MICHAEL YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN EVERYONES LIFE,YOUR MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGACY…ALWAYS AND FOR EVER THE KING OF POP!!!! WE LOVE YOU
Dear Michael,
When I was a little girl, I remember your music video for the song Black or White came out…and I remember dancing around the living room in front of my television. Thank you for your wonderful memories with my family and me dancing around our house. You will be dearly missed. We love you!
Sincerely,
Josephine Gnanaolivu
For most people, Michael’s known for his kindness, generousity, and especially his legacy & music. I agree for most people that he had 2 personalities: on the stage he was untouchable; off the stage he has quiet and soft-spoken. Also he was a humaritanian, always giving back to the community, always showing that we can love each other. My favs are Beat It, Thriller, Dirty Diana, Rock With You, Remember The Time, The Way You Make Me Feel, & You Rock My World. Also I want a shout-out to all of his family, his children & friends, and his close ones over the years. Michael, you’re not forgotten R.I.P. your in heaven right now.
Michael Jackson is a blessing to the whole world. Its a blessing that when he passed, the whole world came together as a family and thank him for what he has done to change the world. Michael is a true legend and I know that no one like him can do what he did to make us come together as a big global family and thank him for what he did we love you michael and you will always stay in our hearts may god take good care of you.
Michael has brougnt so much happiness and joy into my life for as long as I’ve been alive. He is a miracle and may God continue to bless him in heaven as well as bless his family.
When I first watched the news of Michael being rushed to the ER I was praying that he would be ok. But when I heard that he had passed I was shocked. But today reality set in he is really gone and so is a part of my childhood. Michael was like family to me because how I grew up with all his music but now today I feel that loss! I love you Michael and I will miss you!
Michael Jackson was and is one of the greatest artist in time… He surpassed all of societies torment and continued to succeed… he will live in our hearts forever and so will his music… I am 22 and he is one of the only persons who kept music real… May peace be with him and his family…
i Can remember as a young kid in The Bronx in New York City, the first time I heard Michael and the Jackson 5, I was blown away at the mature spirit Michael Had as a singer i never heard anything like that, at that point I wanted to be in the music business…..I would imitate him singing songs like ” I want you Back “,”Stop the Love”, and his other hits …my favorite to sing was ” I wanna be where you are”…when I heard of Michael’s passing from this physical life to GODs Spritual eternal life, I sang that song over and over again , at work in my house in my car…..today I am a World Known D.J, and at every event that I am playing or Mixing, Michael Jackson Tracks will be part of my Program for ever and ever…. M.J. I will NEVER mix at a party without playing your songs….Long Live The King of Pop …Michael Jackson will always be in my mix……I know GOD has you in his arms……Finally those evil ones will” Leave you Alone” ……….
Mamase, Mamasay, Mamacusa!!!!…..Love you forever,
D.J Tony T. Laporte and Puertp Rico !!!
Michael Jackson was an icon his own person he could make music like nobody could. I’m only 9 yrs. old when I was little I would get up and dance to his music were ever I was . I’m goining to be a actor he inspiried me now I just feel like a gap in my heart is missing he reached out to everybody even the people he was a inspiration to everybody he wil be missed and love fron the bottom of our hearts.
I remember running home from school, flipping on MTV (when they used to play music) and crossing my fingers that I would get to see Thriller! MJ you gave us more than we deserve and I will miss you but NEVER forget you!!!
when I was younger I would watch you on the music awards performing on tv,and I would turn up the music loud in my grandpas store and just dance and dance to your music. stil tilll this day. you will always be loved. the greatest king ever! love you #1 fan.
Michael is definitely the Man in The Mirror
Michael was without contest the greatest person to ever walk the earth, he touched so many lives through his music, love, and contributions. Say what you want about Michael, but no one else can say that they will be remembered the world over like the Great Michael Jackson… you will truely be missed.
Michael Jackson was an amazing artist with both his singing and his dancing. His physical presense will be greatly missed here in this world but his legacy and his music will continue on. You will never be forgotten Michael. Rest in peace with our Lord and Savior. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Fly High Michael you are finally FREE !!!!
MiCHAEL JACKSON’S KiDS SHOULD GO TO JANET. IN THE MEMORIAL THEY WERE BASiCALLY GLUED TO HER. THEY MUST FEEL COMFORT FROM HER.
I remember so well buying the Thriller album. I still have it. There will never be another like Michael Jackson. He was truly “one of a kind”.
Michael, I first saw you in 1971, when I was five and you have been with me through the years. I just wanted to say that you were a blessing to have in my life time and that the people that did not take the time to know you, will never know what message you tried to bring to us. I hope that the rest of us, will carry your message on. I will miss you and love you always. God bless you and your very beautiful children. Mary
My heart is truly breaking. I extend my profound sympathy to M/M Joseph and. Katherine Jackson, Reba, LaToya, Jermaine, Marlon, Jackie, Randy, and Janet, Paris, Prince and Blanket, nieces and nephews in the lost of their son, brother, father and uncle — the late GREAT MICHAEL JACKSON. The last time my heart broke to this extent was when the world found out about the passing of Princess Diana; the difference between the two is I grew up loving MJ. Gone but NEVER forgotten!
I grew with Michael, always loved him and what he represented, and celebrate the example he has left ALL of us! Michael: Your spirit in heaven is no doubt continuing to shine/ We will all be together again one day in our Father’s kingdom. You have earned your reward and I think the Lord has smiled on you!
06/25/09 -This is the biggest loss for music and fans world wide since Elvis and even bigger… Michael Jackson wasn’t only a pop music icon and idol but, also a visionary and pioneer in his style as he wasn’t afraid to be a free music spirit by joining and mixing different musical elements and genres, always showcasing, for our privilege, the DNA of true inspiration and originality… To be sweet, passionate, graceful and powerful at the same time like him, like no one has ever been, nor will ever be able to be and emulate such heavenly and undisputed natural talent. He will be sorely missed and honored in our memories, and now at last, his spirit will soar high and free of the mundane cruelty of this modern world where everything is disposable and fleeting and, in the heavens above his voice will echoe throughout the universe and his musical legacy will live on for generations to come… Or, until the music dies. Hail to the TRUE KING OF POP! Rest in peace your majesty. M.J. J. F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!
May Michael rest in peace, his fans will always love him. and we will all pray for his
children, Paris, Prince I and Prince II. They have the love of the Jackson family and friends.
Michael Jackson,
From a shining star to rising star,
From a pop star to mega star,
Shine on,
Always and forever,
Stay Gold.
I just wanted to say thank you Michael for all the wonderful moments your music has been a part of my life…You are truly a wonderful and amazing entertainer. Your heart and compassion could not be contained. My heart goes out to your children and family. You will sorely missed but forever in our hearts! There will never be another…Thank you for your wonderful music. I love you Michael!!!
We love you MJ your music will live on. You are an inspiration to all the young & the old people. Y’all can say all the B.S. talk about him, but he is special; he his the King of Pop. It’s shocking & sad that he had to pass away like this. I cried for a moment when I saw it on TV that Thursday noon on June 25th. I thought he was going to be ok when paramedics were trying to revive him. Everybody was nervous, I was nervous. I mean we all will die one day, but damn that was unexpected and for most people they would agree to what I’m trying to say. Michael : the BEST entertainer that lived!!!!
We will all miss a true legend, but we must also remember that our Lord and Savior does not take anyone who has not reached perfection in His eyes. Michael Jackson has truly perfected what the Lord has put him on this earth for and welcomed him to His kingdom in the most peaceful way . Michael has fullfilled his purpose in life and his perfection will reign for all time. We can only wish and pray that we too may achieve such perfection . My condolensces to the entire Jackson family. Michael we; I will miss you very much but I find solace in knowing that you are in a better place. God Bless You Michael.
My heart aches for MJ’s children. They not only lost the best father ever, they lost their best friend. Most people could only dream of having a father as patient, loving and fun as Michael. I believe he is in a better place and he will continue to love us all. Hope everyone gets his message and lets start healing this world.
Michael’s work here is done and The Father has called him home. It is up to the rest of us to continue to spread the word of love and the message of peace. Rest easy Brother Michael.
I remember has a child growing up in Jamaica, when I first saw the Thriller video…
I was blown away, never had I seen anything like it. Michael Jackson was a LEGEND of our time. Love u Michael Jackson the one and only true King of Pop ….gone to soon
I just wanted to comment on the BEAUTIFUL service for michael it was so nice to hear such great and wonderful comments on a man who is so great god bless his family through this hard time
Michael is a legend in pop music and in dancing, he will forever live on in our hearts, he was a true artist not only in singing and dancing but writing his own music as well. The King of Pop will never be forgotten. God Bless you Michael for everything you have done to help heal the world.
I am a 44 yrs old now but when I was 5yrs old I remember it like it was yesterday!! begging my parents for the latest Jackson 5 album..I am still so bummed out about Michael no longer being with us anymore(just like all of you)..From the age of 5 till now I have so many great memories of enjoying his music with freinds and family..Like so many of us!! if you grew up with him from the 70s thru now. Its a littel harder to swallow that hes gone!! I didnt relize how much he really cared about so many people from around the WORLD and truly tried to help so many in his own way..I am still at a loss for words still..It really sucks.. He should not be gone!!! Anyway his music will live on forever! and thats a great thing!
Rest in peace Buddy! I will miss you a bunch! Tony Butrico
I LOVED Michael Jackson since I was 5 years old. I remember when I saw him do the moonwalk on the Motown 25th. We have lost the greatest entertainer of all time and I will miss him dearly. Although his time on earth was short, he will always live eternally in our hearts.
I love you Michael.
We have lost one of the greatest, if not the greatest artist of all times. I am only 18, but an absolute fan of his. His music is great and can expand through many generations. Not only does the music make you feel like you just want to get up and dance, but it hypnotizes you! I love his music and I thank him 4 being so versatile, that people in my age group can also enjoy him! My parents r deeply saddened that he has passed away because they both danced to Michael Jackson and they said they grew up with him, his death is impacting and he will always be remembered. I will miss u Michael! U WERE GREAT!
Clearly, He is the best entertainer. He will be missed.
I remember in 3rd grade when boom boxes came out. Days of playing on the playground were over, my friends and I spent all of our time around the boom box listening to nothing but Michael Jackson. We were mesmorized!!
MJ is to short heres to michael jackson. Rest in peace!!! I love his song black or white.
I’m 50 years young and have been following Michael from day one. I took my son who is now 29 yrs of age , to MJ’s concert in Hartford Ct in 1988. My son had on his “Little Red Jacket” that he wore until he could not fit it any longer. We still have our treasured red jacket! . We love Michael and always will. From just one of the Baby Boomer! 1958 was one hell of a year!!!!
Michael will truly be missed for his electrifying dance performances. I will miss his arm bands he often wore. GOD bless him and his family
Michael you were truly an angel on Earth! I am so glad you touched my life with your beautiful music!! No one can walk in your footsteps for you are one of a kind! The EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD! I will miss you dearly. Much Love one of your fans Vanessa.
Rock In Paradise!! Muah.

omg, micheal jackson is really gone!!!!!!!!!! i remember when i was little i would play jackson 5′s the love u save and my mom would make me and my sisters try to do the dance!!!!!!!!!!!! i would get the dance on point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Several of the most memorable and happy moments of my childhood are due in whole or in part to Mr. Michael Jackson. Dancing to “Bad” in the living room, wearing my teddy bear’s fedora and trying to imitate and mimic Michael’s performance of “Billie Jean” at Motown 25, watching “Moonwalker” on VHS time and time and time again, I had a “Human Nature” folder, and a Colorform set. I idolized him and wanted to be him as a child. Today, it’s sunk in. I feel like I lost someone I grew up with; a friend i’ve never met personally, but nevertheless felt a connection with. I regret never getting the opportunity to see MJ perform in concert. After all i’ve seen it’s hard to believe he has gone from this world however his powerfully honest, vulnerable, heartfelt, and passionate music and nature will live on and continue to deliver sweet nostalgia, fun and smiles to me and his other fans throughout the world for generations to come. He will be deeply missed, celebrated, and loved by those of us he left behind.
RIP Michael
I recorded the memorial and can’t stop crying to watch it over and over again. It’s sad to imagine him gone. He will always be in my heart.
