yuck
Unreal! The media needs to back off and stop so much air play on this. What about Farrah Fawcett or Billy Mays (the annoying infomercial guy you seen everywhere when you turn the channel) and there was only small amounts of coverage on them and they all only died within a short few days apart. I liked Michael Jackson for his music but he wasn't God and that is what everyone is pratically making him out to be. Leave it well enough alone and let him rest in peace...oh and be done with the coverage on it already!!
HHAATTEERRSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, seems that minorities are gaining fame, fortune, and territory; history changes! aaaaaahahahahahahahahaaa!
I personally have liked some of the tributes to MJ. Don't care for the constant rehashing of the same stuff by the cable news nets, so I just flip to another channel. Or... use the ultimate control button: the on/off.
JEFF,
YOUR AN Moron. Michael Jackson was the worlds greatest entertainer and a wonderful humanatarian. The coverage of his death and praise for his life on this planet is well deserved. Yes the world did loose Farrah Fawcett,Billy Mays and Ed McMahon but these celebrities did not leave an impact on the world as did Michael Jackson and this is why people want to know more and get as much information as possible. I take nothing away from the other celebrities who died but do you really think that there is a person living in Egypt or Croatia who knows who Billy Mays is ? I doubt it !!!. The world knew and loved Michael Jackson and that is why you have the coverage on the tragic death of this great entertainer. There will never be another person like him. I know first hand because I have met him several times. I wish you could have because then you may see things a bit differently.
Good luck,
Ron
Please contact me. I want to interview you. We can discuss details by email: markleevan@gmail.com.
Michael Jackson's life symbolizes the realities of stardom, unique talents that are rare, and challenges of balancing the limelight and coping with socalled "associates/friends."
When I read about Michael's life, I can't help thinking about all the people claiming to be an important part of his life and legacies. Think about Spiritual leader Chopra. Chopra has long association with all manner of persons, including rebel leader charles Taylor who committed barbaric human rights violations. With persons like Quincy Jones around, why will Jackson shre his unpublished work with Chopra - for prayers or what?
Michael's contributions and influence immense. His music and contributions and life impacted many - eople from different parts of the world are paying tribute to him? Many people make contributions to society, but few influence and or make a difference in the lives of others.
Michael may not have chosen his friends and associates wisely, that's a lesson for those interested.
Here's something about Michael's death that is mindboggling- his son saw him staggering before falling. The cardiologist said he saw Michael with pulse and heartbeat. Where did the cardiologist saw Michael- where his son saw him when he fall, or on the bed? Next, if cardiologist saw Michael on his bed, why did the cardiologist decide to check his pulse? Did he have reason to do so? And if Michael's son saw him fall, where did he fall. How did he leave from the spot where he fall, (obviously on the floor) to the bed for CPR? And why didn't the cardiologist ask Michael's son to seek help while he carried out CPR, rather than waste 30 minutes before seeking help? Doesn't make sense. Why couldn't the cardilogist use his cell and tell paramedics that he was at Jackson's., or call the organizers who would then tell he, the cardiologist the location, or the organizers would call paramedics?
Michael's death....... more questions and another lesson
As I read these and other post's about the King Of Drugs it makes me wonder how so many people are in denial about the REAL life not the Fantasy that people want to believe. In realty he was a twisted pedophile that got lucky and was able to buy his way out of every problem he created for himself.
MJ was the greatest, an their will never be another. He was a good man who tried to change the world. So what he didn't look "normal"...!! What is normal?? If everyone looked the same the world would be so LAME..!!! People need to realize that whats on the inside is the only thing that matters. I really don't think GOD cares if you have a big nose or skinny nose. Anyways my point is "that looks dont mean much at all". We have to love people for who they are and what the represent, not for how they look.I know your in a better place Michael.
R.I.P. MJ the Great
I WOULD LOVE TO BE BURIED IN A GOLDEN CASKET
To the not a fan-first of all do not be so quick to judge based on what you are hearing and seeing on tv, we all know how the media can of course blow things out of the ordinary...and as far as you not being a fan, so what, join the club there are many out there that did not like "Micheal" but, in the same breath do you really think he cared? (NO) So, do yourself a favor stop feeding on the negative, just keep in mind and ask yourself the question, what will you die from, oh, I guess it really will not matter since we don't know you. So be careful because only one person controls your destiny...BELIEVE IT OR NOT...
A TRUE MJ FAN.....
RON:
THANK YOU, VERY WELL PUT
he is put away as a king should be put away he may not be with us but the king of pop music will still live on we love u mj R.I.P. MJ
man liked to play with little boys now hes in hell ha ha im sure by now youve all heard that his body after the memorial service will be melted down considering the fact its 90 percent plastic and made into legos little boys will have the chance to play with him for a change instead of the other way around
do not judge lest you be judged--sound familiar? the individual who said this is the only person who has the right to judge anyone, and He died so no one would be judged for anything, and if He forgives Michael, who are any of you to say he hasn't been forgiven for anything he ever did?
Think about your own mistakes that you hold secret that others might raise their eyebrows to and let the man rest in peace. God will punish him if he needs it, and He doesn't need your help.
I get that his music was great. I just don't know why, all of a suddon, now that he's dead, he's the "King of Pop" again. 2 weeks ago if someone had mentioned the name Michael Jackson the average person would have laughed and asked what little boy he touched this time. It's sad, but it's true. I think there is entirely too much empathy for someone who's accomplishments in the last 10 years include being charged with molestation on numerous accounts and legal and non-legal drug additction.
Again, his music was great, united a world, alright I get it, but please remember this is also the guy that lived in a his own amusement park to lure children into his lap.
I just think it's foolish to idealize someone like Michael Jackson since he's done so much to tarnish his name.
This world has become a sad place when we give more respect to a "has been" pop singer and ignore the men and women dying every day in afghanistan and iraq. Its just plain digusting!
MICHAEL JACKSON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOU WAS THE GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD. I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW AND ITS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO WRITE THIS MESSAGE. I ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT I ATTENED ALL OF YOUR CONCERT. I BOUGHT THE TICKET FOR YOUR COMEBACK, THEN WHEN I HAD WENT HOME WITH THE TICKET I WAS LISTENING TO MJ MUSIC. THEN MY FRIEND HAD CALLED ME AND SAID MICHAEL JACKSON IS BEING RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AND MIGHT BE DEAD THATS WHEN I WAS OUT OF CONTROL THEN ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAD TO COME AND COMFORT ME. I TRULEY MISS MICHAEL JACKSON AND HE WILL BE IN MY HEART FOREVER !!!!!!!!!????????????? I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSOM
env3 your a fuc5ing nonce , mj was never, so anv3 i hope you and your family die in a very bad car crash
Can't wait till someone diggs up his coffin, turns him over and jams a DILDO in his azz!
I agree with bryun and BigBoy
you are so alsome and we are going to miss you so much....
Unfortunately, your boy Michael Jackson is in HELL because he was not a born again Christian.
You nmust believe in Jesus Christ and be born again to live in Heaven.
lets get sum things straight.1st of all MJ was NOT A CHILD MOLESTER...!!!!!Yes he was was charged with child molestation..bt he was innocent!!! OMG if u cant understand that put a plastic bag over ur face..seriously. If u were charge with stealing and u were found not guilty...would u want people still calling u a thief....????? People just need 2 let it go and accept that Michael Jackson was "NOT A CHILD MOLESTER".And 2nd of all jst because u settle outside of court does not me u r guilty. All the smart super stars settle outside of court..duhh. Do u know how many starts r sued each year....?? no u dnt, becaue they take the smart way out..jst pay and and its done!! Yes he did loved children!! And its allot of people that fell the same toward kids..does that make them a child molester..??? His kindness and generosity was taken avantage of by people who he tried to help. Its outragoues wat people will do jst to get money..!! Even kids wit terminal illness..ridiculous!!
love u MJ R.I.P
I think it's sad that we are all still talking about, arguing about, or just making our own judgments {yes even the Christians who just can't help being the know all end all yet are the least forgiving..} over something that is over with..
i wish you all would just die and stop hatin on him. he couldve got more pussy than any of your fathers and you put together thanks
I think micheal was a very bad example to us all he didnt appreciate the way God made him he had to go put plastic over himselv waht kind of mind did he have im sure he is up there right now begging for forgiveness and asking God to let him in. His family has nothing to do with this it was all his mistake.
micheal was so great that i was one of the luckes one to see him .
TO ALL YALL MUTHA FUKAS MICAHEL JACKSON IS IN DANCIN HAVING FUN HE WAS THE GREATEST STOP HATIN AND CALLING HIM WHAT YO MAMMA REALLY WANTED TO NAME YALL ASS HOLES.
