From the day I heard your music Blaring from my stereo, To the day you healed the world, You've always were my hero. It was in your upbringing, You became hurt and lost, You lived your life out on a stage, Where people loved you most. When u were a star, They wouldn't accept you as you are, They vilified your name, They almost drove you insane. Now that your'e gone, Your legacy lives on, And of course they'll forget, What they all once said. For as never before, Now that you're no more, The swooping vultures will appear, To milk your name and fame for sure. Rsl

This is just a strong reminder on how tomm. is not promised. MJ was an icon and allowed people like Prince and Usher among others to do what they do. I'm still in shock that Michael Jackson is dead...so unreal. I had to pinch myself. The same man who did the moonwalk and wore the glitter out glove is gone. People are so strung out on accusations that were never to be proven true and drug abuse. But forget to remember what he did through music, dance and videos. Before we judge and look at him in this negative light you all need to read up on your history. read up on Elvis and you'll see his drug addiction and his dealings with young girls. But things like that we tend to let pass. SMH! rest in peace Micheal you are the greatest!!!!!!

It was a shock initially, and now I feel relieved. Whether he was a pedofile or not (I believe he was), he has seemed like a prisoner in his own body for years and years, so whether the world just got rid of one pervert or he just found peace, Okay. And to those who worry about his children, I'm sure they will see an improvement in their lives now, not the other way around. Perhaps they will have some chance at normalcy.

Yeah, I did. I meant to say that all the bad that someone does in their life does not cancel out all of the good they may have done as well. Being realistic and mourning the loss of an entertainer and a legacy of iconic music is fine. I also personally mourn because a man who was extremely flawed personally did not get a chance to turn his life around. He was on the verge of a comeback. I hope he made his peace with God before he left.

CG- sometimes it seems like you wait to pick on what I say but... I also said that his pedophilia was not ok and it never is under ANY circumstance but for people to rejoice in his death is wrong. He was a human being. His children are now fatherless and they are happy about it. Rejoicing in THAT is never right either

I just wanted to add that I know there are people who think mourning the loss of MJ is pathetic, because there are many people dying at this very second, and the only one's truly touched by it are their families. I think some people, when they become a celebrity, especially a huge celebrity, they start to become more like a family member, or perhaps just a person who you felt was a big part of your life, and a person who helped define generations of music or acting, or any other kind of art. MJ truly did inspire people around us to give us what we have today. Great music. No one is saying the guy was a saint, no one is. But what I am saying is that regardless of that, he was a very talented guy, who could light up a room and excite people with his music. Not every entertainer has that kind of effect on people. It seems people like Britney Spears (when she was normal...) was all about the people who were teenagers and tweens in the early late 90's and early 2000's. MJ can be recognized by 10 year olds just because he is *that* big.I am not his biggest fan, but I respect his music, I respect his legacy. And I hope that after the terrible life he had, he can find peace. I also hope that his kids realize that their dad, though had many accusations against him, and acted a little weird, was truly talented and will be very sorely missed.

I feel really sad for all the people saying that it was good that he died. No one should wish death on another human being. He was a flawed human being but a human being none the less. We all have done some things that others would not approve of, but to wish death on anyone is just sad. Everyone has good and bad in them to ignore one for the is ridiculous. He may have slept with children but he also gave millions to charities. NO, this does not make his pedophilia ok but to wish him death is not better.
