Diana Ross, the woman instrumental in launching the Jackson 5 into superstardom, has just released a statement about Michael Jackson's passing.
"I can't stop crying, this is too sudden and shocking. I am unable to imagine this. My heart is hurting. I am in prayer for his kids and the family."
The Jackson 5's first album was titled "Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5."
1. RIP MJ. Dont worry about the haters. All these haters are heartless lil turds. You will be haunted. Respect the dead.

3. I'm happy he's finally getting the recognition again for his talent and all he contributed to the music industry. I'm surprised there hasn't been a public statement from Elizabeth Taylor...she's always been a loyal, public admirer of Michael. Peace be with you Michael.

4. Dianna Ross....She may have discovered the Jackson 5...but....that woman is another train wreck... she gives nothing back to her fans....The Jacksons should have taught her some manners.....my mother was terminally ill and we were at her concert and she would not give my Mom an autograph. All she did was bring the guys up on stage from the audience to drool over her. My Mom passed 2 weeks later. Thats okay Ross has spiraled out of control since that Warwick RI Concert in 98! No longer a fan...the $200 I spent for the concert probably went to her recovery!

5. I am so very thankful that Miss Ross has come forward and made a public statement. My prayers are with the Jackson Family and with Diana too. I was critical earlier that she had not come forward, but I suppose none of us can imagine her level of grief. RIP Michael and long live Diana Ross

7. WHEN ONE IS SUCCESFULL AND YOURE ON TOP EVERY ONE WANTS TO BRING YOU DOWN, MICHAEL JACKSON TO ME WAS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME. HE WAS A GIANT. i TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE ACTUALLY LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY BUT THE NEGATIVITY ABOUT HIM WILL BE OVERSHOWED BY THE GREAT THINGS HE DID AS A HUMAN BEING. HE HAD AN ENTOURAGE THAT DIDNT HAVE HIS BEST INTEREST, INSTEAD THEY GAVE HIM BAD ADVICE AND TOOK HIS MONEY ...............................BUT MICHAEL I SIT HERE AND CRY , BUT THANK YOU IMMENSLY FOR KEEPINGME ENTERTAINED AS A CHILD AND AS AN ADULT! MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

12. RIP Michael Jackson! May god bless Diana, Michael family and friends. Anytime someone loses a loved one, it's difficult. I hate to take this to a negative tone. But I swear some people are just so ignroant. Why would they use this time to say something negative about Diana Ross. It just bogles the mind how and why people could be so insensitive at a time of death. IT'S not about Diana Ross. It's about mourning the loss of a loved one. And if you don't care for him, why would you take the time to come on the internet, read stories about him and then post somethng ignornat about him. oh...because they are ignorant! I pray you people don't lose someone you care about. We'll see if you are thinking about their misfortunes of life or will you just want to take that time to mourn the loss of your loved one. May GOD BLESS you Diana AND Michael. Obviously you left an impression on people( fans and ignorant folks alike).

15. I thought it was Gladys Knight that introduced The Jackson Five to Berry Gordy? I seem to have read where Diana Ross was always given credit but it was actually Gladys Knight. Guess it doesnt matter or who knows, perhaps I'm wrong. Oh well...
