I love you Michael!!!

To Mr. Jonathan Pitts-Wiley,

That was an amazing summary! And as a fan who feels like he lost someone close, I appreciate you open whatever eyes hadn’t been opened to the severe life style he lead and therefore should not be judged as an average person.

Wow…I’ve been saying this for such a LONG time and it feels good to know I’m not the only one left in the world with common sense!!!!

I admire Michael Jackson tremendously for his impact not just on music, and the world, but honestly, on LIFE itself (ANYbody whose death affects THAT many lives around the world, has impacted life).

I am not the type that feels because someone is a celebrity and I like their work, that makes them incapable of committing heinous acts. That’s ignorant. With that being said, I know I wasn’t there and I could never know for sure, but I truly don’t believe that he ever molested those kids. Reason being:

1. Most child molesters were molested themselves as a child, something that has never even been INSINUATED to have happened to Michael.
2. Michael has shared his home and spent time with TENS OF THOUSANDS of children throughout the world in his lifetime. But he has only been charged with molestation twice. Pedophilia is a sickness, much like crack addiction, meaning pedophiles cannot spend time with children or they WILL molest them (crackheads can’t hang around crack and not smoke it). For me to believe that Michael molested these children, I would have to believe he molested many if not most of the children he came in contact with. If that was the case, people would be coming out of the woodworks with MJ molestation accusations. Why did that not happen???
3. I agree with this article’s writer. I think Michael Jackson is the poster child for “arrested development” (google it). He had a good 5 years of childhood, and then was just thrown into a stardom that he wasn’t ready for. Children envied him because of his talent, while ironically, he envied them because they could go to school, play outside with their friends, etc. like NORMAL kids. I believe the construction of his home, bomb ass sleepovers, playfulness with children, etc. was his way of trying to recapture what he never got a chance to experience. He grew up in an era (early 60s) where it was not “gay” or suspect to sleep in the bed with your friends when you had a sleepover. I myself remember holding hands with my best friend in kindergarten, because that’s how we expressed that we were best friends. I think he was just traumatized about his lack of childhood, and never healed from the wounds, hence trying to relive his would-be “glory” years in his adult life (like MOST people who haven’t gotten over their past do)…it just happened to be that opportunistic people saw an opening for an attack, and went for it. Because of his notoriety, fortune, plastic surgery, skin color changes, reputation for entertaining children, etc. I believe he was an easy target and the media ate him up.

I could go on, but I’ll stop there. I’ve made my point.

~ Rest In Peace Michael Jackson…may you finally find the peace this world never granted you ~

michael i love you may your soul rest in perfect peace. REMEMBER no last forever if somebody killed you,he never go free.R.I.P

I will miss Mr. Jackson and his greatness. My point of frustration is lashing out at the the people who lied, taught their children to misrepresent the truth for financial gain (they will reap what they have sown. Receiving a large sum of money because they are lazy and could not dream of earning money and had to resort to eplotation and teaching their child)ren) to lie for financial gain. Now that we have lost Mr. Jackson, what will these predators do now?

We have lost, a great caring person youthful because he was taught to make money for the family and did it because he was taught to show his talents.

The sensationalism of the media helped encouraged those predators doe ratings only and Mr. Jackson was used as a marketing sensation.

Rest in Peace knowing the media or greedy predators can no longer use or extort money from you for financial gain.

R.I.P. Mr Michael J. Jackson, you will be truly missed!!!

today is one week since u left this sinful world jackson….i can hardly belive it is true.to show how much u mean to all of us…..the past seven days,the topic all over the world is jackson……u are a true legend.to me jackson u where neither black or white..but u where an angel on this planet earth…and i belive u have gone back to where u belong…HOME OF THE ANGELS…….rest in peace my dear brother

That was well said!!! RIP MJ

thanks lulos……i still cant belive it…but i am happy becos he is restin in peace now

It’s funny all these people now are embracing Michael Jackson. Every time I would play his music in my car a whole lot of people would clown me calling me corney because I don’t play garbage like souja boy or gucci main. At least I can truely say I didn’t jump on the band wagon, The very first song I remember listening to was Billie Jean with my dad when I was 4 years old. RIP Michael Jackson Truely missed.

michael to me was someone who i can fel thats why it never matteredto me how his changed happened on the outside i still loved him and recognized him as michael. michael is a magic and a messenger and healer…if you can now payattention to what he was saying why he is and was so important ….michael was telling us awaken and transform to a higher way of thinking so that you can live with freedom once we shed racism, hate and judgement.
he is a voice of truth. his physical will no longer be here but we still have the gift of his spirit through his voice and works! i love you m.j and i have since i was only 3 yrs 0ld …the year i fell in love was 1975!
REST NOW ANGEL….YOU WORKED HARD ENOUGH THANK YOU!

he was a sick f**k and all you mj fans(AND I AINT ONE)know he was a deranged an demented muthaf**ker who prayed on little boys when he had you believeing he loved them.stop blameing his daddy and blame him,his daddy did what black mommas what black daddys to do,which is lite a fire under their little asses.look at this way mike and the rest of the jaskson clan could still in gary in,an outta work steel worker or better yet pimping janet and latoya(WHOS ALSO A SICK F**K).so stop ur whinning and play ur mj albums and wait for r kellys sick ass to come back into the news,i saw him over at the playground with a bag of nowlaters and some snickers candy bars with drool runnin down his face.

Well said. My coworker and I had this same discussion yesterday. I agree that Michael trapped himself in childhood. I believe he stunted his own maturity and did not progress beyond the mentality of child. The writer of this article hit the nail on the head. In other words: Child stars rarely grown up unscaved from growing up in the limelight. Anyways…I loved Michael and always will. RIP Michael

MICHAEL j IS A CLASSIC CHILD STAR. hE OBVIOUSLY WAS AFFECTED, AND DISTURBED FROM NOT EXPERIENCING CHILD HOOD NORMALY. I’M SORRY HE FELT DENIED OF HIS CHILD HOOD FOR DEDICATING HIS LIFE TO MAKING GOOD MUSIC FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. tHIS MAN HAS TONS OF FANS, AND GOOD MUSIC. I WILL ALWAYS APPRECIATE HIS MUSIC AND ALWAYS HAVE. I NEVER DOUBTED HIM WHEN IT CAME TO THE MOLLESTATION CASE. I HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH HIM , BUT I STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC AND DON’T BELEIVE HE DID ANYTHING WITH THOSE KIDS EXCEPT SLEEP IN THE SAME BED WITH HIM. nOT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO MOLLEST THEM, BUT BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM, AND DID NOT ENJOY HIS OWN CHILD HOOD. IN THIS CULTURE EVERYONES MIND IS IN THE GUTTER, AND PEOPLE EXPECT THE WORSE. i DON’T BLAME mj’S FATHER TOO MUCH EITHER CAUSE HE WAS PROBABLY DOING THE BEST HE COULD. i DEFFINATELY DON’T BLAME MJ’S MOTHER WHO mICHAEL DESCRIBED AS A PERFECT MIOTHER AND WOMAN. SO SOMETIMES THE BLAME GAME DOES NOT APPLY.

sorry but his time was WAY IN THE PAST!!!
i lost any semblance of sympathy or common decency for the guy who was so far up the river nile (denial) that reality was bound to catch him some day and it was called DEATH!
michael couldnt outrun death, nobody can!
by isolating himself from true authority figures in his life, he learned that MONEY was his only friend and answer!
money allowed him to multilate himself, buy unnessary things to the point of debt and to buy himself WHITE KIDS TOO??!!!
….WTF!!!!?????
SHM DAMN SHAME WASTE OF TIME!!!

“MICHAEL j IS A CLASSIC CHILD STAR”

So is miley, chris b, rihanna, and many others, but we scold them with an iron tongue and treat them as they are adults…when you’re a child star, you miss out on most of the upbringing that is necessary to develop into an adult and therefore grow up into a child-like adult…rather, “childish” adult. But, we don’t care – we want our new cuts to download to our ipod/zune/mp3-player-x…you get the drift.

…and we might as well add lil wayne to that list too.

MICHAEL WAS A VICTIM OF HIS OWN SUCCESS,BEING UNABLE TO SEPERATE MICHAEL JACKSON THE ICON AND POP STAR FROM MICHAEL JACKSON THE EVERY DAY MAN.

Pic 86 sunshades fly as hell.

It was Joe Jackson’s responsibility for MJ… “Rest His Soul”…for his well being, education, and health (Mental Health) growing up…MJ wasn’t allowed to grow up from a child to an adult so he remained childlike “psychologically” until the day he died..YOU KNOW OUR BLACK MEN NEED AND STILL DO NEED Healthy relationships with their fathers…this didn’t happen for MJ…..So.. we need to appreciate his gift..God gave us (his fans) this gift and now his body is gone from us but his voice and memory is in our hearts (those that truly loved him) RIP Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson!!!!

i love 71 and 84..hell yeah!!!

Michael out smarted white people and I think they had a hand in his death. He was truly the greatest entertainer of all time.

I think the writer misunderstands genius. Mike wasn’t a classic child star at all. He was an great artist and genius. He had a view and understanding of the world that few of us will ever see. He was touched by GOD (anointed) to touch people (heal and inspire) with his gifts. It’s our task to see him with open minds. To hear and grow from what he tried to say in his music.

Kenny, stop talkin s**t about MJ. You know damn well you were doing the Thriller dance in your living room. Damn hypocrites I swear.

I like photo 99…Michael to the realest! Michael I love your music/vocals….not all about how he looks because his looks got worse and I think the world agrees and we still loved him regardless!

I LIKE PHOTO #49 HE LOOKED SO HAPPY…

There will never be anyone to bless us with the talent and be a part of us like Michael did!

he should have stopped messing with his face at photo 13…

it looks like he has on a mask in photo 20.. poor guy he let society tell him he was not beautiful..

I’m so tired of hearing excuses as to why Miachael Jackson felt he needed to change his skin color and facial structure. Everybody gets teased. Everybody has gone through an awkward phaze. Everybody has had acne. If shabba Ranks, Whoopi Goldberg, Tracey Chapman, Missy Elliot, Fantasia, and countless other black celebs, whom most people consider ugly because of their dark skin and overly afroscentric features, do not go to the extreme, then he did not have to either. years later, with only a ghost of a nose and a face so botched that he had to hide it behind a surgery mask, millions of people still loved him and awaited his next album, and it was becuase people couldnt have given two s**ts how cute he was as long as he could dance and made us want to dance, or f**k, or cry through his music, which he did!!! I just hope that he and Lil kim will serve as examples to millions of black kids who look in the mirror and wish that they could change things about their images. I hope they google pictures of michael and Kim before the operations and see how beautiful they were and how scary they became after the surgery and change their minds.

Photo #26 it was “Billy Jean” that Launch his solo career. The “Thriller video/short movie” just enhance his solo career and gave him the strength he need to be where he ended today; The King, A Icon, A Legend. Thanks Mike for alot of memories

@ pic 97, I remember I was a little kid and I must have been fast or something cuz my heart used to skip a beat & I’d get butterflies everytime I saw that pic or Thriller……..I told my mom that I was gonna marry Michael…….He had some AMAZIN skin………I just wanted to touch it soooooooo bad!!!!!!!!!! boy o’ boy, if he’d ONLY KNEW how FINE he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F*ck all that…how is Janet Jackson doing? How is she taking all this, i haven;t heard anything about her and i know they were the closest outta the siblings!!

Michael Jackson wanted to be white so bad, he really f*cked himself up with all that plastic surgery and sh*t! He stayed covered up because he didn’t want a tan, the sun would tan his skin and he did’nt want it to be dark again.

mike,was a great man no mater what his mistakes are…we all have our bad side and the plastic surgery was his..he will always be in my heart coz have loved him since childhood.

WHOEVER WROTE THIS ABOUT MJ. CAN GO RIGHT STRAIGHT TO HELL. u just made b/c ur not an icon or a legend. you need to respect this man and, let him r.i.p. IF U DON’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON’T SAY S**T. U P***K!

lmao@ yall comments. yall silly….anyways… RIP MJ. Forever missed.

LOL Damn That one person went hard on Mike and LMAO about R. Kelly but it aint right to judge people especially since none of us are perfecdt they are just people and people do weird s**t Michael said it best in his Song Human Namture, so alot of s**t people do cant be explained if disagree with someones actions just pray for them to change and keep it movin there is no benefit in passing judgment on them because that could easily be someone u no and love so just think about your words and choose them wisely.

Oh, Michael. Why couldn’t you love and accept yourself the way that your fans loved and accepted you? There was nothing wrong with you as a black man. You would have grown into a nice-looking black man if you would have just let things be. We still would have loved you, accepted you, and would have thought you to be the king in Music that you came to be. Michael needed some help and I think it’s said that those in his circle exploited his lack of self-esteem instead of trying to help him (and that includes his family). This man basically was a victim of his own self loathing and self-mutilation and no one did anything to stop it. It’s just sad. Well no matter what, his music will be legendary. He will be legendary — regardless of his internal issues.

OMG ITS SO F**KEN SAD DAT MICHAEL JACKSON IS GONE.I WAS SHOCKED LIKE A MUTHERF**KER,BUT BLESS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.IM SORRY FOR THE LOST AND R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON.I LOVE YOU

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS going to say something negative about people, no matter how good they are. They would say something bad about Mother Theresa! I’ve heard people call Obama’s mother white trash and his father some black nigga from a hut! They accuse him of being an antichrist for his views and he’s the President of the the United States.. They talk about Mike, like a dog because they get off bringing other public figures down. Just evil minded souls.
Anyways, no matter how Micheal looked he was a global music icon, period!! His record sales were off the hook! He was a GREAT performer!! I think he needed some constant counseling especially about his childhood and self-esteem. I use to be extremely shy myself as a kid..and some people get over it and others don’t. Anyways, Rest in Peace Micheal J. I hope you find eternal peace and everlasting love. May the Heavenly Father be the Father to fill your void of Fatherly Love!

Michael was who he was because he did what most of us do…he put his faith in people and not in GOD. He gave his father the power over his life.GOD is the spirit we are born into but at a very young age and unfortunately through our parents….we stop beleiving .Look into the faces of our black children,into their eyes and you can see the pain and unhappiness ingrained in their spirit.Life is not about money it is our journey of forgiveness and learning how to truly love ourselves and share that love with others.

EVERYBODY JUST DO ME A FAVOR…DO NOT SUPPORT STUPIDITY! JUST GO INTO A ROOM, BUILDING, TUNNEL ETC…PUT ON UR FAVORITE MICHAEL SONG (IF U ONLY HAV ONE) AND DANCE YA AZZ OFF UNTIL U PASS OUT! THATS HOW WE SHOULD REMMEBER THIS GREAT BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

No Human Alive is ever gonna to be able to fathom what it was like for MJ. And I think that commenting on something that only he has experienced in his life is wrong. The biggest truth of the matter is, we lost not only the greatest entertainer the world has ever know. But one of the greatest men the world has know. not one celebrity (black or other wise) did the amount of charity work mj did. (another world record in the amount of 300 million in his lifetime). I believe that our society and his father is responsible for the torment this man felt in his lifetime. Just like us to build someone up just to turn around and tear them right back down again. Michael Jackson deserved a lot more from our planet because he didn’t just talk about healing and change, he actually tried to do something about it. Think

Like Michael once said: “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.” What matters is the legacy and the name we make for ourselves in life so that God (who is a real entity and not something just within us), can judge us appropriately. Humans have no idea what we are doing. History proves that. That’s why ONLY God and not others can read whats in our hearts and why we do the things we do. I think Michael kept a lot tp himself because people judged him without knowing what he was really about. He was judged even when he didn’t speak in public. Sad. I do not believe in idol worship, for the Bible scriptures condemn that. However, I do respect the body of work Michael was able to give the world.

i really feel bad for the way ppl treated him and has been treating him even now!!! i dont get it wat he did so bad to make ppl wanted to make his life like hell!! so wat if he did something wrong coz he was jus a human and we all got bad sides and good sides. we are between good and bad. noone is perfect. as a superstar u have no idea how much stress the media gave to him and ruined his life, i wanted to know if he ever been happy or he gotta put up s**t all his life from ppl around him.

i ve read time magazine that has mj on cover and one small article mj said about himself
” i used always cried for loniness”

damm!!!
i love u mj

you know..despite all of the rumors and controversies that he may or may have not done, his legacy..his music..his passion outweighs all of that. he is truly the greatest of all. And because of that, I could careless what anyone says. Remember those for their greatest memories not their worse. May you finally rest in peace MJ.

I’M GOING TO SAY THIS TO ANY AND EVERYONE THAT’LL READ IT!! THE LIES THOSE CHILDREN TOLD ABOUT MICHEAL,WERE THEIR PARENTS DOING JUST TO GET HIS MONEY.. HE NEVER ONCE PUT HIS HANDS ON ANY OF THOSE CHILDREN.
MICHEAL’S LIFE WAS ONE OF A KIND FROM THE DAY HE WAS BORN AND WHEN HE WAS DISCOVERED,
THAT WAS HIS SKY ROCKETING FLIGHT TO TAKE OFF AND KEEP GOING!! OH!! HE TOOK OFF AND PRODUCED MORE HITS THAN ANY ARTIST THAT EVER LIVED. YES!! WE SHOULD LOVE MICHEAL,YES WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO PLAY HIS MUSIC,BECAUSE WITH THE KIND OF SOUL AND HEART MICHEAL HAD, HE WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF THIS WORLD FOREVER!!

Michael Jackson

Breaking the Barrier and Defeating the Double Standard

Elvis was “The King”
But his wife was 14
And they called Mike a pedophile
Who are they kidding now?

If the King of Pop was strange
Then “The King of Rock” was insane
He ate himself to death
Smoking dope to ease the pain

Then they went and made him an idol
But he didn’t deserve the title
Stayed hidden in his house for days
Because he didn’t deserve the praise

He stole everything he had
Should have been just a fad
Some say he was pretty good
But “Mike” showed them who was BAD

He broke down racial barriers
The King of Pop was a pioneer you see
Michael Jackson was the first black artist
To desegregate a racist MTV

He was a chart topper making hit after hit
Dazzling us with his musical genius time after time
He stepped on stage and changed the world
Singing and dancing his way into your heart and mine

No other artist can compare or even come close
To the level of his success and what he achieved
I think I shall never see again in this lifetime
The world grieve for an artist the way he was grieved

He was ridiculed and crucified by the media
And hung in public court before the verdict was ever read
But he never let down the millions of fans he had around the world (including myself)
And for this he’ll live on in our hearts and never be dead

His career spanned over 40 years
He came to us as a gift and even as a child he gave us his all
With beautiful magic and a sparkle in his eyes
He immediately began tearing down racial walls

It’s so hard to let go
“I never can say goodbye”
Michael, they appreciated you more after death
But that’s just “human nature”, WHY?

You had a memorial befit for a king
In death your spirit arose to shine even brighter
And though some still deny your light
You continue to ascend,
So it’s okay, float on Peter Pan, fly away
For your memory shall never end

In life you were humble, at times appearing as innocent as a child
And you never hesitated to give
No matter what they say, Michael, you will always be considered
“The greatest entertainer that ever lived”.
