I feel for his children, his mom and the rest of his family. Our deepest condolenses to you all. May your son's soul rest in peace and his spirit live in all the people that he has touched so deeply with his music. He was truly a legend in his own right.

Michael Jackson was the Greatest/Baddest Entertainer that ever lived. I have experienced heaviness as I recorded/listened to reports of how 'lonely" this man was yet he was surrounded by people all the time. It hurt to know that he constantly tried to regain a lost childhood vicariously through children. Instead of trying to criminalize him, why couldn't people see that he was SCREAMING for attention and it was so loud that only the nonjudgmental ears of youth could hear it. Michael Jackson gave so much of himself yet he received so little in return. Did anyone in his entourage ever say, "Thank you ", or "I appreciate you", or even just give him a genuine hug. Did any of them just ask him how his day was and really mean it? He knew his fans "genuinely" cared for him and that's why he wanted to be in their presence to draw energy from us to survive another day in the facade that surrounded him. I pray you now have peace Michael.

As everyone, I too am a fan. What a loss to the human race, yet what a priviledge to have grown up listening to, adoring, crying over, and at times, relating to Mr. Michael Jackson. My prayers are for his family, and his dear children. His music, his talent, and his mark on this side of heaven, will live on forever. I love you, Mr. King of Pop, and will miss you! May we know Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior that we may spend eternity with HIM in glory, for as we see, life here on earth is only for a brief moment.

MICHAEL JACKSON WILL TRULY BE MISSED- I GREW UP WITH HIS MUSIC; AND HIS LEGACY OF MUSIC WILL LIVE ON UNTIL ETERNITY. HE TOUCHED MANY LIVES DURING HIS TENURE HERE ON THIS EARTH AND I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS INDEED A BLESSING TO MANY- MY PRAYER IS THAT HIS CHILDREN WILL DO GREATER WORKS AND BE AN INSPIRATION TO THIS WORLD.

I know that GOD took Michael because it was his time to join him but that didn't stop me from crying and feeling the pain of his loss. I grew up on Michael literally. In the Virgin Islands there were not too many other artists that we heard of from the U.S. I love you Michael. Your music has gotten me through so many hard times. Rest in peace. To his family I pray for GOD to provide you with peace and comfort during this difficult time.
