Michael Jackson’s life inspired so many people.He will be missed and forever remembered for his big heart and love for the world.He revolutionized the music industry and there will never be anyone else like him. Love and Prayers.
I grew up listening to MJ music and no matter what people have said or will say MJ was a postive influence and above all he was a human being who deserves to laid to rest and let to rest in peace. Remember all the good MJ did and forget the negative things that were said about him because no one but MJ and God know the truth RIP Michael Jackson your music will live on and so will you in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family at this time in your lifes. God bless
My mother recently remodeled my childhood home last month. I have been gone for years but underneath my old bedroom carpet was my precious Michael Jackson locket that was perfectly preserved for the last 26 years!! The day he passed I made my two boys watch the entire Thriller video while I did my moves. I wish they could have lived back in the eighties when I grew up..what a GREAT ERA!! RIP MJ..
micheal you are the true king of pop and king of videos your music will forever live on so will our love, you are humanitarian in every essence of the word long reign the king of pop
The song Heal The Word expresses the essence of who Michael Jackson really was. He knew he had a prophecy to endure and he was determined to fulfill it.. Which was to bring the world together as one..
He was the king and shall always be the king of pop. Dear God we all love mj and will miss him forever. To the family and little babies he left behind my heart breaks with you and one day we will be with him. Long live the king.
I grew up listening to MJ and The Jacksons and I am so saddened by his passing! There will never b another like him. He will always be imitated but never duplicated! My heart is going out to his family and his children!!! He is in a better place for sure!!!!! RIP MJ
My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson Family. Michael will truely be missed! He was a great entertainer, and made very touching songs. R.I.P Michael!
The world will always remember this legendary singer. When he sang his voice was magic. He sang his life in many of his songs. His wishes and dreams. I grew up with his music. My favorite song was ” Corner of the sky”. I believe he has found his corner and I know he’s singing and dancing as he had done on this earth. May his children remember him always as a person who lived on love and peace. I send prayers to all of his family.
Your free Michael,your finally free.
I remember when I was in high school on the basketball team, my coach liked the song “we are the world,”she practically made the whole team fall in love with the song. I Love You, Micheal, you will always be in my heart.
when i heard the king of pop Micheal Jackson died i was heart broken and i thought it was a joke but i know it wasn’t so thanks micheal for the good times and the songs and the entertanment and there will never be another micheal jackson so thank you and farwell.
Weather people appreciated Michael Jackson’s music or not, I think everyone should honor him in some way. He was not only the greatest entertainer to ever live, he was a hero to people all over the world. He gave millions of dollars to underprivileged countries and entertained our soldiers while they fought to keep us free. Let us not focus on the speculations of what he may have done the ways he lived his life, let us be thankful for his position in the world and his attempts to make it a better place for everyone everywhere.
Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion, when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists. I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing and then, it is the eternal dance of creation. The creator and the creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing until there is only. . .the dance.
Michael Jackson 1992
I was deeply saddened when I heard the news June 25th that the amazing entertainer that is Michael Jackson had passed.
Today, while watching his memorial, I cried for his children, family, friends, all the fans all over the world, and for myself. We will never again see him dance and sing as only he can live, and in person, bigger than life, the brightest star a stage has ever seen.
I am thankful I had his music to listen and dance to as I grew up.
My family lived in England when we first saw the Jacksons. Even as a five year old child, I knew they were special, and that Michael was a STAR.
Thank you for giving us your all in everything you did. I will forever love you and keep you in my heart. You will forever live in the lives of all of us, your fans and friends.
R.i.P Mj! YOU ARE thE bESt! i l<3VE YOUR MUSiC! EVERYONE FROM EWA bEACh,hAWAii
i Will MiSS YOU!
Will NEVER FORGEt YOU! RESt iN PEACE MAN!
Michael, I have always thought you were a very special person. I have watched you, and yours since the Ed Sulivan show. I never believed you were guilty of anything, and there were valid reasons for your changes. These beliefs made me none too popular, but I don’t care about that. I just wish I could have met you, and shared a word or two. I know you are in a better place now. May God bless your grieving family, and I know just as your word… (you will be there)… Cal
MJ’s memorial service was so moving, watching it made me so tearful. Michael was indeed a heaven sent who shared to the world God’s messages through his gift of music.. My condolences to the Jackson’s Family. God bless you Michael, We love you!!!
I lost it completely when Michaels beautiful diaghter Paris, bravely stood there and told the world she loves her Daddy. Michael would be so proud.
I have not stopped crying since Michael died.
Michael, you will never be forgotten. Your music will live on forever and ever.
No other muso is like you nor will there ever be.
Rest In Peace
I love you
Michael Jackson’s cause of death is still not known. His body is supposedly in the casket. So only his remains are left to be tested.
The question that needs answering is, Who is protecting these remains to ensure they are tested correctly? His Doctors are already fuzzy with details, let us at least make sure we guard his remains with ample Security. Otherwise, a cover up may be in the making. If you’re reading this, please do what you can to make sure this is handled truthfully and forthright.
Well Michael,I am happy the trash papers can leave you alone now.I would not waste a dime to buy that crap anyway but some do.As a 60 year old white woman I would like to say I have always been a fan of yours.I love you and what you stood for.I only wish there were more people like you.How proud you must be of your beautiful children.I don’t say beautiful lightly as they are absolutely gorgeous.You will never be forgotten and the memorial to you was awesome.I am watching it again with tears falling.I miss you and hope to see you in heaven.
When I think of Michael Jackson, I remember watching all his music videos as a young girl, and rewatching Moonwalker so many times, that I am amazed that the tape still works. My siblings and I would “attempt” to dance like him, and fail misserably! But we had the greatest fun. I will cry and laugh when I think of him. I wish his family love and support for the rough times ahead. My only advice for them, mourn till you cannot help, but to laugh at your memories you were lucky enough to have with him. I have cried my tears for him, but now I will smile and remember the bond he helped create with my brother and sister. Thank you Michael.
I remember you when you just started, i love the music then & will forever.
You earned your wings MJ. Fly, Fly with all the other angels and be free. Free from crime, hatred, racisim, free from pain, free from fear, FLY FLY MJ..
I will not weep for you have gone,, I WILL REJOICE FOR YOU ARE WITH YOUR ‘FATHER”.
I will miss ya..Will you sing for me in Heaven??
it was a love affair that started in 1969 and would last through all eternity FOREVER MICHEAL……..
We must realize that we only borrowed him for a season. Now it was time to return back home and rest in peace, and enjoy the heavens and see the real beauty without being troubled by this mean and hateful world. We will always love you. Fly Away now Michael.
MICHAEL JACKSON WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN FOR HIS SIGNATURE MOVE THE MOON WALK
MICHAEL JACKSON IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF MUSIC …. MJ YOU ARE THE WORLD GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY YOU WILL BE MISSED MICHAEL BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN…..
While watching the memorial yesterday, we were reminded of many of the great, selfless things Michael did in his life. After listening to all of the loving words of those who spoke, I ask all of us to look into the mirror and ask if it were our memorial how many loving words would be spoken? How many people would be in attendance? How do we want to be remembered? Maybe we all need to learn the lessons he taught by how he lived and loved, and follow his lead. Keep him alive by treating others as he would. Thank you Michael, you have given soo much more than music and entertainment. You are loved and missed! God Bless You, Michael!!
I challenge those who have condemned or judged or portrayed Michael as someone odd or bad to ask themselves if they have done a fraction of the good he has done in his lifetime. If they can’t say yes, maybe they need to spend more time improving themselves instead of trying to destroy someone else. Especially someone so great, who has done sooo much good!
Michael Jackson you are and will always be the greatest entertainer thats ever lived. God Bless You Forever. Thanks.
My heart has been heavy since June 25, 2009 and is still heavy. The WORLD has lost a great entertainer in the music industry. He was more than an icon to me, I feel like I have lost a brother also. There is no music like Michael’s music, it has/had meaning to it, it really came from his heart, a heart so big that no one will ever come close to what he did for us all. The memorial was beautiful, but I still can’t believe I was watching it. I am at such a loss right now and really feeling empty inside. To his family, I am so so sorry for what you are going thru right now, none of us should be going thru this. To his children, I too have lost my dad, so I feel your pain, I am sure your dad broght you up with nothing but love for one another and others, because that is how he lived and remember that you will always be loved by your family and your dads fan family. To the ones responsible for this, you will never know what devistation you have brought to the WORLD, every country, every continent and every state, you will never know. To Michael, may you rest in peace now, I will always love you and you and your music will always live in my heart forever and ever.
God Bless Michael. I am sad.
you were the happiness for the sad and comfort for the unrested thank you for making our life more valuable,your music put the hope in us
I think so many people believe this amazing man would live forever, not just through his music, but literally. He’s been invincible ever since he showed the world what he could do at such a young age. His talent; his ability to be so humlbe; his loving heart & passion for his family, friends and amazing fans made him the King he is today. Rest now, you’re with our King now Michael- I send you my love.
I will love and respect Mr. Michael J. Jackson always. My mother played his music all the time-I grew up listening to him, and my first memory of him was Motown 25-I was 7 years old living in Germany. I could not get enough of him. My biggest regret is I never saw him in concert. My children love his music and dance moves, and we sing one of his songs on karaoke every family night that tradition will continue (my children almost have the Thriller dance routine down). I know he is in heaven and has no more pain. My prayers and heart go out to his children and his family. God will make the loss of our loved one a little more bearable everyday. He will be remembered forever, loved always, and deeply missed.
Michael,
it’ really is hard to see a world without you,we took you for granted and you will truly be missed… you have left a world thats truly better…thank you for the music, thank you for allowing us to dance,thank you for teaching us to dream…
My heart aches for Michaels children, for their Daddy is “gone too soon”.
I listened to your music and watched you perform most of my life. You are without a doubt the best thing to have happened to the music industry. You were a wonderful and loving person. You will be loved and missed forever. Thank you for being you and Thank you for bringing such beauty to our lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family…especially your children. God Bless You and Your Family!! Rest in peace Michael….rest in peace.
Ever since I was a child MJ was in my life. His music moved me. He gave me peace when times were hard and soothed me when I was sad. He was truely a great man. In all the hardships MJ still smiled with joy in life. He has helped so many in the world through is compassion for life and love. I give his family my sincere love and prayers. To his parents thank you for sharing your son with us. MJ was the king of pop, but he was also a great father to his children. I would also like to say thank you and much love to you to MJ for touching my life. May God give you the peace and love much deserved for your life accomplishments in his name. My prayers sre with you and your family. You will always be remembered by me and my family.
Love Always and forever, April
Everyone is commenting on Michael’s guilt, how about commenting on the parents who SOLD their children’s SOUL. If Michael did those things why didn’t these people make him go to court, so there child could have closure, no instead they SOLD there kids, put a price tag on there abuse. SHAME SHAME SHAME. No-one will ever know what Michael did or didn’t do, but everyone will always know what those parents did to there children. MAY GOD FORGIVE THOSE PARENTS……I have a son, and there is not any amount of money that would make me let a child molester go, if he really did something to my son..
Michael I’m sorry for the people that took advantage of who you were.
You should have fought for yourself, but I’m sure the easy way out was to pay…….
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU.

i would like to say about the parents who sold there childrens soul. all they wanted was money because they new michael was innocent.it was all about the money. i dont care who you are no one is gonna settle for money in that situation unless you are wrong. if they had any decency in them at all they would now step forward and tell the truth.Michael jackson deserves nothing more now that he is gone.but they will pay there price on judgement day.Michael jackson was and always will be a wonderful person with a huge heart. my prayers are with the family and most of all his children.god bless you. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL
There is no one else like Michael. We keep hearing this comparison to the Beatles and Elvis Presley – neither had perfomances that spanned decades or continents like MJ. Let’s give what is due to him – there is none like him period.
WE WILL MISS YOU MICHAEL.YOU WERE AN INSPIRATION FOR EVERYBODY.
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC AND ALWAYS WILL.I UNDERSTOOD YOU VERY WELL. YOU HAD
A HEART OF GOLD. I ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET YOU.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! YOU WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED.

Michael is the Greaest of all times and We love you Michael.
I still can’ t believe it. He was and always will be THE KING OF POP. I will miss you MJ but I will never forget you. God Bless you and your Family. Thank You Lord for giving us MJ.
Michael Jackson was more than just The King of Pop, he was a legend. His music is just something everyone hears some time in their life, because they were hits. From ABC to They Dont Care About Us, from Ill Be There to You Rock My World, they are all recognizable. Michael is one of the most talented people I have ever heard of. The eight Grammy award winner broke the record of most won awards in a single night. That takes a lot of talent. Michael wouldnt want us to be sad about his death. He would be thankful that he got to do what he did and had all of us to be there to be supportive towards him. We should think of the good things he did for us and be thankful that he did them. He was one of the sweetest people ever and he sent good messages through his music. Amazing, talented, and sweet are three words I picked to describe Michael Joseph Jackson, The King of Pop.
Michael Jacksons death was so unexpected and I think thats why its been so hard for anyone to accept that a wonderful treasure is now forever gone. We were blessed to have an angel like him on this Earth for as long as we did. Thank you Michael for your generous and memorable contributions to the human race (my 3 yr old is already trying to moonwalk!). Thank you for having such a big heart and for being a shining example of what it means to turn the other cheek. No matter how hard people may have tried, they never broke your spirit and I really admired that about you. To his children (if they ever read this) I would just like to say that despite the negative remarks people may make, what matters more than anything is what you remember him for. Anyone with a heart can see what an innocent and loving person he really was. I will NEVER forget the one, the onlyMichael Jackson. He will always be imitated, but never duplicated. People are always going to think whatever they want, but I choose to remember Michael Jackson as the gentle soul with a big heart that I know deep down he was. This world can be so cruel and I can only hope he is in a better place now. He will forever be remembered and sorely missed. He truly is one of kind and could never be replaced. Thank you Michael for sharing your talent with us! May God bless and take care of his family and children. May he rest in peace. Love you Michael!
Michael Jackson was and is inspiration to all. There will never be better! R.I.P Michael we love you!!!
