I can't believe we lost him. He might have been a messed up person, but he did so much for the music of our time. Such a great vocalist, one of my favorite.

I never was a fan of Michael Jackson, but his contribution to pop music is undeniable. May flights of angels sing him to his rest.

R.I.P > It is hard for me to say anything good about Michael Jackson. As a Father, Whatever he did as a musician is buried by my contempt for all people who mess with little kids.. But Death is sad for families in any case and as a dad I feel for those kids of his that no longer have a dad or mom... That really Sucks!!! May God Watch over the little kids.

Also an honored Farewell to Farah, And Ed they will be missed..

Thriller was my first Album. Billy Jean and Beat it where quite good songs...but since I never was much into Pop Music after age 12, I think it was harder for me when Kurt's left us.

But one thing is good about it...Mickael died like a real Rockstar, taking drugs until he collapses...

Was Mickael a child abusser ? Or was it more likely, that he was sick in his head and still a young boy ? I bet the second, as it never got proofed he really abussed children. Wonder how people will look at @Vad1er if he kisses or hugs one of his kids...Oo

Leave out the hypocritics, Mickaels got to be honoured as an Artist, and not contempt for something he never did.

His life was a tragedy from day one. R.I.P.

I'm afraid a new show will show up soon, the moneyclaiming lawsuit cockroaches will hunt his will and remaining estates and funds like hounds from hell.

Over 25,000 children die every day around the world. That is equivalent to, 1 child dying every 3.5 seconds, 17-18 children dying every minute, and over 9 million children dying every year; mainly the result of poverty, hunger, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, etc. In spite of the scale of this it never achieves headline coverage. RIP Michael Jackson sure, but I've never understood how our society got so messed up that one death can generate so much attention and the others none. End of political message.

Captain- I am sorry for your loss then. But It wasn't one case in his life there were 7 total and NONE were his children. this is common knoledge the last one the parents refused to take a settlement on it! People with lots of money can and have bought there way out of stuff like this... Was he innocent? only god knows.. Was he messed up in the head kid himself? more than likely.. Still What is ok for you? Do you have kids? Anyway in the end it is the parents fault for letting there greed or whatever allow them to think it was ok to leave there kids with even a POP icon... I admire your love for your pop hero.. and your Guts(better than the trolls atleast)
I kiss and hug my children openly and they are MY children not someone elses..And they sleep in there own beds and don't even share there baths with each other... As is APPROPRIATE... As I said before I feel for his kids without mother or father now.. And agree with Cwight- This isn't worth the attention it is getting... And you are Treading very close to Holy Ground- My kids are absolutley off limits to you!

RIP Farrah....

First off, it was never proven he did anything to any kid. Hard to say, the fact that most accusers took the cash and that leaves me to believe thats all they were in it for. I feel that the only reason MJ offered up those settlements is, the cost of having lawyers and other people helping out with these cases probably cost him a lot of money and he figured would be cheaper just to settle that way, again, hard to say. I think he was just a missunderstood person myself. He helped a lot of children in so many ways.

If it were me as a father and this happend to my kid, no amount of money would ever be good enough. YOU NEED TO GO TO JAIL. (PERIOD!) BUT, it wouldn't happen because I would NEVER allow my child to spend the night with someone I didn't really know, celeb or not. From what I understand, the parents of these kids were fruitcakes themselves, especially if they are going to allow their kid to spend the night with practically a total stranger.

In Michael Jackson case, he was aquitted of these charges.

One of the biggest problems with MJ, was he was not loved by any one around him except maybe his own family. Everyone had their hand out, plus he himself was abused physically by his father as a child. As well as the fact he never had a normal childhood, so yeah he was missing a tool or two from the shed because of all these incidents.

Michael Jackson, great entertainer/song writer. He will be remembered for this and not the accusations brought against him IMO. It will be brought up, but it will be his legacy as an entertainer/song writer that will be remembered most just as Elvis is remembered for and not his womanizing, bingeing, or drug abuse.
