17. So he became addicted to painkillers...too bad no one in his family...who seem to be very sympathetic people...attempted to help this man. I'd also like to know how he was such a great father when he was either in a drug-induced state most of the time, or just plain out of it as if he were going to be undergoing surgery. If it were a person less sympathetic to the drive-by media...let's say a Rush Limbaugh...then I'm sure he'd be the receiver of jokes and put-downs. Agree TMZ?

18. That was ridiculously horrible. I don't think his hair could of possibly grow back either. Poor MJ

19. WOW! The video is so clear. It looks like it was yesterday. That fire spread fast in his hair and he was dancing and not even knowing his jeri curl was on fire. That would of had me on painkillers too! OUCH! He sued Pepsi and gave all the money to charity I believe. No one thinks of Michael as a burn victem, because they masked it so well but this clearly shows the true extent of the damage. Good thing the spin he did kind of put some of it out. You could tell he was feeling the pain at the end because he started jerking. INTENSE!

22. Lots of people have horrible accidents and DON'T become addicted to their
painkillers! This is a lame excuse for his gouging drugs.

23. That's so scary. I hate how everyone just crowded him like that though. You'd think after that kind of a burn he would need a little air.

24. That is so sick. They've only released that vid because he died. That was so horrible to watch. How could he carry on dancing?! Such a professional! Bet he would still be alive now if that didn't happen.
