I have so much love for Michael,may he rest in peace,and please leave him along.
It’s about time. Are the jackson’s going to charge admission? Now that he is gone they can have all his money. No wonder they didn’t do anything to help him get off drugs.
Thats sad that Michael Jackson.The king of pop isnt Alive Anymore.All the fans miss him.Also his mother Katherine/his three kids Paris/her two brothers.
Does this mean that the family will now bury all of their thoughts of finding ways to profit from Michael?
People don’t change just because the cash cow has died. They just become more inspired!
God bless Michael and his family…This is a dufficult and sad time for the family and his fans and it is too sad that those who didn’t support him as we did, do, make such hurtful and disrespectful comments as they do. Stop judging….Michael is in Heaven….He lived his life to live there eternally. Do the same.
May God bless the Jackson familey at the time of their needs
Yes, God bless them in their time of FINANCIAL need — We should all be so blessed!
Im glad he finally has a place to rest in peace. I do wish the media would give his family the privacy the deserve. Also all the negativity is unnecessary. He was a great man, father, and entertainer. I will always love mj!
If the family came late because Katherine could not come into terms with not seeing MJ anymore or any reason, it is understandable. I am not able to accept his death so I understand MJ’s family. MJ is such a lovely touching person, a blanket to his family and many souls in the world. How does anyone expect his family to behave normal at his death? Please for once, play rational. Stop negative judgement. Family, May God give you strenghth to go through this difficult phase. MJ I love you forever!
I don’t believe the delay was on account of that reason. It was to drag this out – it was for drama – and it was the most outrageous thing I’ve ever seen. If there were some logical reason (traffic problems, an accident etc.) anyone could understand but I have NEVER heard of people starting a funeral over 90 mins. late and then making up this crazy reason.
Oh please. The guy died 2 months ago and his family’s just getting around to burying him now? They dragged this out as long as possible just to get publicity and try to work more deals for themselves. Pathetic losers.
Reg, I agree. Why take so long to bury him? Why was some family holding out for Neverland when Michael said he never wanted to go back there? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Why start a funeral almost 2 hrs. late? Drama and hype. They claim to want it private but do everything they can to make a big production.
im actually glad the estate stood for the cost. It feels like, me as a admirer of his , and millions of fans out there who have every single work he realesed, stod for his funeral, and thats the least we could do for him, as our mentor, our role model .. our hero. The man who inspired us and kept us away from prejudice, rascism, any negativity in this world. Im probably gonna break down and cry everytime I think about the fact that he will never sing another song on this earth..
Who else should pay for his burial except for him and his estate? I don’t get what your point is. YOu “stod for his funeral…” What the hell does that mean?
oh my God’ finally mj will rest in perfect peace now. i hope the media will leave him alone and his family.i love u mj
For anyone who has ever lost a family member to death will sure understand what the Jackson family is going through. They are human beings just like all of you. Michael was human too. Whatever decision the Jackson Family made about their son/brother/father/uncle’s burial is nobody’s business. The TRUE MJ fans will understand and just be glad to know he was laid to rest in dignity he deserved. It is so painful to see the world full of immoral, simple minded, immatured people like the critics of MJ. No wonder the world is confronted with situations like Afghanistan,Iraq, Palestine,Georgia,etc.Death is a regular visitor to all families.It doesn’t give notice nor knock at your door. it just burst open,take and leave.And it is not even ashamed to take more than one at once. will you still think the way you think if it comes into your family now? I doubt.you better be prepared because your day is coming.The world is bleeding from man’s dirty mind.MJ lived to remind people through his songs, humanitarian work and humbleness to heal the world and make it a better place for human race. what did you do? what message have you sent to the world? what are you leaving behind if you were to die now? Could you negative people please stop filling the world with bitterness and instead heal it? As for me I benefitted from all the encouraging messages of MJ songs for over 30 years.May God bless the Jackson family and their friends, MJ’s friends and all those who love and supported the family through the challenging time of their lives. as for MRS Jackson, my heart is with you.It can never be easy to bury own child.We all wish as mothers that our kids will grow to old age and bury us when we pass on, not the opposite.MJ kids, God will provide you a guardian angel.God bless MJ fans through out the world.young and old. If we keep his lagacy of goodwill, peace and humanity going,the world could really be a better place. MJ your job on earth is done. It is time to take rescue in God’s everlasting peace.Rest in peace Michael.
MJ Fan — too much information
My thought of the Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson, yes was a icon, legend, brilliant, a talented singer, the best dancer
of our time. He was more to me. Michael Jackson was like a God, no I didn’t say
he was god, I said he was like one. Why do I say this? I say this because people look up to him no matter what the situation is. If it is: movies, music, dances, love,
fatherhood, people look at him and say’’ Michael Jackson is best at this. He to me is
and always will be the best of him. And you critics who talk badly of him, oh
you better’’ Beat it’’, because I will go all the way to make you realize he was a great
man. Just because he is a great man, you don’t have the right to call him names, to
label him, or to group him in categories. Come on we are not in kindergarten. People
have asked me why do I stand up for Michael Jackson. I reply,’’ because we all
have our own problems, and Michael was accused of things before anyone knew him
or got the correct information. He is human, and can only take so much criticism
before explosion. If everyone is looking at Michael Jackson as a criminal, who will
stand up for him and tell how innocent he is even if proven guilty, or how much they
love him. Listen to all of Michael Jackson’s music, look at all of his photos, listen to the messages he is giving us. I think it is time to follow these messages. Look at
thriller, man in the mirror, black or white, and let’s stop being the Americans we are
and quit criticizing each other, stop the racism, stop the wars. Let us come together as
it was in the olden days, no not the gun fight times, but the time where a person of all
race, all ethnic groups, gay or straight, fat or not can walk past a grocery store and not
be looked at as if you might rob them, but to be invited in just to hang out with each
other. I am tired and upset with all human race, yes Michael may have died of an
overdose, but it is all of the stress, all of the criticism we said about him. Yes, we hurt
him, and we did cause this. Now we can’t look at him dance on the stage with his
gorgeous face of an angel, and watch him enjoy himself pleasing us. It is time for us to
come together and finish Michael’s dream to clean up the world, donate to charities,
not only donate money, but time, love, honesty, trust, and just help others. It is time
to stop thinking me, you but to think of others. I appreciate the hard work and effort
people take out of their time to make the world a better place to live. I believe besides
Martin Luther, Michael Jackson is the reason we are as close as we are today, no
need to stop, let’s keep getting closer to where we are full of love, not hate. Michael Jackson is My brother by God, and I love him.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson, sorry for your loss Jackson family, friends, and Michael’s fans.
Love Sincerely, a fan.
