The first person I ever had a crush on was Michael Jackson. I was three years old, Thriller had just come out, and I lugged around a tiny notepad with MJ’s face on it wherever I went. This was back in 1982 during his brief hunky period, when his jheri curls caressed his not-too-bony cheeks, and his nose was, ya know, still there. Every P.Y.T. in the world wanted to moonwalk next to Michael in a graveyard, decked out in a single sequined glove and penny loafers.
Michael was a huge star before Thriller dropped. The Jackson 5, comprised of Michael and his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon, were a super-group in their own right, with hit singles like “ABC,” “I’ll Be There,” and “I Want You Back.” Later on, he won over hordes of fans with his work in The Wiz and 1979’s Off The Wall, which produced such college dance party classics as “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” and “Rock With You.”
Even as his popularity shifted and his face changed drastically, Michael still made headlines. As a kid, I sat glued to the TV for both the “Black and White” video debut on FOX, and his statement about molestation allegations brought against him in 1993. His list of accomplishments and infamous incidents are endless: Bad, Captain EO, “Black Or White,” Bubbles the chimp, getting burned while filming a Pepsi commercial, dating Brooke Shields, his friendship turned feud with Paul McCartney, Neverland Ranch, palling around with Emmanuel Lewis and Macaulay Culkin, his changing skin color and face, his marriage (and divorce) to Lisa Marie Presley, financial troubles, his allegations of child abuse at the hands of his father to the molestation allegations brought against him. His life was a roller coaster of career highs and tragic, personal lows, and in recent years he seemed to be almost a ghost of his former self: pale, frail and barely there.
Michael is survived by his three children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II, an unforgettable career, and legions of fans across the globe. While he’ll surely be remembered for the legal and personal drama that plagued his life, to fans Michael will always be that cocky and confident legend with the fast feet and the baby voice, who encouraged millions to look in the mirror and “make that change.”
I’ll miss him, we’ll miss him - weird ways and all.

Michael Jackson was truly the sound of my childhood. On this day part of my childhood is silent. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson Family, thank you again Jermaine for your heroic words about your brother.

June 25th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
Get with it VH1 & MTV! I am now just absorbing what happened to MJ. Not his biggest fan, but I’ve loved him since the 60’s and as far as I’m concerned, we are all going thru a major piece of history now, like when Jimi, Jim, Elvis, Janis, etc. died. Michael was the King of Pop, whether we loved him or not, thru all his good times and bad - but one of the most amazing talents we will ever know in our lives - history in the making! So WHY, when I got sick of watching CNN or the gossip stations that only focused on the BAD thing about this amazing, troubled artist, when I turn on VH1 or MTV do I find a damn reality about some chick trying to take a fast-food order????? I am APPALLED!! C’mon, VH1 &MTV - you were the PIONEERS OF MUSIC TV!!!!! Why do we have to see crap on TV when there is tragic history happening right now? Some of us out there in the “real world” are still only intersted in the actual “MUSIC & REAL MUSICIANS!!!! Not the “reality TV we have to endure on every channel anymore - your music tv, remember??????????????
June 26th, 2009 at 12:11 am
I truly loved and still love Michael Jackson! I feel bad that he left this world knowing that so many CRUEL PPL ridiculized him, judged him, criticized him and spit on his face and now he is in everybodys mouth. HYPOCRITES! Thats why we should Love always when our ppl are alive not after their death. Well, he went Moonwalking to Heaven now. Love Ya
June 26th, 2009 at 12:27 am

June 26th, 2009 at 12:50 am
I cried when I heard that mike died. At first I heard he was in a coma then people at work were saying no he died, I wanted so bad for it to be a coma and not death. That way we could still have the living legend Micheal Jackson. I was so happy to hear of him touring again and was hoping that he would come back to the U.S. Now there are memories I keep the good memories in mind like the first time I saw his live performance on TV and I got chills and started to cry. I wasn’t even there for the live performance but I felt like I was. This was the effect that Micheal had on people and this is how I will always remember him. There better be the biggest tribute in the world for him. Every radio station should play his songs.
miss u mike rip
June 26th, 2009 at 3:53 am
I am feeling so sad and tragic about this loss. losing him is like losing Elvis in other days. I never thought that he did those bad things and I am sad to see him go. May he rest in peace!!!!!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 4:00 am
You will be immensely missed, MJ. My husband and I just found a good copy of “Moonwalker”… Our kids have been watching that movie non-stop..doing the dances and attempting to sing the songs. MJ is and always will be an icon, and a beautiful soul. I pray you find peace now.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:21 am
I remember when I was a kid my mom would take me to rent movies at the local video store. I would rent the same movie every time and that movie was MOON WALKER! She would kinda get upset that I never picked anything else. If I was not watching the movie I was singing “Man in the mirror” or “Dirty Dianna” into my uncles old school tape recorder. Man did I sound bad. RIP Mike!
June 26th, 2009 at 4:29 am
I will miss im so much…To me I think he was sent to be a icon to everyone- and he wil never beforgoten… Micheal will alway be in all of our hearts

Love LaKeisha
June 26th, 2009 at 4:53 am
When I found out Micheal Passed I couldn’t believe it. I guess I didn’t want to. Even thought I never knew him personally, he had a place in my heart and everyone’s in this world. I know there isn’t a person who isn’t saddened by this loss. I know I am. But I can’t cry I don’t think he would want us to. He is in the place there is. God bless his children, and all his family members. I am deeply sorry.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:44 am
Ugh! Too much crying for one night. So many of my friends were effected by Michael Jackson’s death. One man whom I’ve had in my life since I was born. I will never forget how his music touched my soul. I look to the heavens and praise you one last time. I’m gonna miss you, Michael. My deepest condolences to all the friends and loved ones of Mr. Jackson. May you find a way to smile again.
I make a toast to the great ones gone before him. R.I.P. to Michael Jackson, James Brown, and Elvis Presley. King of Pop, King of Soul, and King of Rock n’ Roll. All together once again. Heaven’s gonna party tonight. The great ones are always remembered.
June 26th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Wow…. I really dont know where to start. Michael Jackson was a musical genius!!!!! He was a triple threat. He could sing, write n sho’ nuf could dance!!!! I grew up listening to The Jackson 5!!! I loved them all. But Michael stood out among the rest. I had the privilege of sharing the same birthday as him and I would brag about that : )
We definetley will miss him… He was a legend who was often imitated but NEVER duplicated. Alot of our young entertainers give credit to Michael for being their inspiration. I imagine him and James Brown are dancing around heaven right now!!!! May his soul rest in peace…
June 26th, 2009 at 6:40 am
I have been a fan of michael Jackson since i first listened to music! I was obsessed and had to have anything and everything michael Jackson. I had every cd movie from jackson 5 greatist hits thru to off the wall all the way up to dangerous… I am still in shock and am devestated that a icon and legend such as michael is no longer with us! He was a musical genius with a style all his own, and while he had his ups & downs like anyone else, he will always have my love,respect, and admiration. Michael was an angel, he saved lives and touched lives. He will always be in our hearts and never forgotten, his spirit lives on thru his mu8sic, and his videos, all tell a story, his work left a mark in this world, his star on the walk of fame will never fade, he will always shine bright! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his close friends, and even myself and all his millions of fans cuz without us nothing would be possible;)! we LOVE & MISS U MICHAEL JACKSON!!! XOXO R.I.P. GOD BLESS
June 26th, 2009 at 6:42 am
There are so many memories of Michael Jackson. In a sense he was responsible for raising me to a degree. The first album and music I ever heard was the Thriller record(of which I inherited by way of my cousins and still own) and I owned the rhinestone glove. There was nothing like the 1980’s. A very magical decade to begin with in its own rite, Michael only made it better. For years, I wanted to be him and spent lots of my days and nights dancing in my room with spins since I learned how to moonwalk. Michael is and will always be a part of my childhood and as a straight guy I am not ashamed to admit either “I love you, Michael for making this world and me a much better person. I know your moonwalking yourself through the pearly gates in heaven and one day we will all be reunited with you again. Thank you soo much too, for being a part of Ryan White’s life and treating a kid with AIDS, like him with the respect of a person during a time when this country faced soo many prejudices.
June 26th, 2009 at 7:23 am
I TOLD MY PARENTS MANY YEARS AGO ONE DAY I WILL MARRY MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE FAN AND WILL CONTINUE.SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES TO REMEMBER IT IS VERY HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS.I HAVE SUPPORTED THE KING OF POP 100% THRU ALL HIS UPS AND DOWNS AND I’VE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE A FAN.

June 26th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Micheal you are the truth, as you shined your light upon everyone and inspired with originality that will never be seen again because of your passing. I hope you went to a better place…
June 26th, 2009 at 8:13 am
I have been dancing to Michael since I was in diapers and will continue to enjoy his music until I am in diapers again.My prayers are with his family.He will never be forgotten he is the best no one will ever compare to Michael R.I.P. :(…
June 26th, 2009 at 8:20 am
I remember being 9 years old and my mom surprising my cousins and me with tickets to see The Jackson’s in concert. When Randy Jackson ran across the stage yelling “CAN YOU FEEL IT?” I was overwhelmed with excitement. All the brothers joined him and Michael came out last and I could barely contain myself. It was an amazing time for me, I will never forget it. My best friend and I would run home from school to see Thriller on Mtv. We would do the “Thriller” dance all over my mom’s house. I have loved Michael Jackson and will continue to love Michael Jackson. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends and all his fans. RIP MJ I know you’re dancing in Heaven.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:36 am
My favorite memory of MJ was his Jam video with Michael Jordan… MJ and MJ… what could be better? I have short term memory loss and pretty much the only songs I can remember are Michael Jackson’s songs. I could do the moon walk and do a good impersonation of him. Friends would always ask me to do that. I would enjoy that. I was just in shock when that news came over the air!
June 26th, 2009 at 8:38 am
I hope you burn it hell Wacko-Jacko! I hope he suffered before he died! Only guilty people kill themselves!
June 26th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I remember going to the drive in movie of Ben back in 1972 (?) My younger sister and I learned the song “Ben” by Michael and would sing it in the car on the way to our weekly camping trips during the summer. It was one of the few pop songs our parents would allow.
My most sincere condolences to Michael’s family, friends and fans. He will be missed.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:45 am
I will surely miss Michael Jackson. All though he may have made some wrong decisions in his life like changing his skin color, and getting a nose job, he will be very, very missed. Especially by me and my parents! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON!! You’re a real “THRILLER”!!
<3- Kaitlyn:)
June 26th, 2009 at 8:47 am
RIP Michael. So sad but we will always have is music. God Bless his children and the rest of his family.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:54 am
My heart is aching so badly right now, it’s a type of pain I cannot explain,…I feel like I’ve lost a part of me, Michael Jackson was so special so very special. He was a creative man with such a outstanding musical talent. He will be deeply missed, but I am so blessed to have been able to enjoy his music and now that he’s able to rest in peace with no more worries or judgements… He was a great man and I have so much sorrow for his children and his family may God comfort them at their time of saddness……..You’ll truely be missed MIchael Jackson 4 you were the absolute KING OF POP………….Love ya Always! This really hurts!
June 26th, 2009 at 9:08 am
He’s the greatest there ever was, has been,and will be. He is will be missed
June 26th, 2009 at 9:13 am
I am so saddend by this loss. I was in shock yesterday when I heard the “breaking news” aired on every t.v and radio station. The first thought that went through my head was “this cannot be true.” Then, when they pronounced his death I felt instantly like I lost a childhood friend. I cried for hours and I am still wiping away tears now. He was the first boy I ever had a crush on and the first person that inspired me to be something great. He was such a huge part of my childhood. He loved everyone regardless of the hate he felt from some. I will truly miss him more than words can ever express.
June 26th, 2009 at 9:33 am
It didn’t hit until today that Michael Jackson is really gone. I remember when I was eight years old and every time a Michael Jackson video came on I always did the moonwalk and follow him on his incredible dance moves. I always wanted a Michael Jackson leather jacket with all the zippers, but my family couldn’t afford it. When I played basketball in High School in Maryland,before we went on the road or before we played we joked around as a team and always sing “Rock with you” to get us going and motivated to win. He took music to a level which nobody else in the world will ever do again. He gave his heart out to people, taught us about “real music” and brought everybody together from all different countries and race. He didn’t just make music, he is music, which open the doors for everybody. My son is 2 yrs old and every since he was 1 yrs old when we play his videos he would watch and dance. My son favorite song is “the way you make me feel.” Now he can rest and in a better place where he can only be judge by god. R.I.P Michael!!! we love forever and you are safe now.
June 26th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I was so sad to hear the Michael Jackson had passed away. He had a great spirit, he was a wonderful musician and entertainer. He sacrifised his childhood to entertain the world and entertain he did. He broke so many musical boundaries and racial barriers through his music. He has made beauiful music and will be the King of Pop forever Gone but not forgotten, you will be missed greatly. I love you Michael!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Michael Jackson was a gift to the world. He had God-given talent. He will always be remembered and missed, and his legacy will be forever. God bless, rest in peace Michael.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:11 am
he was my first crush too lol. never wanted to admit that!! my family still gives me hell!! i am so sad he is gone.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:13 am
MJ, You gave us Beat It, in return, we celebrated every occasion to your beat. You lifted our spirit with Thriller, and we were always thrilled by your great performances. You wowed us with the moonwalk, and we felt the next best thing was to actually walk on the moon. At the end, you bridged several generations with History, and we are grateful that you will always be part of our History. A mourning fan
June 26th, 2009 at 10:18 am
I grew up on Michael. This whole situation seems so unbeleivable. We all have to go one day though. I spent hours of my life trying to perfect his moves. I felt a connection with him. I am a musician. I have been playing keys since I was five. Now I play everthing except brass. I don’t know who reads this stuff, but I hope that Michael’s family takes the time to read some of our comments. I am a believer in Christ, and I pray that Mike got it together with our creator. Michael was the seventh of nine children. That number is special to God. I know someone will steal this, but I was thinking. 6*25*09. The Jackson five actually had six members. Michael got his big solo break at Motown 25, and there was nine jackson children. Nine is also a devine number. If you do not have it together. Get it together. Jesus loves us all. Sinners and saints alike. I will miss Michael Joseph Jackson. My birthday is two days after his. I alway thought about him during my birthday and I always will. Thaks for the music. Music. Not the trash we are forced to listen to. All you trash talking rappers and sex crazed r and b singers. Devil worshiping rock singers and hateful country singers who still hate any other race than your own. Ignore the tracks to Michael’s music. Listen to the words. Please make a change. Not for me or michael , but for your family,friends,and your souls.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:21 am
my family grew up on mj.We luv him.R.i.p m j
June 26th, 2009 at 10:24 am
As a little girl I remember my mom blaring her Michael Jackson throughout the house,Smooth Criminal over and over again. It was so loud the glasses would shake. I learned how to rock out to his music. No one can deny the impact he had on their life. Unless you lived under a rock you lived his music at some time. When I hear his songs I am there in my youth. His childhood may have been troubled but he made mine richer. Thanks Mike, you rock my socks off
June 26th, 2009 at 10:33 am
i remember a picture of me a michael i was a baby my uncle took me wih him to see him back in the 80’s my grandmother couldnt really tell me details about what happen on that day i wish my uncle was alive to tell me i really really wish i had that picture it was lost in a house fire in the mid 90’s when i was in middle school…..i will miss michael we will all miss michael he will be forever missed….by the way im looking at peoples comments and alot of yall is spelling his name wrong the A comes before the E
June 26th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Even at a young age it was devistating for me to hear that michael had died so suddenly.. I grew up listening to his music, but his death only makes his music live on in history even longer, he will forever and always be the king of pop.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:38 am
r.i.p michael jackson. no one will ever forget you and your music. your the king of pop.!! I will always love you and what you did!! god bless you, your kids, and famliy!!!! i love you for ever and ever!! i will always be your number one fan in the universe!! you will be missed so much.!!!

I have been a huge fan of Michael and therefore my children grew up with him. My 2 children passed away tragically 1993 and we played BAD at the memorial service for my son Nicholas. I was always glad that he wasn’t alive to see the negitive media about Michael and this would be a very tough day for him. There will never be another MIchael Jackson and I will grieve him for a very long time. My heart goes out to his family and friends and hope they too will remember him with peace and joy one day. My love always….
June 26th, 2009 at 10:41 am
This was just such a shocking thing to hear, I think that everyone in America witnessed some type of emotion when we heard the terrible news. Personally my favorite song is Billie Jean.. When I heard the news I automatically turned on the radio because I knew that every station would be playing a tribute. I was working when I found out but for some reason happiness came over me not sadness because I knew that true Michael fans were jammin to his songs….. just like they always will….. god bless
June 26th, 2009 at 10:44 am
It is such a tradgedy that the king of pop is gone. I still can’t believe that he’s dead. All you see is Micheal and you can’t help but get emotional. My prays go’s to the Jackson Family during their time of sorrow. RIP MIICHEAL WE’LL I’LL REALLY MISS YOU.
P.S YOU’VE BEEN AN INSPIRATION IN YOUR DANCE MOVES AND MUSIC!!! XOXOXOX
June 26th, 2009 at 10:56 am
same here , he was my first crush , I loved him so much , I had posters, barbie dolls ,necklaces, shirts, everything ..everywhere… all over the place when I was a kid , the first record I ever owned was Thriller, and I was so proud of it . I have a picture of me holding it up , cause I got it for my b- day that year .
Never forgotten King of pop. You will always be here with us .
June 26th, 2009 at 11:16 am
I remember being so in love with Michael that I had my mother buy his whole clothing line so that I could not only look like him but so that I could feel his presence next to me all day and night long. I would take naps just to think about him more privately without being interrupted… Even wore my hair like him… Whenever I hear his music I get this glim in my eyes as if he’s mine… it’s a great feeling that I can’t explain but I am so glad that I was able to expericence such a purity of love… even if it was just a part of my dreams… Michael’s song told alot about me that it was if we were soul mates in another dimenision… He was sent to us at an appointed time for an appointed _*((~#^(`~%&!$$ ignment that he fulfilled inspite of the many road blocks he faced… I love that man like he was family so when I heard he was gone I cried out as tears filled my face from the pain that was filling up my heart… Michael Jackson is a legend and he left a legecy behind that will never die so whenever I start to missing him I will just go play his music or take a nap:) I love you Michael Jackson and I am forever lifing your family up in prayer. Michael will never die in my heart…
June 26th, 2009 at 11:45 am
i never seen the world stop before yesterday when that news came on every sound out siade was quite even the birds stopped singing ,Dang people love Micheal that’s the one man i looked up to for everything like getting girls and killing it on the dance floor they say nobody can kill it like him that’s all true and i glad his big break was in my city Detroit, i wish the family the best and i hope that SMOOTH CRIMINAL rest in peace we love you mike and we always will keep on dancing
June 26th, 2009 at 11:46 am
The very first thing I ever did in music was join a group of guys from my neighborhood that formed a Jackson 5 tribute group. As I was the smallest person in the group, I had the part of Michael. We began to do house parties for our friends and parents. Before we knew it, someone took it upon themselves to enter us in a talent show. I will never forget the first talent show we did. We were at the University of San Francisco and we did “ABC” and “The Love You Save”. I was only 7 years old at the time. We won that talent show and that was the day I became one of Michael Jackson’s BIGGEST fans. I’ll Never stop loving the music that man made or the man himself. Regardless of his recent problems, He was the greatest entertainer to set foot on stage!!
June 26th, 2009 at 11:47 am
i love michael jackson very very much i can’t eat or do any thing i can’t stop looking at his videos or his photos i can’t beleve this is going on when i am in my depressing stage i will miss him to the jackson family i know without him it’s taking a big part out of youall i can’t stop crying i will miss you mj.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
My heart is very broken. I have loved Michael jackson everysince I was in the 6th grade. He was truly one in a million. He will be forever missed. I had a chance to watch the Jackson 5 story this weekend fior the first time and I really enjoyed it. He will forever be the love of my life. And I will cherish the time and the love he put in my heart. The world has been truly blessed to have had a man of those riches and not in just money. Let the world remember ad imbrace each other on the good Micheal has done for the world. Lets let the work he done speak for him. RIP My Brother I love you but God loves you Best.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
michael jackson was always a big part of my life. i grew up listening to his songs. he inspired me as a dancer. i have danced two of his most popular songs, :thriller and smooth criminal.” i practiced for weeks just to get every step right. i remembered dancing with such passion as if i was dancing for him. i will always have you in my heart and i will keep living on cause you were my #1. i love you and rest in peace to the king of pop, michael jackson.
One Of Your Biggest Fans,
Vanessa S.

I WAS SO SHOCKED I ALMOST HAD A CAR ACCIDENT, I CRIED LIKE A BABY, I LOVED THAT MAN SO MUCH, REGARDLESS OF STUPID TALKS OF IGNORANT PEOPLE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS KIDS. HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. MICHAEL I LOVE YOU REST IN PEACE.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I remember being a little girl and watching the movie Moonwalker. Running around in cowboy boots like Michael did. I watched that movie over and over again! I listened to his tape so much that I went through 3 tapes. He was an amazing artist and no matter what he did in his life that fact that he was the KING will never change! He will be missed and his inspiration to his fans and other artist will live on forever! There will never be another artist like Michael! Rest peacefully MJ!
June 26th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
i loved that he was eccentric, this morning when his “childhood” video was playing i fully understood why he was the way he was. he needed that feel of being the child he never was. always in the spotlight trying to make hid dad proud of him. he wanted that feel of being a kid, being around kids that age. “heal the world” and “man in the mirror” are two beautiful songs for all those out there who thought wrong of him. i still feel like it’s not real that he is getting ready for the big concert, in my heart he is a hero. you are with the angels and god.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Michael Jackson inspired me a lot and have huge respect for him. I remember listening to him growing up. You will always be heard through my speakers. I love you Michael Jackson. R.I.P

I can’t express the sadness and pain I feeling about the death of Michael Jackson. Billie Jean was the first album I bought with my own money. Michael has done so much for the music industry and the world. He has opened the doors for so many.
He will definitely be missed.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Michael Jackson was a music genius, his music was a-head of time. I grew up listening to his music & I feel that part of my childhood is now gone. His music touched me a-lot as well as others. I think this is why I am going to miss him & his music because it will always be in my heart. You can’t take away what is in a persons heart, especially when that person’s heart is filled with emptiness, then it is filled with something unique and that is what Michael Jackson did for me & many others. He filled our hearts with joy.
Thank You Michael, I will never forget you, R.I. P.

YOU ARE ALWAYS GOINGG TO BE IN MUY HEART
June 26th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I am totally devasted by this horrible news. I grew up listening to his music and it was a huge part of my life. I remember seeing the Thriller video for the first time and it scared me when all the zombies were in the house after him!! HBO ended up having a behind the scenes on the making of Thriller and once I saw all the work Michael had put into that video and how he went through all the make-up to look like that wolf creature I felt a lot better. As I got older and understood more, I realized how talented and creative this man was. All his videos were work of arts! The world has lost an extremely talented and gifted artist, but his music will live forever. My heart goes out to his children and family. RIP Michael…..I will love you forever

I so can relate to this story. I started falling in love w/ MJ when I was in 5th grade. At 10 years old, after hearing the Thriller album and seeing him Moonwalk on the Grammy’s, I started dragging my dad to the convenience store on the way home from school every week to spend my allowance on the MJ memorabilia that I could buy, to cover the walls of my bedroom: posters of him in every video from the Thriller, pins with his face on it, different collector versions of Thriller and Off the Wall albums on vinyl, the glove, cut-out pictures from Teen Beat magazine - anything that made my heart skip a beat. I remember my favorite poster of him was from the video human nature. He dawned those sparkling shoes and stood in front of a long, lit up walkway behind him, his knee !&(+`^~&(*)(~`!^ ed up in the signature MJ stance, staring out at you with lovable but piercing eyes. By the end of 5th grade, my room was covered with Michael from corner to corner and I had all his old amazing Jackson 5 albums. I discovered him as a kid - he was even more amazing than I’d realized and I loved him more every day. I knew his life story from tabloids and teen magazines. I’m sad that his life is over but even when I was 10, I thought his life was sad in so many ways- he always seemed like a lost child who was blessed and cursed with talent and skill that was larger than his fragile soul could handle. I hope he has peace now.

I loved Michael…i cant believe hes gone yet. i could barley sleep…His music was playing in my mind….i will ALWAYS love you MICHAEL!!!! you are the best!!!!…I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
in 1988 i took my wife see mj at aintree park liverpool i wasn’t the fan but became one after the concert at the end of the night he performed man in the mirror i just remember the hairs on the back of neck standing on end. we have made a lot of changes in our life since then and when i hear that song today i still get a chill
June 26th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
You are so awsome Michael. You are my idol. I love you. You are the man that has the best music videos and the looks. You are the cutest. I love all of your music videos. Ecpesally Thriller. I love the part where you start to sing thriller. You also have the best dance moves to. You are the best man that ever lived. I love you!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I really can’t believe this, I am still trying to grasp this sad situation. I am going to really miss Michael’s spirit and creativeness, as an aspiring singer and performer myself, my most desired wish was to be able to meet Michael Jackson before I leave this earth. It never gave me the affect that he would be leaving before I get my chance. He has inspired every single individual in the world, no matter the race, in ways you can’t imagine. He made everyone want to dance and be as creative to the hightest level. I supported him through his trials, and it’s sad that many who has made fun of him feel really ashamed today. I will truly miss him, and I know in the next lifetime we’ll meet. I keep his children and his family in my prayers. I love you Michael may your music forever inspire and may you rest in peace. Remember he’s in a better place now, let’s rejoice and keep his soul young and alive!!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
I along with many, many ppl in the world are very saddened by the death of Michael!! You can ask anyone who knew me growing up, I was the Biggest M.J. fan around my area. i am sure many will disagree that thought they were to. But I still to this day have all my stuff, I never gave up on him like alot of others did!! I have my Thriller leather in my closet, I have over 2000 pics of him, from tabloids to books, posters, I even have shoe strings, watch, and a purse!!! I even had my own dance to Billie Jean, ask my brother, he always tried to out dance me to it all the time. Never could though. R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson!! You Will Be Greatly Missed Around The World!! And Love And Prayers To The Entire Jackson Family!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
MICHAEL WAS AN WILL ALWAYS BE AN ICON JUST LIKE ELVIS I GREW UP WITH HIM AND HIS MUSIC IT DOESN`T MATTER IF YOU ARE 10 OR 60 YOU STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC YOU COULD TELL HE WAS A VERY SWEET MAN AND VERY GENTLE HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS KIDS AND HIS FAMILY PLEASE TAKE CARE OF HIS BABIES…………
June 26th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
The first time I heard a M.J. song was when I was little. It was “Rock My World.” When I was 8, I really fell in love. Even though most of his music was before my time, I rocked out like it was brand new. I was moonwalking like it was the new thing to do. Yes this is a very sad, and tragic time, but Michael wouldn’t want us to be sad. So turn on ur t.v.’s or get on the internet nd jam to the legend like u never did before. R.I.P. Big Bruh!! My love to his family as well!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
My mom listened to him and I grew up on him!! U will always be my hero!! I love you!! U will be missed!!! R.I.P!!! The king of pop will never die!!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Please play black or white even all of micheals videos and i’m terrible sad and uspet that his dead and that my blessing and prayer to his loving and caring family.To let everyone know that he will always and forever be the King of Pop no one will ever amount to hifm. Also no can do the moon walk like him ever.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
I am truly sadddened by his death. My children watch as tears run down my cheeks. What they can’t possibly understand is that Michael Jackson brings back such good memories of growing up in the eighties. He was one of my biggest crushes a though I am a Latina and he was African American.I was hooked and in love. My parents couldn’t understand his music and I recall always tunning in when there was a glimps of him on T.V. weather it was American Bandstand or Soul Train and for sure all the music awards and the videos on channel 52. I remember when everyone talked about the Thriller video and it could only be seen on cable and we actually went to a neighborhood make shift of a candy store and we had to pay the kid to let us view the video. Those were good times. His talent exceeds that of many artist today. He was unique and innovative and genuine. Everyone wanted to be Michael Jackson. I remember dancing around trying to immitate his moves and finally getting the moonwalk. He was great and will be missed. May he be in peace and without judgement. My respects to his family and friends and the fans who have truly followed him. God Bless.To the Jackson Family thank you for sharing a great person with the rest of us. Peace.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
IT WAS 1982 WHEN I BOUGHT THE THRILLER ALBUM IN A RECORD STORE IN DOWNTOWN MÉXICO CITY. SINCE THAT MOMENT I REALIZE THAT HE WAS A KING, THE KING OF POP.
HIS MUSIC WAS ALWAYS WITH ME. I REMEMBER IN 1988 HIS INCREDIBLE LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS. THEN IN THE 90´S HIS ALBUM DANGEROUS WAS THE BOMB.
IN 1993 WAS A TOP NOTE WHEN MICHAEL JACKSON CAME TO MEXICO. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ MICHAEL JACKSON IN MEXICO¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
THAT WAS OCTOBER 93 WHEN THE DANGEROUS TOUR MADE ITS STOP IN MY COUNTRY AND MY PEOPLE ENJOY A GREAT CONCERT PERMFORMED BY A MAN WHO ALREADY WAS THE KING OF POP. AZTECA STADIUM WAS THE PLACE.
I JUST WANNA SHARE THIS TO EVERBODY AROUND THE WORLD AND WANNA SAY THANX TO MICHAEL JACKSON FOR GIVIN ME JOY, HAPINNES AND A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC ALONG 27 YEARS. NOW I HAVE 32. REST IN PEACE.
MJ FOR ALWAYS A LEGEND….THE LEGEND OF THE KING OF POP
June 26th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING MICHAEL JACKSON IN CONCERT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. I WANT TO SEND MY BLESSING TO HIS FAMILY. HE WAS AND IS A LEGAND RIP MJ
June 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
I couldnt sleep last night. I’ve been watching his videos for the past 24 hours in counting. He’s like superman and him dying is surreal. I was very down yesterday. But now I’m looking at his videos and listening to his music and his early passing was God’s way of saying he’s done his work here in earth. There’s nothing he needs to do more: he’s inspired almost every artist of his generation, ours and will continue to inspire those of future generations. He’s brought nothing but happiness to everyone Some even tried to crucify him b/c they didnt understand him but he remained victorious and loved by many. A lot of things in life that are petty don’t even matter to me anymore that’s how much his death has affected me. I’m really going to try to focus more on what God has me on this earth to do. That’s what I’ve gotten from this. Still I can’t believe he’s gone but he was too good for this world anyway. Genius doesnt begin to describe him. He was touched by God.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Rest in PARADISE. Their is not one person in the world whom Michael Jackson didn’t inspire. He really was a great person inside and out. Michael did make the world a better place, and he still does. The legend that we saw on the big screen, will now be in our hearts forever.
We will pray for you.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
my heart hurts for our most recent losses especially w. the loss of the king of pop. im not much for blogging or whatev but i honestly feel as if one of the most talented people to ever walk this earth has left us wanting more just like any true performer could possibly do. I got through alot because of his music and cant wait to see him perform again in another life hopefully with me actually being able to stand up afterwards shake his hand and thank him for everything. With love Michael and to your wonderful wonderful family, my love is with you all and please know this loss is tough and il be both mourning his life and celebrating his legacy.
“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” - Michael Jackson
i believe in you Michael!

I’m sitting here saddended by the loss of Michael Jackson. Since I heard yesterday afternoon that is all I can think about…. What a tragedy for the world and for his loved ones. My prayers are with the Jackson Family. We will never forget you, Michael. Your talent is unforgetable. Your music will live on. What a sad and gray day. God Bless your family.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I will always miss MJ he was my rolemodel. I will always miss him. When I first heard about it. I couldnt believe it. I cam home from outside playing and i was watching the news listening to music. And my mom told me MJ had died. I was very shocked. I couldnt believe it. I watch his movie all the time. I am still in shock. My mom was shock to. Well he is in a better place now where he wont get hurt or nonething. RIP MJ we will miss you so much. I am still wondering how did he die.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
People are such BS. Have we forgotten that this guy had sleepovers with little boys in his bed; that gave alchohol (Jesus Juice) to children; and showed pornographic material to kids. A guy who paid of a family off to not bring their molestation case to court. This is a guy who manufactured his freakiness in the press to keep himself popular & then cried foul when they called him ‘Wacko Jacko”. This is a guy, if he wasn’t a big pop star, most people would’ve chased out of the neighborhood. He wasn’t a musical genius. Quincy Jones is the genius. The guy couldn’t even play an istrument. Have you listened to the songs? There are some complex chords in there. How can a guy who can’t even play an instrument come up with those chords? The answer is he didn’t. Quincy Jones did & that is the truth. Also, Thriller is not the biggest sellin album of all time. Infact, the Eagles hold that honor with their “Greatest Hits” album. The “King of Pop” thing came from him not the people. He put it out in the press and manipulated it to the public to start calling him that. Elvis never called himself the “King of Rock’n Roll”. He always said Jesus was the King. Elvis got that !+#+_&+!^~^~*($ le from the people. There’s a big differences. Let’s see if people are still lining up to remember him in 30 years. I don’t think so, because, when the dust clears & the faux sainthood dies all we’ll see is a narcissistic freak who robbed some poor, unfortunate kids of their innocence!!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
i loved M.J as i was growing up in the 80’s ,90’s and 2000 .he will NEVER be forgotten he was the best that every done it and ever will.i remeber singing his song for our 5th grade graduation.i also had a leather jacket as well as a glove ,who didnt like mike his music touched us all
June 26th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
He is and always will be an icon. He brought so much happiness into so many childrens lives that needed something to look forward to. I’m forty years old and Michael was a big part of my childhood. He will always be remembered never forgotten.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
I love MJ. I looked at him any diffrent like some people do. They think he molested kids and a whole bunch of stuff that was in the tabs. I personally don’t think he did any of those awful things. My fav. album would have to be the Thriller. My friends and I when I was in the 7th grade got up infront of the class and danced to Thriller. I like most of his songs, but i like Black or White the best. It’s saying “anybody” can do anything black or white. He sent alot of meaning to me, and i can’t believe he left this world yesterday. I am sure he is in a much much much happier place now.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
michael jackson was my moms life she loved him to death dont worry i did and still do even know hes died hes still alive well in my world he is and for those of you that are having emotional brake downs im with you but you have to pull your self back together soner or later but for know r.i.p the king of pop even know your died you and your music will never be for goten sincerly one of you fans.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Thanks MJ for are the stars in your videos, and who else could have had big film name directors direct their videos…WHO’S BAD!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
mym favorite memory of Michael Jackson would have to be the first time i saw “The Way You Make Me Feel” music video. The way he came on to that girl was so great. I’ve never seen a man snap at a women to get her attention and it acually worked. He should get an awadr just for that video. He will be forever missed and never for gotten.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I was two years old when thriller came out but i still remember my mother playing his records when we were kids! I have so many favorite M.J songs but i have two say my all time favorite is “YOU’RE NOT ALONE”! IM still crying and i really cant believe that he’s gone Michael I luv you and you will be missed!
June 26th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I have been fighting the tears all day. This is very hard for me. I have loved him since I was a little girl.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
My fav was WE ARE THE WORLD,so many musical stars he gathered to raise money for Africa.I believe that was his philosophy,about life.His performances were so star studded.His music spoke for what he felt the world should be.Musical and Loved Icon, Like Selena Q.Perez,the Queen of Tejano Music and the KING of Rock and Roll Elvis,John Lennon.May they be waiting for Micheal at the Gates of heaven, to make the sky shine bright at night.I pray he and Farrah held hands while meeting our maker.God Bless the whole Jackson family, know the whole world mourns his loss. His stage is now silent, but he will live on, thru his exceptional talent.Thank U VH-! for giving us a way to share our felt of loss with the world.Lavita Bradley Chapin
June 26th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
U are A SMOOTH CRIMINAL. U know THE WAY U MAKE ME FEEL. U will always be The King of Pop. R.I.P. MJ. Your music will 4ever keep u alive. My condolences to the children and the family.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
ever since i saw the jackson five movie i wanted to meet michael jackson! my favorite song is abc and black or white! i love you michael!
June 26th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
My wife and I have all his music, we are truly saddened by his untimely death,I agree with my wife,his talent, his music, was a way of his view of the world. What i don’t like is the rude comments of this man.Listen up to all of you …..SIMON I read your comment.I wonder Simon who or Simon says…………He was acquitted.If you were not there, and now from 1st hand, we should pray for you.The world already knows off his mis-fortune.I heard the dirt on the radio today, it made me ill.MICHEAL JACKSON WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF POP.He has met our maker, let him be the Judge.God Bless the Jackson family, and our sorrow for having to read, and hear gross things past.John T.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Kate, very well summarized. How many girls out there experienced their first crush because of Michael. I’m watching these videos of him when he was younger and I remember why it is I was so in love with him when I was younger! His talent was immense. People can say what they want about Michael and the allegations that were brought against him. It was a get rich quick scheme in my opinion, but that’s not what we are going to dwell on now. The world is a little less bright today. A part of my childhood is gone. I didn’t realize how many of my memories involved Michael and his music. He’s dancing on a big stage now! RIP
June 26th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
The world has truely loss an incredible and unforgetable man..Mr. Michael Jackson. MJ was not just a star, he was a legend. No one can walk under his shadows. There will be no legend or king of pop like him. My prayers goes out to his family, but most of all his 3 children, his mother, and father. Some people were cruel, mean, and nasty to MJ, which made him isolated. He was labeled and humiliated many times. People misunderstood him, treated him bad, and used him for their own gains, but with everything he faced, he was super kind, sweet, and given. But now he’s dead, the same people that were crucifying him are giving him praises. God will truely bless you MJ. May God Almighty favor, protect, guide, and give you the peace you deserve.. Though you are gone, but I know you are finally at peace. MJ, I pray for God Almighty to protects and favor your children and you family in Jesus Name. Love Always, your # one fan.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I was luck to have worked with him on the Dangerious World Tour lll. Even though we had the press imbeded on the tour the would always over look his other side.
Every city that the Tour went to, the head woman in catering was given a suit-case filled with about $80k. She would go to the local toys “R” us type store, buy up toys. Then Michael,
w/body gards and a truck full of toys would head to the local “Childrens Hospital.”
Michael would spen the day, one child at a time giving them toys and just being with them and chatting with them. When in South America, someone said why does he do this as these childern have no idead who he even is. I just said That Is Michael. He must have spent millions on toy while on that Tour as well as countless hours talking with kids some of which didn’t speak english. But that was the givng side that the press would not report to anyone. That is why I need to share that with you all now.
While in Isreal, he stopped going on stage to have a quick conversation with Bill, his personel mgr. Everything was ready pre-start music was going and everyone on head-set is going where is he?
Michael asked Bill to set up a party day with “his crew.” Bill said,but they are only the crew Michael! Michael said “yes, but they are my crew and I want to get to know them and party with them at least one night.” “Can you do ithis or do I need to hire someone else to do it.”
Bill said he would take care of it and he did. We had the “fun-park” all evening long.
Great memories to share.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:29 pm

SONGS THAT WILL LAST FOREVER, EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE
NOT AROUND ANYMORE TO SING THEM
FROM POP TO R&B TO ROCK AND SOUL
YOU EVEN MADE ANTHEMS
EVER SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE BOY, YOUR MUSIC
ALWAYS MADE PEOPLE FULL OF JOY
WHETHER YOU WERE HERE IN THE U.S. OR ABROAD,
YOU GAVE EVERYBODY A MOMENT IN TIME TO FORGET
ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS
SOMETHING THAT ONLY A FEW COULD DO
YOU WERE ALWAYS IN THE LIMELIGHT
BUT YET, WITH THE PRESS, YOU HAD TO FIGHT
YOU KNEW WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS RIGHT
SOMETIMES IT WAS AN EERIE SIGHT
WELL NOW YOU’RE GONE, BUT YOU’LL ALWAYS

i was only 4 years old when my babysitters daughter had a box set of the videos of micheal jackson. i walked in her room while she was watching thriller. i was so scared and i freaked out when i first saw it. about a week later i was in there dancing and singing every single song on that video. from billie jean to beat it. micheal jackson was absoloutley amazing. people may think he is a child molester but i seriously don’t believe he did it. he loves the world. he would never harm a child in any way. sure alot of people are upset about him passing on, trust me i was crying when i first found out and im only 14. but if you think about it he lived a great life. he got to go everywhere he met everyone and did so many things in his lifetime. he was one of the best artists on the world and he will never be forgotten. we will always love him no matter what. i want to give his family and friends my sympathy for him and the king of pop will live on forever. may he rest in peace.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson when he was with the Jackson 5. I watched the movie that was made about his life growing up. I’m a fan of all his siblings. I will miss him and his music. My deepest condolences go to the family during this time. I Love You All.
June 26th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
MJ you’re a “TITAN” who performed for the “GODS”! You changed how videos were made in order to reflect mini-films instead of a image of a song. VHI, play: “SAY, SAY, SAY” with PC and his late wife. He really displayed “STARPOWER” from his cartoon and TV show. I enjoy watching MJ videos, cuz they show how far we’ve progress!!!!!!! One more thing, he is the only person to premier a music video on NBC, or ABC one of those? Top that artist of TODAY!!!!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
What a sad and tragic loss. Michael will be missed and many hugs, kisses and blessings to his friends and family as they mourn their loss.
God bless !

Michael was a great singer, he danced the best out of everybody I have seen dance.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I remember everything about michal jackson we were born the same year and when i was young i liked my first girl and the song was ill be there i cant beleave he is dead, but he lives on in my heart. thanks for all the good you did in this world and in the next one. love you mr. jackson. bob b
June 26th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
i am truly devastated that my favorite artist is gone. i cant remember the first time i saw or heard michael jackson because he has always been apart of my life since i can remember. being born in 1988, i only caught the last part of his career when he was putting out music back to back. i had such a great time as a young girl listening to his music. i have to say that it seemed like there was always something to listen to because he was always putting out great music that everyone enjoyed. i have never met anyone in my lifetime who could not sing a song by michael jackson. Michael Jackson was the only reason why i was allowed to watch mtv late at night because of his premier videos that he would put out. i feel like a family member has past away and i am pretty sure that the whole world can say the same thing. he will forever be in my heart.
michael jackson i love you, miss you, and your music will live on for even more generations to come..
June 26th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
I remember seeing the “Thriller” video for the first time when I was 5. I quickly had my mom get a VHS tape and record it so i could watch it over and over again. Since then I have always had a love for his music. Outside of his career he made alot of mistakes and did some bad things, but thats not what I’ll remember him for. I’ll remember him for creating a path for many of the musicians we love today.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
One of the very first LP albums I got with my microphone-record player was Michael Jacksons Thriller… My brother and I would sing and listen to that record every night till my mom made us go to bed. Rest in Peace Michael! Hopefully you finally now have some!

I remember plenty of wonderful things about micheal, in which all were given to me by the media,but me naming them will not bring him back. For those of you that don’t know………….Death is the only thing that’s promised to all of us at birth and there are no real guarantees to even make out of conception. When its your time, its your time………..No matter how much people love him. No matter how many records he sold. No matter how much money he had. No matter how much I love his music and respect him. No matter how much good he did in the world during his lifespan. If his house was not in order at the time of his death…………Then it was all for nothing.

Michael Was A great Father, Brother, Friend, Son, And Entertainer. So Young He Was <but Forever Will Live On. I’m One Of Those Millions Out in The World That Owes Michael A Great Deal Of Gratitude. He Will Be Greatly Missed. So Long Brother . You Were Loved By Us All. You Are The Reason I Can Do The Moonwalk For Crying Out Loud. I Love You Brother. You Left Us For Now, But We Will See You Again Real Soon. So Long Brother Michael.

What a tragety I grew up with the 80s and enjoyed the music he gave us. Nevermind the bad times and falsehoods of his life…he was a great!

One of the greatest songs every recorded is “Man In The Mirror”. I was never “for” or “against” Michael Jackson. No opinion….. until I heard that song. For me, it was a defining moment. Those words will forever live as a testament and a challenge to all of us here on this earth. He left this mission for our planet.

I remember singing and danceing to thriller he really is the king of pop
June 26th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
i was about 8 when i first heard Michael Jackson’s music, my parents were playing his record “Bad” and i absolutely loved it… from watching his tours on T.V to jumping out of the closet with a hat and glove on i’ve loved his music..Michael Jackson one of the people that will never be forgotton, especially by me…he is an icon and a hero to millions and forever will be known as the “king of pop”
June 26th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
My oldest music memory is listening to Michael on tape in my fathers old pick up truck. Now my greatest fear is that someday my own children will not know the supreme tallents Michael Jackson had. He may of left this world but his music must live on.

Wow, this was like losing an older brother. He was always there, you could hear him but didn’t always see him. But you knew he was there. I was shocked and taken back to a memory of when I first saw “Thriller”. My “mother” pushed children out of the way to see the video on a large screen at a TV store in our mall. It was amazing. I still know all the words. It is such a loss. I am sad for his family, children and his fans.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Words cannot express my deepest & most sincere sympathies for his family, friends & all the fans world-wide in this time of a great loss.
We have lost the greatest icon of our time.
I’ve been a fan of this brilliant musician since I was six & listened to the Jackson 5. My first album I could call my own was ‘Off The Wall’. I have followed him throughout the good times & the bad. He was my first true ‘hero’ & will always hold that special place in my
heart.
I love you, Michael for everything you did & everything you were. I’m sorry I never got the chance to say thank you to you personally for enriching my life with all your brilliance. You will truly be missed, but your legacy will live forever within my heart & the hearts of so many others & beyond.
You & yours are in my thoughts & prayers at this sad time. May you finally have the peace you so longed for, SweetHeart.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Heard him on the radio when I was 6. Knew that kid would be famous. Saw the movie on his and his brothers’ lives. Felt so bad, and couldn’t believe he went through a rough childhood at home like me and my brothers did.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
everytime i hear is name ill always remember what a great man he was. a man who didnt even know him self touch hearts of every creed and race around the world omg im crying while writing this comment. i would have given up anything to see him perform in my country.
he truly was and will always be the best king that ever lived.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
I was stunned when they sayed michael died.i always tryed to copy his moves.I told all my friends about him and a loved all his songs.I was such a great fan of him a even have a thriller jacket in my room. Michaels music will live on forever and i will remember it utel my time.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
The Genius is now forever a legend. He captured our hearts since he sang his ABC’s and has never let go and never will. I was 11 years old when I first heard him and his brothers perform. His gentle spirit was always there. He broke the color lines when he was a child that few could do as adults. He loved his fans more I think we knew I hold on to that and feel blessed that we had Michael for these 50 years. There will never be another like him all the kings are gone. Long live their legends.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:00 am
“The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be”
michael jackson was the best dancer in the world, he was the greatest performer of all time and had the voice of a god. he was a huge humanitarian and gave us his fans all he had. he alwayss to thanks us but its time for a change….for us to thank him for it all. my best wishes go out to the jackson family and to michael you will always be loved and missed
June 27th, 2009 at 12:04 am
I actually was raised with Michael Jackson and his family everyday my sisters and I was fans of them and their family. The Brothers are the Same age as my sisters. But Michael
was my favorite from the first time I seen him perform on T.V. especailly the American Band
Stand, I would run home from school to listen to Cassie radio station every single day. I am now
50 years old myself. I will miss him he seem like a brother I grew up with has gone on to another place and time God called him because he had completed his task that God had for him. I quite sure he is right now entertaining someone and smiling with that shy boyish look.
All of Michael songs was a gifted and he did what God wanted him to do with his talents. May God continue to be with his entire family and give them strength. I know what it is like to lose a love one. Because to me he was just a brother I grew up with.
Peace and love to he Jackson family.

He was my idol i looked up and grew up on his music. I’m still can’t belive he is not with us anymore but we all love him. He will alway remain in our hearts.My blessing goes out to the family and his kids may the good lord help his family we all love and will still love “THE KING”!!!!<3
June 27th, 2009 at 12:30 am
Michael Jackson was and still is the best singer and dancer. He has touched so many people lives,he had vision to change the lives of young children. I got to say all that he went through should open alot of our minds and to understand that -we only have one life to live. Therefore we should follow our heart and help our children grow further and live our lives to the fulliest. We need to cherish each moment we spend with our family and loved ones. Because life is not promise to anyone. Even though I did not get a chance to meet you but, you have inspired me alot in my childhood to work with children and to keep hope alive. God Bless You
Love you Michael
Rest In Peace
June 27th, 2009 at 12:31 am
AT 50TH HE LEFT TO SOON THE LORD WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM STAY ALIVE BUT GUESS IT WAS HIS TIME TO GO LOOK AT THIS AS A BLESSING DON’T CRY BE HAPPY THE LORD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING EVERY HAPPENDS FOR A REASON MY PRAYERS GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY XOXOXO<3
June 27th, 2009 at 12:41 am
When I was in middle school I became really obsessed with Michael Jackson. I struggled with depression and kids spread wild rumors about me. In a weird way I felt like I could identify with him because he was always judged for what he did and supposedly did. His music made me happy was an escape. No can ever be better than MJ.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:42 am
God bless you Michael now and forever.You were part of this fantastic world,the music.Every man or woman who listened to you will remember THE WAY YOU MAKE US FEEL. No matter the time passes,we will have something of you inside us. See you soon MICHAEL JACKSON.

When I was young, me and my older brother would dance to the Micheal Jackson Thriller video while my parents would video tape us. I have so many treasured items of Micheals career and he has been a major model in my life. I love you Micheal. You really are free now. RIP!
June 27th, 2009 at 12:55 am
Micheal was an Icon of my time. When Thriller was released I had just started driving and was coming into my own maturity. I remember we used to try to dance like him in our dance clubs that we had at the time. I remember I used to dress like him and the girls liked it. Thank you Micheal for all the memories that were possible because of you. To the family God Bless you and thank you for sharing your son and brother with world. Micheal Rest in Peace.

June 27th, 2009 at 1:38 am
I remember as a little girl wanting to marry Michael Jackson, My mom bought me all his albums and she also told me I was born the day and month as he was. I was so happy I protected my albums, cleaned my needle on my record player to protect the records. Then “Off the Wall” came out I was hooked. Michael Jackson kept me out of trouble, when everyone was out side getting into trouble I was in my room singing his songs and I knew every lyric for every song. I am still waiting for someone to tell me I am dreaming or this is a hoax. I have not cried this much since never. Watching VH1 is heart breaking but I cant help watching. Thank you for the great memories and fantastic videos. Michael you will always be a part of my son and I history. Love you always. I will meet you upstairs.
June 27th, 2009 at 1:42 am
I think That Michael was a gift to the world. His loss is great and is very painfull, but he will never be forgotten

June 27th, 2009 at 2:19 am
He was the first superstar i remember of my childhood, my generation. It was his posters that graced my bedroom walls before any other. I am known amongst my friends as THE Michael Jackson fan. I played his music all the way up until his untimely death; not giving a damn; even to the ridicule of my friends. I can only admit that I could not help but shed tears over the loss of the greatest entertainer of all time. Thank you Mike for the influence you have had not only in my lifetime, but for millions others. Rest in peace.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:25 am
I remember listening to his songs and trying to copy his moves, singing along with him and loving every minute of it. His duet with Paul McCartney was one my best friend and I sang along with as we were playfully fighting over the same girl….God blessed us with his great appeal and showmanship…We will miss you M J……Thanks for the memories…….
June 27th, 2009 at 2:31 am
When I was a little girl I had a magazine cover photo of Michael on my bedroom wall held with a little scotch tape. When I was older I bought the Thriller album with money from housework. We have grown up together & it breaks my heart to see him go. He may have been odd in his way but he is a piece of all of us. May he rest soundly.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:37 am
THANK YOU, Michael for ALL of your amazing, glorious, innovative, groundbreaking, visionary music and artistry. You’ll be a tough act to follow and dearly missed.
Simply stated: YOU are the best and your musical genius is unrivaled in this era. There is: One Mozart! One Stradivarius! One Satchmo! One Stravinsky! One Gershwin! One Ella! One Disney! One Fred & Ginger! One Liberace! One Miles Davis! One Pavarotti! and One Michael Jackson!!! Many are called but only ONE is truly touched.
While you were here with us, you blessed us with your awesome talent and we loved every moment of it. Michael, we will always celebrate your musical legacy because it is so compelling and interwoven into our lives. But now Michael you rightfully take YOUR place among the others who have stood on the pinnacle of the pyramid of greatness. Rest in Peace –
knowing that you showed the rest of us that “We are the World”… the shear joy of a “Thriller”… how good “Bad” could be… how important the”Earthsong” is… and that we’re the “Man in the Mirror” needing to change our ways… so that we truly live like it makes no difference if you’re “Black or White” … and just to “Jam” and “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”… all the while “Remembering the Time” and knowing we can “Never Say Goodbye”!
Michael Jackson: August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009 ;-(
Thank You!
June 27th, 2009 at 2:38 am
I am only 3 months younger than Michael and have listened to his music for as long as I can remember. The Jackson 5 and Osmond pictures graced my walls growing up. I loved their music. In the early 80’s when Michael came back with a BANG and moonwalked across my T.V. screen, I feel in love all over again. By then I was married to a racist pig, and I would have to watch his videos on MTV at night after he went to bed. I loved how smooth Michael was and his facial expressions when he would sing. He really put his heart and soul into every song. During the “rough times” of his life I chose not to form an opinion. Maybe I was afraid it would tarnish the way I saw him. Now that he is gone I realize it never was for us to judge him or call him a child abuser, especially after he was not convicted of the crime. Please stop judging him now. God is and always has been his, and our judge. I love the Michael I saw! A wonderful very brilliant talented and insightful man. Just listen to his songs! They have meaning! No matter the outcome of his autopsy, I still love and have the utmost respect for this man who unknowingly shared my life, and made it better on days I would hear his voice in the songs he sang. I truly believe there was nothing he couldn’t do!! We have all been cheated now by his untimely death, and we cheated ourselves out of all the years we caused him to practically go into hiding. We shall never know what could have been. I will forever miss you!! And by the way Michael, that rascist pig that forced me to hide to enjoy your talent, now is the grandfather of two of the most beautiful bi-racial children on earth. Peace be with the Jackson family.

June 27th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Michael can you do the moonwalk one more time!!!
You will always live and be remembered by millions Michael because you are a legend!!!! Don’t worry and you are an angel now!!!! Live on !!! See you in Heaven!!!!!

It was amazing the way he could molest children and pay them off to get away with it.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:47 am

prayers and love to the Jackson family and fans all over the world.
we’ll always love you.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:50 am

I am 39 years old and my youngest daughter just loves MJ, I grew up on his music in the 80’s and I have passed that onto my daughters. Michael you will be saddly missed. RIP
June 27th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I just lost my uncle who was the first person to take me to a Jackson 5 concert, as I heard the news that Michael had passed on I immediately reflected on that first concert, me in my frilly vest and big hat with my uncle n a business suit, I was in heaven! Rest in peace uncle and Michael. Heaven must be smiling:)
June 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
WOW, still in shock over the death of Michael Jackson. He was an awesome person. He will truely be missed. We are listening to his music and my baby is sitting in her walker and rocking to his musci. R.I.P Michael. Now the King of Pop and the King of Rock,Elvis himself, can rock on in a better place. The music up there is going to be great. All the angels are going to have a blast. R.I.P.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Whether you loved Micheal or not, you cannot dismiss the fact that his talent not only changed the face of music, videos and dance in entertainment, it has also linked generations of families since his first recording with his brothers in 1969. Many of us original Hip Hop Generation lovers (the 40 somethings), remember the young extremely talented young boy from Gary, Indiana everyone wanted to emulate. From elementary school to college, to marriage and having kids, his music and life effected us in so many different ways. However, what he will be most remembered for is not only his eccentric ways but his ability to inspire generations to see beyond “Black and White”. Absolutely no one will ever replace him. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.
My time line for Michael Jackson:
1970’s
I would pretend the pillow was Michael Jackson and kiss the pillow. My aunt would kiss her pillow pretending her pillow was Jermaine. We would fight over who would get to kiss Micheal. I would get to pretend to kiss Michael most of the time because I was younger than my aunt.
1980’s
I tried to do all the dance routines in the videos for “Beat It” and “Bad”. I never could get it!
The Jackson came to Rochester to perform while I was in high school. I pretended to be a reporter from my high school and I wanted and interview so I could get back stage. After finally talking my way back stage, my friends and I started screaming and got kicked out.
1990’s
My college roommates and I would watch all the videos from the Thriller album. Our favorite was “Come Together” a remake of the Beatles and Dirty Diana. We would sit in front of the television every day attempting to do every step he did in the video.
2000’s
My kids have been watching the videos and they are amazed! They say “how did he do that?” The world will never know.
A little piece of my heart is sadden by his passing. It feels as if a part of my history has just passed away.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Hi my name is Miranda, I couldn’t believe Michael died on Thursday. I just wish he had not died because he had a great voice. I loved his music it rocked. My whole family misses him and his music. Michael Jackson rocks. Yes he was the king of pop.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:46 am
LIKE A BOY HIS SONG WAS NUTURED WITH LOVE
LIKE A DANCER HE CREATED STYLES THAT WROTE HIS NAME
LIKE A KING HE CREATED A WORLD AND RULED RESOLUTLEY.
HE LIVED FOR OTHERS; MICHEAL YOU WILL LIVE AGAIN AS ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS!
June 27th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Last night Charlie Gibson said that eventhough we hope Michale will be remenbered for his music he would also be remembered for all the other stuff to. What I want the world to know is that all brilian artists have tourcherd souls. MJ was a legend just like Bob Marley, Elvis, Van Gogh and so many other atist who were at the top of their fields. I have defended MJ everytime someone put him down and I always. I love hime beyond words and reasons. He is a ledgend. I will never be able to say goodby (Nerver Can Say Goodby)
My heart is yours MJ… forever and always
June 27th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I was just a child when Michael was at the top of the universe in the 80’s but I knew who he was and what his accomplishments were. Now that I am in my twenties I know so much more now than back then I appreciate him even more. Michael Joseph Jackson the Greatest.Of.All.Time.(The G.O.A.T) The King of Pop “Never can say goodbye”
June 27th, 2009 at 9:09 am
I Remember Michael Jackson From the 80s and 90s, I grew up listening to his music from the 80s and on,,,, I have a lot of favorite memories of MJ,, But i’d have to say that one of my favorite videos is Thriller… He Will be missed but not forgotton,,,,

June 27th, 2009 at 9:37 am
I was born in 1979, and Michael Jackson’s music quickly became the soundtrack of my childhood. I have such wonderful memories set to each one of his songs and I can clearly remember the premieres of all of his videos - which were huge events in my house. From being my first crush, to learning his dance routines with my mom, to my brother wearing his white glove and red “Beat It” jacket, Michael Jackson and his music were irreplacable in my youth. He helped to shaped who I am and influenced how I would hear music for the rest of my life. A piece of my childhood died on Thursday, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all Michael has given me. We’ll miss you!
June 27th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I rember the first time I herd thriller and I was danceing.I aso rember when I first tryed the moon walk and I mesed up alot michlel jackson was an awsome singer he got me to try singing.I hope he is happy in hevin.

I grow lissing to Michael Jackson in the late 70’s all the way tell know in 2009.He was a good person.But know he can moon walk into the gold gates and get down with James Brown.My favorite song by Michael Jackson is We Are the World.May Michael Jackson R.I.P. i while always play his music in my room and at house partys.Keep your heads up to the Jackson Family.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Micheal was the frist concert i ever went to when i was 5 and i loved him ever since i will never forget him he will all ways be the King of Pop to me R.I.P. micheal your music will live on
June 27th, 2009 at 10:30 am
I remember watching MJ and the Jackson 5 on television and dancing to Dancing Machine, Enjoy Yourself. Everytime I hear a song I close my eyes and see where I was when it first came out. One of my favorite songs is Man in the Mirror. My prayers go out to his family and Micheal Jackson will surely be missed. Rest in Peace I Love you
June 27th, 2009 at 10:32 am
I remember as a child the first time I heard the song “Man in the Mirror” it was one of the most life changing times in my life. As a child I had no idea of the haterid in the world b/c I was blessed with a mother who did not raise us with hate so of course seeing the video was a real life changer. Michael I thank you for the wonderful times you gave me as a child and adult. I am so sorry you were not shown more love and gratitude in your life. I know that you are in a better place now surrounded by so much love by your angels. You will always be remembered and loved. Now it’s time to let your sould rest in peace. XOXO

I was obsessed with Micheal Jackson when the Thriller Album came out. I used to sing to the centerfold and wish it was me he was holding. My best friend and I used to have dance contests to his music and she would always win. LOL. Sachane
June 27th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Michael, was a great singer and I enjoyed listening to his music and I loved his moonwalk, which is so amazing to watch. He is a awesome dancer. You are in heaven with the angels and the lord. I will never forget your amazing talent that you brought to the world. You are blessed what the lord gave you.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:40 am
I wish Michael was still Alive. I never thought that I would be so affected by his death. and now i am a fan and i think he was so cute. R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON A.K.A ( THE KING OF POP. =) =( =) =(
June 27th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Michael had such an impact on all of ushere and around the world. I always wanted to meet him but never got the opportunity. Whenever I watched him on TV or heard one of his songs it always brought a smile to my face. To watch him perform was like magic, he danced like no other and made it look so easy! He was truly blessed with incredible talent and there will NEVER be another like him. I am hurt and saddened by his untimely death, my thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will always feel he is here with us. He was indeed one of a kind. I love you Michael and “You Are Not Alone” God will take care of you.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:47 am
MICHAEL JACKSON was a cool man I wish I could meet him and if I could say one to michael I’ll say you can doit
June 27th, 2009 at 11:04 am
The end of an era! That’s what this is you know. I was 8 or 9 years old when Michael & his brothers appeared on TV. I loved all of it at that age and I couldn’t wait to see what they would do next. Then Michael went out on his own as a young man…..and blew us all away. It’s been like that ever since. To this day, I am still amazed at how he moved - so fluidly - and I think my love for dancing stems from watching him, although I can’t dance ANYTHING like what he did. Watching the videos that VH1 was showing on TV last night was like watching them all for the first time again. I grew up with MJ on the airwaves. I watched him grow as a person, artist, songwriter and choreographer. The man has always amazed me musically and I”m very grateful and blessed to have been able to experience the feeling he brought to the world with his music, dance, & a style that was all his own. May God grant him everlasting life. The King of Pop will be missed by more than his family. God bless!

June 27th, 2009 at 11:13 am
He will NEVER be replaced! Thats for sure… He was one of a kind! I grew up listing to him on the music chanelles ans radio stations… He will be missed!!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:14 am
I am older than Michael by a few months. I definitely remember the Jackson 5 and when they started performing. He is indeed the “King of Pop.” He will never be forgotten and we have certainly lost a magnificent musician. Rest in peace. My condolences to the Jackson family.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:16 am
i was a fan first when they first came on the music scene.it was just the start of things to come.we all watched michael grow as a man and a performer.the transformation was just wonderful. and i passed my love of his music onto my children.
the first time the thriller video came on tv, i had a livingroom filled with kids, they all wanted to learn the dance. they would make me rewind the tape over and over again until they all got it right,, we will all miss him but thank god his music will live on and on and he wont be forgotten
June 27th, 2009 at 11:26 am
My cousins Kirk and Craig would always sing”Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough”…and that song alwyays mad me blush….even then I thought I would marry Michael Jackson….especially when Michael did the MOONWALK at the Motown 25th Anniversary special….OMG, I lost my mind…I was in front of the televison screaming to the top of my lungs….My mother thought ha hurt myself….every girl I knew wanted to be his PYT….I even played sick from school for the premiere of the Jackson 5 cartoon….it came on before we were dismissed…I had to see it…and I’m glad I did!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Offering prayers to the entire Jackson Family.( incl his children and his sibling’s children)..Michael reached four (4) generations in my family. I am now 59 yrs old meaning my parents (now deceased) and my siblings first saw him and his brothers on the Ed Sullivan show and we like many Americans had no idea how far this group would go. When Michael broke away on his own we thought he might “drown” without his brothers. Well we were wrong and I am glad because he brought so much entertainment that my grand children (oldest one is 17) was able to embrace him. We feel as if we have lost a loved one…(we did)..So from all of my siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and other extended members…We hope you will be able to now Rest in Peace and bring living peace to those left behind…

June 27th, 2009 at 11:31 am
The news of the death of Michael was such a shock, I couldn’t believe that he died, I’m 5 years older than Michael and that means I basically grew up with Michael and the pain that he is gone is unbearable, the question in my mind is why! Not only did michael die, but a part of the whole world has died as he will never be replaced. Because of the shock we are currently waiting to exhale, as if it’s just a dream. My prayers are with the family, we love you Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:38 am

THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. GENIUS LIKES THIS COMES ONCE IN A MILLION. EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS, “ONE IN A MILLION”. HE STANDS ALONE!!!! GOD BLESS!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:47 am
My earliest memories are of me and my best childhood freind jumping on my bed acting like we were fighting and singing along to “Beat It”. That same year, for my birthday, I got a replica Michael Jackson jacket like the one he wore in the “Beat It” video. Michaels death has been a serious blow to me and my siblings, our childhood almost revolved around his music. He will be dearly missed.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Michael…Such a tortured & talented soul! I think the song “Have You Seen My Childhood” and the naming of ranch “Neverland” said it all, really. Your fans loved you Michael and you worked hard to be loved. We will miss you, but I pray you are finally at peace and in the presence of God. You will be loved forever & never forgotten…

I was working for an airline at the ticket counter at LAX. It was February, what used to be an historically slow time for traveling. It was also during the height of the Michael Jackson ‘look-alike’ days. Since it was slow and we were both Michael Jackson fans, one of the skycaps had come in to talk, and we were talking about all of the MJ look-a-like’s that had been on TV recently, which were the best, etc., when a non-descript sedan pulled up to the curb and out stepped a man in a red jacket and headed toward the ticket counter. I told the skycap ‘turn around…this has to be the best look-a-like I’ve seen.’ The man approached me at the ticket counter and as he stepped up to me, I said ‘Wow, what a coincidence…we were just talking about all of the Michael Jackson look-a-like’s there are now, and you have to be the best I’ve ever seen.’ I no sooner finished my sentence when a supervisor came from the back office and took him away. I looked at the skycap and laughed saying, ‘Oh no, it cant be!’ As soon as I could, I broke away and went to the aircraft to find him sitting in the front row. I went over and apologized but he was laughing. He said it was the best laugh he’d had all day. He was so nice…I will never forget it.

There are no words that could possibly express our emotions right now. When I was young we used to go to Gary, Indiana to visit cousins who lived by the jacksons and everybody in the neighborhood used to be upset that they could not come outside to play. Eventually kids just stopped asking. But we all knew that their house it looked cold and empty. I did not live there and I guess I was too young to remember the details but whenever we visited I always looked at that house…..and wondered why those kids don’t play outside…..now I know!
Michael has always been one of my favorite performers and our family of ten has lost a true and loving friend. Its a lot of us and we all remember the jacksons’ as if they were a part of our family. We love you and can sympahize we lost a younger brother also. God’s speed!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:55 am
When michael jackson died june 25 2009 at age 50 it was like his chilhood died because michael jackson never had a childhood it was always singing but micheal jackson died of a heart attack 1958-2009 micheal jackson made 7 albums in 2 years nobody could beat his record nobody could take the the place of micheal jackson the king of pop r.i.p we love you an will never forget you love and respect.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:56 am
It broke my heart when I heard the tragic news,I’ve loved Michael since I was a kid and losing him is like losing a brother may god bless the whole Jackson family. from Atlanta
June 27th, 2009 at 11:56 am
MJ transcended generations. I remember my children spending the weekend with my mother. When I would go to pick them up I would find my mother and my 2 children in the living, HiFi blasting and Beat It playing and the three of them dancing. This grandmother was the mother that made me turn my radio down. Thanks Michael!
June 27th, 2009 at 11:57 am
My first crush was Michael Jackson when i was about 5 years old. I have loved him ever since i was a little girl.Michael has been a legend for many years. I will miss him very much i will never forget him. He will always be in my heart. He will always be The King Of Pop. He will be remembered by us all. It happend so fast and he was so young it is hard to believe that he passed on. R.I.P MJ. God Bless Him.

the biggest loss in music history! no words can express my sorrow!
June 27th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Michael undoubtedly was a legend and we were all looking forward to Michael’s comeback in July, while I am in US, I kept telling my husband I wish there was some way we could catch his show at London. He is definitely going to be missed but one thing is **&&_`^)%(+^$@^ ured that I am going to make my baby girl aware of Michael and his music …his music can never die…it means too much to the world of music lovers. Heal the world, they don’t really care about us, Earth song, we are the world and many many more beautiful meaningful words sung in unforgettable rhythm …Michael ‘You Rock’
June 27th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Micheal was one of my first introductions to pop music as a child. His videos were gold to me. What an inspiration he was- someone I grew up with and looked up to. He became a part of my family…like a brother I never met but certainly loved. Have a safe journey Micheal I love you! Peace

When I was 4 or 5, I BEGGED my parents to let me rent the making of Thriller (on VHS, of course). After weeks of pleading, they finally gave in. (It’ pays to be an only child!) We got home and immediately popped it in the VCR. I think I made it through the first 5 minutes, MAYBE, before I started screaming at the top of my lungs in fright! When he looks up at the girl with the yellow eyes and the gigantic teeth, that was it for me! I told my Dad to get that tape out of my house IMMEDIATELY! Like any good dad, he pretended to take it back to the video store, later watching it after I had gone to sleep. 25+ years later, I still think about that everytime I see that video. Even though it scared me to death back then, I watch it fondly now. Thanks MJ, for the decades or great music and videos!
June 27th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
There is a small hole in everyone’s heart with the death of Michael Jackson. Looking at all of the videos and listening to all the music it brings me back to great memories from childhood all the way up. I remember in high school we did some of the thriller video for a play. I remember the Jackson Five and listening to their music when I was very young. Michael truly was an icon I think he was the equivalent to Elvis for my generation. He will truly be missed by all generations of music lovers. A performer who no one can even be close to his equivalent. He has inspired many entertainers. He broke the gap of race discrimination. I think when we look back at his life we should remember all the good he has done and forget all of the terrible allegations that were made. I never believed Michael molested anyone. I truly believe he was lost in the age of innocence. He was an incredible performer and I will pray for his family and the world has lost a legend. He was the last true SUPERSTAR. May you rest in peace Michael. The world will miss you.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
i can’t stop crying. michael jackson touch me with his music.my heart amd parys go out to his family.and my favorite video of michael jackson is ghost can u show it. i love you michael.and you will be missed.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
My heart is saddened by Michael’s death…because he did not have the happiness in life he deserved. Perhaps his death will truly accomplish what he tried to accomplish in life…Unity, peace, food for the hungry , etc. via the reflections of all of us in the mirror to know what we truly need to do TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE: before it’s too late. Rest in peace MJ knowing your life mattered and will for undetermined time to come…You were Loved and believed.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
it was June,25 when i found out that Michael Jackson died of a heart attack Michael was a inspiration to me and my brother Sean. My brother burned all his songs on a CD and we would always listen to his music . My brother said “Everyday when he would come home he would always watch the vh1 count down and hope one of Michael’s music videos would come on”.Hopefully someone else will continue his work and become another Micael Jackson even though it isn’t possible
June 27th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
I feel like with out Michael Jackson life isn’t complete
June 27th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
With the king of pop gone pop is not that great
June 27th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Some children looked up to Michael Jackson as there hero
June 27th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
The first Michael Jackson song i heard was Thriller
June 27th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Me and my family were watching TV, and then Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” came on the TV. It was the first music video I had ever seen, and as i remember, i was scared from it. But I never knew it was Michael Jackson, the king of pop. And I didn’t know it was one of the most popular videos. As I was growing up, i more and more liked Michael Jackson and his videos. Now to see him die two days ago, I’m devistated. R.I.P Michael Jackson, you will be loved.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Michael Jackson was the king of pop. we will miss you love amanda creapo<3<3
June 27th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I was a high school student in the eighties, music videos were ruling the air waves,and Michael Jackson ruled the video world. I was foremost into hard rock music, but Michael had a way about him had always captivated me. I was never able to turn the channel when one of his videos came on. I always loved to watch him dance! I can remember always looking forward to the premier of his newest video with great anticipation. I feel like a part of my youth died with Michael. I always stood behind him, and believed in him. It is my sincere belief that Michael was a true genius, never to be truly understood by the rest of the world. He was truly in a class by himself! He accomplished more in fifty years than most of us could ever dream of accomplishing in 50 lifetimes! My heart is very heavy due to this great loss. I highly doubt I will ever witness such a tremendous talent in my lifetime again! How sad! We have surely lost the greatest artist of out time. I pray that he now finds the rest, and peace he so deserves, and earned! I know that Michael is in heaven. God gave him a great talent, and he used that talent to entertain us to the fullest, giving of himself without measure! My heart, and sincerest thoughts, and prayers go out to is beautiful children, and Michael’s family! Peace my friend! Love, Allyn
June 27th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
i first found out he was gone and broke into tears i didn’t think it would happen this fast R.I.P
June 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
When I was 1 was when I first heard Thriller,Billy Jean, and lots of other songs.He was on the top and pushing his self . There is one thing I will always remember about Michael is that he look so good and the things that people said did not get to him. He was a strong American and we can’t live up to that standard and I will never try. I love you and I Will do the honors of always keeping you in my hart.
I love you R.I.P MJ
I will miss you like no other i promise.
June 27th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
i remmember when i was little,and my father would play a song of Michael Jackson’s we would sing and try to do his dance moves. Michael Jackson had set the bar high for people like chris brown, r.kelly, mariah carey, and many more. My favorite songs of Michael Jsckson’s are You rock my world, remmember the time, thriller, I wanna rock with you,I’ll be there, and many more. I would never forget Michael Jackson, and the smile he brought to my face when I see his face, and hear his songs with his amazing voice that he has. I was very hurt when they said that he had passed away. Michael Jackson will always be the king of pop in my eyes. Me personaly I wanted to see Michael Jackson come out with more songs that would also touch his fans and family. Loosing Michael Jackson was like loosing my mother even though i did’nt get to meet him,adn dont know him. Also Michael If You see My mom please tell her hello for me. R.I.P Michael Jackson LOve your biggest fan Chasity.

June 27th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
First I want to thank you for the tribute that you are doing to honor Micheal Jackson this week end. Thank you for just honoring him for the artist that he was. We really don’t want to hear all the other junk that they are talking about and claiming that they are honoring him.
June 27th, 2009 at 1:50 pm

I remember when my mom was working at the midway upstairs at Circus Circus, and me and my sisters were there hanging out and playing vidoe games ,waiting for my mom to get off work.then all of the sudden a huge crowd came out of no where, and we began to wonder what was going on.then this little girl came up to us and said “Do you know who’s over there, right now? it’s Michael Jackson and I got his autograph!” she shouted as she jumped up and down clinging to this piece of paper. so I went over, and worked my way through the crowd and got two autographs from him one for my mom and one for myself. I remember how kind and sweet he was. nothing like the callos monster the tabloids tried to make him out to be! I we will miss him but he will always live on through the musical treasures he left behind that was always a part of our lives soundtrack!

He was one of a kind. A hero to everyone.

June 27th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Unfortunatly my best memory of Michael Jackson did not come at a concert or anything of the sort, but with my father. His about a big of Elvis fan as you will ever meet and I remember having friendly arguments with him on who was better. I used to point out the fact Michael could dance, sing, make peace with the world in various ways and (was) revolutionizing music videos as we know them. His response always was “Elvis has such a stronger fan base” which I also always disagreed with. Then when Lisa Marie and Michael were married, I remember telling my father “look at that the Presley’s could not beat Michael so they joined them”. So just creating a musical bond with my father was my best memory of Michael. When he passed on, I understood he could not live forever but his music can. I am deeply saddened the person is gone and my prayers go out to the entire Jackson family. I also pray we can all remember the positives and not the negatives.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I remember hearing “Thriller” not knowing who sang it thinking it was AMAZING listening to it over and over again. I immediately fell in love with him and he did become part of my life. His death is history in the making and it still hasn’t hit me that he’s gone forever.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
RIP Michael Jackson you were my legends and dreams me and my friends dance to thriller and we put makeup on to look like we were dead. I love you so much Michael Jackson The King Of Pop. RIP!!!!!!XXOOXXOO
June 27th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
New talent everyday. Technology getting better. We will continue to be amazed in the years to come.
But there will never be a greater joy or a unique talent as the King of Pop’s. Thank you for being here to teach us ALL. You will live on in our hears through your music and amazing videos.
R.I.P. both Tupac Shakur and Michael Jackson.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I grew up with Michael Jackson and his brothers. From the late 60’s on I’ve loved and respected MJ and always will. His musical talent as well as his visionary and creative talents will live on throughout the world. He was totally Larger than life. We love you Michael, and we’ll miss you. God Bless you, your children and the entire Jackson family. We Love you all Michele And Family
June 27th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
I grew listening to Michael Jackson. He was a great singer and dancer. I pray he is at peace now. He will be deeply missed. I can’t imagine the music industry without him.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
it feels like a part of my childhood has died when michael died.. everytime michael was on tv my sisters and i, also my parents would gather around the tv just to watch him. My sisters and i practiced whenever we could to nail his dance moves in his music videos. Michael’s Music was a big part of my life, it made me happier then ever. He earned the name King of Pop. may his legacy and memories live on forever…R.I.P Michael Jackson..
June 27th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I love you Michael!! The world will miss you so dearly. I first fell in love with Michael as a child. I danced in contests to Michael’s Beat It…I got second place:) That was in the 4th grade and I never stopped believing in him. I love dancing as a form of emotional maintenance if you will. He taught me that. I had an abusive childhood and it was my only out. Thank you Michael, you raised me right.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Michael was special & holds a place in my heart always.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:48 pm

You know it’s really funny what my brother Jay said about Michael. He thought Michael was the king of pop literally because he was the spokes person for the Pepsi campaign. We love you Michael, and you will always be in our hearts.
June 27th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I never thought this day would come….I am so lost for words! everytime I hear someone say “in the memory of Michael Jackson” I get chills and cry. I feel like I lost my brother….u will always be The King of Pop!
love you Michael

i remeber when i was 4 year’s old i had a huge crush on Michael jackson and i am still a big fan of him but when i was watching the new’s when they have anounced Michael Jackson has died it was a shock to me because he has died so soon and it is very sad to see his fan’s crying about it because we will never forget that he is the greatest and the king of pop i love you Michael Jackson
June 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I feel like a piece of the world is now missing without Michael being in it.
My soul and spirit is broken. We will truly miss you Michael J. You had such an impact on the world! God was ready for you and what a beautiful Angel you will be.
Rest in Peace Michael!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I remember the first time I heard Thriller. I was around 5 or 6 and the video premiered on Mtv. I thought it was the coolest video. I found out years later that MJ and I had something in common. Mj and I share the same birthday, August 29. I will always be sad now, knowing that MJ wont be celebrating on the same day. We were exactly 20 years apart! Rest in peace Mikey, you may be gone, but definitely not forgotten
June 27th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
When I work as security at one of his concerts. I never seen so many women and men just cry and passout for this man. I thought GOD himself was on that stage with Michael Jackson.
June 27th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
I remember my most popular moment about m.j.was when i went 2 a concert in cleveland,ohio and i had a back stage pass.and i used 2 be a m.j.inpersonater.and i had on all white leather.and i came out from back stage.i had my hair done like his and sun glasses on.and the crowd stood up cause they thought that i was him coming out.and then i sat down in my set and the whole crowd was trying 2 see who i was.it was the most exciting moment of my life.i,ve been to 2 of his concerts.and they were they best show,s i have ever been 2.there will never be a better entertainer in this or any other lifetime.I LOVE YOU MICHAEL.4EVER AND ALWAYS.LOVE YOUR BIGGEST FAN.YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME.ROBIN CHATMAN SR

I grew up in the 70’s listening to Michael Jackson, practicing his dance moves, wearing a red jacket, and singing his songs. We got cable just to see MJ’s “Thriller” video on MTV, and of course glued ourselves to the tube to see it over and over again.
I’m angry that I never got to see him in concert. I promised myself I’d see him this time around…
I pray I’ll have a chance to see you in the greatest concert hall of all, Heaven.
God Be with you Michael Jackson, and God bless all your family and all your fans in mourning.
You’re not dead, just sleeping peacefully. We may not have you here physically, but your voice will be with us FOREVER…
June 27th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I was in the 2nd grade in a small New Hampshire town when ‘Thriller’ came out in ‘82. My older sister bought the album and would play it everyday. His music quickly became a part of my everyday life in a region of the country which at the time was not necessarily “connected” to the current trends outside the rural region. Along with my sister, I set about collecting and “wallpapering” the walls and ceiling of my bedroom with photos and posters of Michael from magazines such as “Teen-Beat” or “Rolling Stone”, etc.
I was a lonely kid then. With Michael Jackson, I felt his gentleness and soul come through both in his music and his media presence. I know I am not alone to have experienced such memories and love for Michael Jackson. During a rather “dark” political time, Jackson brought a frenzied joy and bridged generations. I remember my mother (a former professional dancer) completely electric with joy the morning after she saw him unveil the ‘Moonwalk’ for the first time on TV.
Ultimately, having so many pictures and posters of Michael served as my gateway to other celebrity interests such as Andy Warhol, Liz Taylor and Brooke Shields. As Jackson was forever being photographed alongside of the ultimate “In Crowd”. I still don’t know if his death has sunk in for me, as Michael is so “present” in our culture…much like Warhol still is.
After Warhol died, I read an article in ‘Interview’ that questioned who would “replace Andy” in his place at the top of American Pop Culture. Some of the possibilities the article mentioned were: Keith Haring or Pee-Wee Herman(!), amongst others. For me, that man has been Michael Jackson, in all his genius creativity and ability to captivate across the board, regardless of age, gender or nationality. Very few people can ever claim that. The ‘nay-sayers’ out there are simply afraid of that rare ability. Rest in Peace, Michael. Thank you for being in, and enriching, our lives.
June 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
NO MATTER WHAT MICHAEL WAS THEE BEST OF EVERYTHING. I CANT BELIEVE HE IS GONE AND I DON’T WANT 2 BELIEVE IT BUT I HAVE 2, BUT NO MATTER WHAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE FOR HIM IN MY HEART. ALL OF HIS SONGS AND VIDEOS WERE THEE BEST AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT. NO ONE CAN EVER BE MICHAEL, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE THAT CAN REPLACE HIM!!!!! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL WITH ALL MY HEART AND I FEEL BAD 4 YOU AND ALL THEE THINGS YOU WENT THROUGH BUT AT LEAST NOW YOU ARE IN PEACE. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, YOU WERE VERY SPECIAL AND FOR FOREVER MORE YOU WILL STAY SPECIAL!!!! LOVE YOU LOTS MICHAEL YOU ARE NOT ALONE 4 SURE AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FOREVER!!!!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I am so sad about his death! I remember the day before michael died I said to my friend ” It’s all Michael Jackson’s fault for all the problems that gays like me have but, now I regret it and I am Deeply sorry Michael I hope I have been forgiven. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL YOUR MUSIC CHANGED WORLD! WITHOUT YOU NONE OF THE MUSIC I LISTEN TO WOULD EXIST!
June 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
i will miss mike and he will be missed i still cant belive hes gone
June 27th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
michael jackson has always been my best dancer and singer of all time! i will miss michael! Bless him and his family always not forgot
June 27th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
as a child I remember singing to Michael Jackson my dad would say ” who is your favorite singer” i would Michael Jackson R.I.P KING OF POP what you have done for the world is indescribable. you will be missed
June 27th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
I remember when my mother had all of his tapes. I would put Thriller in the stereo and try to sing the song, but I just screamed it and mimicked his dance moves, but I would just bounce around the living room until I fell down. The King of Pop will always be alive to me.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
The special one’s are always taken too early. Perhaps they (being filled w/God given gifts) they’re angels here to make our lives a better place. From Diana, to Marilyn to Farrah and now Michael; these are angels whose time to impact our lives was over but they goe on in paradise with God in Jesus, who was the1st to be taken too young. May his spirit rest in the presence of God. Where no one can hurt him anymore.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I grew up in a Jackson house hold, me and my family listen to all the Jackson’s albums from the Jackson five to Janet. My brother Shawn bought all thier albums until his death. The last cd my brother bought was Janet Jackson cd in 2007. My heart goes out to the Jackson family, specially the brothers, because i know how it feels to lose one
June 27th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
omg . . . when i heard he passed away i was really emotionally hurt because when i was younger he had inspired me to dance i’ve come a very long way i thought his moves were the best he was a very cute guy (: well anyway he kept my confidence going strong every time i was sad i would but his music on and listen and i would get inspired by the words he said . . . everyone who’s happy he passed away is really fcuked up cause there’s a lot of people out there who looked up to michael.joseph.jackson i know i did and i will always remember him no matter what . . . i could say im one of his biggest fans ever
it was a tragedy to me and my family to hear about his death he is trully the king of pop always and forever ilove you michael jackson.!!!!! 
June 27th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Is still a shock to me, I can’t believe he is dead and he’s never coming back. Why know, when he was gonna do a comeback. People mourn his death know, but when he was alive all they did is accuse him of everything he did, but now that he is dead they kiss ^%@%~^&*^%!)^)) Till this day all I know is that he is innocent. I think now that he is in a better place..Peaceful
June 27th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mr jackson has died he was 50 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I grew up with Michael Jackson always in my life. I never technically had a babysitter, my parents would put his “Moonwalker” movie into the laser disc player and I would watch it for hours on end. I am still mourning his passing, and he will always be in my heart.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Death Never Registers With Me..However, It Makes Me Realize That We All Will Have Our Turn & We Should Live Our Lives To The Fullest. MJ Embraced Me With Powerful Music Growing Up. He Inspired Me To Dance & Reach For The Stars! It’s Sad He Had To Leave Us But He’s In A Better Place Now Dancing With The King Of Kings “Our Savior”! Let’s Keep His Legacy Alive! The King Of Pop Will Never Be Forgotten!
Always,

Mike was not a regular person,God took him home ,he did enoup,he suffered enouph,he will not let he take on more than he could bear.Rest in peace you were an angel.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I spent a lot of time in the closet, dancing and singing ABC by J5. I was a serious victim of many forms of abuse as a girl. Michael jolted me with such enegry and I was able to escape if only for the few moments of a song. There we were, Michael Jackson and my self, in the closet, dancing and singing and having fun.
Michael was a great humanitarian, and he has a loving soul. His chactor should have never been charged.The greed of perpetrators for their own self-satisfaction brings out the heart-ache of the world.
Whenever someone condamned his charactor I would say; “a perpetrator is pathological. There is no way Michael would have forced himself on anyone. When a child is suffering at the hands of a perpetrator its all like, “no, please, I don’t like this please stop, please.” At least that is what I did. I begged to be loved like other children.” Then I would ask; ” Do you really think that if Micheal (knowing his true chactor) would have ever forced the suffering of a child when his heart belonged to them?” No, he, pathologically, could not” “Would not.”
I use to think I was weird because I could not connect to anyone. Michael taught me that to be excentric is a beautiful thing.
Micheal is free now. The world will miss him. He was a blessed man and those who have judged him will have to face the music someday and they will finally see that they were the perpetrators of an innicont beautiful man that never held back his love for mankind and the world even in the face of adversity.
I always believed in Michael and I always will. God blessed Michael Jackson, and Michael was humble and greatful.Good night Michael, I’ll see you later. Love, Marjorie
June 27th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I have never been mornfull over a stars death,but michael jackson was a great humanitarian.I know a good person when i see one no matter what the media,court or money hungry accusers say about him,he had the biggest and purest voice and a heart to match.LOVE YOU LIKE FAMILY MICHAEL.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Michael will be very well missed by me and my children because he was their idle. He went through so much in his life from his childhood on up till now, but he is gone to a much better place where there will be no more medias or haters. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL.
Rest in piece.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
It’s such a shock, his death came so suddenly. For all the suffering he endured, and all the suffering he inflicted upon himself, he was still a magnificent channel for love on this earth. At his best, his greatest gift was a vision of positive transformation for us all. In his death he has united the world in a celebration of his life, and has uplifted us all….just as he would have liked. With love and gratitude, rest in peace, Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I am totally in mourning. I grew up with Michael and my heart breaks that he is gone. I have always had a crush on him since I was a little girl and love ALL his music. We have lost a legend and an icon, and life without him will never be the same. Thank you Michael for all the wonderful music you made so you can live on in our hearts.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
It doesn’t matter who you are, race, age, background, if you can dance or not, whenever you hear one of his songs you just have to tap your toes at the least or get up and dance. Only a great artist can do that. And that is what Michael Jackson was-a great artist.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
micheal was bless by god with his singing and danceing how could we ever for get him he was sent to earth to be luv and he didn’t care what people had to said bad things about him that didn’t stop him mike cared about every one) he always tryed his best (even when he’s hurt about somethig he didn’t really show it because his a strong man therefor he will truely be miss r.i.p the king of p0p as we will say u rock micheal see u at the cross road,,,,,,,,,,.~~

June 27th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. My husband and I were in the car when the news came over the radio. I was stunned, and started crying. I have NEVER believed ANY of the things said about him. He was a genius! No one moves like him. He was a talent above all talents!! We will ALL miss him. My heart goes out to his family, as I just passed the three year mark of the death of my youngest sister. You are all in our prayers!
June 27th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
micheal is just a little older than me,from the first time i ever saw him i was in love.i stood by and believed in everthing micheal stood for,through thick & thin. i will always love micheal jackson.R.I.P. dear friend you will be missed,
June 27th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I still can’t believe that Michael is gone, when I woke up this morning I turned on the television and saw his videos I really wanted to cry all over again because it was like he was a part of me and I am 35 years old. My 2 children just love him they can’t get enough of Michael, their addicted to him and so am I because he is number 1 and always will be number 1. Thank you Michael. Your spirit will live on in our household with your music, videos and pictures that’s a promise we will never break. GOD BLESS YOU.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Michael Jackson was one of the first artists to ever inspire me to sing. I remember watching Thriller and immitating every move. He was an influtential person, not only to the music industry, but to the good will of humans across the globe. Michael, you will be greatly missed
June 27th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Michael will be greatly missed. God bless his children and family!!
June 27th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
My heart is broken into a million pieces! Michael was in a class of his own. I will always remember him in a special, positive way. Thank you for the hits and for being a great human being. I will never forget!
June 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
People are being very disrespectful. I have gotten sooo many texts as jokes about Micheal Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. People need to just stop all the BS and let them both rest in peace. How would these people feel if it was their parent, granparent, friend or anyone close to them that people were making fun of. They wouldn’t think it was right then would they? R.I.P. Michael Jackson
R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett
You will both be greatly missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I would first like to thank God for bring Michael Jackson in my life to bring so much joy and happiness with his music and the care that he has shown the world over the years. I can remember at 13 years old watching Motown 25 on this small 13 inch TV with Aluminum Foil on the tips to get a Better Picture and i have always liked MJ but when he did Billy jean and did the moon walk i became a fan. Over the years i have like millions of others let him in my home to preform and make us feel good with his music and to see what new dance move that he would come up with. MJ it was always a thrill to have you over and as i type this looking at VH1 recording everything on my DVR i have tears that you are gone too soon. MJ i hope that you can do in heaven what you could not do on earth find Peace because you have love here I love you RIP MJ Tyrone Frazier A big fan
June 27th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
MAN IT IS REALLY SAD TO SAY THIS BUT OUR KING OF POP IS GONE AND I KNO THAT IT HITS HOME TO HIS FAMILY THE MOST BUT ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I LOVE HIM AND ITS SAD TO SEE HIM GO..
June 27th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
We have lost a man, a king, a rock star, a pop star, an idol, a legend, a showman, a dancer, a humanitarian, and most important the greatest artist to ever live RIP
June 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I will alway’s remember, and love Michael Jackson for the rest of my life. But I am so going to miss Michael Jackson so much, and I have alway’s loved Michael Jackson dance move’s, and his beautyful voice. And the most of all he’s alive in my heart.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:56 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I remember when my older sister and I would wake up real early to watch his music videos new and old. My favorite one was Black or White and Smooth Criminal. We used to get all excited. It weird that he’s really gone. Well he sings for Heaven now. Rest in Peace Michael Jackson. You will and are missed.
June 27th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I am originally from Berlin, Germany and I remember at the age of sixteen for the first time ever in my entire life breaking my parent’s rules by attending a concert; Michael Jackson’s “Bad” concert in Berlin. The experience I had that day was INSANE!!!! Something most people do not know here in America about Michael Jackson is that he was the first superstar to ever build a massive board next to his stage so that our brothers and sisters from East Berlin could watch him as well; beyond the wall that seperated us for so many years. Michael was not only an incredible artist but such a generous and thoughtful human being. I will never forget the feeling I experienced at the age of sixteen, singing to Micheal’s songs the day of the concert not even understanding the meaning or lyrics of most of his songs but it did not matter at all because Michael Jackson broke all cultural barriers! Thank you, Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I remember that for the first airing of Thriller Prime Time television was interrupted and there was no traffice on the streets– all eyes on Mike. There was no Black Entertainment Television and MTV was in it’s early years- Michael Jackson KICKED DOWN doors. R.I.P. Mike. Your race has been run.
June 27th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I am 8 years old my favorite video is Thriller and i LOVE him. Rest in Peace Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
I will always rember listening to his records with my dad and brother when i was younger we played We are the world alot .. I also remember singing in chorus class Heal The world back in elementary school.

my 14 month old will not remember being in a world where Michael Jackson was alive. My 8 and 7 year olds are just now discovering Michael’s unique talent and ability to entertain- the house is again filled with his music. My heart aches for what could have been in store during his next tour. 50 is much too young
June 27th, 2009 at 6:20 pm

June 27th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Losing my one and only idol killed me inside, I feel like a part of my life is missing. I can still remember being so young and so happy to sing and dance along to Michael’s music. He inspired me to start singing and dancing, which I now hope to pursue as a lifetime career. We lost and amazing person that was dear to the entire world. He will be greatly missed and I plan to continue his genius into the future generation to my children. We love you Michael! Rest In Peace!
June 27th, 2009 at 6:54 pm

Throughout my years of growing up, There may have been many singers, actors, & artists surrounding me, until I realized one man has faded from this world yet revolutionized it with his music wonders…Michael Jackson was & still is my one true Idol.
Peace Out MJ <3
I love you, man..
June 27th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Words can’t describe this great loss. My heart goes out to his children and the entire Jackson family. There will never be another entertainer on the face of this planet like Michael Jackson. Michael changed the face of music. Michael did for the music world what Walt Disney did for Disney World. The legacy of his music will never die. The stars in Heaven just got brighter… rest in peace, Michael. You will always be loved…
June 27th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

I am heartbroken….Thriller was my very first album….Michael Jackson’s talent will never be matched. RIP MJ.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Our hearts are broken, but now Michael can peacefully spend eternity in heaven as a child flying in Neverland. We love you forever.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
I’m sixteen, and when I was 13 or 14 I started getting into 80’s music. Michael Jackson was one of the first people that got me started with the 80’s, with Billie Jean. I heard it on the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I am obsessed with the 80’s and 70’s now and that is the only music I ever isten to. I have so much music by Michael now, I can’t believe he’s gone. He’s really gone… it hit me like a brick to the head. He was so talented, no one will ever be like him.There’s so much more I’d like to say, but I just… why did this have to happen… its horrible. I’d give anything to have been able to live in the 70’s and 80’s. God bless you Michael, you’re missed and you’ll never be forgotten. NEVER.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
You put the SWAG in SWAGGER! You are a music legend who personifies the true meaning of genius. We love you M.J you will be missed.

What a gentle and gorgeous human being. Rest well my friend. We have tears falling down our faces, but you are in peace now. You deserve a beautiful afterlife. God bless your soul, and I hope to meet you when it’s my time.

I HAVE CRIED SO MANY TEARS THESE PAST FEW DAYS BECAUSE THIS IS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! TO THE JACKSON FAMILY I SEND MY PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES…PLS BE STRONG DURING THIS GRIEVING PERIOD…THERE’S A FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE SOME HATEFUL THINGS TO SAY ABOUT MICHAEL, BUT TO THEM I SAY ” SHUT THE HELL UP!!” GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE THIS MAN..LET HIM REST IN PEACE AS YOU WOULD WANT YOUR LOVED ONE TO DO!! WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!

I grew up with Micheal in the 80s and 90s. I remember watching him on MTV and VH1 all the time. It brings sorrow to my heart to see that he has passed away. I wish his family all my sympathy and condolences. He was the true King of Pop with killer moves! His “Moon Walk” was a true original, and he will be greatly missed! He will always live on in my heart! R.I.P Forever Micheal Jackson!

R.I.P KING OF POP

My first memory of Michael Jackson was the Saturday morning cartoon, The Jackson 5. I grew up loving him more and more, even bought my dad the symbolic red coat/jean jacket for a gift in the 80’s. I have always stuck up for him when others made negative comments about all of his legal trouble. There was just something completely good and kind and true about him. He was a true genious and I am saddest because we will never again see anything like him. I plan on buying every one of his albums. He is the best and no one will ever top talent and creativity!
June 27th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
i remember listening to the king of pop everyday they will bring up his name i am shocked to hear that the king of pop will never be with us again it is very sad Michael Jackson will never be forgotten 8/29/1958-6/25/2009 R.I.P. Michael WE LOVE U AND U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Jackson is the best pop singer of mankind and he will always be remembered
June 27th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I actually grew up on Michael Jackson music, I Love Michael Jackson so much, that was the first and only fan club I was ever in back in 1983, I went to the hospital when Michael had the accident with pepsi cola commercial but was not able to get in. I always thought that I would get to be Michael Jackson wife one day, I love Michael so much that I did become married to a Michael and named my daughter after a Michael.
It anger me so much that the media put Michael Jackson through so much, Michael Jackson was not only just my hero, but a lot of people hero, I never one time gave up on Michael regardless to all the rumors that were put out there on Michael. I have 4 children age 19, 16, 10, and 7 and they all love Michael and got to become very familiar with his music, My mother and auntie would buy me every album t shirt, buttons and posters of Michael Jackson, they passed away in 2006 and in 2008 and when I got the news, I was devistated and wanted to call them, but they probably already got the call and was welcoming him to heaven, although I never got to meet Michael Jackson personally, I do believe I will get a chance to meet him next life time in heaven, I don’t think Michael was weird, just not understood, Michael You will be missed and my love still go on for you baby, my heart go out to Joe, Katherine, Jackie, ((%*`$#+&_&#(*+ o, Rebie, Jermaine, Latoya, Marlon, Randy, Janet, Michael jr, Paris, and Blanket Jackson.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I grew up with Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5. I can remember standing in the mirror holding my hair brush as my microphone and singing over and over again, “I’ll Be There”. My prayers goes out to his family and really the entire world, because Michael Jackson truly touch the universe.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Michael I’m a huge fan of yours, I’m 7 years and my favorite video of yours is Thriller, I love you I will see you again in a much better place called heaven.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I don’t believe in doing God’s work - there will never be another Michael Jackson but in this case I think we should clone him. Ron D’Von
June 27th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I still find it hard to believe MJ is gone ,he was loved by so many and will forever be
missed.I will continue to keep his family in my prayers,my heart goes out to them.R.I.P.
MICHAEL
June 27th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
My prayers are with Jackson family, he will be greatly missed. You never know when it’s your time too die, so we should strive to live the best life possible!!!! Treating everyone the way we would like too be treated.

I remember back in middle school, we sang “Heal the World” for a choir concert. Wow, what a sad week this has been. I just can’t believe Michael Jackson is gone . It just goes to show you that you should live life to the fullest because you don’t know when you take that last breath. They were showing some of Michael’s videos and it brought back some good memories. Despite all of the controversies that was reported about him, don’t forget the artist. The artist that changed pop culture forever. I am sure as most of you will miss the king of pop. I will miss the entertaining part of Michael Jackson.
Michael: You will be truly miss by everyone that loved and respected you as an artist. I want to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will never forget the memories that you have placed in my mind and in my heart. Michael, may you and your music live on in our hearts. We will love and miss you.

My two cousins and I discovered the Off the Wall album for the first time in one of our basements. This was in the late 80’s or early 90’s and we ranged from ages 8-10 at the time.
I remember summers where we would love getting together in my cousin’s basement, to go through her dad’s albums. Our favorite was the Off the Wall album. We danced and sung Girlfriend and Off the Wall. We had the best time listening to that album. Those are summers that we will never forget.
June 27th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I love the Jackson Five Cartoon and the song I liked that nobody talk about is Maria you Were The Only one. That is the best. I feel like I grew up with Michael Jackson. I will always love and
miss. my heart goes out to the family. I won’t for get the Jackson Five cartoon and him being on
share show. I love his music.

The world will end now!!! Music just died!!! See ya Soon MJ.
June 27th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
i grew up on country music qhen i was 16 i heard a Michael Jackson song i fell in love he was the one that got me to listen to pop we will always remember thanks for who you were
June 27th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Even though I’m young it affect me like I’m an adult. I’ve listen to Michael all my life and now when I first heard that he was gone. All I could say is, “Now all those people who accused you of all your wrong doing is sad because the king of pop is not moon walking with us no more but above with in heaven.”
June 27th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I was blessed to grow up learning to dance by watching MJ for the latest dances.Thank you God for the gift of Micheal Jackson in my lifetime…
June 27th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I only ever wanted to meet one famous person my whole entire life. It was Michael. Sadly that dream will never come to fruition. From childhood, I listened to his lyrics like lullabys, and in my teenage years his music wrote the story of my life, it seems like every memory I have comes back to a lyric. When the HIStory album came out, I had to have it. It was my songs, Childhood, Thriller, You Are Not Alone. And nit to mention all of the cassette tapes I had, Rockin Robin, ABC, Billie Jean, He was my memory maker and all I ever dreamed about was to hug him and say thank you. Thank him for his strength in the very face of adversity, for it was his strength that gave me mine. He made it okay to be myself. And as I told him in SO many fan letters, I believed in his gentle, beautiful soul and always wished him peace and clarity so he could sing forever.
Never knowing forever would be so short a time.
Thank you Michael….Sing with the angels.

I don’t have any special memories, but I enjoyed hearing his songs.
I just want to express my condolances to Michael Jackson’s family and friends, and to anyone who had the pleasure of working with him.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
All I know Micheal will be truly missed all around the world and doubt about that.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
WE ALL MISS MICHAEL.EVERY TIME I HEAR HIS MUSIC I WANT TO GET UP AND SING AND DANCE.GOD BLESS MICHAEL.AND I HOPE TO HEAR ABOUT HIS KIDS FUTURE.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I used to have the Jackson 5 and The Osmonds posters on my wall growing up, they were the first boy bands. I used to listen to their records all the time, and I still love listening to it. Michael on his own brought a joy to me in his music that I just can’t explain. I could be in the worst of moods and put his music on and it would lift me up almost instantly and make me happy. I know I drove my son and his friends crazy when they were coming up because I played his music so much and danced around the house. When I heard of his death I was at work and had to hide my tears, when I left and was in my car it was his CD that I had been listening to on my way to work that day. I know now how Elvis fans felt because it leaves you with such a heavy heart and numb. I will miss him and his music greatly. I only wish he could have seen himself the way I and his many fans did, I think he would have been much happier with himself. I hate that he is gone. I hope that you can send some of these post to his family, although they may be reading for years to come. I hope that Janet continues with her music as she is my next favorite musician and has a lot of Michaels spark.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
i remember whem”Thriller”came out. it was the only thing i would listen to. I don’t care what the tabloids said I don’t believe in any of it.

June 27th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
All I wish right now is all the singers get together and write a song for Michael and all the proceeds go to either his favorite charity (Africa) or pay off his debts so his children can enjoy his legacy. I would be first in line to purchase it. I know Michael would do it for them if he was asked. So I am reaching out to all the artist to please write and release a single in he name of Michael Joseph Jackson
Michael may peace be with you
Love you always Michele E.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I grew up with Michael Jackson. I knew even as a youngster he would go to great heights and beyond. I have only shed tears for two Icons of my generation Princess Diane and Michael. It is a sad day to the world that a person like this has left us to soon. I will continue to sing his songs to my grandchildren and he will live forever in our hearts and mind. R.I.P you are gone but, will never ever be forgotten!!!
June 27th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
A sadness came over me when I heard about the death of Michael Jackson. Michael will never be forgotten, and there will never be another one like him. Ever! May he rest in peace.

1978… I was 7 years old. My mother just purchased a VW Bug, it was canary yellow with a sunroof and a brand new 8 Track player…. She and I went to this record store in Fort Worth Texas named Peaches where she let me buy a few new 8 Tracks… the first one I went to was The Jackson 5 “Maybe Tomorow”… I was so happy and played it all the way home…
June 27th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I loved Michael Jackson since I was three years old. I use to picture myself marrying him. Now, I am 35, and very grown and it seems like I lost the love of my life. I loved everything that he did. I will keep his family in my prayers. I love you always, Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I remember the late 80s in middle school. We did a school program and tributed our ‘giving’ campaign by having a student dress in a white suit and top hat and dance in a mirror to Michael Jackson’s ‘Man in the Mirror’. I was emotional for all of us and we met our fund raising goal.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Michael Jackson was a good singer and he will be missed deeply he made so many people happy by the song he wrote and i was one of them people

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON. I REMEMBER MJ FROM WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL SINGING ABC, TO THRILLER, BEAT IT, TO BUTTERFLIES. HE IMSPIRED TO ME TO WANT TO BE A DANCER WITH HIS MOVES. I LOVED DOING BEAT IT, THRILLER, AND SMOOTH CRIMINAL. I TAKE IT AS LIFE IS TOO SHORT. TO GO FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. CAUSE YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WON’T GET YOUR OPPORTUNITY. EVEN THOUGH HE IS GONE, HIS LEGACY STILL LIVES ON THROUGH ALL NEW ARTISTS OF TODAY. I AM TRULY DOWN ABOUT THIS GREAT LOST. I SEND MY PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
It it amazing how little we hear of Michael Jackson’s philanthropic efforts on behalf of people everywhere. A lot of talk banters about regarding his pecuiiarities. It is common knowledge that many artists go about this route to gain familiarity. Michael was diferent. He was talented, gentle, and kind. You could see it in his eyes. He was not your average celebrity. He should be remembered for all the good he did, the joy he brought to others. They say the good die young and quickly. I pray the world can always remember him for the fine human being he was.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST WEEKEND IN MY LIFE, i HAVE SHED TONS OF TEARS FOR YOU AND I AM VERY SAD THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BE BLESSED LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC. YOU WERE A GREAT PERFORMER AND I AM SURE YOU WERE A WONDERFUL MAN.I KNOW GOD HAS WELCOMED YOU IN HEAVEN WITH OPEN ARMS, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS. MAY YOU NOW REST IN PEACE LISA FROM THE BRONX

Michael Jackson was an angel sent to the world to make it a better place. He did and the world was still hungry for his love; which we expected in the form of his comeback. But, suddenly he had to return to our heavenly father that sent him because He needed him in heaven for a great @!#_#(&^^$((+&# ignment. The love you have given the world is enough to sustain us because your work was that of perfection. May your soul rest in perfect peace in the bossom of God. You will forever be missed and you will remain alive in our hearts. God bless you Michael Jackson. I just wish my dream of getting to meet you oneday came to pass before you left us. May God give your family the grace to handle your absence.
Love You forever!!! M.J.

June 27th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I grew up with Michael Jackson. I am 53 years old and I took my five-year old to see him in concert in Philadelphia at the JFK Stadium. He was a great singer, songwriter, entertainer. I will never forget him and his music. His life was sad, and lonely and I really felt with him all his life. One of my favorites was I’ll Be There and You Are Not Along. I really loved all his music. So did my kids. My condolences to his family and children. Michael, you are not alone! We love you! Rest In Peace..
June 27th, 2009 at 11:21 pm

I have been a fan of Michael Jackson for over 30 years. During some very low periods in my life MJ’s music would always bring a little joy to my heart. Words can not express fully all that he meant to me. Now words can not express the sorrow and the lost I feel. Michael I hope and pray that tonight you have found everlasting peace, and thank you for all the joy you have brought to me and the world. I will miss you.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
My special memories of Micheal is when he came to Philadelphia for the first time . He was with his brothers the Jackson Five. My mother took me, my sister and my aunt see to them get off the airplane at Philadelphia International Airport. Then we went to the UptownTheater to see them preform. Oh it was awesome. I will never forget his afro and him dancing around the stage like James Brown. I feel like lost a part of my family and a part of my past. As I celebrate your life I can look, see, and feel Who’s Loving You. Thank for the wonderful memories of a life time. God bless you and your family. You are gone but you will never be forgotten. Your music will live forever
June 27th, 2009 at 11:36 pm

Michael Jackson was my first crush. I was only 3yrs.old,but i loved him. Still do. I had the infamous jacket,though mine was purple. I wore it everywhere I went. I remember being at the mall with my mom and we were sitting on a bench waiting for my gma to come out of a store and I stood up on the bench and started singing beat it and dancing his dance moves. I was at a New Kids on the block concert when I found out of his death. To be able to share a tribute to him with my favorite pop group was incredible and to sing I’ll be there with them for Michael just brought tears and joy to my heart,cuz I know he was listening and watching. Michael the world loves you and will forever miss u,but NEVER forget you. I love you Michael.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Feels that the heart of Music and Entertainment passed away on June 25, 2009. I feel blessed to have grown up in the 80’s learning my ABC’s and 123’s. Rockin with you MJ, never Stopping Till I Got Enough. Sometimes feeling a little Off the Wall. I would tell everyone around me to Just Beat It, thinking I’m Bad when my mom came to see what’s wrong at times I would just tell her just leave me alone. Looking for the girl that gives me butterflies but I keep meeting these Dirty Diana’s. But I know how to escape because you taught me how to be a Smooth Criminal and anytime that girl Billie Jean makes me want to scream, I just know that I will be glad when She’s Of My Life. Even though you’re gone, whenever your music plays, You’ll Be There. And as we Remember The Times, your legacy will always be remembered. Thanks MJ for making life a little more Thriller. R.I.P, entertainment just got a little less entertaining.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
I remember Halloween 2008 i was in my music class and as a treat we got to watch Thriller from beginning to end. This was my first time watching thriller and i rember being pretty scary for a music video! We all sang along and some started to dance. It was the funniest i ever had in music class. This is also my favorite song that Michael Jackson did as Michael Jackson. Michael will always be the King of Pop. He will be welled miss but his dance moves and songs makes him immortal.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
I remember my sister asking for money on the street to go to all his concerts in Mexico city, after my parents pay for our two tickets for 1 concert… she was crazy for him the best.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
I remember when the “Thriller” video came out. I was at school and I was 16 and everyone was so excited to go home to see the video. I went straight home and it was awesome. When I hear his songs or see his videos I will always remember that day.When I first heard of his death I was in denial. He is a true Icon. I feel like a part of me died because I grew up with his great music and I admired him . He will truly be missed for the great performer he was and all the positive he did in his life.I feel for his children and family.
June 27th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I remember my dad playing his music when i was small…was fasinated how my dad loved his music then i was a fan ….his music always bring memories of childhood …we will remeber u always micheal jackson…

I was born in 1981 and as i grew up ,i remember the billie jean song and fell in love with him everytime i saw a video i would get excited and amazed at his dance moves and his amazing singing.I wished i had the chance to attend his concert but for various reasons never got a chance to.I love dancing to his songs.When i heard the news of his death,i felt like the wind was knocked out of me and teared up,and i had the flashbacks of the first time i saw him on tv doing the billie jean song…..He will always be in my heart,my idol,Love him much.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:04 am
I’m 20 years old and I’m just blessed and grateful to have lived when he was alive producing all these classics. There will never be anyone like Michael Jackson. His name is infamous and will he will be talked about in the history books 100’s of years from now.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:13 am
Dear Mr & Mrs Jackson, my paryes and love go out to u and your family i grow up on your son michael jackson songs he is vary much loved here in my family . And he will be vary much mist. Much love from all of us to you . michael jackson Rest in peace .
June 28th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Michael Jackson had a pround affect on the people I love. My close male family memebers imitated him as children as did my boy friend. It’s a tremendous loss because his time was cut soo short. We were so exccited that he was going back on tour. The real message I want to send is to his family to tell them to keep their heads high. Never be afraid to cry but remember the happy times and jus look out into the world. Michael Jackson will never truly die because he lives on in the hearts of millions of fans. He was a great man and I’m just sad that younger generations werent able to see what I saw.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:22 am
My daughter said “Mommy he [Michael] was suppose to go when I turn 50.” I would had never expected this! Though out all of the “bad” controversy Michael Jackson will always be remembered as my number one entertainer. I feel honored to have grown up listening to Michael Jackson. In my player I have every song/album that was ever put on wax. I play them on his birthday and now I will play them to remember his passing. Rather you are a fan or a foe if you claim to love music you can honestly say he has “Gone Too Soon”.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:25 am
all I want to say is that he showed the children now and then that you can be whatever you want and dont be so in love with the money love your videos and love your fans forever dont let go of your life then and dont let it go now so our memory of you will go on forever
June 28th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Just think how safe all the little kids are now. Its a shame he was a very very talented drug addicted, child molester, traveling freak show. How about the poor people he owed over 400 million dollars too because he was so !&%`_`)&_*##_+$) ed up he couldnt even manage his money.
I will say he was a great entertainer until he went over the edge. May god have mercy on his soul
June 28th, 2009 at 12:32 am
MICHAEL WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL MISS U.MY 5YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU WHEN SHE WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD,I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT THEE LOVE ME AND MY FAMILY HAVE FOR YOU.U WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER .YOU WERE NATURE,WE WISH WELL FOR YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR CHILDREN.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:39 am
the very first time that i seen michael jackson was on his thriller video, i was terrified of that video but it was just so good i had to keep watching. From that moment on i was in love with his music, one of my many favorite songs of michael’s is the one he made for michael jordan called “JAM”. i am only 16 years old and i feel like i never really got the BEST of michael. He has done so much for alot of people, if it wasnt for him there would be no music videos. Michael you WILL FOREVER BE MISSED!
June 28th, 2009 at 12:40 am
My cousin, June, introduced me to MJ. He used to drive me to kindergarten and play I Want To Rock With You and we would drive down the street rockin’ our heads and arms back and forth down the street. Almost thirty years later, I still remember this. It is one of my fondest memories of my cousin and of Michael’s music. Thank you Michael for blessing us with your wonderful gift. You will be missed.

i loved Micheal Jacksons 3D short movie “Captain EO” at Epcot Center at Disney World in the 1980’s. He has been apart of my life forever and will be truely missed.!
June 28th, 2009 at 1:14 am
My comment is bout a icon who i had known for a very long time, and there is no one who could replace this person cuz he was true to everyone and everything that he did, and who he was doing for and their was nothing that u could tell this person cuz it would go in one ear, and out the other ear, and he has inspired alot of people to do the right thing for themselves, and to be the best that they can be, and this person had alot of people who believe in him and hope to see him real soon but now the world is shock that he is gone but they don’t want to believe that he is really gone, and it is real good that they are playing his songs around the world so alot of people can remember this person, and this person that i am talking is bout is the one, and only Mr. Michael Jackson R.I.P. Baby cuz u will be missed by many and always loved by many who knew and some that didn’t know but remember u r free of troubles and alot of haters and procasternators so be blessed and thank u for u’r support.

I had saved my money to get good seats when Michael came to Dodger stadium to perform
but I didn”t get the front row seats I
June 28th, 2009 at 1:18 am
I grew up with Michael Jackson. My brother used to listen him ALL THE TIME. I fell in love. i used to sit in his room listening to billie jean and beat it while starring at one of his poster
of M.Jackson. We used to own History on vhs and i always always used to fast forward thiller! I was dead scared of that video. But what a great video it is!
I Love You, Michael Jackson. Rest In Peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 1:20 am
I grew up listening to Micheal Jackson and I’ll keep growing listening to his music. ‘Till the day I pass. Thank you for everything, Michael Jackson.
You’ll be in my heart forever.

June 28th, 2009 at 1:21 am
I had saved my money to get good seats when Michael came to Dodger stadium to perform
but I didn”t get the front row seats I thought I’d paid for.Why, because all the front row seats
were filled with children in wheel chairs, hospital beds With kids and their nurses and attendants. This I later learned was always carried out with all his concerts. Kisd First. That made that night all the more special to me. A night I’d cherish always
June 28th, 2009 at 1:24 am
i will miss u M.J. i remember when he did the moon walk across stage. and the first time i saw him was when he was in The Jackson 5. and when he did the thriller video too. R.I.P MICHAEL.
June 28th, 2009 at 1:25 am
I will always remember Michael for captain Eo. once they got rid of that at disneyland, it was just not the same. I grew up with him from off the wall and I adore him. RIP MJ
June 28th, 2009 at 1:29 am
I will always remember Michael Jackson from the young talented child to the number one King of Pop. R.I.P. GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Giving God all the Glory and Honor for allowing me the chance to have seen such a giving, and loving person. To this great family, you shall always be in my prayers.

Michael Jackson will always be remembered for his beauitful and extraordinary talent and the love he had for what he did. He will be truely missed!
June 28th, 2009 at 2:18 am
I wished that people who condemmed him, to leave there comments off here. May he rest in peace. He was a great singer and dancer.
Survivor you can stuff it, I did not like your comment. If you do not have nothing nice to say, then be quiet.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:43 am
Michael Jackson was and always be my “elvis”, I still can’t believe he is gone. I will miss him and know that one day i will finally get to meet him. Rest in peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:50 am
When an other country protects one US citizen, one man with an army, it represents the love the world had for him. Thanks 4 the memories.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:09 am
im a young listener of michael jackson but for the 17 years ive been alive he’s made a difference. his songs onspired me before basketball games and encouraged me to try and be a change in the world. he’s opened my eyes to the different performers out in the world. i never really notice how many artists branched off from michael and i know for sure if it wasnt for him our music wouldnt be the way it is today. last but not least in all your music videos, despite the rumors, they all came out great really just awesome.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:10 am
Michael was my first ever favorite pop star and will forever be remembered through his crazy dancing and amazing voice…to you Michael, to you!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:30 am
Being a child of the sixties, Michael’s music was the soundtrack for much of my life. I tried to explain to my kids, Michael is as big as Elvis. Michael Jackson is bigger than any individual Beatle. He was the consummate entertainer.
I have been overwhelmed with a sense of loss and sadness since hearing of his death. I’ve been reading and watching every news and talk show about Michael. It is like I keep waiting to hear someone say…”oh, we are so sorry. There’s been a terrible mistake, Michael is not dead.” I’m sure many people feel the same way.
But, the truth is the King of Pop IS gone. No other entertainer will ever be able to duplicate Michael’s impact on the world.
I really hope that the various media outlets will back off, and let Michael’s genius reign.
His family and especially his children need to know that Michael is LOVED by FAR MORE people than the minority that continued to plague him with distortions and hate.
May his sweet, sweet spirit find peace at last.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:35 am
I could not believe what i heard thursday afternoon, i was not expecting to hear anything like that and i know nobody was, atleast not without any notice. Ive been listening to him since i was litle, from the 80’s, and every1 pays respect to him having to influence their life and career…Micheal did what he did with love and perfection and no1, NO1 at all will every do it as great as he did! Love Niecy

I hope now that he may rest with peace! He deserves it after all the bull that people put him throught, seemed like he had such a gentle heart.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:47 am
At first, I did not believe it…when reality hit, I felt empty. I grew up with Michael Jackson. When I was a teenager some of my favorite songs were “Billy Jean” and “Ben.” He was saddly misunderstood in so many levels, and was used by some many people in so many levels. Yes, he was an enigma, most geniuses are. Michael Jackson was a creative genius that will never happen again, and will never be forgotten. What he gave to use was not only his talents–along with it was his heart and soul. He spoke to us through is music and dance not only about his own personal circumstances,. he used his God given gifts as ambassador for unity and peace. R.I.P. Mr. Michael Jackson,–and thank you for all that have given us.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:53 am
My childhood was no fairytale, but when I put Michael Jackson’s cd on and/ or moonwalker video I was in a whole diiferent world where I felt nothing but goodness and a sense of hope and inspiration! Micheal will always be my hero, for his dedication and strength against all odds, he is truly a Worldwide Legend.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:59 am
Michael grew up in a world surrounded by his father’s desire to make them famous. Joe saw an opportunity to cash in his kids and ran with it and in the process made his kids lose their childhood for his on selfishness. I loved Michael . Micheal had the burden of the whole world on his shoulders and that weight wore him down. Time was just taking a toll on him. I truly believe that he was a good man in his heart and talented but it came with a price. I know he is in heaven with James Brown who is from where I live. God is very entertained now . Rest in peace now Michael. You are free to roam in heaven and kick your leg up. Tell my Daddy and Mother “hey” for me… Peace has finally come for you. One day I will see you.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:18 am
Having a broken fisher price turntable made listening to vinyl’s hard until I was given M.J.’s Thriller. I had to spin the the record with my finger to the exact tempo to play the music, which made me learn tempo and inspired me to Dance & learn music. I became a breakdancer, learned to moon walk, play guitar, and become who I am today. If it wasn’t for Michael, Kevin Ridgeway would be the same. The world will one day remember my name and if it wasn’t for M.J. I wouldn’t want them to.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:19 am
OH MY FUXXING GOSH I still dont wanna believe The King of Pop is gone… I can remember the first feeling I had when i watched The Jackson 5 Movie, I had dream’s for month’s of this little guy name Michael Jackson (although he was waaaayyy much older than me {1958 & 1988} u do the math)!!! I know one thing fasure, he WILL be remeberd and thought of all the days of our lives.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:32 am
I remember watching Say. Say. Say - Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson pass midnight with my mother. We had to wait it was always the last video of the night. You know they didn’t show black folks videos back then…
June 28th, 2009 at 4:42 am
I’m only 21 and I believe he was my first crush at age 4 til who knows when lol……. I can’t say enough how much you will be missed. And I wish I was as fortunate as the individuals that got a chance to do something I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do: Meet Michael Jackson. I remember when the video for IN THE CLOSET and GHOST came out OHHHH MAN! Being able to WITNESS points of his genius w/ the world was def. a privilege. Still can’t stop the tears. Love you Michael… Rest in Peace, sweetie, you will be missed deeply. …
June 28th, 2009 at 5:01 am
i remember the first time i heard thriller i ask my mom wwho it was and she said micheal jackson since then i just fell in love with his music and to hear that he is dead i just cant belive it
June 28th, 2009 at 5:40 am
I remember the first time I saw the Thriller video. I was 4yrs old and I ran out of my friend’s house screaming! Also, I used to listen to the Thriller record in my room memorizing the entire thing. I still have it. I feel like apart of my childhood has a piece missing now. We will all miss you, Michael.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:59 am
Ok, so I’m a heretic and I’ll just say it. MJ was a total PHREAK! Good riddance! The only shame about this is that in death he upstaged a true icon of our time….Farrah Fawcett. She was NATURALLY beautiful and a dear, sweet person. We will truly miss you Farrah; MJ be gone and forgotten.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:03 am
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 4 AND THE FIRST SONG I HEARD BY HIM WAS BEAT IT AND NOW I AM 11 AND I LOVE ALL OF HIS SONGS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME TO MEET HIM R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON AKA THE ” KING OF POP”
June 28th, 2009 at 7:26 am
I remember when I was young in the 1980’s…..and “Thriller” came out in 1982….
And Micheal Jackson came to my home town of Houston , Texas to play at the Houston Summit ( now gone like Michael).
He was staying at the Four Season’s hotel in downtown Houston.
Me and my brother went down to the hotel…we were just high school kids then…
and camped out in the lobby with other fans just to catch a glimpse of “the gloved one”.
Those were the innocent days before “weirdo” celebrity stalkers and a time when muscians liked to interact with their fans and found it humorous for fans to camp out just to see them.
Michael was traveling with entourage and his personal _((`@%~^*+@&)$! enese Chef (all things _((`@%~^*+@&)$! anese were the hot trend of the day….sushi was just 1St being introduced to America as a “trendy” food)
Michael’s personal chef’s job was to make him sushi and keep him on a “Japenese diet” to keep him thin, the local paper( Houston Chronicle) stated.
The local paper made such a big deal about this chef that he became a celebrity in his own right……..Houston is a big restraunt town….maybe that is why.
Anyway, me and my brother camped out in the hotel lobby for three days…..till we were aproached by Michael’s personal chef.
We thought we were going to get into trouble….but the chef laughed and said Michael thought it was quite humorous how we had camped out to see him for three whole days..
The chef said Michael told him to tell us that such devotion to him should be rewarded…..
He said Michael said we could get a better look at him at his concert instead of the hotel lobby….
After all, we did not want to miss the moonwalk did we? he asked.
No way!! we said.
So, he asked us to guess what he was holding in his hand…..we said we do not know…
and he said he had all access backstage passes and tickets to the Michael’s show that night for us.
We about passed out we were so excited!!!
We accepted the tickets and passes and started to leave the hotel….then we turned and told the chef to tell Michael thanks.
Then we saw Michael apear from behind a large fern where he had been hiding and smile at us….giggle and say ” see you kids at the show”.
That was the best day of our lives!!!!
I often think of it as I am now middle aged…getting old.
Some eras and moments you wish you could freeze in time….
Michael was a very kind person who really loved people and kids…..that earlier that day some kids with cancer in wheelchairs were taken up to the hotel ballroom to meet Michael.
He had given one of their families money for one of the cancer kids operation to save their life.
After Michael left town , the paper reported that the kid was cured of their cancer thanks to Michael …..so please eraticate the “molestation ” nonsense from our colective memories…
HE WAS INNOCENT…ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT HE DID THAT WAS GOOD…and not what was tabloid yellow journalism….
He was a man that made us all better people and gave more to charities than any other star in history and unified a generation and the world with “Live Aid”.
RIP Michael …you are our angel.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:59 am
You will be TRULY missed, your music has gotten me through some rough times and for that I am forever thankful, R.I.P. M.J…….Im Starting With The Man In The Mirror. The Jackson Family members are in my prayers.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:03 am
Where do I start and how do I end? Michael was a genius! The words in his songs are heart felt and will always be a part of our world. He will be so missed, God bless him!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Micheal JAckson was an amazing man and dancer. I remeber as a little girl sitting there watching him dance sing and even though you are not there it is as he was talking directly to you, I believe i have seen every video ever made by Micheal. I have never seen my big momma so excited until we watch Micheal perform on the Motown 25 award show the night he did the moonwalk and she almost knocked me out of my sit.Micheal was a true ICON and he will truly be missed, but never forgotten. He will remain in our hearts and soul forever. Micheal we Love you and we will miss you.
R.I.P Micheal we love you
June 28th, 2009 at 8:21 am
i will miss him so much ! i loved all of his music so much !
June 28th, 2009 at 8:41 am
My high school friends and I formed our own MJ fan club. Every Friday we would wear the black flooded pants with glittered white socks and black loafers. We would get together at lunch to share new magazine photos and any news. I am still waiting to wake up from this nightmare. I love you MJ. I will see you again. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Thank you so much for giving us this memorial weekend to get a chance, again, to marvel at the genius of Michael Jacksons artistry!
Hearing of his death has been so hauntingly surreal. You cannot believe that someone so young, so very talented, and someone you can connect to in so many events of your life is gone. In my family, 3 generations are so saddened by his loss. His wonderful music and talent will be truly missed!

My Tribute to Michael Jackson
Heaven Can Wait,
Before the Break of Dawn
Gone Too Soon
It’s A Heartbreak Hotel
It May Be Human Nature
I Never Want to Say Goodbye
The Way You Make Me Feel
I can’t keep it in The Closet
Can You Feel It
Baby Be Mine
Never saw you as a Smooth Criminal
A Star, a legend, a Thriller
You’re Bad!
Working Day and Night
You was a Dancing Machine
Your moonwalk was Off the Wall
Wanna Be Startin’ Something
If I said that You Rock My World,
We Cry, we Scream
Can’t Stop Till You Get Enough
I Wanna Rock With You
I’m no PYT
Nor no Liberian Girl
And my name is not Billie Jean
I am Diann, not Dirty Diana
Black or White,
You gave us all Butterflies
“Debbie,” you cried, “She’s Out of My Life”
Marie, you thought, “The Girl is Mine”
Wanna Be Startin’s Somethin
They were all Off The Wall
If it was I, I’ll Be There
Just Give In To Me
Life nor love would not be Dangerous
And the Media would have to Beat It
Who It Is, none is Invincible
Not even the Stranger in Moscow
You quoted, Music and Me,
Blame It On The Boogie
Born to sing and Jam
Born To Love You
You did help Heal The World
They Don’t Care About Us,
Oh no, Michael, not true
I Can’t Help
To Stop the Love You Save
Desiring to Ease Down The Road
To get over the Bridge of Trouble Water
But now We Got Blue Skies
We Are The World
Must Play A Simple Song
Like The Earth Song
To show our love to you
But Michael, I Want You Back!

I remember that I was with my 6 year old at the Jackson Victory Tour. It was one of the four shows in Philly at JFK, which is not standing anymore. It was her first concert and she was so excited to see Michael. It was a wonderful experience and we will remember it forever. RIP Michael…I hope that you are now at peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Michael was the most fabulous entertainer. He not only talked the talk but he walked that walk. I will miss him and keep him dear in my heart forever ! He taught us all how to truly love one another!
June 28th, 2009 at 9:58 am
We lost a national treasure.
Favorite Michael Jackson moment: I once sent an email complaint to Criag Kilborn, Late night host, regarding condeming comments he made on his show about Michael’s legal problems.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Michael Jackson was a BEAUTIFUL soul of a person that was kind, giving, considerate & caring about so many others. Sadly he was so often MISUNDERSTOOD, & taken advantage of by soooo many CRUEL, & SELFISH individuals on this earth. I am 32 years old, and grew up a huge fan of his. His posters graced my bedroom walls as a teenager.
Michael has went ABOVE & BEYOND when it came to using his TALENTS. The biggest superstar in the world. He was a GLOBAL ICON! His success can NEVER be equaled. His death was sudden & tragic. I feel that the LIGHT that comes with his passing is that his BEAUTIFUL SOUL is finally FREE. He has earned more than just a pair of ANGEL WINGS, he has earned himself a pair of GOLDEN WINGS.
I WILL MISS that he is no longer walking this earth, but now that his soul is free he can soar & fly any place he feels like without pain, or struggle, & suffering.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:09 am

Michael Jackson will always be a love in my heart. Michael was an artist of love, hope, and charity to us all. His music will always be a comfort and a message to me until the end of time. Sleep in peace Michael, you will not be forgotten.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I watched Michael Jackson on Motown 25 at the age of 9 and it changed my life forever! He gave us 40 years of unforgettable music. Music will NEVER be the same without THE KING OF POP! I love you and will miss you.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:03 am
I remember driving around with my kids and their friends singing and swaying to the tunes of “We are the World” and “Thriller.” Michael Jackson has always been my favorite performer and I will feel his loss as if he were part of my family.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:05 am
I felt really sad that Michael Jackson was deid.
But I am ok I was sad like what.
I am very very sad.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Michael is the ultimate performer. He was my first crush 40 years ago when he and his brothers performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, From that moment, we all knew he was going to be a star.
25 years later, my son discovered MJ and together we watched this young man continue to take the world by storm. My son’s room had every poster, article and pic of MJ. Michael was my son’s fist idol.
Michael was also my daughter’s first crush. As a little girl she collected his music, picutres and articles about MJ. In this day and age with all the crazy music out there, she chose MJ
as her idol. This just speaks to the magnatude and appeal of his music. Michael is world wide with no age limit
Michael you are gone to soon. May GOD keep you in his presence. God Bless you and your family.
R.I.P. - Michael Joseph Jackson
June 28th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Some die just to live.
Rest in peace!
June 28th, 2009 at 11:17 am
As a child, my family, siblings, and me listened to his music. We would dance/sing together and shared so many good times/memories while enjoying MJ’s music. I remember when I first got a CD player for Christmas back in the very early 90’s and my first CD was Dangerous. I used to lock my door, put the headphones on, and listen/sing to this CD and to Bad and Thriller as well. MJ inspired me to love music and to sing my heart and soul out. My favorite song by MJ has always been Man in the Mirror, and even at the age of six, I understood the meaning of this song. Thank you Michael for changing and inspiring my life. I never thought of you differently, despite those hurtful allegations. You were always loved my so many fans. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and children at this time. Love always…
June 28th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Michael was a very pretty man and I liked his songs. My favorite song is THILLER.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:24 am
I listened to his music and watched his videos a very long time and they’re were great. I am a true MJ fan and everyone around the world will be forever. He’s the KING OF POP and he will be missed and the man with the best dance will rest in heaven.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:32 am
His music is moving and he really taught me how to dance. I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON. He was my idol i wish he didn’t die. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Michael J. Jackson will always be remember as “AWESOME” it doesn’t matter what negative press or bad things people have to say about him, Michael was AWESOME
and will always be loved by millions. I know his journey in this life is over but he will never be forgotten or replaced. I know that all your pain and suffering is gone, but I am going to much you sooooo much. Thank you Michael, for giving us so much of your life. Your family are in my prayers. I will love you always MJ.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:50 am
My favorite Michael J. song is “I want to Rock with You”, I think it may be his sexiest video. There has never been anyone superstar like Mike and I doubt they will ever be. I’ll definitely miss having him here, may he be in God’s glory. Lorena
June 28th, 2009 at 11:51 am
I remember hearing his music ever since I can remember, as a matter of fact he was my first celeb. crush. Ever since then I admired him for his talent and all that he’s done for people and children around the world. He’s touched many.. I love you and will miss you.. RIP Hun.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:14 pm

Michael’s music has been a great part of my life. I am a few months older than him! I watched the toons and the tunes! He is second to none!

I AM ANGRY THAT PEOPLE WOULD TALK ABOUT A MAN THAT WAS SO WONDERFUL IN THE MUSIC WORDS HE SEND OUT OF HIS HEART TO THE PEOPLE HE FELT LOVED HIM AND APPRICIATED HIM ALL HIS LIFE. BUT I FEEL THAT ALL THAT DIDN’T REALLY KNOW HIM AS A TEEN AND A MAN THAT HE GREW UP TO BE. DON’T KNOW THE POP MAN HE BECAME. HE WAS A WONDER MAN AND A VERY DEEP PEOPLE PERSON AND WAS LOVED TRULY DEEPLY BY ME AS MUCH AS MANY IN THE WORLD. I CRY TODAY FOR A LOST OF A SON IN MY HEART. GOD BLESS THE FAMILY AND MY BEAUTIFUL SON IN MY HEART. I WILL TRULY MISS U MUCH AND WILL NEVER FORGET U AND WHAT U MEANT TO ME AND SO MANY. I LOVE U MICHAEL JACKSON FOR EVER.

One of my earliest memories is of riding my bouncy horse in my room, wearing the Beat It jacket, and singing Thriller. Michael’s music will live on forever in my heart and soul. He helped shaped so many of us, especially in my generation, into the people we are today. Thank you Michael. Love always to you

I remember the first time I saw the video to Thriller. I thought all the choreography was phenominal. I think Michael Jackson was the greatest dancer in the world.

I am a 60’s child and grew up with Michael Jackson’s music. What a musical legend to have lost so young. Michael was definately the King of Pop. His loss will be as significant as Elvis. Rest in peace.

I was born in 1958 and at age 12 I saw the Jackson 5 at Summerfest in Milwaukee , Wisconsin. On my brothers shoulders I saw lightning, lightning starts fires, that fire will never be put out.

A Legend is Gone - But Not Forgotten
I would like to take a minute to express my feeling about losing such a wonderful person, entertainer, singer, dancer, you name it. Although many people thought of him as weird no one can take that away from him. Being an artist I will surely miss him. The Jackson family is in my thoughts and prayers in their time of grief.
But lets not continue to greive. We need to celebrate. Celebrate a life, although it was taken to soon, one that has inspired so many people not just in the US but the entire world. Remember him for his songs like Black & White, Billie Jean, Beat It, I’m Bad and of course Thriller. Also remember small Michael singing with his brothers with their hits ABC, Got to Be There, Ben, (well you get the picture)
Remember “We Are The World” - Lets celebrate and be happy that God gave us his angel to borrow and now he wants him to dance in Heaven.
R I P Michael …. we love you.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Mr. & Mrs. Joe Jacksons , thank you so much, for giving the world the jackson 5. They are all amazing. we were truly blessed to have michael(an angel on earth), he will forever be in our hearts. we love you michael .God bless you & your family.

June 28th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I remember that we didn’t have a lot of money and was unable to purchase any Michael Jackson albums. We had a stereo and I remember hearing Billie Jean on one station and once it went off, I searched other stations and what do you know….another Michael Jackson song was playing….I figured since I couldn’t buy the album, all of the back to back airtime his songs got on the radio made up for that……I’m really going to miss him and my prayers go out to all of the family. I’m still in shock.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Heroes get remembered but legends never die Michael Jackson maybe gone but he will never be forgotten long live the king of pop!

It all started out so easy ABC and became so complicated. Detroit-Motown will forever have a special place in our hearts for you.
May you rest in Peace and your World Message of “Love one another” live on forever in your music and in each of us.

At first I didn’t believe he was gone so I made my mother turn on CNN. I’m 17 but a huge fan of Michael’s. From The Jackson 5 to Michael Jackson himself. It’s a big loss to the music and dancing world. May he Rest In Peace…
June 28th, 2009 at 2:53 pm

June 28th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Im a 26yr old male who has had an enormous love for Michael Jackson all my life. In my childhood I did nothing but blare his music and dance, and dance and dance. I still till this day can pull off alot of his moves! I love him and always will! I cannot believe he is gone, hes not coming back, that kills me! My love goes to his family and friends. You can trust me when I say that I will dance till the day I die! I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Although this is a sad, sad time…it is comforting to think of Michael in a better place where his unusual genius is finally understood, and accepted. Rest in peace Michael, you deserve it. The world is better because he was in it. There will never be a singer/dancer on this planet that can compare with his magic!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Michael, your genius and generous heart is what moves me and a million other fans to tears. I will miss you terribly. You have always been a part of my life, and ever present even at my wedding as we did our first dance to “I just can’t stop loving you”. Rest in Peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I THINK THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON WOULD BE IF THE PEOPLE THAT HE HAS TOUCHED IN HIS LIFE(SUCH AS QUINCY JONES, LIZA, PAUL M, LISA MARIE, USHER,ETC..) DID A REMAKE OF ‘WE ARE THE WORLD’ IN HIS HONOR AND DONATED THE PROFITS TO THE CHILDREN IN HIS NAME!!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
I remember winning a talent competition in Jamaica dancing to the Beat IT routine. I don’t care what anyone says, he was the largest ICON ever in the music industry, without the insults and profanity, “now that says alot” he will be missed.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Michael WILL DEFINITELY be missed. When I got wind of his death on the radio early on, at first I thought it was a bad joke being played. Then when I realized it was not, I was in complete awe. I didn’t want it to be true. As a DJ back in the 80’s, Michael’s songs made my nights. The dance floor would ALWAYS be packed when I spun his records. I don’t DJ anymore, but his tunes will always be with me. Despite his many challenges, and the issues surrounding his life, I remember Michael as the off the wall, thriller, King of Pop who is gone too soon!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Never to be forgotten! Your skill and creativity will be greatly missed by young, old, and those yet to be born for many years to come. Thank you for touching each of us in a unique way and letting us see how we treat others and (in many cases) ourselves.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
i loved micheal and i was shocked when he died and when he got the surgery i feelt a differnt way about micheal but i still loved him
June 28th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I just want to share about Michael. When I was 8 years old my Dad and I met him and it was the best moment of my childhood! Just to get his autograph and shake his hand was so awesome and I wish it could have been more….his music was the soundtrack of my childhood and his legacy effected me in so many ways. He passed away on my Mom’s birthday and passed away at the hospital where my father was born…I think Michael had a lot of pain inside him and he may have done some questionable things in his past but I think he was misunderstood. He just wanted everyone to love eachother and accept eachother for what we all really are. He wanted to be accepted and loved for who he is. No matter “how” his passing happened, it was just his time and he is out of pain and suffering. God was missing an angel until Michael came home. R.I.P. Michael I love you always!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
My mom told me that when I was very little, I would always have my upset moments and I would always cry. Once she turned on the TV and Michael Jackson was on it, I would just stay quiet and watch him. I loved him back then and I still love him now.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I spent alot of my childhood listening to Michael Jackson’s music and learning the dance moves to his videos. I never thought I would see the day he would leave us all without his unmatchable entertainment. A part of my heart has truely died right along with him. I have cried many tears over his death, and I will miss him, but will cherish the music I have loved for so long…..I love you Michael! Rest in Peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
i love michael jackson .and he will be miss by the world..pass away so soon and so young.the music were from his heart.i feel like he were telling the world in his music that all he wanted is to be love.to be the kids he never were……….will miss you michael
June 28th, 2009 at 3:54 pm

June 28th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
MJ, I grew up watching you MoonWalk, you will truly be missed but you are not alone. The world loves you. RIP.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
My most vivid memory of michale Jackson was when thriller was released, it was christmas break of 83 and we played thriller all day long. We were playing hide and go seek in the house and thriller was cranked up full throttle. I got scared from the evil demonic laugh at the end of the song and ran from my hiding spot screamong and was caught by my older brother. That was a good memory, i was probally 10 years old.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Thanks so much VH1! I see u get how much MJ meant to us! I’ve enjoyed watching all these fabulous videos this weekend! He will 4ever be the KING of Entertainment..I’ve have never felt this sad for another celeb! What he gave us can never be duplicated…throughout my 40 years of life…all I ever needed was an MJ song to cheer me up! I lost over 60 pounds walking/jogging to MJ! Words can’t express how much he will be missed! June 13 (when he was found NOT GUILTY) and June 25 will forever be remembered! He’s my FAV!!!!! Michael, I LOVE U NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS MAY SAY!!! I just KNOW u wouldn’t have harmed any creature on this earth. I am so sorry u had to suffer here…Now, my dear u are in TRUE TRUE heavenly PEACE!!!!!

I am remembering a young man who came onto the scene with great personality and great talent. I saw cataperilla that turned into a butterfly and a strong Icon that will never be forgotten. He touched us with his songs and with his heart. I used to always love getting up every Saturday morning watching The Jackson 5 cartoons faithfully and watching him moonwalk his way to stardom. No matter what he was going thru in his life he will always be # 1 in my book and can no one touch that with a ten foot pole.

Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer of all time. His intoxicating music and unstoppable dance moves will go down in history forever as one of the greatest legends ever lived. We are so fortunate to have lived to see him.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
R.I.P Micheal my mom and dad listen to him all the time. i grew up listen to him he will be a legend of pop i will miss him and you prob will to !
R.I.P KING OF POP

The first time i met Michael Jackson me and my sister were in Mass. It was crazy it was the only concert he did in Mass because so many people were there and they sold out of tickets……me and my sister were front row and he told me that i was beautiful…..i will never forget this moment…..his death has hit me so hard. May he rest in peace and the lord bless his family in their time of sorrow
June 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
I was 10 when I started listening to him and now 27 years later with 2 tours under my belt and being one of the lucky 750,000 going to London in July I will truly miss him. I love you Michael you are the greatest. We lost not only an entertainer but a humanitarian. He loved the world and did what he could to give back and make people pay attention. He was only one man though how much could we expect from him. You have become our life our world. God Bless you. Your legend lives on…. Long live the KING!!!!!!!!
God Bless the Jackson Family
June 28th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
The king of pop will be greatly missed, and his memories will live on. Know one could ever replace him and what he has become. God bless you and your family. RIP MJ.

June 28th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
MJ made alot of great songs! I love just about all of them my favorite is “You are not alone” and many more but i will always remember him and his music R.I.P MJ
June 28th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Michael….if it wasn’t for you I would have never learned to dance. Watching your Smooth Criminal video got me into pop-n-locking and dancing when I was only 9 years old. If you can ever see this message know this:
You were the GOD of music……..and God’s don’t die.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
When I Was Lil Girl I Wanted To Marry Micheal When I Get Older I Had His Glove And Had The Doll Of Him My Brother Had The Jacket Of Him Micheal U Will Be GREATLY MISSED It Sad To Hear U Are Gone But In My Eyes You Are Still Here In Everyone R.I.P Micheal Jackson (THE KING OF POP)

Off The Wall was my first record and I was hooked. From that moment on… I’ve been a life long fan. You’ve been in my world for 35 years… and it’s going to take longer than that to mend “our” broken hearts of your passing in such a sudden, tragic way. Rest your soul Michael and know you did it… You are the world’s Greatest Music Icon. I love you!!
June 28th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Off The Wall was my first record and I was captivated!! From that moment on… I’ve been a life long fan. You’ve been in my world for 35 years… and it’s going to take longer than that to mend “our” broken hearts of your passing in such a sudden, tragic way. Rest your soul Michael and know you did it… You are the world’s Greatest Music Icon. I love you!!
June 28th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
MJ…When I heard of your death, I was in a “State if Shock,” and “Speechless”, you were my, “Man in the mirror,” my, “Superstar”, your, “Love is here and now you’re gone,” I will miss your greatness, you would, “Take me back,” to yester-year. You were, “Off the wall”, but a “Modern man”, you lived your life, “On the line”. You will always be, “Another part of me”. When I think of you I, “Smile”, and I, “Never can say goodbye”, “Maybe tomorrow”.

I have to say that I am still in shock and in disbelief that Michael Jackson has passed. I grew up listening to his music. I love his music. Heaven now has an awesome Angel.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
to bad media (radio.tv,web ) they destroy Michael image “it takes a person to die for them to talk good about him .Outside of America everybody loved him
June 28th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Michael…, im speechless,why did you have to leave us now,we should show him when he was here with us how much we loved him.
We all miss you Michael, heaven must be happy to have you now.

i was born in 1985 so by the time i was 3 (1988) i knew who michael jackson was i started listening to his music, and she had gotten me a shirt with him on it and i wore boots and black pants with it and one of my parents took a picture of me wearin the shirt with michael on it and i struck a pose that i did on my own in the picture. ive listened to his music for quite awhile. on thursday (25th) my mom had texted me saying he died right after farrah fawcett did. i was texting her back the news is saying he was in a coma and i saw on the news he died. i just had a HUGE break down and i cried like a lot i couldnt believe he is gone. my mom were in the store the same he died i heard one of his songs i was about to cry again and my mom told me to go in the bathroom she didnt want people to see me like that and i agreed with her. watching his music videos this weekend makes me remember when i had that shirt back in the 80’s. michael you will be missed and know that ill be thinking of you where ever i go. i love you
June 28th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I ws in total shock when I heard about MJ’s passing on the way home. I could not believe what I was hearing. He was a turn musician and a great talent that will be forever missed. MJ’s music was used this past year in my daughters drill team for their routine. The girls really got into the music and we were so excited to have used a great gathering of music from this amazing artist. Micheal you will be truly missed. God Bless you and I pray for your family.

(LISTENING TO MICHEAL MOONWALK THRU HEAVEN THIS DJ.PACO AND IM A DANCER AND HE MADE ME WAT I AM TODAY HE REALLY PLAYED A BIG BIG PART IN MY LIFE IF IT WAS N/E ONE THAT PUSH ME IN DANCING IT WAS HIM…THE KING OF POP THIS IS 1 MAN I WOULD NEVER 4GET IM HERE
June 28th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
i loved the king of pop since i was a little girl from 1965 all the way up until now, and when i heard the news i cried and prayed for his family. i know how much he meant to me; micheal’s misic and his presence will be a G R E A T!!!!!! loss .R.I.P. ~.:micheal:.~
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND MISSED BUT YOU SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE IN EVERYONES HEART, MIND, AND SOUL….
June 28th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I lost my father on 6/11/09. The first concert he allowed my sis and I to attend alone was the Jackson 5 at madison square garden. I have lost my father and my brother Micheal.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
michael jackson was a hero to me. i listen to his songs almost everyday. my little brother tried to do the moonwalk but i told him that no one could do the moonwalk like michael does. knowing that michael died at a young age, made my heart break into pieces. i know all the songs michael sang. my favorite ones are “your not alone, thriller, in the closet”, and many many more. there can never be another michael jackson. he will always and forever be the king of pop. he will be remembered in our hearts. r.i.p michael. i love u!!!!!!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I loved Michael Jackson so much! My friends gave me a little grief but I showed them! By slowing down his music videos and watching him move…it was only a matter of days that I learned how to moonwalk. Being amazed and all, my friends were quick to shut up!
June 28th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
It seems so unfair for god to take back so much joy in one swoop, RIP MJ.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
An amazing artists’ life cut short. I feel that when he called his doctor the night before complaining of chest pains, his doctor being a cardiologist should of immediately seen that Michael got to a hospital to be checked out. What a major mistake and I find this doctor to have made a major mistake. However, Michael is a unique artist with music that has inspired generation after generation. I know I am the generation that was there with the Jackson 5 and I have not been able to stop my tears because I love him and I feel that it was not his time to go yet. His unfinished business with his upcoming shows in London were just another way for him to shine and his refusal to not let his challenging circumstances bring him down. His like a star in the sky that shines always and he will continue to shine and twinkle in the lives of many, many fans throughout the world that feel the same as I do. However, one day our paths will cross for sure when we will join him in heaven. My heart goes out to his family and may god be with them in this time of loss. He may not be on this earth but he is still with us just in a different form. We loved you then Michael, we loved you today Michael, and we will love you for eternity.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Your an Amazing singer. && i miss you dearly its crazy i never met you but it hurts you were more then the KING OF POP! You were the coolest singer i heard of. R.I.p Michael
you will be remember (:
June 28th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
When i heard Micheal Jackson died it’s like another part of me died.
Now Michael Jackson can dance and sing with the angels.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Michael Jackson was an icon…
All over the world his music touched the hearts of billions.
People will miss him, but they will not forget him.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I remember being 12 and watching Thrller for the 1st time! Was amazed by him then and continued to be throughout his life.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I remember one morning in 1989, My brother was dancing to the song “Thriller” in the street in his pajamas with a bow-tie and house-shoes and one of the people across the street would call my parents and tell “your son is out here dancing in the street. My favorite Michael Jackson songs of all time are “Beat It”,”Remember the Time”, “You are not alone”,and “Smooth Criminal”.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
RIP to the greatest Pop Star to ever grace this earth! Your music will live on for many years to come. There will never be another artist like you ever. You are an idol and always will be. You will never be forgotten. We love you!
June 28th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I remember when i was little my sisters and i would always try and do the moon walk but it was so impossible! I’ll truly miss him, my sisters and i cried and people are right instead of being sad for his death we should be happy and celebrate his life, he’s moon walking it in heaven where he belongs a place where he won’t be judged by any one. I never doubted him.
“God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not meant to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered come with me. With tearful eyes we watched you as we saw you pass away. Although we loved you deeply we could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. YOU WILL BE FOREVER MISSED; REST IN PEACE MJ; KING OF POP. you’re in good hands now.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I first saw the Jackson 5 on the Ed Sullivan show, watching 5 kids that looked like me and my age what a thrill. Then I saw the Jackson 5 at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA and I was hooked, I became a fan for life. Michael may have left this earth to soon, but his music and his dance moves will be everlasting. I love you Michael. RIP
June 28th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
NO ONE CAN JUDGE HIM NOW BECAUSE HES IN AN BETTER PLACE!
I WILL SURELY MISS MICHEAL JACKSON. MY HEART GOES OUT THE JACKSONS
BE STRONG AND KEEP YA HEADS UP BE PROUD OF HIS HE WAS GAVE ALSO LIVED

I always thought M.J was fabolus.But now the king of pop is no longer alive.he was very cool.R.I.P M.J
June 28th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Michael was a very talented man, his dancing and singing is always a joy to watch..it makes me wonder how someone can be blessed with such GREAT talents to entertain people….Michael will be missed much….by me and many others
June 28th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I have known M.J for a long time.I was shocked to hear that he died June 25 of 2009.I love to hear his music.It is very cool.And I always thought he was very cute when he was young.I am so sad that he died.I have always wanter his autograph.But I waited too long.Sorry this had to happen to you M.J.RIP THE KING OF POP MAY GOD BE WITH YOU
June 28th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
If I lost one of my winter gloves, it didn’t matter. Just another chance to pretend to be Micheal! His music knows no gender, no race… no age. Micheal Jackson’ music defined my childhood…Feels more like a friend is gone. He will forever be a star. When I need a lift in my day I can listen to one of his songs like “The way you make me feel”.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
When I first heard that Michael Jackson passed away I was shocked I cried because we lost the most talented pop star in the world. I will never forget when the moonwalk dance came out I was in my room practicing for hours. you will always be miss Michael. R.I.P.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
An amazing performer, there will never be another MJ, he is irreplaceable. It feels like I lost a close member to my family, may you rest in peace, my prayers are with your family…….
June 28th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
I am ashamed that I took the pure Genious and presense of Michael Jackson for granted. From the day I was born He influenced me and billions of others He taught us how to not just listen and dance but to feel the music down to our very souls. He like many other genious people MJ, Albert Einstein was labeled strange or mad I believe there is a fine line between the 2 and if you were never allowed to be normal and do the things that “normal” people do how are you expected to learn how. He lived how he grew OVER THE TOP and I can only pray that he can now walk among us hidden and unnoticed maybe like Peter Pan the boy who never grew up. Be at Peace now Michael. I love you
June 28th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
I grew up in the 80’s and remember when his popularity skyrocketed. Roller skating friday nights to all his music, while all the guys were his dancing to tunes. Since hearing the news of his death i find myself crying while watching his videos and it’s 3 days later. He is a true ICON and there will never be another that will come close to accomplishing what he did. Not only the king of pop he was also a true humanitarian also. I love you Michael. you will be forever in my heart.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Michael Joe Jackson,
Heaven could not wait. Maybe tomorrow the pain will stop. One day in my life I will understand why you are gone too soon. Billie Jean stopped dancing today and I had to call my girlfriend. You gave so much of yourself to us all that we were not there for you. Tell God hello and know that we will rock with you forever and you have worked day and night to make so many of us happy.
Goodbye Man in the Mirror may they finally LEAVE YOU ALONE. On this day those who loved you are ALONE and I Remember the Time I felled in love with Michael Joe Jackson. You will always be my PYT who Thrilled us with your gifts. I write this to you saying Dear Michael; you properly will never get this letter I wrote you a 100 times before knowing how I feel I write 100 more.
You are Invincible. You are Bad, You are a Thriller, You have danced us Off the Wall, You are Dangerous and You are the KING OF ENTERTAINMENT.
My heart is sad, the pain is real I will miss you Michael but God needed you to sing to him and he knew you did your job of Rocking our World and that’s the comfort I have knowing you are not with us anymore.
Love your girl,
PYT

Michael Jackson’s grooves are the reason I love to dance. His music videos are such a significant part of my childhood: I’d watch and then try to imitate the dance steps in my room in front of the mirror! His music is infectious. To this day it is a part of my everyday life. My husband and I danced to “Rock With You” at our wedding just 3 months ago! It was perfect. Thank you for these unforgettable memories.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

Michael has changed my life for the better. Three things got me through my life and that is GOD, My mom, and Michael Jackson. I loved him and i will always love him. I loved him so much i learned all of his dance moves and learned all of the songs. I am planning on having his songs playing at my wedding. As long as we rememeber him and love him, he will never be gone. I love you Michael. You have touch many lives. I know you gave me strength when I want to quit. Thank You. We will always love you and you will never be forgotten.

There will never be another person like Michael Jackson, and im glad that have experienced the great songs that he has made. My heart goes out to the Jackson family.

I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 . I love all of them especially Michael , Its amazing the many songs and Videos , That this man has made . I cried that day when I found out he died I felt as though I lost a member of my family. I went outside and looked at my license plate and my license plate is the same 5819 numbers of the year that Michael Jackson was born 1958 How ironic is that. My prayers go out to the family. RIP Michael May GOD bless your soul forever . farewell ,your songs will live forever.

You are showing every single video that Michael has made except for “Remember the Time” Why is that??????????????????
June 28th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
MJ music and genius is immortal. I am saddened that he is no longer with us, it feels like I lost a family member. I was so excited that he was going to tour again but he is now free of all pain and making sweet music in heaven. God Bless you MJ and thanks for your gift to the world, your music, your talent will live on.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
When i was young waching tv i remebered seeing The moonwalk and That was it i was hooked my life was forever changed. If it wasent for michael jacksons passion for music or dance my life would be different as to many others. I thank God michael jackson was put on this earth because he has truely inspired billions of people all over the world with his songs which i know can bring peace in the world. michael jackson will forever be alive to me and always the king of pop
June 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
The Man gave more of himself in his performances than anyone I’ve ever seen. A power like him, comes along in this world, explodes like something supernatural, then they leave too soon. Intense & complicated he was, but as history shows, all real artists are. They expose their raw soul, as he did. What a legacy he leaves.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
r.i.p mj you deserve it you’ll always be the video king and king of pop you’ll be here in are hearts forever media what they say doesn’t mean nothing what you did was out of this world and no one will ever do it as like you did it we love youFOREVER! r.i.p
June 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
he will be loved forever and missed mj your the reason why i started dancing when i started walking when i was seven months long live the king of pop and videos no one will ever do it better than you have done in the last decades what the media says bout you all this time never occured to me never and it will never r.i.p Michael Joseph Jackson WE LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

I think if you grew up up with Michael Jackson, no matter what genre we ended up with, he is in our memories for ever and is missed. It won’t be the same.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
It’s hard m to believe you’re gone, you blessed us for many years with your music, RIP Michael, we love you.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Micheal Jackson was a very caring and loving person we should all want to be like him. His music was the greatest in the world of music. We love the child in Michael it made people feel young. Michael lived his life though children’s eyes. Why people seen bad in his love for children we do not understand. We love Michael and our prayers go out for his children and his family. May M.J. music live forever in our hearts. God Bless you Michael.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
He was the first african - american to be a singer. He made history as a child and growing into the music industry, and it was shocking to hear that he had passed away. May you rest in peace Michael Jackson. God bless his soul.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
THIS IS A TRUE LOSS MY HERAT GOES OUT TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THE MILLIONS OF FANS. IT IS SO HARD TO BELIVE IT IS LIKE LOSING MY MOTHER ALL OVER AGAIN THE PAIN. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE M.J. BARB
June 28th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. Listening to his music is bring back the joyful times in my life. It hurts me to know that the “king of Pop” die broke. All he did was make us happy depict his personal problems, I think as fans we should give back to Michael’s family by buying all the music we can and ask Walt Disney Studios to re-release “Captain E.O” in 3D
and ALL PROCEEDS go to Michael’s estate to cover his debt. Michael gave his heart and soul for us and ultimately he gave his life. So bring back Captain E.O!!!! let us do it for Michael.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
IT MUST BE VAREY HARD FOR HIS FRIENDS AND FAMLEY I FILL VERY SORRY FOR HIM I AM A BIG FAN SO MICHAEL JASEPH JACKSON HAVE FUN IN HAVEN SO ALL OR FAN’S ARE LANTING YOU R.I.P WE YOU SEE YOU IN HAVEN SO GOOD BEY MICHAL GOD PLASS YOU
June 28th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
“Thriller” has got to be the best song and video I have ever heard! All of Mike’s videos are like movie theater box office hits! All of them from ABC, to “Thriller”, to “You are not alone”. Many people have idolized Michael, and he has had a great career scince he was 8 years old. If I could talk to Michael right now, I’d say “You are an all-around awesome person!”
50 was too soon.
Rest In Peace, Michael…
June 28th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
deepest sympathy to michaels family.we love and will truelly miss him and his phenominal
talent,there will never be another to compare.i can index my life by his music ,cant list all that his music has meant to my family,but one of the most fun times was my kids all in the parking lot trying to do the zombie dance from thriller.that year was really something and michaels music was coming from everyones houses,apts,and cars also boom boxes.i feel like we have lost a family member.i dont want to hear unproven accusations,from people who never tried to stop their kids from being around michael until the cash flow stopped.let him rest in peace and knowing that many,many fans know michael was innocent.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
We now live in a world without Michael Jackson. What more needs to be said. Our world will not be the same without him.We’ll miss you Mike. Mike C.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
When I was little every morning my older sister’s alarm would go off at 4am and not even a min. later I would hear thriller. I also remember almost breaking a window when she try to teach me how to do the dance from the thriller video. My heart is tuly broken by this! R.I.P Michael, the world will never be the same!
June 28th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Growing up I can remember my mother and family watching michael jackson videos, dancing and singing til they was tired. When i became old enough i seen how good this young man really was. I always wanted to meet michael. He was one of my favorite singers and dancers. The king of pop will live for ever in my family and throughout the entire nation. THE KING OF POP will never die. His body might be gone but he will live for ever.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
i use to dance to his soundtrack track and dance to his music and the king of pop will be missed and there can be nobody that could replace him god bless michael jackson

When Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 came to Baltimore, Maryland for a concert at The Civic Center in the late 60’s or early 70’s, I took my family to see them. We were standing on the corner waiting to go into the building, and a police officer came up to us and said to my son, Jonathan, ” Don’t you think you should be in the dressing room Mr, Jackson rather than out here in the street” ? He mistook my son for Michael Jackson as they looked very much alike with hair bushes and similar features. We frequently laugh about this. We all loved Michael.

Michael, you are indeed a “legend”. Thank you for the memories and may you rest in peace knowing that your misson on earth was accomplished.

I just wanted to say that Michael Jackson and the Jackson family were all loved by my family. My two youngest daughters (who are both in their thirties now) were especially fund of “Little Michael” and my oldest daughter had a crush on Jackie. I bought the two youngest ones the dolls, the gloves, the books and the jackets (one red and one black).
When my youngest daughter called me on Thursday, June 25, 2009 to tell me what had happened to Michael Jackson I was working in an office where I prepare income taxes and I yelled out, “Michael Jackson is dead!!!” I am sure everyone heard me. I immediately started saying no, no, no and then then came the tears. I went into the break room to try and pull myself together. Just as soon as I was ready to go back onto the floor, my second oldest daughter called and she was just bawling, and I started again. I could not help myself. I calmed down again and then just before I left work my oldest daughter called me to ask if I had heard. I told her I had and that it was too sad. She told me that she told her supervisor at work that she had to leave because the Jacksons were almost like family to us. They let her take off. I was supposed to got to choir practice for my church that night but I was too upset to go. I later found out that not many people in the choir showed up after hearing about Michael.
It just so happens that I wrote a book about a part of my life and in the book I got into trouble because I was writing the words to their first record I WANT YOU BACK, on a piece of paper. The book will be “live” in a week or two. I never mentioned the name of the group in my book, but everyone will know who I was talking about. Nobody but the Jackson 5.
THE ENCHANTMENT OF MICHAEL JACKSON WAS SPREAD LIKE A VIRUS TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW AND LOVED HIM FROM THE TIME HE WAS A LITTLE BOY, AND AS HE GREW AND BECAME EVEN BETTER, MORE PEOPLE GRABBED A HOLD AND THEY NEVER LET GO. THANK GOD FOR THE TIME THAT HE PUT MICHAEL HERE TO SHARE HIS SPECIAL GIFTS WITH US.
TO THE JACKSON FAMILY I WANT TO EXPRESS MY AND MY FAMILY’S DEEPEST SYMPATHY. MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL. KEEP MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON IN YOUR MEMORIES AND YOU WILL SEE HIM IN YOUR DREAMS (AND HIS WONDERFUL VIDEOS). HE WAS THE GREATEST AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:38 am
What i loved about michael jackson is the influence he had on many artist that we listen to today,
MIchael jackson is really the only pop artist that i really listened to.
Soo to the jackson family i know what it feels like to lose a love one.
so my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
LOVE to the family
jackson will be missed by many
June 29th, 2009 at 1:43 am
I first saw Micheal on American Bandstand and have been a fan ever since. We’ll remember your moves,songs and love for people and animals. Show Jesus how to moonwalk. I hope they open Neverland.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:47 am
Tonight i have done my 9th dance recital for ESOTA, and every year, we would do a michael jackson song. When i heard he had passed i thought to myself that now he was gone music is not the same. Black people would not have opportunities on television if it wasn’t for Michael. Rest in peace michael and no one will ever have a better song or dance moves as you. Keep moonwalking in heaven!
June 29th, 2009 at 2:33 am
I was 4 when I saw Thriller for the first time. This was a very important milestone for me because I grew up in a strict religious home but Michael’s gift was too powerful for my father to deny; so he had to let me experience Michael for myself. I admired Michael’s ability of bring music to live and his devotion to helping those less fortunate. To this day, I am still filled with a mixture of anger, sadness, and disbelief about his death. He will truly be missed and always be loved because Michael showed us that “only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile”. The pain of his death will hurt for but awhile but his LEGACY will live on for an eternity. Be at peace Michael with your Heavenly Father and I will keep your family and especially your children in my prayers always……God Bless

I was ten years old when i meet Michale Jackson and his brothers. They were on the Victory Tour in mobile, Alabama. I remember it like it was yesterday.. The opening act was a group name LTD. My oldest brother Fonzo J was a police officer working the show and he talked my mom into letting me go. While me and my brother was back stage the Jacksons Tour Bus was pulling into the arena. I watch them get off the bus with there mom and dad, and that is how i got to meet them. My life changed after meeting them and watching that concert. My prayers are with Michale, and his family. May GOD be with them all.. MAVERICK JACKSON
June 29th, 2009 at 5:18 am
I remember seeing Micheal at the age of 5 … on Tv and I fell hard for him , I listen to all of my Dad’s albums and CDs Of Michael and Love his Music 2 Death … I when I was Eleven , I brought his ” Invincible” album .. I never turned back … hearing about his death - I died inside that whole day and cry so hard ( I had bloodshot eyes for 2 days) and I when listen to his music now , I felt like I had lost a Big Brother and Friend …. He never be replaced in a Million years and he was a Gentle Soul that touched the world so many ways … Part of me is with him and I hope he is at Peace in Heaven and Teaching the Angels to Moonwalk … I Love & Miss You Michael - hoping 2 see you when it’s my time.
June 29th, 2009 at 5:26 am
michael jackson is the best in the music buisness. You guys were saying Lil Wayne is the best there is no way lil wayne is better than MJ. He is the king of pop and will be rememberd by the way he helps and dances and does his music. You will be missed MJ and never be for gotten. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL R.I.P
June 29th, 2009 at 8:01 am

June 29th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Omg! I can’t believe Michael is gone.=( It was just so sudden. But he changed pop music. He made it wild, crazy, and totally AWSOME!!! But he totally changed my first day of kindergarten. My dad and I got up really early and turned the t.v. to vh1 to watch music videos and Thriller came on right time we turned the t.v. on and it was the long version and that is when i feel in LOVE with Michael Jackson. He will be missed dearly. And you know it seems like people who did not care that much for him always wants to look at all the bad things that he supposably done. I mean gosh you have to look at all of the good things that he did. He did do alot of good things. And his songs were so amazingly awsome!=) He is really a loved person. And he will really be missed alot! R.I.P. Michael.
June 29th, 2009 at 9:04 am
OMG he was my best friend in the wide world i listen to his music every day and it is sooooooooo sad that he died I wish he was only 20 years old and I wonder how he had a haert attach he wasn’t even sick. And his songs are great I miss him alot .
June 29th, 2009 at 9:47 am
I knew there would be many conservative types speaking out against the reaction to Michael’s death. Many want to lay a gulit trip on those of us mourning the loss of the most inspirational and influencial performer of our time. Our desire to give respect where its due in NO WAY means that we disrespect our troops or any serious current issues that our country and/or world currently faces. Many of us, even hard core MJ fans, were suspicious over some of MJ’s decisions and lifestyle, but we must remember that he was NEVER CONVICTED!
Regardless of our suspicions, `*^`^_~~&*_%+)% umptions or misunderstandings about Michael Jackson, he gave us a message of peace, love and unity. To not hear or celebrate that message due to past accusations would be akin to burning books or destroying art due to “perceived” innapropriateness.
Michael Jackson was not just a singer….a dancer….a performer, he was an artist. He was not only a slave to his craft but was also ambassador and king to it. I hope we can see past the moonwalk…the glove and the controversies to remember that MJ taught us beat box, back rhythms and superb vocal control. He taught us to become the music when dancing and defined the word “performer” and “super star”. But, above all, MJ’s music teaches us that world peace can only come from within.
To my greatest muse, my real life songbird…the Michaelangelo of my time; I thank you and I promise to hear, repeat and practice your message of peace with all my heart and soul. Music and you, Michael Jackson, will ALWAYS be one!
WE LOVE YOU,
Julie Kowalski
June 29th, 2009 at 10:38 am
his music not only was good but it moved your soul, i remember dancing to “Beat It” and acting out the video with my brothers. we will miss you michael so much. now show them angels how to fly!
June 29th, 2009 at 11:25 am
WE WILL MISS HIM AND THE WHOLE WORLD HAS LOST A A GREAT PERSON AND WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE AND WE NEED TO WIPE OUR TEARD AND KNOW THAT IT WAZ HIS TIME TO GO HOME TO THE LORD GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY AND R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON
June 29th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Micheal Jackson could always be described more than just the three words as incredible, amazing, and iconic. This legend will never be forgotten, and NEVER be duplicated. You will be missed MJ.
June 29th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
My heart and prayers go out to the Jackson Family in their time of grief. I too feel like I have lost a part of my family. He was so talented and way ahead of his time , I loved his style and grace that he had when he performed. It angers me that when someone dies that they only focus on the bad part of the persons life and not the good. Michael taught us to be ourselves and look beyond what society said or thought about a person. I will truly miss you and it is still hard to believe that you are gone, but I know that you are in heaven doing the moon walk with God. Rest in peace Michael I love you and your music and memory will never be forgotten and will continue to live on in my heart.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
i loved michael jackson, every poster, newspaper article that had his picture on it was hanging on my bedroom wall. “thriller” had to be the best work he had ever done. my only regret was that he could not see himself for the handsome man he was, why he ever had to change anything is his own demons to face. i will miss his music and wish nothing but the best for his children and other members of his family.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
THis is exactly how we should remember him with LOVE And memories not CAUSE OF DEATH. STOP CALLING HIM JACKO in the first place people shouldn’t of called him that. Michael made my childhood awesome. My brother said he was IS the best artist of all time. Because we have lost him it’s tragic i myself am grieving as much as the next. We miss him already. I’ve been listening to his music nOn stop watching VH1 tributes. etc. King of pop no longer hurts. no longer has rude people on his case 24-7 he’s home with God. Moonwalking on the clouds looking down from the stars you could see at his last press confrence he missed his fans and told us he loved us. Almost like a farewell. He was the only one that could pull it all off. Sure he had his issues but then again so does everyone
:) Rest finally MIchael. No matter what killed you we love you and won’t ever stop. Please know how much we adore you and miss you still. I won’t ever forget you <3 thanks for the memories man. Rest in peace KING of pop.
your 1 fan <3
June 29th, 2009 at 3:01 pm

June 29th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I want to also say he was very respected as the king of pop! he had the heart and soul of a wonderful singer and dancer… He is one of my favorit pop artist out there. I will sure miss him and i send love to his family. I have all his music from jackson 5 till his last songs… my mother gave me the jackson 5 records. R.I.P Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your number 1 fan
June 29th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
I have always been a huge fan and also had the biggest crush on Michael Jackson…My earliest childhood memories was when my sister and I would put on shows for our family and It would be all Michael Jackson songs…..But the one experience I would NEVER forget was when I met MJ in 2002 in New York City for the signing of the INVINCIBLE CD…My cousin and I slept overnight on the cold hard streets of New York City just to meet him. The line was cut down the next morning….but luckily we made the CUT!!!….(I think I would have started a riot if I didn’t) We were told to come back at a certain time (4:00 to be exact) and we were given a wristband….well we came back and my cousin was in line a few people ahead of me…While standing in line people were singing dancing crying etc…. I’m not an outward emotional person but for some reason I started to have flashbacks of being a young girl with this huge crush on this icon( he was MY Michael Jackson) and started to get a bit misty eyed …..Then I said to myself “WHAT IN THE HELL AM I GONNA SAY TO THIS MAN” and I started to get anxious…I decided to say “Michael you are a beautiful person inside and out.. GOD bless you in everything you do”…..How the procedure went with the signing was as follows: you weren’t allowed to bring a bag of any sort to the table just you and the cd ….actually you had to hand the cd to the security guard which would then in turn hand it to one of the guys at the table where MJ was… the that person would hand it to the lady standing beside MJ …so by the time you walk up to the table MJ is already signing the cd….Well now its my turn…. I handed the cd off to the security guard then I began to approach the table…knees shaking and all.. I kept my composure though…he looked awesome in his blue leather outfit…it felt so surreal as i walked up to him….then I said it .. “Michael you are a beautiful person inside and ..God Bless you in everything that you do” As I said that he looked up at (I’m getting goosebumps even writing this down now) me took my hand HELD IT and told me “YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SKIN EVER I’VE SEEN” and then he went on to say “YOU HAVE SUCH PRETTY LIPS TOO” he then looked to his two sidekicks… one on either side of him at the table and said”doesnt she?” they agreed and the WHOLE time he is saying this he still had my hand in his…..my knees were knocking so hard i thought everyone could hear it or at least see it…..I didn’t know what to say or do….. HELLO THIS IS MICHAEL JACKSON PAYING ME A COMPLIMENT ….so i kept bowing my had and saying thank you …. we finally let our hands go and I began to back away from the table and go up the escalators …everyone was staring at me probably wondering what was going on and what was he saying to me……I WAS SHAKING THE WHOLE TIME UP THE ESCALATORS….. THAT WAS SUCH AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE THAT I WOULD NEVER FORGET…..and what makes what he said SOOOOOOOOOOOO very special to me …besides the fact it was MICHAEL JACKSON….I’M AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN WITH DARKER SKIN and with all the speculations around Michael bleaching his skin and wanting to look “white” …his appreciation for my skin made me feel SO VERY SPECIAL….(Michael Jackson thought I was HOT…lol)…Needless to say I didn’t wash my hand for two days…and I called everyone I knew and screamed the whole experience through the phone so many times I lost my voice…..I will NEVER EVER forget that DAY…..MICHAEL JACKSON WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART…I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U…MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
June 29th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

June 29th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
My love and appreciation of Michael Jackson started as many people as soon as I understood what music was. I was born in 1976, so I have never known life without the music of Michael Jackson. I was growing up during the shear world changing power of Thriller and Bad, both of which I still have the original cassettes. My wife said it is a wonder they still work as much as they were played.
Like many kids, I had the leather jacket, only mine was black with glitter and my brother had the red one. My mom made me a glittered glove, bought me the shoes, and being a cosmetologist; she even gave me a permanent to look like MJ, which incidentally came out like Michael hair style of the 1970s. I remember dressing up as Michael Jackson for my third grade Halloween party at the age of eight. My mom took a picture of me standing in front of an MJ poster with his yellow sweater on which was hanging in my classroom. Later that night, I won the Halloween costume contest.
Throughout my teen and adult years, I have remained a loyal Michael Jackson fan and supporter. There has probably not been a day that has gone by in recent memory that I have not listened to at least one Michael Jackson song. When I do something good or I am having a good time, I try my best to dance like Michael. Even my soon to be ten month old daughter seems to appreciate the music of Michael Jackson. When she is crying and nothing else will calm her down, we either play MJ songs or watch YouTube MJ videos, usually her favorite song “human nature.” She immediately settles down and becomes happy.
The news of Michael Jackson’s death on Thursday June 25, 2009 like the rest of the world, hit me like a knife through my chest. I have seen and heard some say it feels like they have lost a member of the family and that a part of our childhood is gone. I concur whole heartedly with these sentiments. I was so excited and counting down the days to his shows in London. I could not have attended, but it was great to know he was performing again and that there was always that possibility of new and wonderful music. I can’t imagine what life will be like without that possibility.
No other human being has ever had such an impact on the culture of not only America, but the culture of the entire world. Michael’s influence was felt on everything from music, dance, television, movies, and greatest of all, his love and philanthropy. People are now remembering the genius, greatness, impact, and legacy of Michael Jackson. I only pray that the world will continue to remember his greatness and finally “Leave Him Alone.” There will never be another Michael Jackson. Michael Joseph Jackson, I thank you for what you have personally given to me. These words are the least I could do as a fan.
Lastly and most importantly, my deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Jackson family. Long live the memory of the one and only “King of Pop.” May your soul rest in eternal peace.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Michael Joseph Jackson will missed deeply. There is no one like him, he was speical. I will always have great memories of his dancing and music. I remember dancing to his music as a child mimicing his moves, which I still do when I go out on the dance floor (26yrs old).
One of my favorite memory I have is when we sang Thriller in my high school choir. We had a singer dress and sing like MJ. We even bought a red leather jacket and design costumes like the vidoe. When we perfom in our spring concert and it was a surprise for the crowd. When we started to sing and dance, the crowd went nuts. It was an incredible feeling. Michael Jackson inspired us in the music business. He was a kind soul. I will never forget the King of Pop.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
It Started As A Child-But It Began With The Wall!
Body: Being raised in in Chicago just a hop & a skip from Gary, Indiana, I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 & when Michael & his brothers came on everyone was glued to that black & white T.V.
But my love & respect for Michael Jackson began when I was in junior high & I felt the words & lyrics of his music & to be honest, needed them! going through your 1st girlfriend & your body changing & new experiences, it was like every song on the Off The Wall Album spoke to me. After that album I have alway’s been a true fan, no matter what!
I just hope that with our thirsty, disrespectful, non-caring media, that they dont focus on negative history, but rather take the high road with the “GREATEST ENTERTAINER” EVER!
Remember his:
1.Humanitarism
2.Social Impact He Made With His Music
3.Video’s as we know them today
4.Charitable Contributions
5.Cultural-Color-Racial Lines Crossed
And so many, many, more…….
To the Jackson Family, my prayers go out to you & alway’s remember, GOD just called home one of his finest angels!
OneLUV, PEACE-2 Finga’s
June 29th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I just can’t believe he is gone! Its just not right, and he should not b gone. Someone out there knows what really happened! I believe in my heart. Jo Jackson should b ashamed of himself, and my heart goes out to the kids. I grew up with Mikes Music, and it always made you want to get up dance. It was just a common reaction that when Michaels music came on, that you would be tapping a toe, a finger, and just a little shake in your step. It’s unfair that we will not get to enjoy Michaels future talent, but we are sure to hear of never released before music. Michael Jackson is a household name, yes, Like Elvis. King of rock and the King of Pop. Both didn’t make it pass 50. Both loved globaly, both rocked our world, both Kings, both gone. R.I.P Michael!
June 29th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Michael Jackson gave more to this world than he ever thought of taking. Such incredible talent, such a gentle soul.
June 29th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
When hearing about Michael Jackson’s death, I felt as though I just heard about a close family member had died, that’s just how much he meant to me. I grew up with his music love every song he put out, had pictures all over my bedroom walls, door, ceiling. I bought every t shirt that had his face on it, i even bought the red jacket. My 11 year old fell in love with his music 4 years ago. Michael will be missed dearly, but his music will be cherished in my heart forever!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 9:17 am
R.I.P. to one of the most generous and genious entertainers that has ever lived. Thank God for Michael Joseph Jackson. He allowed such a wonderful person to come to us and make us happy. MJ you have fulfilled your destiny may you now rest in peace.
June 30th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
I love michael jackson its sad that he had to go so quickly. Long live the “king of pop”.

You are forever in our hearts. Now you know how truly loved you are. I hope you have found happiness.
From one gentle soul to another - I miss you. Until we meet again…….
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I grew up listening to and watching Michael Jackson, You could hear his heart in every song. I dont even have a favorite because I liked all his songs. Thank God for video so that my grandchildren will have the chance of seeing and hearing Michaels tramendous talent. There is no one that can compare.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
From the Jackson 5 to being a solo artist, Michael Jackson could do it all. If somebody would to ask me which one of MJ song’s is my most favorite, I would have had a hard time picking just one because he was just that good. When he died, i felt completely numb inside and then i realized while watching his videos on tv that the numbness was the part of my childhood that had died when he did. Nobody can ever be that talented for as long as he has been performing, he will continue to live on through his music and he had clearly earned the !%$@*^~~~)$_@`) le of, “King of Pop”. May You Rest in Peace Michael.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
When a Superstar dies people stop and remember, but when an Icon dies the World stops and comes together. We miss you Mike! Rest in Peace!
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I grew up with Michael,he was only a year older than me. I really love to listen to his music and watch his videos. I am going to miss him alot. I will continue to listen to him. He will be in my thoughtsforever. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.God Bless you Michael.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I love micheal. I remember when i was 2 years old and all i wanted to do was the moonwalk. The world has lost one of the greatest icons ever. But this will just make us all want to celebrate the kings life even more. R.I.P. Micheal!
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:45 pm
he was the king of pop and he will always be the king of pop and he is my favorite singer.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm

i really loved micheal jackson and wanted to meet him one day but now that will never happen.
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I’m the very biggest fan of Michael Jackson everyday of my whole entire life, iv’e seen him when he was a little kid and til he grows up like his brothers. I’ve heard all of his songs espceially his family too. I knew all of his and his family albums, his interviews, and his concerts and the families also , and his other superstars as well. I am deeply very, very emotionally sad and couldn’t believe of michael ’s dead because of his cardiac attack, I wish the Michael Jaxkon’s I wish it wolud be very nice to see his brothers performed their live concerts since Dstiny tour, then Triumph, and Victory tour on tv or dvd. Before i close… I just wanna thank God for Michael for being my american idol so i could continue to be like him and his family. i love michael and the rest of the jackson family, thank you so much. Remember… KING OF POP FOREVER!
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
My most fondest memory of Micheal Jackson was watching him do his thing on the Motown 25 celebration. It was really the first time to see him in action and I will never forget The King of Pop.

My name ie Terry, I am extrodinary huge biggest fan of michael jackson and his family too. I heard all of his music, his mother and father, his brothers and sisters, his albums, interviews, movies, and the whole pictures of him and The Jacksons. When I heard the news from my Auntie who calls me on the phone and she told me miahel jackson passed away, so she told me to go look at the cnn news and see what happen to the king of pop, so i turned no the bet 106 and park then terrenc j gave everybody the news about him being pronouced dead and says michael jackson 1958 - 2009 and I was shocked and almost fainted, and couldn’t believe it,
cause I heard that he had a cardiac attack and died in the afternoon after they’ve rushed him to the ULCA medical hospital center. So during the saturday night, I sat down and hear the song that he made is heal the world I use to lead this when I was a young little boy at the age of 8, I was just sitting, thinking about him, and sung along with him until I was touched and I felt really, really sad. Then the keys started to change, til the choir starts joining with Michael and sung “heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race”, and it hits me and I started to cry and my tears ran down my face, cause I thought that was pretty and beautiful and that is why I lost my extrodinary biggest fan in my longtime life. Before I end this speech… I want thank God for letting Michael being my teacher and my hero in my lifetime
I love you Michael, I wish you were here survived from cardiac arrest, and the rest of the whole entire Jackson family, I love you, too. Thank very very much. Remember… KING OF POP FOREVER!

It was a shocker to hear that Michael Jackson died. I was at work and I overheard people in line talking about it. I didnt believe it at first, but when I went home just about all the music channels and news stations were playing his music and reporting about what happened. It was so crazy I still could’nt believe it. I remember being a child growing up to his music trying to immitate his dance moves and sing his songs. Although i’m only a teenager now I still try to sing his songs and immitate his moves. Michael Jackson was very misunderstood. There is a reason for doing everything and although some of the stuff that Michael did we did not fully understand, he did, he knew what he was doing. People should’nt have judged him for what he did and giving him nicknames such as “Wacko Jacko”. I believe that Michael Jackson is a beautiful person and the accomplishments that he made on this earth were outstanding. I love you Michael Jackson and your music. It will forever live on and so will you. You may not have gotten to perform your 50 shows on earth, but i know for sure that you are performing up there in heaven for god. Your an amazing person and I’m glad that you dont have to worry about any of the stress or problems that you may have been going through while you were living. My condolences go out to the Jackson Family and may you Rest In Peace Michael Joe Jackson.

The first time i ever danced - ever - was to Billie Jean. It was 1982 and I was 4. It was me, my cousin, and my grandma! His music appealed to everyone - and changed my life forever.
July 4th, 2009 at 12:18 am
I always knew Michael was beautiful and talented, since i saw THRILLER for the very first time at the age of 10. That was 7 years ago. His music, dance moves, and words made the world go ’round, and we all thrived on his talent and love.
The fact that Michael Jackson is gone has brought the world to their knees. From country to country, person to person, Michael Jackson will be loved, cherished, and adored as he was during his sucessful years.
We love you so very much Michael.Youve changed the world forever and beyond.
Please rest in peace and paradise.

Well, Well, Well, Another day wasted on Michael Jackson’s website! Get over it fools! He will be nothing more than a dead, rotting corpse, in six months! Nothing more than food for earthworms, and other vermin! This man(if that’s what he really was) was a child molester, and a pervert! Money bought his way out of an indictment! Time and a coroner’s inquest, will also prove, that he was a drug addict! He was nothing more than a sick freak! Thankfully gone, and hopefully, forgotten!
July 4th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Micheal was genuine and sophisticated in his own way and he will not be forgotten. No one can or will replace him, and he will forever remain in our hearts as the King of Pop !!!
July 4th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
You say the first person that you ever had a crush on was Michael Jackson.Well,the first person i ever loved was Michael Jackson.i was aout 12 or 13 years old when i really started too like Michael Jackson and by the time i was 15 years old i was in love with him.I kno wit sounds silly but i cant help myself.I’m now 18 years old and now thats he’s gone i miss him even more.His music will live on 4ever and ever.
“People can always have a judgment about anything you do.So it doesn’t bother me.Everything can be starnge to someone (Michael Jackson).”
To Kate Spencer and the rest of the world who thinks that Michael Jackson is weird.Just because he did things that you wouldn’t do or things that you don’t do it doesn’t make it weird,it makes him different and different is not weird
July 5th, 2009 at 1:13 am
i am still in shock that Michael Jackson is gone. he was a part of my life since i was 5.my child hood singing Petals, grammar school singing All i do is think of you, high school with thriller, adult life with Butterflies. i don’t remember a time in my life when he wasn’t there. I will never forget you Michael.
July 5th, 2009 at 1:14 am
I was in shock when I heard that the king of pop Michael Jackson was gone. I was in the car and they were playing alot of his songs and was wondering why until they finally said he was gone from cardiac arrest when I heard it my jaw dropped. I called everyone I knew to tell but of course they knew before me. I can remember when i was a child dancing to his music with my friends in our room and having tons of posters and other things hung in my room. He was my favorite and I always loved everything he did even if he just stood there or danced. He was and always will be the best singer,dancer, and performer of all time. I will miss him very much and I want to give my blessing to his family and friends. We lost a great performer and his music and performances will always be in my heart forever. Rest in Peace Michael King of Pop I love you and will miss you very much.
July 5th, 2009 at 1:36 am
My regards to the family. I wish I could hug his kids. Some people leave too soon. We don’t have control over when we exit out of this world. I hope he’s gone to a better place,because this world seems so complex. Why did people care about his deep secrets such as his intimacy. That was no one’s business. I know that was painfull to him. We will miss you. I love you and thanks for your talents.
July 5th, 2009 at 2:36 am
Hi I am a huge Michael Jackson fan. I grew up listening to him. Some did not understand him, but he was a BEAUTIFUL person, inside as well as out. He never believed he was nice looking so it drove him to change. I just want him to rest and be able to realize what a wonderful person he really was. His music will live forever, I listen to it all the time, the world just seems so different now. Michael was so gifted and he touched the lives of all he met. His music and memory will go on forever!!!
July 5th, 2009 at 2:58 am
I can remember seeing Michael as a little girl with the Jackson 5. I thought I was in heaven. What I cannot stand is the fact that for all the good he has done, some of the public only concentrate on the negative aspects of his life. So much good can be accomplished if we all take a page from his book of life. Michael you will be truly missed and never forgotten. To your family stay strong. This too will pass. May God bless you and yours.
July 5th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
When remember tellin people that Michael Jackson was singing about me in his video, Liberia Girl because I’m from Liberia. Michael will surely be missed by his fans all around the world. I people can just focuse on the good he has done instill of what took his life, things will be all right. All you hear about is his drugs problems why can’t they let his soul rest ? Michael Jackson had a gift from God, and noone could take it from him. He was talented. Enough, is enough people! R.I.P. MJJ!
July 5th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
What i cannot understand is why they still cant leave michael alone with the negatives that is dished out in the media,michael was loved by so much worldwide,he did so much,cared so much,he shared his god given talent on the stage, with deep messages in his songs.I will always remember michael for the kind and gentle person we all got to know.No one can hurt him no more,the way they did.Michael your name , your music and your dancing will live on forever,you were the king.No one can take away the legacy he earned for loving his music and sharing it with the world.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Please disregard the first comment that I made, it was send by mistake . Michael Jackson is surely going to be missed by his fans around the world. People need to focus on the good things he did for Africa, and the children around the world. Michael was a gifted person. I hope that news media can stop talking about him in a horrible way. He will always be remember as the KING OF POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you MJJ, REST IN PEACE. May God be with your children!

Michael Jackson will never be forgotten. We Love you.

July 5th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
When I heard Michael died I could not believe it. He had AMAZING talent that noone ,not even the best entertainer, could master.I LOVED all of his songs.My favorite has to be “All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us”. I am deeply sorry for the Jackson family.This is a BIG loss for all of us.Even though he is gone I still get excited when I hear his music.Michaels apperance has changed alot over the years but his heart and soul has not.Oh Michael you left us too soon.It all felt like a nightmare I would soon recover from but this nightmare has not even ended.May the Lord be with his kids and family.Because I know he is watching over all of us and he is rocking in heaven!!!!!!LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP.He still lives in my heart and he will always be there FOREVER AND EVER!!!!! We love you Michael Jackson and we ALWAYS HAVE!!!!!
July 5th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I would like to say that the world has lost a music icon that cannot be replaced. At first when I heard the news from friends at school I thought it was some a vicious and mean rumor. When I got home I heard the words on the news “Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50″. I could not breathe and was so sad. At first I thought what is wrong with me because I have never met him or had the chance to see him in concert yet was looking forward to his comeback tour, but what I felt was total sadness over his death. It upsets me that people made him guilty of molesting kids, which he was cleared of all charges and made fun of his appearance and called him names like wacho jacko. I am so upset by this because I feel that our society is wrong to judge people based on their looks and that it is only ok for women to love children but it is not excepted when men love kids. Why is it ok for women to be nurturing and to love kids but it’s not socially exceptable for men? Why do we except the macho type guy but we don’t except loving men? Why do we focus so much on looks, but we don’t see someone for who they really are? I wanted to believe that this country accepted people for who they are and when we tell kids to treat people how we want to be treated and not to name call that we would embrace that and follow our own advice. Yet people ridiculed Michael Jackson and accused him of unspeakable things. I am very sad that our country is like this and that it is socially exceptable to not have a love for kids and people. I love kids and people just like Michael Jackson did too. I am very sad that he was unable to begin and complete his comeback tour and leaves behind three kids. I think that we need to take a look at how we view celebrities and ourselves. We need to make a change or else more celebrities and people will die the way Michael did. I feel terrible that his kids, family and friends, and fans are without Michael Jackson. He never seemed weird to me and I understood why he tried to look a certain way. We should be ashamed of ourselves for talking bad about celebrities and making them and ourselves think that we have to look a certain way and that we cannot love kids for how great they are and not wanting to grow up. Who wants to grow up when being a child is so great? I wish I could have met him and seen him in concert. All I want is for him, his family, and friends to be at peace and for the world to take a look at how we treat people and to have values that we can teach kids that we stand by. May he rest in peace even though 50 is way to young to die.

July 6th, 2009 at 12:17 am
When i heard that THE KING OF POP die i was shocked and burst in to tears, i literally cried the whole day beacuse it was to hard to believe. Michael jackson bought a mew meaning to the music , he puts his soul, mine , and talent in the songs that he’s sings. The one song i would never forget is BILLIE JEAN thats song ot stuck in to my mine forever. Where ever Michael Jackson is he will always be remember by his loving fans in hearts. RIP THE KING OF POP you will always be remembered….
July 6th, 2009 at 1:52 am
From the time I was born, my family listened to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson and when I was about 5, Thriller came out and that was the only thing I listened too… I loved michael!! and followed him for years. So when I had children, my oldest son came to me and said mom do you now a song called smooth criminal and another thriller???? I had to break out the old tapes and show my 2 boys the whole thriller dance. They were so amazed, and they love Michael Jackson just like I did.From then on we watched him together. We loved everthing he stood for. We were hit hard by the news and we feel for his family…. R.I.P. Michael Jackson you are the king and will never be forgotten……
July 6th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
My earliest memories are singing and dancing to Michael Jackson’s music. I was so smitten with him I swore that one day I was going to marry him. Michael was a gifted and talented person who touched many people with his music. I feel with his passing I have lost a part of my youth! Although michael may not be here in body his music will live on forever and inspire many generations to come. One day I will watch my children dance and sing to the same michael jackson music I grew up with. My prayers go out to his family and children. Michael you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. We LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!! R.I.P
July 6th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I took songs from MJ albums and created my very own TRIBUTE….
I am “OFF the Wall” while I “SHAKE MY BODY DOWN” (to the GROUND) so “DONT STOP TIL U GET ENOUGH”, cause i wanna “ROCK WIT U” then u can say “SHE’S OUTTA MY LIFE” but I “CAN’T HELP IT”..It’s the falling in LOVE that makes me “WANNA be starting sumthing” and have u saying “THE GIRL IS MINE”, when i’m a “THRILLER”, & let u “BEAT IT” then found out about “BILLIE JEAN” u try to say it was yr “HUMAN NATURE” & that you wanted this “P.Y.T” 2 be “THE LADY IN YR LIFE”…
And yu were “BAD” but it’s “THE WAY U MAKE ME FEEL”, like a “SPEED DEMON” even your “LIBERIAN GIRL” yet you say were “JUST GOOD FRIENDS” then i say yr “ANOTHER PART OF ME” while you talk to the “MAN IN THE MIRROR” yet “I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU” even after “DIRTY DIANA” cause you’re a “SMOOTH CRIMINAL” who won’t “LEAVE ME ALONE” when we were “IN THE CLOSET” you told friends “SHE DRIVES ME WILD” and “REMEMBER THE TIME” you said “CAN’T LET HER GET AWAY” …..you said that we will “HEAL THE WORLD” no matter if it’s “BLACK OR WHITE” the knock on the door came you said “WHO IS IT” and “GIVE IN TO ME” i rasked “WILL YOU BE THERE” you said “KEEP THE FAITH” and I did….NOW you’re “GONE TO SOON” & i’m “DANGEROUS” makes me wanna “SCREAM” cause “THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US” you were a “STRANGER IN MOSCOW” and “THIS TIME AROUND” you sang “EARTH SONG” to make us “COME TOGETHER” and realize that “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” taking us back to “CHILDHOOD” while all along being “TABLOID JUNKIES” and 2 “BAD” it was “HIStory” about “LITTLE SUSIE” that made us “SMILE” and then we saw “BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR” from the “MORPHINE” given by your “SUPERFLY SISTER” making all see “GHOSTS” asking “IS IT SCARY? you were UNBREAKABLE even a HEARTBREAKER thought you were even INVINCIBLE” at times but it’s the “BREAK OF DAWN” and “HEAVEN CAN WAIT” til you “ROCK MY WORLD” giving me “BUTTERFLIES” that leaves me “SPEECHLESS” like being shocked by “2000 WATTS” just to see that “YOU ARE MY LIFE” i begged please “DON’T WALK AWAY” you asked for “PRIVACY” you even “CRY” for “THE LOST CHILDREN” and “WHATEVER HAPPENS” you felt “THREATENED” …
So go on “EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD” because “YOU CAN’T WIN” against the “SUNSET DRIVER” who is “SCARED OF THE MOON”…”WE ARE THE WORLD” and “WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE WORLD” life was a “CHEATER” doing it’s “MONKEY BUSINESS” and said “SOMEONE PUT YOUR HAND OUT”, “ON THE LINE” so that you “WON’T FALL AGAIN”, “IN THE BACK” with the “BEAUTIFUL GIRL” telling her “THE WAY YOU LOVE” her because “WE’VE HAD ENOUGH” i pray you got “ONE MORE CHANCE”……R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson 29/08/1958-25/06/2009 ???~???

I was sitting in class..my brother sent me a text just plainly saying, “Michael Jackson just died…no joke” I couldn’t wait to get out of class and get on my cell or get home to the T.V. I called my cousin and she said the same thing..he died.
I was about 3 or 4 and my dad put on a record and handed me the album cover..It had this thin, sleek, handsome young man adorned in a white suit with a majestic little tiger nestled in the crook of his lap. Thriller. Then I heard it…the music…I was mezmerized by the sound of his distinct voice and the beats that led it along. This is when he became mine, just like he has become so many’s. Although I never met him or went to a concert I feel that he was a part of my life. His songs have comforted, inspired, and soothed my soul. They remind me of happier times in my life..times with my father dancing in the living room, trying my hardest to hit the mark as he would, almost breaking my neck to do it. Who knew you could care for someone you never even met. May you rest in peace, Michael. You will be remembered in so many hearts forever. ~

When Michael passed away it was to the forums that I turned to, to try to find answers….. and friends. However, I was so saddened to find so many others like my self struggling with their grief, bourne out of the sheer frustration and anger over the way he passed away and the length of time it is taking to get any answers. I wanted to do something……but what - a ‘call to arms’ went largely ignored. It was after a long evening with an old friend, to whom I poured my heart out , and who subsequently suggested that the best way to cope with grief is to put your feelings on paper. I thought about this and thought - “well if it can work for me, perhaps it will help some of you guys”. I also thought that there are books ON MICHAEL, but none about us, his fans, the people who have been there with him through thick and thin, happy times….and sad
Here’s the idea. I would love to do a book - Working @*&@+%#&##$*%*~ le as above ‘Michael - by his fans, for his fans’. It will simply consist of YOUR STORIES!! This will take the format of
First paragraph Your name and the country you are from, what you do for a living, your age (not obligatory) and how long you have been a fan for MJ.
Second paragraph What Michael means to you. Have you ever met him / seen him? If so when & how? Do you have any amusing stories to tell in regards to Michael (these can be things that happened at concerts or going to ‘meet and greets’ or any other sort of ‘Michaeling’ you have been doing! Where were you when you heard of his demise? How has his death impacted on you / your family? How have you coped, have you got any tips you can give to any other fans to help cope with the grieving process? If you have done any poems, please include them
Third paragraph Do you have a message you wish to convey to his children and his family?
I would also be grateful if you could send me any pictures you have of anything that you have or have done that Involves Michael. These could even take the form of drawings you have done.
The idea is that all the stories you guys send me into will be organized into a book (possibly ‘coffee table’ sized) and divided up into chapters according to countries / continents. Each fan whose story is included will have their own page and ‘photoalbum’. However, obviously I wont be able to fit everybody’s story in, so for those not included I have got the services of a graphic artist who will take their photo’s and turn them into a mosaic picture of Michael (which will grace the back cover). These fans will then be given the opportunity to purchase a copy of the picture, along with the precise position of their pictures within it. The proceeds of the sales of the book will be going to the Neverland Hope Charity, along with the sales of the Photo-Mosaic. For those who havent heard of the Neverland Hope Fund, please go to http://www.neverlandhopefund.com, for more details. I can not impress that this is a book about you, so I am desperately relying on your stories & photo’s guys - please, please send them in.
At the time or writing I have also been in contact with Deborah Campsie Kunesh (the lady behind http://www.reflectionsonthedance.com) and she has given me the big thumbs up for the project along with helping me to set up a website (details of which I will post when completed). I have also got the help of one of Michaels closest friends - Mark Lester! He is godfather to all of Michael’s children and has also taken a bit of a beating from the Press recently due to his *`$#~#&+_!)^~!_ ertion that he could be Paris’s father!! However, in spite of all of this, he is an all round ‘good guy’ and does have Michael’s best interests at heart, that is why he is helping me with this book
I will say one other thing - please, please dont rush it. This has to be from the heart!! The whole idea is to show the world what type of person a ‘Michael Jackson Fan’ is. I also know that it will be painful and for that I apologise but hopefully (in a year or so’s time) it will be worth it when you can read your story along with others in print!!
Please email your stories/photo’s to: deborahlongshaw73@msn.com
Once again thank you - I would like to think Michael would approve!!
