If I were Michael, I would fake my own death, too.
He has join the legendery club, Bob Marley welcomes him with a smile and a special hug. Please dont cry.
Micheal Jackson is really a great star despite all and if really there could be a ransom for death to leave him his romantic and sensational musics is qualify for death to fall in love with with him and harm him not .
His two songs that he sang Speechless and Heal the world is a enough prices for death to spare him for now he will survive the state and he will leave to sing for his survival song.
I Guess his next music will be tittle "The Survival" and "Grace of God"
Micheal Jackson You will live by the grace of God and we are under the Grace of god already .

I was at Disneyland way back when. (right before the Jackson scandal happened) My family and I were waiting to go see "Captain EO". The Disney employee whose job it was to let us into the theatre asked the crowd "Who here likes Michael Jackson?!" The crowd remained silent and only my mother cheered. Some people even booed. (remember, this was BEFORE the scandal)
After the screening of Captain EO, everyone was exiting the theatre when who should appear but the Man himself>> Michael Jackson. He headed thru the crowd as they went INSANE! It was as if the Beatles and Elvis had suddenly made an appearance. People crying, swooning, screaming with joy, shouting "I just saw Michael Jackson!!"
It was at this moment that I understood the true nature of fame.
The same people who had remained silent or booed just 15 minutes before.
You tried so hard to please, Mr. Jackson, and you were accused of so much. I don't know what was true and what wasn't but I do know you have always had the benefit of the doubt and you have been one of the finest entertainers the world has ever known.
come on ABC 123 how could he be dead! - he was an
icon - I'm weird too - so i understand weird
rest in peace if you are dead!!
This is a sad event but necessary. Micheal had turned into an oddity thus the longer he lived the more alien he would become to the rest of us.
The great ones simply cannot last because society turns on them for comic relief.
Micheal was a fantastic artist with many personal problems. I'm only sorry that he will be remembered as 'wacko-Jacko' instead of the brilliant artist he truly was.
But for sure he is not dead, he lives on.
You made a point there. But most stars are then sick bastards, aren't they?
Still when they officially enact donations, because mostly that ain't for the donations sake....
I'm a gasp gasp gasp gasp gaspin' machine, watch me get down, watch me down as I doo-doo-doo-doo-doo in my gurney so clean! By freak. See you at daycare. Wear your glasses and glove so no one will recognize you.
This is really hurting
Damn, I came so close to hitting the jackpot with my celebrity-death-trifecta.
Shouldn't have picked Tito.
My Dearest Michael,
If you still were here
May your spirit rest
Rejoice, your soul, is free
Blessed be and peace to you
Your glory is like the flowers of the field
Like roses will fall, their remembrance is forever
The lord is yours
I shall not want a past that now is lost
Silence and grief, my heart is lone
A wreath - my farewell
I rue you - grief bites hard
Tears now flow for you...
Amen.
Donny Osmond was as young and as much in the spotlight, and he is doing okay.
I am still convinced that although he beat the child molestation charges he was guilty as sin. When you have that much money you can buy off anyone.
Ahhhh... Whatever
The Paul McCartney that I know and love would
not have made that comment in a public forum.
Ur short poem is good but you have used the similar which flower and roses they do not last but dies fast.
Micheal is not to be personified with such cause i do not love flowers really if not for the cause a "flower that smiles today dies tomorrow"
Mikey, I miss you already. Thanks for all those videos of naked little boys enjoying your ferris wheel and tilt-a-whirl. Can I have your cotton candy machine bro? Maybe your oxygen chamber so I can grow some killer-thriller weed? Hook a brother up Mikey!
All my condolences to the family had mourned
MJ's death saddened me a lot, I love this beautiful destiny!
We find there is the Will of God
Accept as it happened

Live on in peace Michael, your greatness will now be appreciated.....hey don't stay dead too long !..
Awesome disguise Mike.
I had no idea feelings for him ran this deep. I thought I had written him off and separated the art from the artist, but, his music is still here, he's gone, and I am so sad.
You are right in that. A later comment of the "impostor" shows that clearly. Pity that no one would know Stella's contact details.
I got an email for that: doctor_hyde@usa.com
Has anybody seen this new TRANSFORMERS movie?
My sources say it's making a LOT of money!
RIP MJ. You're music gave me many great moments in life. No ones perfect and neither are many of the peeps here who are slagging him.
peace
are you for real he made his own choices ,the public didnt bleach his skin and perform 200 plastic surgeries he was pedophile .too many bad choices too many times, thats what kills him.
He was a great man...We will miss you so much....I love him so much and i feel bad this happened...A king is gone again...May his soul rest in perfect peace..
We love you Mike
