46. You take care of yourself. You are the last living icon in music we have left.
There will never be another Michael, Elvis or the Beatles.
Thriller the greatest album of all time will live in my heart forever.
The joy and fun we all had dancing to that in the 80s was one of the best experiences in my life.
That was so exciting to walk into a club and hear the beat of Michael songs and to dance to them put you in heaven.
The best!
Yesterday was a ugly day. Poor sweet Farrah and then this....shocking!

49. paul should get the music that is his and to those who have something to say about the boy comment .
your compassion becomes you all...

paul should be the rightful owner of that music,it is his , we will now see how honest mj was about his word to paul on him getting what is rightfully his when he passed ..

so it has been said.

paul was a beatle and that is his work to get the moneys off of it ,

we are lucky he said anything at all .

52. No, I'm afraid not. Paul has shown himself to be a bitter racist old man. I'm just sorry he used this opportunity to vent it.

53. Boy Man??????/ Well maybe Paul feels a little guilty! Since he abused his wife Physically and mentally, and he sold his collections of tunes to MJ. He's the boyman who never grew up !!!!!!!!

54. That was really trashy of Paul to dig at Michael with the "boy man" comment. It even may be true, but you don't say that right after someone dies! As usual, Paul is an egomaniac who thinks the world revolves around him. He could've just kept his mouth shut, but instead he decided to say something rude. When he dies I hope someone refers to him as a 'boy man' too, it would be hilarious. I can't figure out who is a bigger asshole, him or his ex-wife Heather.

56. Give me evidence that Paul McCartney abused either of his wives. And calling PM a racist is absurd since HE invited both MJ AND Stevie Wonder to do duets with him. Don't you fools know these particular guys are African-Americans? Boy/Man refers to Jackson's Neverland home, mostly gentle soul (which I believe Paul McCartney referred to), and public perception that we put on him. Paul McCartney said nothing wrong. Retards. Come after me, not Paul McCartney. I dare you.

57. Sony will get/aready has the rights because Jackson was in arrears on everything, you retards. Paul McCartney didn't say anything wrong. Boy/Man refers to Jackson's Neverland home, gentle soul which McCartney stated and public perception which Jackson brought on himself. To call Paul McCartney a racist is as absurd since McCartney specifically asked both MJ and Stevie Wonder to do duets with him and they agreed. Do you fools know that MJ and Stevie Wonder are African-Americans? And to the swampwipe who is perpetuating the nonsense that Paul McCartney ever abused his wives, give me the evidence. Or else bite my a$$.

58. This is a complete diss to MJ. Way to low ball Paulie. As I recall that you are a kiddie porn offender!!!
Not only that you hate will overcome you.
MJ still OWNS YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't buy your own music catalogue back????
You'll see that when MJ makes a comeback B****!!!!!!!!

MJ dance away on your haters, you are a beloved soul!

59. I think he was more than polite in saying this. I'm sure everyone and thier uncle tracked him down for a comment. He had every right to dispise jackson...he conned him out of HIS OWN SONGS just becuase jackson knew he would never hold a candle to the talent of mcartney/lennon. Jackson did it all for the money...i just hope the rights can be back with the actual artist now..instead of someone just out for money.
