    First let me say I feel sorry for the Jackson family, for loosing anyone close to you is never easy. Now with that being said I can't sit here and lie by saying I feel like I've lost someone close to me or that his death took a little part of me with him as well. I can't say any of this simply because I would be full of crap. I can really say that MJ never was or has been part of my everyday thoughts. At least not after his last courtroom stop. True he made great timeless music but still unless I happened across one of his old songs I can't say I thought twice about him much these past 5-7 yrs. Let alone the fact that I refuse to place any one person on such a pedistal above anyone else. Where all human straight and to the point and we all die thats life. So stop acting like the world is coming to an end simply because a former popstar has past. Long before his life ended his popstar image had already faded and died. Someone famous once said America is a 10 day country, we grieve for 10 days then were over it and move on. I think I skipped that whole 10 day process and just went to moving on and I think we all should do the same, all but his loved ones who have the right to grieve for as long as they feel fit. For the rest of us we have far to many more important things we have to deal with everyday that have and will last far longer than 10 days. I haven't shed a tear and I will not because quite simply I don't really care keep my bills paid and a roof over my head are way more important to me then the death of someone who may or may not have been a child molestor. Oh but that's strange how many people had a bad opinion of him these last few years while he was alive but now they wanna be the same people falling out in the streets crying now that he's dead. Really people just stop already, really.

    All controversy and stupid jokes that weren't funny twenty years ago aside, he influenced the music world on a grand scale from the late 60's on. He influenced me largely to become a musician when I was a kid in the late 80's and for that I thank him.

    We would like to express our sympathy to Michael Joseph Jackson . We pray the family have speedy recovery! We hope in time like these God will bless his family in his absents in body! We all have to check out and check in like Michael have one day. I hope the family will take on the tour Michael set out to do. I hope they would continue his journey on behalf of their brother. It will be a family reunion! It will be in honor of their brother Michael! The whole Jackson family do the tour for Michael and his kids and themselves show strength in numbers. May Michael soul rest in peace and the love of Jesus rest rule and abide in him and his family forever more! God Bless "The Jackson Family," "Farrah Fawcett Family," and Ed McMahon families as each go through their hours of bereavements. Not only them all the lives each one has touched. It is no one has touched our lives like Jesus has already. We must remember our Lord Saviour Jesus of all; in time like these we need our Saviour! Michael has shown lots of love to many families throughout the world and helped lots of people. It is nothing personal about what Michael have done for others. He was loved by many understanding is best in the world! Michael will be missed and life goes on with us all! Michael death is more of a tragic as worlds trade center to me and my wife. It hurts no matter how it is said it love not hate! Michael reached out to World Aids and lots of organiztions this helped him to be a phenom in this world! Not like Jesus was He made his present Michael to many. Michael is love and forever more! Our Faith is in Jesus who sustain us in time like these! Thank you all for your comments! I hope I said somethig that will keep us all looking to the hills from whence cometh our help is from the Lord!
    Sincerely,
    allowedten / Mrs. allowedten

    When I was a little girl, one of my cousins and I used to fight over which one of us loved Michael best....Through all of the changes in his life, many of which we will never truly understand, I will remember a man whose struggle was exceedingly triumphant. In the end, he is free!!!
    We are the ones that are left behind to figure it all out, if we can stop bickering long enough............Loved all of his music....I can't stop humming....Human Nature....PYT....and We are the World......Peace & Much love to the Jackson Family....Michael is at peace.....

    Last June 25, 2009, the world has lost one of the most influential and iconic figures in the music industry. Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance in the afternoon of June 25th, 2009, with symptoms of a heart attack. He passed away soon afterwards. The news of Michael Jackson passing away is troubling, as he was set to begin a comeback and was only 50 years of age. The Jackson family commented soon after he was admitted that he was in bad shape. The King of Pop began his career at a very young age as a member of the Jackson 5, and later had great success as a solo artist, including Thriller – the best selling album of all time - and many thought he'd never need to think of payday lenders again – RIP Michael Jackson. http://personalmoneystore.com/payday-lenders/
