You were part of my live through my teens and parenthood.A brilliant talented guy.Very misunderstood but I believe a sensitive gentle and innocent guy. My son was looking forward to your London show. I am so glad I got to see you back in the 90′s. No one can achieve what he achieved, Michael. I hope that you are at peace now. All your fans love you infinitey.You had the most beautiful eyes ever….RIP.

stop and think about it before posting gushing dramatic drivel, Jackson may have been a so called super star but what has he done in the last 20 years, nothing !! he will be remebered not for his music but for his eccentric and questionable lifestyle. i like most sensible people wont miss him and will remeber him for what he was exposed as being.

KH, he may have been accused of something, but at the end of the day he was cleared in a court of law. He was a little weird I’ll admit but the music he made although not recently was classic and timeless, no one will ever compare to MJ.

Is it too late to say that it would be nice if people could avoid writing ill of the dead in order to show some respect ? Ahh, it is.
Whether you liked his music or not, I think few could argue that despite his career being damaged with accusations that tarred him without ever being proven, he was a top quality song/dance act and he sustained his position as number one in the field for decades. This is an achievement few if any of us will manage. Sad to say, he may also be remembered as the ’80′s equivalent of Fatty Arbuckle, but for today at least, let’s remember him as someone who tried to entertain – and largely succeeded.

I thought he settled out of court by paying the family 13 million dollars?

I’ve heard many defences of Michael Jackson over the years from people who on the same evidence would have been parading outside his home with miss-spelt signs saying “Burn the Peedoh” – if he’d been say a local pensioner rather than someone who’d made a fortune by recording the CDs on their shelves.

He did make some very good music in the 80′s (so did lots of other artists)but nothing since, merc, the only stupid one was michael himself he was a 50 yr old man who should have been capable of making decisions on whether he could do the 50 gigs himself, but then he obviously lost the plot years ago so I think his death (suicide, maybe not officially but what he’s done to himself recently I think it amounts to suicide)was inevitable.
