16. My prayers go out to the Jackson family, and my heart goes out to his children. Michael Jackson has brought joy to millions of devoted fans throughout the world. He will never be forgotten or can ever be replaced. He was a once in a life time HUMAN BEING whom God blessed with so much wonderful talent he was truly gifted. His memory will live forever. I grew up listening to his music in the 80 and my children know all his music as well .There will Never Be Another Michael Jackson to walk this earth .He will be greatly miss but never forgotten ---JOANN GONZALES- TX

19. Michael estará sempre em nossas mentes e nossos corações. Sua luz nunca poderá ser apagada. Deixo aqui gravada minhas condolências à família de Michael e à todas as pessoas do mundo. Sentiremos falta do jeito de menino carente dele, mas lembraremos com muita emoção de sua alegria quando estava em cima dos palcos cantando e dançando de forma ilustre. Tenho certeza de que onde ele estiver, estará muito bem e fazendo o sabia fazer de melhor. Cantar e dançar.
Michael, fica em paz e que Deus te coloque em um lugar especial. Nós amamos você.

22. Classic-no one had anything to do with him in his last years, or vice versa-now they all come out and praise him-
Priceless!

23. I thought this was some sort of tribute to a man who was iconic and gave so much to the world mucically, instead it seems to be a page full of slander and hate during a very tough time for anyone who was ever moved by Michael's music. Diana Ross has been the same person as we know her, she's not going to change, some of you people need to let it go and think about things that matter.......I had the great pleasure of getting an autograph from her.......one of my friends wasn't so lucky and he doesn't hate her for that, it's just a matter of timing......rest in peace Mike jackson and god bless your family!

24. @ # 15, you are totally right, not that it matters now, but Gladys knight did introduce the Jackson 5 to berry Gordy, but of course Diana took the credit to boost her own career, like always, the woman is disgusting, who cares about how she feels, she is so irrelevant, finally... what a mean human being Diane is, when is her turn coming?, i know that is mean, but sometimes that is the only way to be with such vile nasty people. Madonna too,

26. I feel bad for these kids, but frankly, I'm much more saddened by Farrah Fawcett's death than by Michael Jackson's.

I was glad that Farrah was shown respect by NBC and ABC last night when they each dedicated an hour to her life and times.

Tonight, NBC is airing her cancer special.

I'm appalled by the cable stations that have spent so much time focusing on a self-destructive, narcissistic millionaire gone mad who threw his life away on painkillers, than on an extremely talented actress who was a huge pop icon in her own right, who spent the last three years of her life waging a very noble battle against cancer.

It just goes to show how low the media establishment and pop culture has sunk.

28. Diana is one of the "friends" that turned her back on Michael when the going got rough for him. Now she is all sad and saying how much she misses and loves him. She is a HYPOCRITE.

29. My condolences to Michael Jackson's children, his family and his friend.

Michael, rest in peace with the Lord.
