  • As a people that rose in this World, Michael Jackson is part of the growing nation that i think he aspired one's / imagined one's that this world would be in peace and stable that every mankind can share their wealth,food, and other that could value other needy, one's he rose his voice to call not the american people nor the people of entire the world, but the one and the most powerfull the Almighty God of entire human being,of entire creation,
    My only pray to God if this world is a Examine for true believers then make as all Excelent either the Good people and bad people,
    May god reward the true intension of Michael that within his heart that if he may be cast out few of this but i believe that not at all...

  • May you rest in peace, dear Michael. We will miss you terribly - you were a genious! I (mom) took my 2 daughters to see the Bad Tour show in 1988 at Irvine Meadows, CA -my girls were 7 & 8 at the time. It is still the most fabulous, entertaining and brilliant show all 3 of us have ever attended. We were forever touched by your kind heart and soul, and I was so looking forward to your upcoming tour. We love you and take comfort in the fact that you're at peace in a better place.
    With sympathy,
    The Duncan Family

  • MJ, you did such a great job of singing that Rod Temperton song, Thriller, and danced that choreography by Michael Peters almost as well as the 35 professional dancers around you. You were a genius! I'm sure children, pharmacists, and loan officers all over the world will miss you dearly...
