3. Michael Jackson more famous than John Lennon? More famous than Elvis? - How can this be? there was no AOL, ipod's or cell phones when John & Elvis died but Elvis and John are still remembered. Perhaps if MJ. is still remembered 32 years from now will the answer become available. Michael Jackson truly is an incredible talent and surely will be sadly missed. I hope he is remembered always also.

4. I was a young going to high school in Mogadishu Somalia, that was back in 1980s and my first album was off the Wall, and a little time later the Thriller album hit me like a train, I always liked Mj's music no matter which song it was they were all great songs, and I don't think that there will ever be a musician like MJ that I will ever love all his or her albums.
When I have seen the breaking news that day I did not think of it as real, I thought it was just an other media blitz about the MJ, to my horror it was real and I felt that I have lost someone very close to me, my eyes teared and I could not stop myself even now I still do and I am a man that is father to small children that will look up to me, but I know that the world has lost someone that history will probably say that he was a king with no subjects. Rest in Peace Micheal Jackson while we your subjects MOURN.

6. In Memory of Michael Jackson

The music world stood still today,
In a silence and disbelief,
The “King of Pop” had suddenly slipped away,
Leaving hearts with unbearable grief.

Michael you left us too early,
It was too soon for you to go,
But up in the heavens the call was heard,
And it was your time we know.

We’ll all remember where we were,
On the day when He called your name.
We’ll play your songs in memory,
But it will never be the same.

You spanned the generations,
We all knew your songs.
Some of us even tried to moonwalk,
Your great memories will linger on.

I remember the day I bought your first album,
You were special way back then.
I remember the store and even what I wore,
There will be no one like you again.

My children know your music as I did,
And my Grandchildren too.
We all like the song “Thriller”,
It’s our favorite music video too!

As the day winds down and the hours have passed,
Our hearts remain so broken apart,
We sing and reminisce of your magic,
With a big huge hole in our hearts.


I took a picture with your album today,
The Jackson Five I bought in 1969,
This part of your legacy I’ve kept all these years.
The music still plays all the time.

We had to dig through an old picture box
Your likeness with your red jacket and white glove was on a cake,
My Daughter wanted “Michael Jackson” for her 12th Birthday,
That’s something few will have and what a treasure that did make!

I can imagine the concert you must be at now,
With clouds of angels and heaven your stage.
And all the great artists that were waiting for you,
This must be a glorious day!

The King of Pop meets The King of Rock Elvis,
The Godfather of Soul James Brown was there too.
The stage was set and the musicians ready,
They all had been waiting for you.

The receiving line is lengthy,
Sammy Davis, Nat King Cole, and Luther were all waiting there,
You’re home Son now and they’re ready,
You can sing now without a care.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow is being sung,
The music is oh so grand,
You recognize this sweet angel voice,
It’s non-other than Judy Garland.

As you walk along to greet all those waiting there,
Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Tyrone Davis, Bo Diddley with his “Lucille”.
Outstretched hands from The Godfather of Rock n’ Roll Ike Turner,
You know this is a BIG DEAL.

Also in the line is Gerald Levert, Wilson Pickett, and Rick James,
John Lennon with George Harrison the Beatles are here too,
Oscar Peterson, Buddy Miles, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly,
Jimmy Hendrix, Sam “Buzzman” Taylor just to name a few.

The Harps are playing the songs from the “Nutcracker”
You see Tchaikovsky and Debussy standing there.
The Chairman of the Board Frank Sinatra with Dean Martin,
Lucinao Pavorotti along side Jerry Garcia and even Fred Astaire.

The line goes on for as far as the eye can see,
Many more are waiting with the love you’ve been shown.
The Heavens stage now awaits your “Moon Walk”.
For you now know “You Are Not Alone”!

So Michael you are at peace now,
You were a “Thriller” like no one else will ever be.
You will never be forgotten,
For you left us “Too Soon” and all we have left is your memory!

And from the clouds echos this voice…and Here’s Michael!
Over at the desk is Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson ready for the show!
You have been taken from us,
But we have to believe you are in a much better place we know.

You gave us “Butterflies” and your music will stay forever in our hearts and in our souls! Just hearing all the music you left behind “One Day in Your Life” ….remember when things fall apart and you find that your always lonely, just call my name and I’ll be there! I think ears are hearing and listening to some of your music that wasn’t played as often and saying as I am….Wow! The song “Smile” …..smile through your fears and sorrows, you’ll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile! You’ll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile! Your music the arrangements……incredible! I find myself in tears at the beauty and the emotion of some of the songs. It has transcended through all generations and to everyone no matter if you are “Black or White” or brown, red, yellow or any other color. It was music for all the generations that will live always as a part of music history! In the darkest hour in my deepest despair in my turbulence, pain, joy, and sorrow………..I will never let you part for you are always in my heart from “Will You Be There”? Sorrowfully beautiful music for the ages.

Like your Father said, if only you were able to see this celebration of your life! That was his wish for you to see all this outpouring of love! If only……if only there are so many if onlys! But, I believe somewhere you are seeing it only without care or pain only joy!

May you rest in peace with the Angels! May the Lord watch over you and keep you in his ultimate grace and watch over your family always! Thank you for all the musical treasures you leave us with! You truly had a gift and thank you for sharing that gift of your music with the world!
We are the world, we are the children and we all shed a tear for you!

Sincerely,
A Fan

7. Michael Jackson is the greatess entertainer of all times 750 million records and the count is still going. 200 more songs in the can for his estate. He owns one of the best rights to music with his great songs. Well I would say hans down it's Michael. Elvis never wrote a song and he only had a million dollars in a checking account when he died. He was great, but not greater then Michael. John Lenon was the man and he is still great, but Michael has eclipsed his star as well. No one will ever get to that height ever again. He will never be out Sold in the music world. One of the other Genre will have to beat him but it will never be in music. Rest well King of POP!!!!

10. He is the the king of pop, and the king of music of my generation. While many others were listening to hard rock and heavy metal, there were those of us in the 70's and 80's who favored the smooth music and moves of Michael Jackson. He was at first a teen idol but rose so much higher than that. I think he will remain the most famous dead musician because he appealed to a much broader audience than Elvis and John Lennon, or Bob Marley, no disrespect to them. Isn't it so sad that each of them died at such a young age when they could have brought us so much more quality music to enjoy? Isn't it amazing too that each of these famous musicians promoted peace, love and helped so many people ?(Michael with Feed the World, Bob Marley went back to Jamaica and gave so much back to his people) Not one of them found their success by singing about violence, raw sex or evil. Guess that says alot, doesn't it??

Thanks for the music Michael, we will never forget you...

11. michael jackson wuz the king of pop..yea yea we know that. i love his music and all. but r u ppl crazy. this guy molested young children!!! hes nasty! hes a creep! u should definitley not be idolizing him. im sry tht he died and all but in a way i think tht he kinda deserved it for wht he did to young children. its rly sad and dissapointing. he wuz supposed to be an idol to evrybody. and not to mention he put one of his babies in harms way. he put "blanket" over a balcony with a sheet over his head. thts crazyyy! he had serious problems and issues. its just sad tht he never got help.

12. I'm still sick from this - I just can't believe it.
I wasn't one of those screaming, fainting fan types - but my "fun 80's days" were definitely linked heavily w/ MJ.
If anyone did their homework on his lonely & even disfunctional childhood w/ his humanitarianism
efforts, you'de understand he doesn't fit the profile of a sick pedo. (maybe he was
more Asexual and got a release thru music?)

IF ONLY he were alive to see this massive outpouring of love & support for him. Where were we when he needed us?
I'm still sad & full of grief - esp. for his family & kids.
What a huge and devestating loss. I can't seem
to say to Goodbye.
:(

14. To Michael's family- Michael will for ever be loved and never forgotten by those of us that grew up listening to his music. Please take care of his children. Keep them all together, they need each other. And may God forgive the people that spread rumors and call him names. No one ever saw him molest or abuse a child. I love you Michael, may you rest in peace.

15. Michael Jackson is the most famous celebrity on earth; therefore, he will continue to be the most famous live and dead celebrity on earth and in heaven.

Today is July 23, 2009, and I am still crying for you; as the tears continues to drop as I write this; I recorded the memory ceremony in order for me to watch; whenever, I want; something; I have done at least three time since July 7, 2009; which, I also did on Sunday July, 19, 2009 and I begin to cried like to say you just passed. I missed you so much, have been crying as read your biography on Google encyclopedia few minutes ago. I love you so much because you, Janet and the Jackson Five were the first child musicians I have ever seems on TV twenty-seven years ago. I never knew there were kids who could sing and dance and black kids at that matter.

As for acting the Emmanuel Lewis, the Cosby Kids as well as the kids form different stroke and good time; in which, your sister Janet did acted in both make me to know there were kids actresses and actors because they were the only kid actors and actresses I have ever seen on TV. But seeing a ten years old child singing and dance make my day. Whenever, the Jackson five comes on I will never leave my sit to go to the bathroom until during commercial. I remember seeing you on TV as a ten year old child to a twenty-six years old man on the Grammy who won 8 Grammy award a record breaking. I remember seeing the music Video of “We are the World” a music that serve as a commercial song for Coco Cola.

I have loved you during your days as a member of the Jackson five; who, having to be the lead singer. As much as I love all the member of the Jacksons, you and Funky Janet are my favorite Jackson. The first child musician I have ever seems and have stole my heart.
I knew I loved you very much form the day I first saw you on TV; I just did not know that I love you 100%; until June 26, 2009, when I woke up form sleep and put my Computer on to see that you had passed on Yahoo. I lost my brother when I was ten; he was killed because he was a Muslim during the civil war in my native country Liberia. I have never stopped crying and mourning for my brother; since, his passing on October 11, 1990.

I felt that, I will never cried and mourn for anybody this much; I must say, you broke that rule because I have been crying and mourning for you; since, your passing on June 25, 2006; a day have not passed without me thinking about you. I am so angry, I feel like Allah rapped me off by taking you without me getting the chance to meet you.
I always felt I was going to meet you before I take my last breath. I hope to meet Janet and the rest of the Jacksons before my last breath. In my eyes you could do no wrong and I am happed that no media change my perception about you. Back in my country every new about you on the radio and TV station were always positive.

I have never bought these tabloids magazines anything I need to know about you, I learn form you. I defended you, stood by you and never stopped supporting you during your trials, pains and happiness. You are one of the best good hearted creatures Allah have ever created; and it is good to know that, your heart is just as, soft and innocent like your soft and innocent smile and laugh; as well as, your handsome look, therefore, go and give to the dead and angels and make sure to help ALLAH take good care of your children, parents, sibling, billions of fans and friends.

OH MICHAEL; I AM MISSING YOU SO MUCH, the world is EMPTY without you; I will never forget you; though, I do not have any children at this present time, I promise to tell your story to my children and grand children; when I ever have them.
