122. Imagine the Impact he has on people. The crimes these inmates commit varies, from murder to homicide, etc. but they are willing to become as one and perform such tribute to pay their final respect to a person who has inspired people from all over the world. RIP MJ

125. Cool tribute... was curious about these prisoners.. turn out some of them are murderer, traffickers, and some are on death row..yet they do this things. They apparently have a female prison adjacent so that where they got the girls. But I bet some of them are not really girls, but who cares... They did an awesome tribute.... Nice one.....

We will miss you MJ.... all the wannabee pale in comparison with you and you never have any song that uses f*%@*-up words or cusses....

128. Wow, I am very moved and tears rolling down my cheeks whilst watching those inmates dancing and listening to the music.My congrtulations to the choreographer and to those inmates (I don't believe that they are inmates as they are all of the same age! ) What the heck, they did a top job, how on earth these practice in an orderly manner! I am very proud of you guys. MJ is a legend, he rock the world, no one can deny that, the obvious is there. We just have to pray for MJ's soul and carry on the legacy that he left behind. He will always remembered. I blamed all the doctors who assist him to d'die' slowly, instead of helping him kick the 'habit' they induce him for the 'shine' of $$$$$, what else! They are the criminals. There should be a legislation, the right to bring these 'culprits' to the court and be tried and be sentence accordingly. Where is their conscience now? Whatever they do, their guilty conscience will always be there 'til the day they die.Doctors have a duty of care to their patient? They obviously break that duty. DOM MJ,God Bless you up there, surely you will be in heaven now. I hope a fair investigation will be conducted as there are so many missing questions not yet answered.

130. Could people stop gaybashing? Why assume that dancers are gay? Don't you find it cool that a group of convicts got together to create art? And could people stop making nasty comments about MJ? He's gone. Let him rest in peace. We will never know the entire story about the lawsuits, so let them go. I think it's amazing that, all across the world, people are giving tributes to MJ. It shows the power of art to bring people together.
