Wow.. Im still in shock. When I noticed that he was dead, I said, What? Are you sure (it was a friend)?? And well, he was an inspiration to so many singers… and now he’s gone. I hope people could remember him as “The King of Pop”, and never forget him. Cause He was, is, and will always be The Great Michael Jackson, he’ll always be in our hearts (and ears). Please, pray for him, and his family.
PS: Farrah Fawcett was a great star too, so dont forget to pray for her too. -

Heaven will rock 2night with Elvis & MJ both up their now. He was Greatest pop legend of all time RIP . You will b missed by the masses good night and god bless. I grew up listening to michael Jackson following his life through the bad and the great time’s .He was the best entertainer of our time no matter how exentric i think it added to his like ability; People tryed to bring him down but they could not. He was a legend Who has left a lasting legacy. Who put his life on the line to bring his music and sparkle back to his fan’s but unfortunetly seem’s to have led to his dimise. My thought,s and prayer’s go out to his family . RIP

Micheal Was And Still Will Be A Huge Part Of This World. His Music Inspired Millions Around The Globe, And Was The Beginning Of Pop Music. From Princess Diana To Micheal Jackson They Both Had One Goal In Life To Make The World A Better Place. They Did That For Us. Thank You Micheal And May Your Spirit Rest In Peace And Look Over Us.
R.I.P Micheal Joseph Jackson

I’m very shocked when I heard that he is dead. I can’t belive this.
He was a pop star legend that inspired many artistes and people around the world. I like his music like my favorites songs are Thriller, Billy Jean and an another one that I forget the name. But still, I think that he was a good singer and had inspired everyone for years.
RIP Michael Jackson! Love you -
I still can’t believe he’s gone…he was the greatest entertainer this world has ever seen. I was like 6 when the Thriller album came out, and I’ve been a fan almost all my life. It was a sad day yesterday. I was driving home from work when I heard the news and I started crying right in my car…I couldn’t believe it. I loved Michael Jackson and I loved his music…he’ll never be forgotten and his music will live on forever. RIP Michael, your finally at peace

Holy.. it still wont sink in, and really, I don’t want it to. He was obviously a huge inspiration to many, and his fans really did, and still do love him. Though it’s sad that he’s gone, he achieved in his 50 years what most people couldn’t achieve in 100. It would have been really nice to see him make a come back… he sure had the following to do so! I will always remember him, as will my family. Like his song says.. “Gone Too Soon”.
We love you, Michael. R.I.P.

I didn’t exactly know Michael Jackson so much, I didnt grow up listening to his music. But my mom did. She was hurt, shocked, and surprised when I told her the news. Unlike me she did grow up listening to his music. even with all those rumors out there, your still the best.
I hope you Rest in peace.

MJ… What can you say abut him. He’s the King. My phone and MP3 player are all filled with his songs long before he passed. Now you can sing to the whole world. Wear your wings proud!

whats with all this rude remarks/comments on Twitter/Myspace/Facebook/Youtube.. Etc ? All those dumb social networks -.-” & everywhere i turn people are making JOKES about him being a child molester .. and making these dumb comments about his nose . First of All ; how can you even make jokes about someone who just died ? thats just really COLD and ignorant .. Secondly ; how can you , pass judgement on somebody you haven’t even met ? People turn to the Celebrities and they ask “hes a bad person, shes a bad person. he did this , she did that ..” but you know .. the Reality is that you have NO IDEA what that person ` s like .. nor do you have any TRUE idea of what they ` ve done in their lives . you dont know whats true .. from not true . you know what the media , has brain washed you to believe .. you know what the media allows you to procieve .. you know ? but you seriously just dont know the truth . sorry , i just worry about society .. because everyday i log into youtube/facebook/myspace etc . blahblahblah.. and read the hateful comments that people get and i just look at the hate in the world and whenever people make rude comments towards somebody thats just passed away .. thats just when i really WORRY about the world .i just wanna say RIP– Michael Jackson . my prayers go out to you and your family
i wish you the best of luck for the harassment that your going to be dealing with . because everywhere you go , you’ll see people being ignorant . i personally just feel bad for people who are that short minded and people that are that ignorant . To First Of All ; make rude remarks about the dead . And Secondly ; He Died .. “OH, HE HAS A WEIRD NOSE.” look at yourself .. your much worse off then he is . just , seriously guys .. think before you speak .*AND FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ‘WORSHIPPING’ THAT HES GONE :”
“woohoo, the pedofile’s gone , yay ! party”
i think that nobody deserves that like .. are you for real ? do you not know what their going threw ? like , respect people .. especially when they die ..
noone deserves to die , and whoever thinks different.. grow up .
alot of stuff was happening in his life , like every other human-being .he WAS going to go and get his life back on track . and then he goes and passes away .
and all you haters do is HATE , HATE , HATE & HATE on him .
if he was still alive , he wouldn’t want that ..
all he ` s ever wanted was to go bring joy and peace into the world ..
Just go search on youtube, search everythig he said (music videos)
there are about bringing peace to the world & just all positive and all you haters do , is bring the negative .if you can honestly tell me that someone dying is a ‘good thing’ then your a miserable person .. i love Michael Jackson .. i know alot of you dont , but .. hes still human and maybe you should be too .
Thanks .

MICHEALS SONGS AND VIDEO’S WILL HAVE A FOND MEMORIE FOR EACH PERSON DIFFERENTLY. MINE OF COURSE WAS THRILLER, MOST AWESOME VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN, REALLY ROCKED MY WORLD. THE BEST SO FAR BAR NONE.
HE WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN OR OUT OF MIND AND SITE.
YOU WILL BE FONDLY REMEMBERED MICHEAL. -
I was at work one day receiving stock when I saw that we got these new fedoras. I put one on and ran out onto the sales floor and did the famous crotch-grab in front of customers and all. Good times.
Thriller is my all-time favourite song to dance to.He is a legend an inspiration to all. He will never be forgotten.
May you rest in peace, Michael Jackson.<3

He was one in a billion or trillion even!!! He pioneered so much I don’t think he left room for anyone to ever be nearly as great as he was, is, and always will be!!!
I guess I was hoping he’d live forever and I’d get to see him in concert at least one more time. I saw him as a very young child and got to go on stage with him but all I have is the memory and the MJ doll, not one picture
He is such a big part of the soundtrack to our lives…I don’t know if I should cry or celebrate his life and the gifts because of it…no one will ever touch me, inspire me, uplift me with words, melodies, and the power that Michael possess!!!“There’s a place in your heart and I know that it is love and this place is much brighter than tomorrow!!!” If it could all just be a nightmare and I wake up to MJ on tour 2009…that would a dream worth having… :’(

I’ve been watching your tribute to Michael Jackson.
I’ve noticed a lot of people have said they’ve been
impacked by Thriller.
For me the album that still shocks me is Off the Wall.
The first three singles Don’t Stop til you Get Enough, Rock with You, and
the title track Off the Wall are three of the best dance songs I’ve ever
heard.
I’m going to miss his music and his videos.
RIP-Michael Jackson. -
I don’t know if it will work, but I wrote something about Michael while watching CNN and learning about his death all day yesterday, so I’m just going to post the link to the piece I wrote on my facebook:

We are deeply saddened to hear of Michael Jacksons sudden passing. He was our idol, the King of Pop and a musical genius. Without Michael, we would never have gotten into music. He is one of a kind and will NEVER be forgotten. Long live the glove, moonwalk and the legend!!!! We love you Michael….R.I.P

awwww i knew this for a few days now but still it’s hard to believe!! He is a legend and i will never forget him! i never thought he was bad or anything i didn’t care what her looked like all i cared about was his talent and him not just his appearance <3 to bad i never got to see him in real life <3
-
OMG! I couldn’t belive the news when found out at my dance rehersals that MICHAEL JACKSON was dead
my heart skipped a beat and my mouth dropped to the floor. I never really loved Michael but never hated him. He was a GREAT performer, no one can deny that and the music that he has made will be an inspiration to us for the rest of…well our lives, and the generations to come. Personally mt favourite song was Man in the Mirror, it shows us that we all have to make a difference in the world, but to do that we have to start with ourself to make others belive what we have to say. I feel so bad for his children, give my simpathy and hope that they will be taken care of. I know it’s a hard time and you probably don’t want everyone saying that to you…it only makes the process of getting over him harder but we’re all here for you you’re not allown. I hope you know how lucky you are, you had an awesome dad, and unlike other people you have all of his music to look back at to remember him…not many people have that.So We’ll miss you MJ!!!
-
He’ll never be forgotten, Let the King of Pop rest in peace. He’ll always live on in our hearts and a hero to the generations to come
-
RIP Michael!!!!!
We Miss You Already.
Thus we loose another of the worlds greatest entertainers.
Your a Thriller! Rock the Heavens!! You are the Legendxxxx RIP WE LOVE YOU!!!

MJ is in a better place now, free from press.
It’s a shame that he never had any closure though.
People never gave him enough credit.Rest In Peace, Michael !
-
WOW is dead I don’t ave a word he was so a good singner OMG his dancing was just crazy
-
It is a shame that we had to lose the “King of Pop” at such an early age. He is, was, and always shall be the Elvis Presley of our Generation. Hw will missed greatley!
As well, Let us not forget Farah Fawcett AND Ed MacMahon. they will be greatley Missed as well!
-
I must addmit I wasn`t his number one fan . Infact he kinda creeped me out . But I can`t deny the fact that he changed the world & is truley an insperation to everyone . “The King of Pop” no one can fill thoughs shoes in the future . Rest in Paraise MJ . <3 =)

Its been TWO days and I still cant believe MJ has passed away. I feel like a part of my childhood has died too. Despite those people who tried to bring him down he is and will ALWAYS be a LEGEND, KING OF POP and BEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME!!!! He never had a childhood and as he became older, the child in him remained. People viewed this part of him as “weird” but you can NEVER judge a man till you’ve walked in his shoes. I love Michael, I grew up on his songs and videos…simply AMAZING!!!! He is the first and probably the only superstar I will shed tears for. God gave the world one of the greatest blessings when Michael was born but he also knew how much he was suffering and decided to ease his pain and make him an ANGEL!!! R.I.P Michael, you will never be forgotten but forever be missed.
-
wow, when i heard the news , i was still in shock, coincidentally i was listen to one of his songs the day before it died and i thought what a great singer and it was just so hard to belive he was dead the next day,but no matter what his legacy will always live on the great king of pop will never be forgoten , we love you mj and you will never me forgotten …rip
-
i am deeply sad about mj dying.
he will live forever through his songs.rest in peace, michael.
-
I find it appaling that people only started really re-liking him when he died , it’s a shame to realize your really loved when your DEAD . Michael was no petifile and you people only notice that now !?! he gave love to the un-loved children , the only people who understood him were children .
michael was a genius and we all know it , haters and all , no one could dance like him , heck , sarah taylor even said she wanted to be him .
what if michael really didn’t go into an anti aging chamber ? what if he really did have a disease that made his skin white ? thats the only thing we can say now . what if .
he’s dead , mabey his death wasn’t an accident ? assisted suicide mabey ? if so , I wouldn’t blame him.everyone will remember the king of pop , Everyone . hopefully his songs will out-live us all , we all know his awesome sauce dance moves will . just think , mabey in 200 years they will be doing the moon walk . on the moon .
I as a young person , was only alive to see 13 years of his life and heck . i love him too ! … not that way though … he’s amazing . yeah you heard me , I’m 13 and I can stick up for him . power to the little people
or atleast , he was amazing .
LIVE ON M.J <3
bye .

In my 50th years of life, among all type of famous peoples death, Michael Jackson’s death is the second biggest shock and sadened death of my life, after Princess Diana’s death. Michael Jackson and his music talent was the light of the world, and now the world is a darker place without him. A very big light has turned off, and something is missing out of this world, which is Michael Jackson and his musical talent. The world won’t be the same without him. No one can ever replace Michael Jackson. When I heard of his death the shock of it made my whole body feel cold and shaky. It was hard to believe. He will remain in my heart & thoughts for ever until my last breath, and will never be forgotten.
May God Bless his soul, and may him rest in peace until the lords day and glory. R.I.P Mihael Jackson <3 we’ll miss you. -
So many very saddened by Michael Jackson’s passing. What a beautiful & wonderful person he was. Tragic!! Michael was so close to doing again what he loves best; dancing, rockin’ to the beat & singing for everyone that he loved so much. Not sure if we’ll ever know what he really wanted but we all love him no matter what.
The question is what are we going to do to honor him??
Peace & love
My Prayers are with all that love him; Michael’s close family & children especially.
-
I was in total shock to hear about his death. It was totally unexpected. I still can’t believe he’s gone. Crazy!
It’s just a bit weird listening to his music now.
We’ve lost a great person, not matter what the tabloids say. He did a lot of great things. His music was awesome.
Michael Jackson will be greatly missed.RIP Michael Jackson
-
R.I.P Michael Jackson you will always be remembered for all the great and wonderful things you’ve doneee
-
…I was totally shocked when my sister phoned me @ work to tell me that MJ passed away! I still can’t believe it!
I agree with the world in saying he was ahead of his time in the art of music, dance, & fasion. I have so many good childhood & teenie bopper memories that are linked to his music as I’ve been a fan since I was 8 yrs old; wow that’s 22 years of awesome music!! I will continue to be a fan of his as the rest of my generation. I pray that Michael has finally found peace after completing his mission on this planet & that his children & family will see that his devoted fans have been & always will be there!
