RIP Michael Jackson, He was an incredible person. He has been my idle for years, it is devastating to hear that he is gone. My condolences to his family and true friends.
Here’s the group for Michael Jackson. We’re going to have an address up soon where people can send cards, etc. We’ll get them to his family.
RIP Michael Jackson Facebook group http://bit.ly/7MMWM
The industry shunned him while alive, and “pays tribute” now that he’s dead.
EW, are you watching the same MTV i am? my MTV feed is showing some dumb show like they always show. No crawl, no NOTHING to commemorate the star who basically made that network what it is. The least they could do is show some videos and break away from their programing. If it wasn’t for MJ, i don’t think MTV would have taken off at all… he’s the one who made videos the artform they were, and have drifted away from today.
MTV is skipping the new shows because of this child molester? Gross
we will miss you “King of Pop”
“ABC….123″
I can’t stop crying – I loved him so much. RIP Michael.
He must of choked on some 12 year old nuts
he must off choked on some 12 year old nuts

RIP Mikey
I grew up with you, MJ. Thank you for ALL that you gave us! Thank you for SOOOO many memories! May you finally find the rest and peace that you so deserve….I will so miss you!!!
my brother loved his songs and now hes gone? whats wrong god should at least give him like 10 more yrs but he was bad to little boys too so…
SHAME ON CNN!! I can’t believe with all the media in attendance. CNN sunk to the level of the Paparazzi when they took their “Exclusive” shot of Michael Jackson dying IN the ambulance. Disgusting. TURN OFF CNN
To all the haters posting the molester comments – shame on you! Not only are you exposing your ignorance, but you’re creating bad karma for yourselves! Someone has died, if you have nothing positive to say, it’s best to say nothing! Let’s hope when you go, others aren’t so tacky and cruel – but from the sounds of you I’m sure they will be (garbage attracts garbage)!
I am a “senior lady” -(66 yrs old) I loved Michael – no matter all his personal problems – he was a talented, gifted artist and I am saddened about his death. The world will miss Michael Jackson’s talent.
what a shame… With his big come back less than a month away… Guess we’ll never know what move would of surpassed the moon walk after all
i’m so sad about michael’s death. It was my favorite singer.
i miss u michael
R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON…..what a great man. I’m still finding it hard to believe that he has gone…my heart goes out to his young children and his family. I’m going to miss him, but he will never be forgotten. What a great LEGEND of our time…..peace MJ….xxx
hey michael you was – are – and you will be the one and the only rock star in this world :- hats off to you.
I took my baby
On a saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we’re one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’re Black Or White”
rest in peace michael..
blessings julie xxxx
I am very sad to hear about Michael…My favourite rock star..and childhood memories
I am very sad…. so many childhood memories!
My father was murdered and so was my brother, yet a man dies of natural causes and the whole world morns. WTF. I hope you all burn in hell.
The whole world grieves for the MAN that is no more.. you will always always be remembered, Michael. There’s no one like you xxxxxx
i am so sad…………
Let not your heart be trouble believe in him……. May God plessed the Jackson family. Today’s one of the saddest moment in my heart ,Because one of his songs like BEAT IT, and Billie Jean has also gotten into the favorite ones for my 1yr. and 3yr. old sons. They love to dance to these songs, it makes my kids laugh and happy when they hear those HITS and will now know even much more on the LEGEND of Michael Jackson. We love you & will miss you!!!!
i feel sorry for people that payed to watch his last performances,dont think anyone saw that comin aha x
Robert, really sorry for your loss but the world doesnt know your brother or your dad….Jackson 5 was the best boy band ever!
I won’t miss him at all. His music is not among my CD’s. As a person he will be remembered with controversy and scandals. Given the quantity of medicals he took during his life it’s not a suprise he died so (relatively) young. It’s a miracle he survived so long.
Michael Jackson, you’ll be dearly missed as King of Pop; the one who set a high benchmark for pop music and what an artist can actually achieve..God bless you and love you
