    I am filled with so much sadness. I always thought Michael was the last source of real music and one of the last truly gifted performers...music has officially died.

    R.I.P Michael...thank you for the music.

    Chris Brown: “Michael Jackson is the reason why I do music and why I am an entertainer. I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy. My prayers are with his family. Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. He’s the greatest… the best ever. No one will ever be better. ”

    Quincy Jones: “I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words.

    Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s.

    To this day, the music we created together on “Off The Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad” is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.

    He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever.

    I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

    As Beyonce so eloquently put it, we are all so lucky to have been alive during Michael's time to see him perform and hear all of his wonderful music. He was a huge part of my childhood.

    i feel quite sorry & worried for Liz Taylor, she's lost a lot of good friends over the years, some of them quite tragically, like Montgomery Clift who she was with when he died in a car accident. at her age, and with her fragile health problems, a loss like this could kill her.

    i cannot even express how much michael's music has always meant to me and how heartbroken i am over this, especially for his family and three children. it still doesn't feel real. what a tremendous loss for the world of music and the world in general.

    mr feldman the next time you send out condolences leave out the fact that you had a falling out with them true heartfelt sorrow on a person's passing is that of what they meant to you in happy times we didn't need that tibit of info some ex actors who are no longer in the lime light need that as a opening to go on xtra or entertainment tonight for an interveiw very tacky i say michael jackson was a talent that for me meant a great deal iv'e been crying since it happened let's leave out the negative the media is doing enough with that job. lets remember his chlldren and his parents and what they must be going through a father , a son , a brother a entertainer is gone ........

    I loved Michael , I always had .. His voice , his dance and I mean he was just one of the greatest , I mean he was the greatest. Seeing people all over the world showing there love and support makes me very happy. I wish people could care for me that much, no but seriously it takes alot of soul and alot of energi to become a star like M.J, he touched me , and people all over the world. I've heard alot of people saying that he deserved to die. It makes me angry and sad , a rolemodel but also a idol I love!

    No matter what people say , no matter what they have to give , I don't care . M.J was a big legend. This is so sad , that he died , why did he have go ? All of his song , makes sense. I mean seriously , he was more then just a singer. He was a good man, he had a good heart , he cared for people in needs, alot of his money went to children in Africa. I mean he gave poor people alot of the money he earned, so I think this man deserves more. People didn't care when he was still alive , and now they do, why?

    It was really sad when the news said that this icon had passed away. I do not beleave the media or news on how they just wont let this icon rest in peace. I feel for the children and family so much it is getting me sick to my stumic when they trash him when he had just passed away. Can't anyone say anything nice about a person anymore. Marlon said it best (" NOW MICHAEL THEY MIGHT JUST LEAVE YOU ALONE") Well I am really sorry that he was wrong. And that is sad. they are greaving and people still just keep trashing there brother and father and son. WOW this is a sad world. I really miss you michael and you will forever be in my heart. RIP MICHAEL JACKSON. YOUR FAN FOREVER. sad and hurt by this sad world. you really tryed to bring everyone together by your songs but you cant teach cold hearted people " togetherness" because they don't have hearts. Love ya Michael J. lotsmith63.
