18. I am saddened by the sudden death of Michael. He may not have been perfect, but none of us are. His talent and persona will never be forgotten. I grew up with Michael and his brothers on the radio and on TV. His music will live on forever. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Don't forget no matter what happened or happens he will be in our hearts forever.

20. A musical Icon will be sadly missed he was a very gifted but toubled human being. I was mortified when I heard he was dead I thought somone was playing a cruel joke. I don't think anyone can live a normal life when you are harassed the way he was I hope people realize his children will be ever effected by what their father endured in his las years of life.
REST IN PEACE you will always be rememberd.

21. I am completely saddened by his death. it feels. like a dream and im just waiting to wake up from it. Michael Jackson was one of the greatest singers, dancer, and musician of all time. my heart goes out to his family and fans. Hearing of this devistating news is very hard and so unreal.

24. By the time the dust clears from this mess, it's going to be far more sordid than anyone could have imagined..

25. Someone had to have given him a pretty high dosage to cause a heart attack. Or MJ was addicted to Demerol and had been taking it for so long, his heart just finally gave out.

Terrible situation...we've lost a musical genius.

28. It is truly sad! People take drugs (even prescription) and don't really understand all the terrible side-effects from these drugs. First Elvis and now Michael ! It's time to wake up the world and let people know one thing, take drugs and shorten your life span!

30. I never could understand why MJ had all that plastic surgery -- he was such a cute kid and an attractive man before he turned "white." An amazing, talented entertainer whose personal life was an apparent mess. RIP
