32. He was in that power "bubble" were no one would step up and say NO to him. He had too much power for his own good.
He was a great talent and entertained millions and millions of people. Those allegations against him where all proven to be LIES put out there by a mother that was looking for a lot of money. And that is what started his downfall and that is what eventually killed this guy. Once an aqusation is made there was no way he could clear his name. Idiot people want to belive the worst. In some way it helps them rationalize there own PATHETIC LIVES!

36. Michael was truly the KING OF POP. People forget that and say he was a child molester and sexual predator but they don't remember he was the KING. He should be able to do what he wants and people should just forget that like his most loyal fans do. It's okay if you molested children Michael you were the king when you leaped around on stage and made jerky movements with your head. We will always remember and be proud of all your songs and funny dances and child molesting. We will take the good with the bad. You were the KING OF POP.

38. #16, I agree with you -this is only the beginning!
I believe a lot of stories will come out-also-I would hope Janet is privately mouring and not staying away because of impending controversy!
I still feel sorry for the kids and his mother!
Another celebrity/mega star broke and broken!

39. In answer to (Doublej) I have been prescribed morphine for the intense pain I am in as Michael must have also been. For a long time I couldn't understand why my pain would not go away, I had broken several bones and in my book you brake them, they heal and then you should be able to get on with life. But at the time of breaking my bones I went through a massive upheavel in my personnal life and now I believe the stress which it caused helped to increase the pain I was experiencing. I firmly do believe the stress Michael went through initially with the 'Court Case' then with the promise he recently made in London to do a final tour at the 02 arena, brought on massive stress for him. I hated the way he was treated by certain people and don't forget their was no evidence and he did win his case, but sadly it had a marked effect on his health and that coupled with his oncoming tour of 50 appearances which I do again firmly believe was too much for any artist, sadly in my book caused his death. I am now trying to get back control of my life and then in time I do hope to be weaned off the morphine - one doesn't take morphine when prescribed lightly, it's there to cure the pain, whether it be physical, mental or both.

40. Who CARES? So jackson is dead. Thats what happens when you take drugs. He was 'nt that good especially his dirty dancing(grabbing his crotch while dancing) That is really disgusting. He was a freak ,look at his face, i mean who the hell gets 50 plastic surgeries on their face? He wasn't that great a singer or a person. Who the hell hangs there baby over a rail and laughs about it? Someone who isn't right in the head. Any regular person who would have done that would have been put in jail, but not the king of pop (something he started calling himself) Maybe his kids can now have a NORMAL life. No tears from me, he is no loss at all.

41. God bless you and I know you are in a better place. You had a good kind heart and touched so many with your music and kindness.

42. What a tradegy!! Michael death reminds me of the incidents surround the demise of Anna Nichole! I wonder if Michael's
family tried to prevent this situation! It seems that Michael Jackson died prematurely. As a child, I grew up listening to
Michael Jackson's music and practiced his dance routines. I believe that Michael is a "wonderful, sensitive and caring
human being, who was very talented and was successful in the music industry. However, he paid a great price for this fame and fortune. Because he was a performer at such an early age, he never got an opportunity to enjoy his childhood or live a
normal life once he become a super star. I think that is the real sadness of his life. However, I do believe that his heart was in the right place and I believe that Michael was a great humanitain, simliar to Oprah. My God bless his spirit and his family!

43. Last night, when Jermaine Jackson came out and spoke for the family, he said that Jackson's personal Family Physician had been at the house with him.

This sadly sounds a whole lot like Anna Nicole Smith. Too many people feeding her too many drugs. When I saw the list of drugs she had in her system I was shocked that any doctor would prescribe that much.

Drugs can be used for good but they can also kill in high doses (well, I don't think anyone has ever died from marijuana).

And if Michael was having to have narcotics shot into him, then his body was probably not in condition to do a tour in the first place.

So sad. Such a troubled soul.

44. OMG. Drugs? So sad if true.
All I can say is that I wil NEVER, EVER forgwt the first time Michael Jackson moonwalked across the stage and stood up on his very tip toes and danced like NO ONE else. I STILL get goosebumps when I see video of him doing that -I ALWAYS will.
There has never been anyone like him, and there never will be.
Godspeed Michael, alas your journey of peace truly now begins.
