i was totally in love with him ever since i can remember and still was the day he passed. i'll never forget him and i will miss him forever. there will never go one day that passes that i wont tell him i love him. i never met him, i just wish i did so bad. i will do whatever i can to honor his memory for the rest of my life. i miss him so much.

Micheal Jackson was more than a legend... He was a father, son, uncle, brother,friend, an entertainter, a hero, most importantally he was "special". God gave us an angel we were lucky to have had him on this earth with us. God needed his angel back. Sure god knew that it would bring millions and millons of tears, and broken hearts to the world but he also knew that we would undertand. Micheal Jackson music will live forever in each one of our hearts. He healed the world, he entertained the world, he taught the world how to come together. We will never say goodbye to the King of Pop as for nobody will ever take his place. GOd Bless you Micheal Jackson and Rest in peace. We love you.

I WAS VERY UPSET FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN ME & MY QUESS GOT TO KURA&Y AND COUNLDN'T GET IN.

When I was little I looked at Micheal Jackson like he was a Disney character because he was soo magical I was always amazed when i watched him on t.v. 20 years later I'am still filled with amazement when I watch him on t.v. Micheal Jackson is magical and amazing but what I love about him the most is that he is soo pure and sensitive with a kind heart!!! He truly cared about every living thing on this earth!!! What an accomplishment he made by being one single human being and touching everyone in the entire world. I hope now he can see how loved he truly is and how beautiful he always was on the inside and out!!!

My daughter refused to change her last name from Jackson to her father last name she would wear her hair like Michael's and when she was little she would wear the penny loafers with the bobby socks and her studded glove because of her love for Michael Jackson. She said she is going to be famous like him and wanted to have the same last name.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Jackson in the past and him becoming a true friend to me. He was one of the most nicest sweetest person you would ever want to meet. He was often shy at times and, I would say to him, “Michael how come you are so shy but, when it comes down to performing you act like a wild leopard”. He would start laughing and say this career is his life and he enjoy what he does especially making people happy. I personally had some problems myself and, I talked to him about it and he gave me the best advice. Each and everyday I set in tears crying about Michael. Attending the funeral was like ripping my insides out. He was my friend who was like a brother to me. He never did anything wrong to hurt anyone. Certain people just want to accused him with bogus lies in order to become rich. These people who won are now the owners of mansions, bentleys, porsches etc. The last boy who is now a man was spotted in nightclubs with woman around him. He doesn’t look like anything happen to him. He is living a very wealthy lifestyle. How come no medical examination was done on the boys in both cases. The parents didn’t want it because, they knew they lied and would have been caught. Michael was simply tired and became stress out of all of it and he gave in. He loved children and he never really had a childhood himself especially, having a father who was always on him about music and never letting him go outside to play like other children. Michael you are the one who was there for me doing my bad situation. You was there to lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on when needed. Even if you where far away you would check in from time to time to say hello. I will always be there for your children and the rest of the Jackson family when needed. To all the celebrities that is promoting their career using Michael’s name, please show some respect and don’t do that. There are other ways to promote yourself as an artist. Michael,I LOVED YOU SO MUCH AND MISSED YOU. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU THEN, NOW AND FOREVER! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY BROTHER IN GOD’S KINGDOM RIP

I can remember being a little kid and and my parents playing off the wall and the thriller albums at house parties and all the kids dancing around in the middle of the floor... and from that point on... whenever Michael Jackson came on TV I was glued... I had to see him proform... one the the best proformers I ever saw and when he did that hour set at his 30th anniversary concert (30 with his brothers and 30 by himself) I knew he still had... I was looking foward to his london tour and find myself watching a Michael Jackson video a day now... so when I heard Speaker Pelosi shot down a resolution making Michael Jackson an American icon... it upset me... I started a petiton in hopes that congress would bring it back up and pass it... you are welcomed to sign it.. when it is done congress will see it and I hope the change their mind and give Michael the credit he is due...

http://www.petition2congress.com/2/2215/bring-back-pass-resolution-making-michael-jackson-an-american-ico/

one of my biggest regrets is that i will never get to experience a live show of his. you might say it was on my things to do list before i depart the earth. there is still a void that is there since he's left. he was so close to another return to the stage man. the worst part is is that you would have still been here if not for the troubles these haters bombarded you with. mike you were always my fave no matter what the media or anyone else said. just no that in life and death we, your true fans that love you, have got your back. i salute you mr. jackson. job well done. your legacy will continue to live on. peace.

I first heard The Jackson 5 when I 23 yrs old, Michael was 10. I could not belive the lead singer (Michael) was 10 yrs. old. Forty years later Michael continues to rock my world, I am now 63 yrs.old. I don't know him personally, only through his music, and what he conveys. It is documented he has donated millions of dollars to assist children, and he has also donated his time in hospitals, etc. As a recognized public image musician and a multimillionaire he was an easy target. Others in his same position have countersued the accusers, but because he was so emotionally fragile, Michael would rather give in to money demands hoping all would go away, many wanted and want "a piece of him". May Michael finally rest in peace.

my heart goes to his family but i bet he was watching over the memorial laughing god bless u micheal r.i.p all my love to those beautiful children that have lost a great off this world xxx

Thank you soo much for soo much. I will never forget the spark ignited by your genuine love for all creatures, may I live as completely as you exemplified

The first thing I thought about when I heard that Michael was gone,was..Did he go to heaven? Michael was a man of great talent and we all love his music. It seems like Michael had such a good heart. I always felt that Micheal tryed so hard to please his fans and others, that he completly forgot about himself. We as God children must learn to acknowledge the Lord and put him first then we will learn to LOVE our selves enough to know that we are more than just fortune and fame we are beyond that. No matter how popular you are on earth, if your not a servant of the lord at the end of the day nothing else matters.

Michael Jackson is woven into the fabric of my life. He captivated with an angelic but soulful voice. Not just King of Pop, he seemed to embody the physical form of rhythm, blues, soul, funk, dance, and rock. He dissected a bar of music and its syncopations vocally and physically as though he saw the rhythm. Professional dancers couldn’t keep up with him, even to his last. Although he worked to perfect his craft, he exuded energy, as though it was too much for one body and it yearned to escape, especially when he’d scream or sigh “ooh.”

The Jackson 5 still claim the best renditions of “I’ll Be There,” “Who’s Loving You” and the now heart-wrenching “Never Can Say Goodbye.” He was soft and joyful on “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and “Rock With You,” but contrastingly heartbreaking on “She’s Out of My Life.” On Thriller he had magic of movement on the 3 big songs, and the funky “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.” Women still answer his call: “Pretty young things repeat after me, Say Na Na Na.” And the most sweetly sexy song is “Human Nature” – expressing such an ecstasy of bliss.

He was dedicated to philanthropy, especially children’s causes, and to socially-conscious themes starting with “We Are the World.” He commanded delicately romantic lyrics with “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” yet, we still grooved to “the Way You Make Me Feel” and the harsh sexiness of “Dirty Diana.” “Smooth Criminal” trail-blazed dance and short film-making in its own right. Surrounded, the viewers’ eyes are still drawn only to him.

“They Don’t Care About Us,” and “Leave Me Alone” struck at his attackers. And he still had the power to touch with “Childhood,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Pie Jesu,” and “Smile.” On Invincible he had that classic sound with “You Rock My World” and “Butterflies.” He always enthralled like his moving live tribute to Sammy Davis, Jr. “You Were There.”

His legacy has a far wider breadth than this short list, more so when considering his influence. He was the consummate performer and showman. Sammy Davis, Jr., his closest counterpart, never commanded the legions that Michael did. His life can’t be reduced to a few images because it cheats him of how he revolutionized show business and music. I hope that soon, a proper retrospective is done honoring his memory, which allows for the just valuation of his importance.

I’m hurt for his passing but also for him; he was always pressured and persecuted, even in death. He seemed such a soft soul and unprepared for the attacks that he often endured from an unforgiving yet demanding public and press and seemed to lose the ability to trust people. He is not being given his due respect and even now some are attempting to rob him of what he took pride in, his children and his legacy.

“And when the groove’s dead and gone, you know that love survives, so we can rock forever on.”

I loved Michael Jackson since the first day I laid eyes on him and he will forever be in my heart. He was the best entertainer of all times and there will never be another like him. I always believed in him no matter what and I was crushed when I heard the news of his passing. You are a LEGEND and I love you Michael always and forever.

you made history not only for you but for everyone who listen to your music,you have done so much for so many people that you will always be known as simply THE KING period ... thank you so very very much. may god be with you always!

Having grown up during the same time period as Michael Jackson, it was amazing as a child to witness someone in my age category enjoying so much success at such an early age. It was truly incredible. It is equally incredible at this stage in life to have witnessed the heights reached by Michael Jackson in such a short period of time. Take your rest my brother, you've earned your place in tranquility.

with the passing of this great soul, less we forget another angel is born to watch over us. like the gods of past, this god of his craft will truly be missed. R.I.P., i will see you on your next journey. MJ taught us to be human and humane. God Bless his children.

as a dj back in the 70's & 80's from long island n.y. every michael jackson song played in the clubs were floor packers. I loved him as a artist he will be truely be missed and he will always be a legacy to me and millions around the world. God bless michael jackson.

Thank you Michael for inspiring all of us with your music. Although you are gone you will NEVER be forgotten!!! You will be missed.

Michael Jackson was definitely a treasure to the music industry and the world. He will live on forever. My condolences goes out to the Jackson Family.

I Cry Today

To a brother who was a little younger than my age
From a sister who thought that you owned the stage
From ABC and I Want You Back around the tender age of ten
And when you sang about a rat named Ben
Straight through to Butterflies,
Michael you’ve left me with tears in our eyes.
I cry for the ironically sad life you led
May you find peace now that you are dead.
I cry also with millions of fans in this universe
For no other entertainer can quench our thirst.
You are an icon, genius, and a legend also
How sad that one so awesome had to go.
Thanks for your gifts to us, voice and movements
You entertained with such class, you were brilliant!
Thanks for your gentle and humanitarian spirit
God blessed you with huge talent and you shared it.
Michael, at fifty you have passed away;
My heart is broken and so I cry today.

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson ……….1958 - 2009

You'll be greatly missed. Your legacy and music will live on forever. You brought joy, tears and laughter thru your music and videos. I will always be greatful and priviledged to have seen you in concert with your brothers. RIP and God Bless you. My prayers are with your children, your family, friends and fans. Go do your moon walk in the heavens!

My son was 5 and my daughter were 12 years old when I took both of them to see the Jackson 5 at the Sunrise Musical Theater(now the Faith Center in Sunrise, FL. They are now in their 30's and 40's. That was my first time ever seeing Michael live in person. I was in tears when my daughter first called me with the SHOCKING news about Michael. God bless the family. No one never knows what the next day will bring. Live your life to it's fullest. Spend time with family and friends more often. Michael we love you, but God loves you more. "Rest in peace" "THE KING OF POP"

1995 Hurricane Marilyn hit the Virgin Islands and destroyed the 3 islands. Michael's song I am here with you is the song that kept us calm through the storm. We are greatfull to you Michael Rest in Peace.

He will truly be missed! Micheal Jackson gone? Can't believe it! Can't be true

I am still in shock to know that Michael Jackson will not grace our eyes and ears anymore.. I have loved Michael Jackson since I was 10 years old, he was the first person I ever saw singing and dancing that caught my attention at a young age.. God bless his soul.. My heart goes out to his family and friends. With much love.. Irish Nichole McCrea

I will miss you Mike..

Yesterday was a day that alot of wish did not go as it did. The world lost one of it's
most loved artist, Michael Jackson. Not only was he an icon of music and song, he
was for most of us, part of our family. In some way his music, lyrics and life touched
our own. We can all sit back and hear his music and with every song, remember where
we were, what we were doing and how it made us feel.

Micheal livd his life as best he could by living it to the fullest. We should not reflect on
his past issues, but most importantly on how this man touched the lives of millions around
the world. The one thing he did was leave us all a legacy of music that will never die.

Today family I say this to you. Live your life to the fullest everyday. As you take a personal
moment to reflect on how his music and life touched yours, think about how your life has
touched those around you and how will you be remebered. How will you remeber those
around if that soemone close to you is gone unexpectedly.

No one expected this to happen so suddenly. And becasue of this we should all take a moment
to remember that one nevers knows what the next day will bring. Our own lives are given to us
all on borrowed time. At some point god will call us home to his loving arms as he did with
Micheal.

With this said I send my prayers to the Jckson Family. And to you, my extended family I say
tell that someone that is special to you in your life how much you love them and appreciate them
because we never know when it maybe time for them to go home.....

Micheal we love you and will miss you but your music and your legacy will live with us all.......
REST IN PEACE....

The world has lost a legend, but he must stay in our hurts. My prayers go out to his family. Michael Joe Jackson will be missed I Love You Michael RIP.

I am here sitting on my bed listening to all the commentaries about such a great man, musician, and humanitarian. I remember being 7 years old (crying) in the United States Virgin Islands sitting in my classroom watching his Thriller video. I have been and will always be a fan. His music and efforts impacted many lives all over the world. May he forever rest in peace. Love you, Mike!

yesterday was the worse day of my life, here that Fawcett and Jackson died hours apart.

When i was asleep, i heard the words Michael Jackson is hospitalized and i had no idea if i was sleeping or what until i fell off my bed. Then i woke up and glared a the TV and i realized that wasnt a dream.



My family was praying he was gonna make it out of the hospital. But that didnt work.

Our hearts goes out to the Jackson family.

And my family hopes that Janet Jackson gets a to care for the kids.

The impact of Michael Jackson's death is like the impact of the 911 tradegy!

This is truly a sad day for all of us. I cant believe that he is gone. Micheal was the greatest. Whenever I go to a party, you can always look forward to hearing one of his songs. He will ne truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. He is the best performer ever lived.

You will be missed by all !God Bless your family and friend.

My prayer is that his soul is now at peace and rest. May he receive the peace that only the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ can give. I will truly miss this wonderful, talented and beautiful man with a sweet and gentle soul. My prayers are also for his family and children. I pray for them during this their time of loss and sorrow. However, it is also a time to remember him through his amazing music, videos, and short films. I believed the Lord just simply told him No Michael that is enough-it's time to rest-come home to me. Michael will forever be remebered as more than the "King of Pop", for me he will be remembered as a gentle sweet soul who loved the world and wanted love in return. Dear Michael you will ALWAYS be loved. May your soul be at rest with the Lord. You are Forever Loved...God Bless You All

Man... it's a sad day in music... I am feeling really blue. I never met MJJ, never been to any of his concerts, never owned any of his albums until I was old enough to get some money. What I can say is... He changed the game. It's been over 20 years since Off The Wall, Thriller, and Bad albums, yet artists are still mimicking his moves, trying to sound like him, and look like him, but there will never be another Michael Jackson. I remember going to elementary school and looking up at his poster on the wall as one of the role models black men should strive to make themselves after. His poster was beside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's. When I think about it now, it's surreal to read about someone's life in history books while they are still living yet adding more chapters to the text. Now that he's gone, what are they going to write about? The small amount of bad, we have seen and scrutinized, or the greater good of the people who have benefited from his life and will continue to enrich us. You know... Every once in a while, a generation of people receive that special person they'll probably never meet but that person affects their lives monumentally. Person(s) who are so ahead of their time, their talent seems almost God-like. Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Edison Arantes do Nascimento aka "Pele", Ali, John F. Kennedy, Witney Houston, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Celia Cruz, Ray Charles, Little Richard, and Stevie Wonder are just a few names I have placed in my category, although others may add plenty more. All of names aforementioned represent something we all should strive for; perfection. These beings spent years focusing and fine tuning their craft so they could deliver something potent and beneficial for humanity. Just imagine if we all could focus on that one thing we could contribute to humanity and fine tune it within ourselves. Wouldn't the world be better place for us? Isn't it what all great people want?

Just wanted to give my comments on this TRAGIC loss. It was so heartbroken to hear this news today. I couldn't believe it so me being @ work i said i wasn't gonna believe it till i got home. But when i started to get so many texts and phone calls it was confirmed.... I have been sad in the past when we lost Aaliyah, Luther Vandross, Gerald Levert, and so many other but MICHAEL JACKSON?? wooooow!! an unexpected news!! My dream was to see him in concert, to meet him and i didn't get that opportunity. I have soooo many GREAT childhood memories listening to his music, trying to dance like him, being so happy listening to his music. Like i've told people, besides the negative things that happen to him doesn't take away from the humility this man had. He was humble, TALENTED, kind, caring, different, changed the world of music, he made people just feel and think different. He was an entertainer, he was special, he was soooo BIG and no matter what country people knew him!!! He will truly be missed and his music will truly live. People forget that he was a father, a son, a brother, an uncle, human, and so my prayers go out to his family and friends because they lost someone. His fans have lost him and we will always remember him. No matter what his music will ALWAYS live on. Thank you! I tried to get the number to call in but i can't get through... God bless and may God bless Michael Jackson!!! R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
