1021. Michael Jackson was unique, creative and an outstanding performer. He changed music and culture. If none of you can see that, then you really don't respect life. He sold over 740 million albums and was entered into te Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, not once but TWICE. He won 13 grammies and had a huge effect on people worldwide. I'm sure none of you know that his dad used to abuse him and beat him when he was a little child which lead to the song "Beat It" being released. He wanted to protect the kids who get beaten from their parents which ultimately lead to the release of "Heal The World".

Michael was accused of sexual abuse. His case got cancelled because they didn't have enough evidence to go against him. Also think about it:
He and the childs parents were worst enemies.
He had absolutely loads of money
The parents wanted to make some money of him.

Now if you all went to school and have common sense you can put these together and work out that the parents only wanted his money and to put someone away that they hate. These are all facts, all of you saying his a Paedofile are sick people. None of you knew Michael Jackson, you only heard the news and rumours on him. So keep your jokes and comments to yourself, and learn to respect people.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson. You had a huge impact on my life and I thank you for that.

1026. I normally wouldn't post anything because I’ve always thought that people could be evil and looking at some of these comments it's still the same. I would like to say to the evil people that post these terrible comments I would like to ask you, If this was your brother , father, uncle or son and the media had torn your life up in pieces would you be affected? No one on this earth is perfect and we all have flaws. None of you were in his home or lived his life so none of you should judge him or his life. You all just read what the media has displayed and they didn't know for sure either. I think that it is very sad that the media care more about the ratings then about a mother, father, sister and brother who loss someone they loved very much. The other sad thing is that these people are arguing as if they were there. If this were their love one, they would say, ”Please respect our privacy but because it doesn’t pertain to them it’s justified and it’s not. I don't know for sure what’s the facts but what I do know was that he was an exceptional and talented person, who gave the world hope to love and embraced people but instead of looking at those positive attributes you all focus on something you really didn't know about. He was here for a reason just as you are here for a reason and the good thing I can say he fulfilled his destiny did you? MJ don't owe you or the media anything. So remember that. STOP THE HATRED CAUSED WE ALL WILL LEAVE HERE AND WHEN YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO TO CHANGE THE WORLD. I love you all and enjoy your day
Peace and Blessing

1027. TMZ...I'm just really curious...how did you get the exclusive, how did you get there so fast to take that shot of Michael Jackson going into the ambulance...who was that person who told you to come and really, what time did you get there? Personally, I think that person who called you to come....because I'm sure someone must have called you...is an important part of this investigation.

1032. all you people who are "hating" on MJ...ya'll are absolutely disgusting. MJ IS A LEGEND. AN ICON. One of the GREATEST musicians of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WAS AMAZING. HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER. Everyone who wrote negative comments, you are all sooo gross and obviously don't have a heart. MJ was found INNOCENT during both trials...clearly those families were after his money. HE WAS A FATHER. A HUMAN BEING.
MJ FOREVER. HE IS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS. HIS SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND HIS FANS WILL MAKE SURE IT DOES.

LONG LIVE THE KING.
