaels children and their birthmothers whom are all tricken by this sudden tragedy ” LORD I THANK THEE THAT MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOW IN THY CARE, GRANT YOUR PEACE UPOND HIS PARENTS HIS SIBLINGS THIER HUSBANDS WIFES AND THEIR CHILDREN AND, HIS CHILDREN THAT WAS IN HIS CARE! IN JESUS NAME AMEN.” His loss has had a devarstating afect world wide. He had a big impact on the world with his talent as a singer and dancer a great entertainer and performer and he will be deeply and dearly missed. I thank the lord for the gifts this young man was blessed with. I, just like many of the thousands of families back in the 60s back in my, country of birth New Zealand were clued to the tv set, watching this extrodinary young boy who was almost 4years my junior perform and sing with his brothers beyond his years. You could see there was this sweet and gentle spirit that he possed and this boldness that sprung up as he unleashed his giftings to the world. He inspired thousand of people not only those in the music industry but, just ordinary people throughout the world. I was always drawn too his music and I loved the way he utilize everypart of his body, he had structure and poise he was just magnificent to watch. “Rest In Gods Peace” Michael Jackson.

I am filled with sadness that the greatest, sensational pop king has died! I was born in the late 60s and since then, you have entertained us with your music. My memories are filled with your music bonding our families and friendships through reunions and parties. There was never a time like yours when wonderful music kept us glued to mtvs, television shows with dance groups dancing to your music and stereos. Your death will never keep us dancing the way your rocked us to dance in the 80s. Our music king is now with the greatest king. You have left us in body but your music and goodwill will always live. RIP, Michael !
July 28th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
MJ You ARE/ were the greatest ever seen and heard. The life you lived on this earth will only be judged by the Almighty. For those that caused you heartache, contributed to your downfall, all the ugly statements said to you, to your face, all that you undured via the media and tabloids, the humiliation, embarassments, WILL MOST CERTAINLY HAVE THEIR DAY AS WELL. Your personal life is exactly as it is - PERSONAL. To Mr Martin Bashir, you should have been fired by the Network who employed you. You chose to dig deep and view all things from a different perspective - always dirty, low and not knowing what to say and when to stop. You should take a page from Matt L… (I cannot spell his last name), such charm, and soul, as a media person. I SAY SHAME ON YOU I HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN SO THAT YOU WOULD BE SPARED OF THE HURT AND SADNESS MJ FELT WHEN HE WAS BEING RIDICULED, I WOULD NOT WISH THAT ON ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF HOW THAT PERSON CHOSE TO LIVE. If MJ was eccentric, he hurt no one, he was always a gentle,caring human being. I will continue to miss him and always remember how blessed we human beings are for having him on this earth. To you martin and all the others, GO TO HELL
August 11th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Before Oprah, Tiger Woods and Obama….you’ve inspired others and done so much for the music world than what others have done for television, sports and politics. to say that you are missed my millions is a complete understatement! It still sadens me to this very day to know that you are gone. It feels as we were robbed of our beloved friend MICHAEL. i miss you and i love you ALWAYS!!!!
August 15th, 2009 at 2:44 am
MY HEART STOPPED FOR A FEW SECONDS. MY HEARTS GOES OUT TO THE JACKSON FAMILY. AND JANET YOU’RE ONE OF THE GREATEST TOO HONEY. DON’T GIVE UP.
MICHAEL IS WATCHING HIS FAMILY. BELIEVE ME. LOOKING THROUGHT THE WINDOW.
