    Thats very sad… no one could make ‘Thriller’, ‘You are not alone’, ‘Billie jean’, ‘man in the mirror’ and many other remarkable songs. Pop music owes a lot to Muchael… we will miss the moon-walker. RIP, MJ

    He was a pedophile. Good riddance. He should have been rotting in a jail until his death.
    It’s sad when anyone dies… except a pop sensation with unlimited talent who squandered it all away by being a pedophile.
    The sad part is, people will morn the “pop star” and forget the sins.

    At least he’ll be rotting in hell.

    Michael Jackson was in receipt of very confidential info. regarding the slave trade in history in the early 1990′s. A professor from a N.Y. University ( An African-American had released his 1st paper and was about to release his 1st book with original documents validating extensively how it was started) who also previewed this highly controversial evidence to; Michael Jordan; O.J. Simpson; Bill Cosby:Quincy Jones; and MICHAEL JACKSON among others. Quincy Jones and others cautioned to be careful about how this info was released. Michael Jackson said he was not afraid and he would help to agressively promote it. As we now know what happened to the people and families of those who agreed with Jackson ( framed, murdered, slandered, careers ruined, fortunes gutted). What was in these documents from the English and Spanish archives ? It disclosed that 95% of the slave trade was funded and carried out by the Talmudic Jews from the 14th to 17th centuries. This made the Israeli/ Jewish mafias very scared. They went on the attack and Michael was their #1 target. We don’t know how Michael died, but it is not hard for Intel. agencies to cause “cardiac arrest” without a traceable substance. And we do know that the MOSSAD/ADL/JDL international political/criminal network had it in for Michael for some time.

    Be at peace MJ. No more worries and greedy hounds. The world morns a great talent. One of his own making. GONE TOO SOON?! GOD SAW THAT HE WAS TIRED…TOUCHED HIM WITH HIS FINGER AND HE SLEPT. All the accusations in the world cannot take what he has accomplished in his own right. Instead of slandering the man, why not thank GOD that there was such a talent in the world. He reached out to a lot of helpless and needy, and accomplished what no one will ever come close to doing. Let the man die in peace, he has had his share on hell here on earth due to what I think is just pure greed, jealousy, and fear. Question…Did WE kill MJ.? Our selfish beliefs in what one does in life was just not up to OUR standards. So we ridicule, I too believe these accusations were false as a way to bring him down. He was too High Profiled for some and had to bring him down a peg or two. WELL, YOU did. These very people will have to answer for this. If it is true, so will Michael. But who’s to say what the truth is. The truths lies with these very kids who were made to accuse. And we all know we can’t defy our parents. Question now is where are you going to get the money now to help these kids with having to deal later with this mentally, provided these accusations were false and even if they were true, how do you deal with having participated in a manner to help gain a small fortune of some else’s life work. Bet it didn’t last long.(ill gotten gains) I think now they have shyster lawyers for anything these days. I belive you could sue yourself, with a proper lawyer. Man I have gone farther than I had intended, but it’s sad when you life is decided by others. One life has been destroyed and for what? You’ve only succeeded in making him even bigger than he was and I guess we thank you for that. As for being accused of being a pediphile, I look at this way and I’m dead serious, at least they all had a good time and ate well and got to see another day. Better hope a true pediphile don’t pick up where he allegedly left off. Who are you gonna sue then???? Probably wish then MJ was still Moonwalking. Your loss.

    We say also farewell to another icon. Farrah Fawcett. Prayers go out to her family. She to will be missed. I only remember her in the Charlies Angels saga. There were others, but the angels sticks most. A beautifull Lady. RIP.

    Michael Jackson’s life is now a history that will always be remembered. I am not saddened by his death, but am glad that he touched so many lives. I hope he rest in peace and that God bless and protect his family.

    Michael Jackson was chemically/hormonally castrated by medical doctors at his parents request when he was about to go into puberty in order to keep his voice high( like the Vienna Choir Boys were except that they did it surgically in those days).It was a crime what they did to him, but you can imagine what you would be like if that were to happen to you. He never matured as a man, so that is why he still hung out with boys- because he was still one himself. I really don’t believe he would harm anybody and I knew him as well as several freinds. He would be mortified for anyone to know this. But I think it is horrible what gossip I hear. Does one moment in time or one mistake equal the totality of one’s life? Are we now just a Jerry Springer lynch mob that convicts people by opinion or the media? Michael was a great Human Being 1st before he was the world’s greatest performer. I love you Michael, thank you! I miss you.

    Hello rick, yes, I remember that book from the early nineties. What was that professors name? Jefferson I think,from a NY College. Yes, I was working at a bookstore and an ADL guy came in and threatened to shut us down if we kept that book. they were very angry about it. They came in the next day and bought all the books at wholesale and we could never get any more. One of the bookstores was later firebombed. It makes you wonder if Michael was framed.

    i believe micheal jackson will have very large funeral in U.S.A . But His past will destroy his remembrance for every . he created lots a trouble for himself . He will NOT be big as Elvis Presley is right now , because Elvis Presley never when to courts or he never change his body parts or try to change his skin color . The turn out for his funeral for Micheal Jackson is respect of his Music and his dance , The Public does not enjoy or care about his him as a person

  • liz

    let all this shit be done with. the man died, let us mourn for his family and children. the one thing i can’t realize is the way he died, why wasn’t his life special to him. God gave us life, and we should be happy. To take anyone’s life is terrible, life should be so precious to all. Michael, i will miss you, you gave me inspiration, and all your hard work is showing now. Angels watch over you. God sped. liz

Aids fection to get : can’t eat , can sleep , Lots of pain every parts of the body parts , lost of hair , loosen the eye sight slowly , Lots of Sores on the body parts , sores can’t heal , skin color changes . Aid medicine will make you sleep , can’t eat , make you very weak and very tired . I don’t believe any Reports from his Doctors or his Parents ) I believe he killed himself .

    I never had any time for Michael jackson and like many others have been guilty in the past of listening to constant Media slander about him being a paedophile and listened to it.
    But I watched a documentary on him today; just because nothing else good was on TV to be honest.
    I can’t explain in words how ashamed I am about how I judged him before… simply on the say so of some money grabbing kids and their sicko families.
    I am surprised he never took his own life during the peak of those times those disturbed families put him through. Had he sexually assaulted these kids they would not have wanted money they would have wanted justuice; even if they didn’t walk away with a dime. They settled for money and that says alot about them and whether or not it actually happened. It clearly did not.
    There is no question in my mind; having now seen him talking and interacting with people that he was just a sensitive child trapped in an adults body; something his family and their desperation for him to be famous no doubt caused. Their wanting at all costs for him to be famous are to blame for his tragic (in parts) life.

    I wonder if he would have found true happiness if he’d been allowed to be a normal child; or just treated the same as his siblings.

    Rest in Peace Michael… the pain will be over now.

    It clearly did not?
    Both parties lawyer's were afraid that going through with the criminal case would result in a verdict that both could suffer for. Someone has to win and someone has to loose. Both thought the stakes too high. Both wanted to 'go civil' and convinced their clients.

    Jackson surrounded himself by misfits and dysfunctional people. He came from a dysfunctional family and was always, though famous, a misfit. Don't portray him as the 'sane' one in the group. It was like a circus of freaks and the children are the only victims.
