It was a very emotional moment,I could feel the emotions of the family and friends that paid their tribute2him.I will never forget him
I watch Michael Jackson ever since i was little , i beleive it was his Thriller song that inspired me the most . he was truely blessed with a gift of changing the the whole world with his music . from his style of the moves he did to the way he sang his songs . he may may not be here physical form but his spirit will will live on through each and everyone of us who loved him .
I wish had met him in person he truely was a great guy in the history of today . Michael Jackson so shall it come to pass that you climb that stairway to heaven unforgettable to all the world ..
When I first heard Billie Jean, I was maybe 8 years old. But that song remains to this day one of my favorite songs. Michael transcended music. He created the music videos as we see them now. No one will ever be as great as him. It’s so sad to see him go. To the world he was a legend. To his family, like his daughter Paris showed, he was a father, a son, a brother, and a friend. No one will ever forget him. Rest In Peace Michael.
{Sighs} Michael Jackson Will Always Be A Huge Part Of My Life. I would first like to start of by letting there family know that my whole heart, prayers and condolences go out to them. It is real unfortunate that we had to say our Goodbye’s so so soon. I really never thought some one so fascinating like Michael would leave us so sudden, I’m pretty sure many people, fans understand me when I say…a tremendous part of me died when he past away. Michael has touched us all in different ways, his music was and will be an inspiration to all of us.[Especially Me] Like many others I’m sure, I grew up listening to his music and the way I felt listening to his voice and lyrics is unexplainable. I remember when I was younger when the Jackson Movie came out, I would play it over and over again on my moms VHS…& at times I would just fast forward it to see my favorite part of all…Him performing Billie Jean. *Michael I Will Miss You Dearly, And No Matter What…I LOVE YOU MORE* <3 ::MAY YOU REST IN PEACE::
I’m not ready to say Goodbye, Michael will live in my heart fovever RIP.
I don’t believe that man could have the gull to go publicly and say such things…Michael Jackson has NEVER been found guily of those alligations and another thing he should also understand as well as the other idiot low lives that share the same idea as he…people are greedy and would do ANYTHING for money….why should we worry about the war that ex Pres Bush started for his own benefit. He and his family are murderers…May GOD be with Michael’s children and his family through this tragic time…Mahalo Ke Alua…Aloha
I’m so sorry for all of the pain that you had experienced. Rest in the Lord’s hands now. You’ll always be remembered as sweet, caring, passionate and the best of all of us..
I will always love michael i feel like i lost my brother even though i didnt know him i wont forget it this year my dance teacher was helping me with a routine for smooth criminal so i could perform it in the talent . RIP MJ i will always miss you
THRU LIFE WE APPRECIATE WHO AFFECTS US

GOD CHOSE ONLY A FEW WITH SUCH A GLOW
THAT EVERYONE GREW TO KNOW
I TAKE THIS MOMENT AS A FAN,MUISICIAN & ARTIST
THAT’S IT’S NOT ALWAY’S ABOUT THE SMARTEST
I COMMEND,LOOK UP TO & ADMIRE
THE MAN IN THE MIRROR WITH THAT SOULFUL FIRE.
SIRUS
Wow, we lost someone so important to this world that no one can be compared or be replace like Michael Jackson. His music brought us together from different culture and nationalities. I wont ever forget when I was a little kid watching “Thriller” I was scared, but now that I’m an adult I was able to enjoy his music and I love it. Its memorial was beautiful and sad to watch, I cry next to my mom as we watch the memorial together. We wont ever forget Michael Jackson you are always going to be remember throw your music and videos. We can also make the world a better place. I love you Michael Jackson.
I grew up listening,dancing and yes roller skating to everything that was and is the King of Pop. He will be greatly missed by millions n millions of fans!!! Rest In Peace now my Brother!!!
you will always be remembered Michael. You will always be the king of pop.
The homegoing service for Michael Jackson was BEAUTIFUL. I was born in 89′ but I didn’t get the chance to see Michael Jackson perform live, or ever see him at all, but he still made me feel as though I knew him personally. I’m really glad his Memorial Service was viewed live because I felt as though as I was there and I shared that moment with the family, friends, and fans that were there.
MICHAEL I KNOW YOU ARE SINGING WITH THE ANGELS AND SHOWING THEM HOW TO MOON , RIP IN PEACE MJ
I feel like our generation has been robbed of one of its greatest treasures. Michal Jackson had such an amazing spirit about himself that came out through his music. I am still in shock . I think that this is just a very bad dream and I will wake up from it. I hope that he gets the respect and honor that he deserves and people failed to give him later on in his life. You will be missed and always be a part of my life. Rest in Peace Michael. You definitely deserve it
Many of my teenage memories are surrounded by Michael’s music. I remember my friends and I learning the dance to Thriller. The tradition and love of his music has moved on to my daughter, who as a cheerleader, started the Thriller dance tradition in her high school during pep rallies on Halloween. Missing you already Michael!
Like the producer of Motown put it, you are the greatest that ever live! On behalf of the Liberian, we love you and will missed you forever.
Brilliant and beautiful, moving and entertaining, his music will endure long after even all of us are nothing more than dust. Rest now, King. Your tour is finally over.
we will all miss you Michael. you will be remembered always.
I wasnt even born when Thriller was released but I do remember the first time I saw that video. I remember dancing with my family to the Jackson 5 hits. I also remember hearing that he had been arrested and pinching myself in disbelief. I remember watchng his public address and where I was when I heard he was acquitted. He was more then one of a kind, he was a trend setter and an inspiration and dispite all the bad press artists like Ne-Yo, Usher, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Jay-Z and many more owe him their success, because without him they wouldnt be as big as they are now. I am now 21 years old and about to get married and I will always remember where I was when I heard about the King of Pops death. Michael Jackson may you moon walk into the valley of the shaddow of death and smile back at us with the same passion and confidence you had while making your music video hits. No one can take your place in our hearts and in our minds and I give you my promise to pass on your talents of song and dance to my future children and grandchildren. God Bless you, your family and friends.
Wow this is very had to believe. I cant believe that the King of Pop is dead, all i think about is Michael Jackson is dead. I grew up with all his songs, and all the dance moves that he’s done through out the years, and let me say, he can dance and sing like nobody that I know. He was such an inspiring person who tryed to help the world friends, and of course his family. I am sad for his family, and his three childern. I will pray for the family, and all of his fans. He was a truely an icon, and he will be very well missed and loved by friends, family, and all the people who loved him. R.I.P. I love you forever
kimberly grassman and my family
Final Dress Rehearsal
The lights go down, curtain’s up
To know OF you is not enough
Your voice divine, moves sublime
Goodbye is hard, but it is time
Your gifts to us are real
Music, love, and unity
Your passing still surreal
None of us have immunity
United we celebrate
Your life, genius, and legacy
Too little, but not too late
I only wish you could see personally
As an angel in the Heavens
You shall lead the chorus above
Gracing us with your song and voice
Filling our hearts with your unconditional love
Your work on Earth is done
But your real work has only just begun
Generations of your fans await
Your final dress rehearsal at Heaven’s gate

I watched Micheal Jackson Memorial today. It was wonderful. When His daughter Paris talk then I crying.. I feel like it touched me. I love his music and his smile. I alway love him and miss him. God Bless to Micheal’s Family. Rest In Peace King of Pop, Love Nikki
I wish you knew how much you changed my life. You were like a close, personal friend that spoke to me through your music. Your smile was electric, your dancing thrilled and inspired me and your humanity touched the core of my soul. I wish you knew how much I love you and how much the world will miss you, Michael. I pray that God would let you look down on this His creation to catch a glimpse of our sincerest gratitude and admiration for you and what you gave to us. I wish you knew..
Love to you always and may your spirit live on in your work.
God Bless you, Michael

I feel so blessed and fortunate to have been part of the era in which Michael Jackson reigned. He taught me the value of being unique and gifted. Thank you for all that you have bestowed upon America, Mike. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten!
Listening To Michael Jackson songs to make me beleive that He is the Greatest Entertainer Ever. His Music is inspirational and thank you for making such a change to the entertainment industry.
“Thriller” was the first music video I ever remember seeing. I took it to the babysitter’s everyday and sang “Rockin’ Robin” at the top of my lungs around the house. I never once doubted the man behind the music and I thank him for staying strong and dedicated to providing the world his musical genious.
Michael Jackson
R.I.P you meant the world to me and now you are gone but atleast you are in a better place
It is amazing how so many generations know about the famous Micheal Jackson. We have small children who know well enough of this man and how famous he was. That is how we know Micheal Jackson is a legend and will remain a legend and will never be forgotten.
I know how everyone feels about Michael leaving us to soon…We loved him….But his father in Heaven LOVED HIM BEST!!!!
At the right time;
At the right place;
My father walked in with a smile on his face;
He called my name and said unto me;
Come Michael my child it’s time to come home you’ve fulfilled your destiny;
And with great pleasure in the tone of his voice;
My heart smiled with great rejoice;
Our father doesn’t make mistakes you know;
You don’t understand right now but from this you will grow;
Cry no more; be worry free;
For I now have eternal life and live for eternity;
Until that day we meet again;
My love is with my children, family, and fans forever;
AMEN
God Bless You Michael

Michael Jackson is a man that will not be forgotten. no one and i mean no one will be able to top him. he has change my life and many other people lifes i love him and he will be miss love peace and soul
Im only 21 years old, but I have so many fun memories of playing a jackon 5 cassette tape and just loving the songs! “I want you back,”"Ill be there,” and “ABC,” were my favorite. It also brought my mother, older brother, and me closer, as we sang along to his songs in the car! Im so glad that I was able to witness such a great entertainer already in my lifetime. I dont know if the world will ever see that kind of talent again, but Ill always remember the day we lost him, and how people all around the world shared their love and great memories of him. He brought the world, of all ages, ethnicities, genders, together even after he passed, and Im confident that his spirit, legacy, and music will continue to touch people and bring the world closer together! Rest is Peace Michael…you touched and inspired many from all around the world, you made a difference, and we appreciate you more then you could have known!!

I am so sorry children you lost your favorite person. His, ours, and mine; I am sorry Michael and families that we made him hide more than we made him hide
When we worshiped him, he had no wrong then we wronged him. We wronged the personality and that is not fair. It was a time when we did now it is the norm. Then become famous over it. Pitiful is it not? Michael the genius the father the person your family knows, watch over your children and may they be your next successor and inspiration and be who or whatever their destiny and heart desires.
U ROCK MJ U WILL BE MISSED
The Earth is a miserable place, humans can be hurtful and vile; but Michael was tender-hearted and a talented individual. We mourn the loss, Heaven reaps the reward. Condolences to his family and thank you to his mother for her gift to us all. Michael is at peace, God love him.
Michael, you will truly be missed you was a wonderful singer and a great dancer and we can’t believe your gone…….God Bless your family in their time of mourning!!…….WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!~~ Rest in Peace!!~~
even though i didnt no michael that well i feel like i lost someone very close to me!GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY!
