I know people die all the time but not Micheal Jackson. How could this happen the greatest entertainer that ever lived. I can't believe it. I'm going to need 50 years to convince myself that this beautiful legend is gone. May God help me to deal with this I'm totally devastated.

Michael, I am in total shock that you are gone. I can't believe you are gone. I am typing this with tears in my eyes. The world will never again know a man such as you. You have not only opened doors, you knocked them down. Your talent, grace, and class will never be seen again. We stood in your corner through thick and thin. My prayers are with your family at this devasting time. Thank you Michael for not having half naked women gyrating on stage or on in your videos. Thank you Michael for not singing about taking random girls to hotel rooms in the middle of the night and getting freaky. Thank you Michael for my children being able to listen and watch your videos without me having to monitor the content. Most of all I want to thank you, Micheal for me being able to know and witness the PHENOMENON that was, is and always will be MICHEAL JACKSON!! I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! REST IN PEACE, MOONWALKER!! TEAR UP THE DANCE FLOOR IN HEAVEN!!

I admire Michael as a complete artist, a singer,a composer, a dancer, producer of his video clips and everything else he did to give himself entirely to us through his music. He was himself when he was on stage, he was his whole self when he was on stage, pure genuine energy flowing through his pores, giving himself to his audience, to all of us. The two video clips he filmed in Brazil left his footprints in our soil and in our hearts. Since then many children were named after him with a Brazilian adaptation of his name "Maicon", in honor of this great artist. It's a pity he has left us so early. I feel sorry for him not having had a chance to have a happy life. I'm sure he's teaching Saint Peter how to do the moonwalk now. May he rest in Peace

You will never be forgotten. Your troubles are over. I understand you so well, living the life you had was hard. It wasn`t easy to trust people, you never knew if they liked you for you or who you were and what they could benefit from being around you. So many times i wished i could take you away from it all and protect you from this hard world. I think you knew your faith, you died to young but at the top. I think you were happy at the end, the way you knew how to be happy: You gave everything, you should have though of your self. It wouldn`t matter for those $#!?@ loved you for the right ways. You had given us so much already, we knew and we never though bad of you.I will keep you in my heart for ever, i hope you are in a good place. Rest in peace and feel our love. I`m sending you a big warm hug, hope you catch it my dear. You are one of i kind and the world have lost a great person with the worlds biggest heart!!! See you in heaven Michael. Love always, Monica from Norway.
