I am a die hard metal fan! But in 1987 Micheal influenced me to buy a leather jacket and wear it in the toughest metal crowd ever. And it was respected! Black with a red vee. I will miss him and his music, love you Brother
I wish i had my own “MJ” story to share..”I remember me and mike was down Mondawmin and he asked me ‘Desi,were can i get a loose one?’…I said Mizzle, cause thats what i used to call him”….lol
Mike touched everyone world wide and will be forever remembered…
RIP MJ
Let us not dwell on the vicious public scrutiny of such a complicated and talented man. Everything he experienced, rejoiced in and endured made him the unforgettable musician that he IS. He cannot be duplicated because he is an original. When you experience his videos and hear his music you cannot deny his talent and ability to entertain, transcend generations and cultures and to truly be joyful. Thank you Michael for letting us into your world.
Micheal Jackson R.I.P you will be missed. May GOD continue to bless your children and family. We love you Micheal Jackson!
MJ thank you for giving a voice to all those who have been silenced by poverty. Your music will remain the heartbeat of this planet. From refugee camps to orphanages – people will continue to sing and dance until this planet heals.
Michael Jackson will always be remembered as not the King Of Pop, but the Greatest Entertainer Ever. He gave us wonderful music that will live forever. A part of him is still alive and though his passing was too soon, he will always be remembered and cherished always as the one and only Michael Jackson, The King Of Pop. God bless you Michael.

I member I was three years old when I first dance to the Jackson Five song dancing machine. I became an Instant fan. Then when the song Liberian Girl was produced…I was head over heals for MJ…Cause I am a native Liberian Girl. And it was like he was singing to me. I also remembered when He visited Liberia and watching him on Tv. Though you are gone MJ, you will never die in my world. I love you…From your Liberian Girl
My Prayer’s are definately with the Jackson family. We have definately lost one of the best. I remember putting on the jacket, twisting my jeri curl to be just like his, wearing the glove, the socks, my pants, everything I could to be like him. He was and still is my hero. I will truly miss him, but he will live on forever. He will never be forgotten. Love you Michael. Be Strong Jackson’s be strong.

I’m a year younger than Michael and grew up with posters of him from the teen magazines all over my bedroom helping me (or so I thought at the time) to be able to dream of him and quite often it worked. They were wonderful dreams, so wonderful I was mad when I woke up and tried my best to go back to sleep and hopefully finish the dream…..God, thank you for him and please watch over his beautiful children and bring comfort to them and the rest of the family.
R . I . P Michael Jackson
King of POP ! once a legend always a legend x
May your MEMORY live on forever .
Mmmwwwaaahhh x loveeeyouu !
I remember riding in my aunts car and her having me sing songs by Michael Jackson from his earlier days with the Jackson five. I instantly fell in love with his singing. I am glad that the world has come together to celebrate his life and his talent. It is hard to grieve the loss of a loved one. But it is especially to hard to share your last moments with you loved one with the public. I want to thank the Jackson family for sharing this time with us. My prayers are with his family. May he rest in peace.
MJ – he was a blessing from God that connected the entire planet through his pure loving heart that was expressed not only through his incredibly gifted singing and performing abilities, but through his lifelong heartfelt global humanitarian efforts. He touched my heart and soul in a deep way. I’ll always treasure the good fortune I had in 1984 to attend the Jackson’s Victory Tour in Jacksonville, FL – it was an experience of a lifetime! Today’s Memorial Service was truly the most beautiful, heartfelt and moving Memorial Services I’ve ever watched. My thoughts and prayers are with Michael’s beautiful children and his entire family. Thank you for the great memories Michael – you were a very special human being that touched the world. May your true legacy of reaching out to everyone to attempt to heal the world, truly come more to pass within the hearts and souls of mankind. May we all take a look at the Man or Woman in the Mirror and “make that change”. God rest your soul Michael!
Michael Jackon will be missed forever. Not matter what hardships he had to get through or the fights he had to battle, he will be remembered by his music and his dancing. He has inspired so many modern day artists from Usher to Omarion. He will be missed dearly and his legacy will live on forever and ever and ever.
Enjoy the music aside from his personal life.Truly gifted. Let’s hear lives of reporters.U know the one about people that live in glass houses.
One song, rarely played ” LOOK IN THE MIRROR” (my favorite) says it all.
I guess the good Lord had to take you away, from all the suffering your critics put you through. They never took the time to understand you and love you. They never realised how caring you were or all the concerns you had for the earth. You alone cannot do it. We all have to make the change to create a better world. Those in a position to make the changes do nothing, but only hate and critise you. I hope they are happy now. Anyway that is going to be on their conscience until their time comes and they have to answer to the almight one. I just wish I had the opportunity to meet you in person, because I love u, I love u ,I love you so much, and I could never stop loving you.I grew up with your music and your music still sounding soooooooo good. IMAGINE IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY COME BACK, YOU REALLY WOULD HAVE ROCK THIS WORLD AGAIN FOR A SECOND TIME. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO SO SOON?— I GUESS IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE. BUT I KNOW YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND FOREVER AND FOREVER. FURURE GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO HEAR YOUR NAME AND SEE YOUR VIDEOS AND LEARN OF THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVE ON THIS EARTH–MICHAEL JACKSON 1958-2009. PARISH, PRINCE AND BUBBLES YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OFF. AND YOU ALL IN TURN HAVE TO DO THE SAME MAKE MICHAEL PROUD OF YOUR’LL, BECAUSE ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO BE A DADDY.
REST IN PEACE
WE LOVE YOU, MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ANGELIA AND MYSELF
