Our Last Encounter with Michael Jackson

16. I am 48 years old now and MJ epitomized for people of my generation hope, black beauty, talent, class entertainment, all that was heady and intoxicating and lots more.
I could never judge him harshly! Talent like he possesed is bound to carry extra baggage. For me he would always remain a beatiful soul. A part of me has just died with Michael. My tomorrows will never be the same anymore, knowing that he is no more.
Mourn with me all you who grew up with MJ,

17. May your tortured sad soul finally rest in peace! You will be missed and this world will never know talent as special or dedicated as yours. RIP King of Pop!!!!

18. Sorry folks, being a talented singer and dancer just doesn't make up for the soul-stealing perversions one inflicts upon the innocent. Come on, people, seriously - it's OK for unrelated 30-something men to "sleep" in the same bed as young boys? That's just somehow "normal"? We should show some "request" (chuckle) at his passing? "Request" for what? A gloved hand and a moonwalk? This county is in deep crap, seriously, if people are more enamored of his dancing skills than they are appalled by his *obvious* attraction to young children. I'm sad for his family, for several reasons, not the least of which is that when you're family it's always hard when you lose someone. But what he put them through with his "love" for young children...I'll bet they could have lived easier without that too.

21. Ihave to say that it is werid having someone who was a part of my teen years gone now.... However; fellow Soldiers are dying every week and no-one gives a crap about them! I know why and all, it is just sad. He was a celebrity making millions. he wasn't a doctor savign lives, or a Soldier fighting for freedom.... He was just a guy who could sing and dance (very well of course).... Not huge loss at all. We have his music to live on forever.

get over it and say a prayer for Soldiers and people who are losing their jobs, their homes and really need your thought. Michael's family will be fine too! They didn't give a crap about him when he needed them most. Now they cry! Give me a break.

22. Michael your music caused congestion in concert, congestion on street of residence, congestion on major roads and now your death has caused the second major internet congestion in the world. The first was when Oboma was elected president of the USA

25. I envison a crowd of angels seated on soft, fluffy clouds, just below the the towering figure of our God - all silently gazing in unison at the wonderous figure of Micheal dressed in white...having just shown up, breaking into a glorious dance routine for the wonder-struck gazees. I hear the soft sound of flapping wings and feel their amazement anew, as we here on earth exhibited, at first sighting of our Michel, in his very own realm where he lived out his years. Alas, tragedy nips at the heels of the truly talented here on earth. The chosen ones...sigh....
Fly free Michel Darling, all of heaven is yours now and so much the better for your uniquely talented presence there. As were we all for the knowing of you, sweet child of the universe! Amen.

26. Wow...today is a slow, sad day for me! I feel like a part of me is empty. I have never cried when any other entertainer has passed...even though I have never met Michael I felt very close to him. Michael is by far the World's Greatest Entertainer! My prayers are with the Jackson family. I grew up listening to MJ's music my entire life. Michael has to be the most influential and intriguing person ever! No one has ever come close to having the type of impact on the world the he has! Maybe now...the world can put their selfishness to the side and love one another the way that Michael wanted to see the world. We as individuals, need to take a page out of Michael's book and learn to love, learn to give. Michael was a loving, caring, and giving person. In the word's of Michael Jackson..."Heal the World, make it a better place." Let's do our part in making his dream come true. I wish that I could have met Michael at least once in my life, taken a picture with him, gotten to shake his hand...I always promised myself that I would see him perform live at least one time in my life. So when the opportunity came in London, my family and I purchased tickets for the 9/10/09 show at the O2 arena. Now that he goes on to a better place, I will never get to fulfill my dream. However, I know that he is in a better place now. R.I.P. to The Greatest of All Times! Michael you will forever be missed! I am your number 1 fan! You are truly special!
I wish that now the people closet to Michael will continue to support him, his family, and uplift Michael as a person! It would be nice to see Neverland turned into a Michael Jackson museum and open it to the public. I beleive a lot of people will visit so that it can give them a feeling of closeness that everyone is so anxious to feel. Michael was a humanitarian, a entertainer, and above all a Wonderful Person! With great admiration and respect, you will truly be missed!
From your number 1 fan,
James

27. Kudos to #25...very nice. I remembered dancing to "ABC" with my BFF in her living room after school. I've been a fan since. Most of us wil never know what living under constant scrutiny would really be like. MJ knew it from very young. Hiding from all people who pat their rent by finding and perpetuating innuendo, rumors, and dirt. I think it would drive most people constantly wondering who they could really trust. Seems like everyone wanted a pice of Michael and his vulnerability made him a target. The more fame, the more it costs for a little privacy, We've seen this over and over, and not that I condone it, but,. I can honestly see why they self-medicate.

28. Man i don't even know were to start!! I still can not believe this i don't wont to but hey guess i gotta wake up and face reality right. Michael was a king, an icon and last but not least a fighter i say that because not matter what ppl said about him he never gave up. Now to all yall jerks on here calling him a child molester and all that i hope yall burn and hell seriously what is wrong with you talking bout the dead not only that but it's Michael Jackson the KING OF POP. He was not a bad person Mike help all those sick kids and donated his money and time to alot of ppl. He had a good heart he wasn't weird he was just misunderstood by some of yall ignorent jerks. And ya'll talking bout we did'nt even know him, We didnt know him like to call up on the phone but trust Mike fans knew him thats why we all knew he did'nt molestist that lil boy. So all i wont for everyone to do is if you don't have anything nice to say about him pleast don't say anything at all. Ya'll talking bout he going to hell and etc yall need to SHUT UP because ain't none of yall God what ya'll need to be worring about is where yo as going. Im hurt that Mike is gone and i wish we could bring him back but we can't but yet im happy to know he is in a better place where he don't have to worry about nobody talking and teasing him he's in peace now God had seen to that, maybe thats why God decinded to bring him with him he was tired of a good man getting stones threw at em. Well that's really all i have to say wish i could go to his funeral but i can't but yet Mike knows we all Love him and he will be Missed.
** R.I.P. Michael Jackson...... You were one that was gone to soon, i loved you all 16 years of my life and will love you for as long as i live.**
