    He was the king of pop and it seems so unreal that hes gone. His music made such and huge impact on music. He speaks real stuff in his music..

    I am the same age as Michael Jackson and have always loved to listen to his music and watch his riveting performances. Whenever I feel lacking in motivation to do mundane tasks, housework, etc, I put on his music and in an instant I'm smiling and I have to get moving - dancing around and pretty soon my job is done and I got some exercise to boot. I'm sad that someone with so much talent ended up so sad and alone and hopeless. I hope his dysfunctional family doesn't visit the same upon his children.

    His music brings back wonderful Jr. High and High School memories for me and that is what I will always remember about Michael Jackson. My condolences go out to his family. His death was sad but I don't think it was unexpected considering the way he lived.

    I am very saddened by the loss of MJ. His music will live forever and hopefully we will soon forget all of the controversy surrounding him.

    The person's gone!!! We should let it rest in peace... If he did do wrong, he will get whats coming to him...I cringe everytime I think of what he might of have done to those innocent children, but he's no longer here. So, we must move on!

    Michael will be missed I believe by many for his musical and dancing talent. He will also be remembered for his humanitaian asset to the world. We all have skeletons in our closet that is not so easily seen. His was only transparent because of him being highly famous. We/my family will miss his work and he will for ever be in our prayers..R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson ll...
