Jermaine Jackson Says Michael's Children Saw Their Father's Dead Body
(07/02/09 10:21 AM)
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Michael Jackson's older brother Jermaine told The Today Show's Matt Lauer this morning that Paris, Prince, and Prince II saw their father's dead body recently as part of the grieving process.
Lauer ventured to Neverland Ranch for the first interview with any Jackson family member since the death of Michael Jackson.
Jermaine talked about his mother Katherine's reaction the news of her son's death last week:
"She was crying, saying he was dead. And Matt, to hear my mother say, 'Michael is dead,' to feel and hear the tone in her voice to say her child is dead, is nothing that anyone can ever imagine... He went too soon. I wish that it was me. I've always felt that I was his backbone, someone to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like Moses. The things he couldn't say, I would say them."
The elder Jackson also talked about the grieving process for the children, saying that a hospital therapist thought it best that Prince, Paris and "Blanket" see their father's dead body so they could understand what had happened.
"I know it's tough, but I think it was the best thing to do. At first I was against it, but what do you say if you don't show them?"

I wish people would just quit talking about Michael's problems, and just admire him through his music, because we all have things in our past that we have done wrong. Only God is perfect! Sorry for your family's lost may he have peace.
I just watched him on the BBC news rehearsing; he was amazing! The footage was from the day he died! Just a couple of hours before. I can't believe it! He looked completley healthy and well. I wish he was still here :( R.I.P The King Of Pop!
I so agree with Anonymous!He will always be part of my heart.May he rest in peace.
I bet nobody was as close to Mike starting out as I and the folks that February, 1969 night in Chicago, Illinois before God called Mike out of the darkness and into the light of stardom at the High Chapparell Night Club on the southside of Chicago on 79th and Stoney Island AND Then on to the Guys and Dolls on 69th I mean we were not in the audience there was only the dance floor and we as close to them as a light bulb in a switch. To have that memory in your head...............Priceless.
Nobody but God made Michael Jackson. his family belongs to Chicago, Illinois as Gary, Indiana. What was really happening in Gary, In you had to come to Chicago to get paid and Joe Jackson new that
What happened at the High Chapparell Night Club? Tell me more about it.
Michael Jackson deserved better in this world. Expectations killed him, the "righteous" killed him, those who covet money killed him, as well as his lost childhood. Only God knows the heart of MJ and God gave him to this world but for a short time for us to be in awe of him forever! You're a child again MJ...in the arms of God.
What is the web address to view the BBC video of Michael taped the morning of the day he passed? Michael Jackson forever you will R.I.P.
MJ was a wonderful person and we need to dewell on the good not the bad. Which one of you sin not,cast the first stone, let go, and let God do his pefect will into the heart of MJ fans. Maybe salvation for the world.
i think that every thing is about money because when he were a live they distroy them as much as they could,they didn't appreciate him enough that they are doing now because he is not alive. the first person in the whole world he loved was his mother, then hid kids meant a lot to him and diana rass and his friends. michael jackson is a true loving person in the world.a true humantrian person in the history,which everyone know's about him. michael jackson had nothing to do with any drug or anything. all the media wanted him to be out of this world that they can do anything they want to do. we have to believe that if we are michael's fan we have to be happy to make his spirit happy. ofourse we just lose him and we are going to miss him, even my self i can't stop my tears every night befor i fall in sleep or every time i hear the news about him. i just can't help my self, but we have to make our self strong enough and think that we missed some one who we drealy loved and we still do, and to remember that love is the answer to everything. they don't even have planned for his funeral and all these fight is about money, and contracts. his death is mystery to medi, because they wanted to be meystery to talk about. they say that his death is unclear to them. because they want to call themselves are ensent. michael's spirit is with us and he is watching what is going on in here. only he knows what really happend. we are not the judge. michael loved his mother, and his children, and his fan, so, we ara all his fan and we want happiness for his soul and spirit. his body is gone to soon, is under the conver and all atopcies might damged his body already. so let's celebrate tears as a happy tears for him. because iam sure that he is happy now.he might be sad because he left his family soon, his children, and his fan, but iam sure he is happy that he is in peace GOD will makesure that he is in peace and rest.michael, i just can't stop loving you. because the love is the answer to every thing.love you
As of now Michael Jackson is just fine. No more having to endure the horrible gossip about his nose etc. Perhaps only the people who are familiar with skin cancer can notice the signs. If stars told the complete truth about their illness, people would add to it anyway, so the poor man had a lot on his mind, including his death and his family. Family.They are important now and remember one day the children may read about their Dad and thank goodness most of what they read will be positive. We share the family's pain as much as we can, and please don't entertain the negative.
Whatever he did or didnt do. It does not really matter anymore. I hope he will be remembered for his musical genius and may he rest in PEACE.
I'm just sick to death of this whole thing. Let's move on. Enough about Michael Jackson. There are far more important things going on in this world now -- like how about N. Korea firing missiles at us? Most of Jacko's problems were of his own making, so I've little sympathy for his death. I feel bad for those children, though. The media circus is going to put them through the wringer. Everybody wants a piece of the pie, and the only ones who will truly suffer are those 3 innocent kids.

I"sorry about the king of pop MR.jackson he could sing and dance but god have him now he is in a better place singing and dancing ilove his song called(thriller and just beatit)janet jackson i love u...love jackson family..
ummm..not really..what problems did MJ make for hisself?..besides maybe the drugs..we all make mistakes..all he ever did was try to be a good person...and he was one...he never did anything to hurt anybody...yet he has been hurt his whole life..GOD knew what he was doing when he put MJ on this earth..Michael changed tha world,through his music and love..what he do that was so bad?..kuz he loved kids?he was still a child himself tryin to find peace..or was it kuz he tried to make his nose skinny so he would feel better about hisself?if your father called you big nose and said your nose was ugly and took away your childhood by beating you and not letting you play outside with other kids b/c you didnt have time to...how would you feel? name something really serious mike did wrong...stop being selfish put yourself in his shoes..and that was one thing Michael wasn't..have you ever caught him braggin bout how good he was?..no..you heard bout him giving a half million dollars to charity..all im getting at is he was a good man with good intentions..nd he is finally in a better place where he can be left alone and rest in peace...♥ Michael ♥
You can't buy a childhood....How nice, if all of us that were abused as children could. However a price is to be paid for all the ACTING OUT we did, just to survive the pain, the self-loathing, the emptyness. All the money in the world can't buy a pain killer to deaden the pain of child-abuse. I believe Michael, now wrapped in God's arms, you have been relieved of all the pain, and as the last tear drys, you have found peace. Thank you for the music...Bless you......
The jurors in the 2005 case killed him with their not guilty verdict. In the court of public opinion Michael did the crimes he was accused of whether he was convicted or not. And let's really look at it for what it is - why else would he need an alarm outside his bedroom door? Or the fact that his genitals i.e., identifying marks were described exactly by the victim? I loved his music as the rest of the world did, and I also believe he was a victim of an abusive father and passive mother. But I can't help but think of the last scene in the movie American Psycho, when the main character has done all the most horrific things right out in public as well as confessed to his "friends" his crimes, i.e., "why can't I invite children into my bed." And still the outside world ignored the truth letting him fall further into madness. Michael needed to be knocked out to get to sleep because I believe he couldn't bear to live his freakish life. Jail would have at least saved him from himself. I'm so very sad we let another celebrity commit public suicide for our own amusement. Wacko Jacko has joined Anna and Elvis who's next?
I don't understand the calls for ignoring the abuses and crimes that my have been committed here. It goes without question that MJ was a fabulous entertainer but that does not absolve him from wrong-doing nor the people who have fed off of him all these years. It is beyond my comprehension that actual fans want to let his enablers (at best) and abusers (at worst) go unpunished for the part they may have played in his death. I don't for one moment believe that those closest to him knew nothing of his problems. Truth betold they chose to turn a blind eye. Now the fans want to do the same. Choosing to ignore one side of his nature did not help him in life - if his problems had been addressed then he might still be with us now. Ignoring them in death, allows those who assisted him in this to get away with abuse. It does not detract from his talent to speak of his troubles, but it will allow it to continue for others too. Wise up. He had great talent but was seriously troubled and no-one cared enough to call the whistle on him and perhaps save his life. Silence isn't golden, it is deadly.
BB - You are using false information to support your ideas. There was never an alarm outside Michael's door - as proved in the trial. Also, one of the reasons why nothing criminal was filed against him in 92 is because the alleged vicitm's description of Michael's genitals did NOT match the photos taken of him, which was very problematic.
You also have to remember that a year or so after Michael settled that first case, the Evan Chandler, the father of Michael's accuser, sued Michael again in civil court. He sued Michael for himself (He did not personally receive any money in the settlement.) and did not file any kind of criminal charges even though he could have easily done so. This second lawsuit was immediately thrown out of court. In this lawsuit, the father wanted Michael to produce an album for him and distribute the album for sale all over the world. Look it up. It is public record.
For me, the second lawsuit alone indicates that this man was only interested in money.
everyone should sign a petition for michael to be buried at neverland. that place was his love and his escape. open it to the public so he can still be surrounded by laughing children running and playing in his creation.
Anonymous and All Fans who care---------- Michael moved out of Neverland. His own words were it was "violated". The pain it caused him, although he once had his happiest times there, were tainted by the charges against him for molestation. I don't think he would ever want to be buried at Neverland. If his family does bury him there, its all about the almighty $$$$$$. What a pity to dishonor his memory that way. His spirit will "NEVER" rest in peace at 'Neverland'.
Tammy you made me cry. Michael you are the best Anonymous July 2, 2009. f*** you. Red i agree with you.
Michael 4eva lives on in my heart regardless what you have 2 say about him I love him so much!!!!
BB why dnt you just shut up and stop saying crab about Michael I kno evrybody in the world have their opinions but u coulda kept urs 2 urself Michael has went thru a lot in his lyfe n its because of people lyk u sayin this n that about Michael he couldn't go anywhere do anything normal without bein aggravated by the press have u ever thought 4 once dat he had feelings??? You wouldn't want people 2 just be saying things lyk wat u have 2 say about them. Wonder wat people have 2 say about u Wen you die??? Yea so as I always say treat others as u would want 2 be treated.

Michael I love you and miss u dearly n u always will be n my heart idc wat ppl have 2 say about u I love u 4 u and only you my hearts go out 2 the Jackson Family THE DREAM LIVES ON!!!
WE SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED. First, let me say that I am a white, middle-class, professional, conservative female. If you had asked me a year ago if I was a Michael jackson fan, I would have said "absolutely not"! Because just looking at him made me sick. But I have to admit that the recent events have sparked my curiosity about him, and brought back memories of when my sister and I used to listen to his music and watch his videos as teenagers. I began to wonder what happened to him. I started watching some of his old stuff on YouTube yesterday and I came across a 9-part documentary called "Living with michael Jackson". I think everyone who has been judgemental of him should watch this. It has changed my thinking about him, and honestly I feel incredibly sad. We should all be ashamed. The doctors, the media, especially the concert promoters, and the public for having an insatiable desire to probe into his private life and make a mockery of his odd behavior. Sure, he did a few weird things, but like many other true "geniuses", including Einstein, odd behavior and strange physical appearance is characteristic of that type. Michael was a musical and choreagraphical genius, and unfortunately he was never allowed to be a normal child .. thus explaining his often child-like behavior. I believe that he may have even been mildly autistic. The tremendous stress that we ALL put him through is what drove him to have a need for the drugs. I don't blame him for wanting something to numb the pain, and who among us is without a secret sin or two? The legal battle, the financial stress, and the tremendous pressure to perform is what killed that poor soul, and honestly I am beginning to feel so sorry for him and that this happened. If you watch the documentary on YouTube and listen to all those interviews, and watch him and really listen to what he is saying, you will see just what a gentle, kind, innocent & frail person he was. May God forgive us ALL for what we did to him, and I hope he is finally at peace.
I am a 67 year old white female loyal fan of Michael Jackson. I am saddened and broken. Michael was a genius, but more than that, he was a human being that just wanted to be loved and to love. I think it would be really nice if he entertainment friends, namely Jamie Fox who claimed MJ for the black community, should put his money where his mouth is and put up some Money for Michael's Memorial Service.
EVERYONE should go on youtube & watch the documentary called "Living with Michael Jackson". Just do a search for it. It has 9 parts. WE killed him. The stress of having to perform up to everyone's expectations, along with the GREED of his promoters, his doctors, even some of those close to him is what killed him. Tammy is right. He was just a simple, loving soul who just wanted to be loved and accepted. If you watch the documentary you will hear him say in his own words what it was like when his father wouldn't even allow him to call him "daddy", and how he was whipped with a belt very fiercely when he didn't perform to perfection. Then he starts to cry and covers his face. It's so sad. He has the heart of a child and we all drove him to the drugs that killed him.
i loved Michael Jackson so much ,he was sensitive ,gentle and cared for people very very much ,we are innocent til proven guilty ,and now ,he is in Jehovahs Memory .he was raised by a wonderful mother who i feel will take care of his beloved children.the Bible reminds of that the dead are not conscious of anything ,and with their death their sins are paid for.So lets be sensitive to his children whio he dearly loved ,lets be sensitve to his mother ,and siblings !And i hope people will look to alternative methods ,for their care !!!!And i hope the medical doctors responsible for the propoful prescriptions ,etc ,get the DISCIPLINE they need !!!!Greed is a real terrible thing ,lets learn a lesson ,from this tragic untimely death!May Michael rest in peace ,and soon he will wake up ,as the Bible foretells ,living on a peaceful PERFECT earth ruled by Christ Jesus ,not by humans!!!All this was taught to Michael ,as youth .and Yes there will be a new system on this earth ,ruled perfectly from the heavens!!!Please read Revelation 21;3,4,this is what is TRUE!!!!!sincerly written by someone who loves Jehovah God ,and also loves Michael too .

I also grew up with Michael, and wrote a fan letter to him in the 80's. His father wrote back thanking me for writing. The world has lost a huge talent, and we all grieve for him. I think we all knew Michael lived a different life than the rest of us. That alone, does not entitle us to trash him. Have some respect, he left children & family who loved him behind. May God bless & keep you safe Michael. We will never forget you...

Leela Dinunzio u will one day found out the true abt michael JacksonS religue?? His left Jehovah witness on 21 Nov 2008 and became Muslim,
It is needless to say I wish people could find kindness and compassion in their hearts for one another, but there are so many that is cruel and unkind. I however, was not a big fan of MJ, but I did like some of his music. I also, have often wondered why he tried to change so much about himself and his appearance and finally realized that he was a wounded soul. I also realized that he had the right to change whatever he wished to about himself, because he was not harming anyone. i also realized that he donated so much to charities and other organizations that he gave beyond himself. Who are we to judge another human being? Also, who among us actually knew him, to make the unkind, cruel assumptions about him? Do we not realize he too have a family that is left here, and I am sure they hurt of all the unkind words being spoken about him. I pray that before so many of you place your post, please consider the feelings of his family and people that actually love him.
I'm not a MJ fan, however I do think he was an exceptional performer and should be remembered for the positive aspects in his life, the rest is destructive which finally destroyed a unique human being.
Yes MJ most probably did feel that Neverland had been 'violated' and who can disagree with that but for him not to be returned there lets the perpetrators win - why give them that power?
Bury MJ at Neverland and let his family, fans and friends (the genuine few) bring love and light back to him.
i think MJ was human just like any other human who is bound to peaks and downs, for his weaknesses, lets let them go coz it is too late for rectifying but for his genius, pliz lets applause and emulates his efforts.. he is been arare species, trained alot of what we call nubmber one singers, then how about the master..? let pray for the kid to leave an upright life, pick on their fathers talent may be history to repaet its self.
we all come from GOD and to him back we go.. despite of material wealth and possetions, we all look alike.. MJ has shown love for people and nature.
may his soul rest in peace

In response to BNS - Just to set the record straight Michael had to submit photo's of his genitalia for the 2005 trial, not the earlier one as you stated. Also it was confirmed by the lead detective in the 2005 case that there WAS an alarm that monitored any activity approaching his bedroom door. Know the facts, that's the problem - blind faith. It's the so called "fans" who will not face the truth that contributed to his death. Just like those around him who enabled the drug abuse and weird actions which led to the "Wacko Jacko" nickname, people who were supposed to love him the most let him down.
the family have my blessings so sorry for your lost and may god be with the children though all of this. momma jackson hold your head high and be strong as yu always have been. god will not put more on you then you a can bare
Ok i'm a big Michael Jackson fan and I feel bad for everything he went through, but whats with all these people saying WE killed him and WE should be ashamed? Michael is my favorite artist of all time and no disrespect to him but every man is responsible for his own actions and ultimately his own fate. Michael chose to handle his stress the way he did, he chose to turn to drugs. I'm sorry for him and his family and I really wish he never died but the fact remains, nobody was responsible for his death but Michael Jackson. I hope whoever enable him gets what they deserve aswell but ultimately Michael Jackson made his own decisions in life. He was an incredible performer and an incredible human being but don't paint a selfish image of my idol by blaming everyone else for his decisions.

Every needs to see Maury Povich's "Michael Jackson: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See" on Youtube.
It show blatantly how MARTIN BASHIR lied and destroyed Michael's life. I will BOYCOTT ABC NEWS, like thousands of others as long as Mr. Bashir is at ABC. We love you, Michael, and thank your for sharing your many gifts with us.
People let Michael Jackson rest at least now. He never had any rest while he was alive and neither had his children.THEY ARE JUST KIDS & THIS MAN WAS THEIR FATHER!! Respect their feelings, pain, if nothing else. Don't talk about what he did that the world didnt like/agree or whatever. Talk about how kind and thoughtful he was, how he faught so hard to see kids happy. NO SMART COMMENTS EITHER! his children don't need that now. Pray for them and for yourselves, after all no matter if you're rich or poor, if you believe or not we ALL need God Almighty and one day we will all answer to Him.
MICHAEL IS IN GOD'S HANDS NOW, LET THE MAN REST IN PEACE!! EVERYBODY HAS A PAST AND PERSONAL PROBLEMS, LET'S MOVE PAST THAT STUFF AND FOCUS ON THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE KIDS!! DEBBIE ROWE HAS NO BUSINESS HAVING THEM-SHE WASN'T EVEN A PART OF THEIR LIVES(SHE WAS QUOTED AS SAYING"I DID NOT HAVE THE KIDS TO BE A MOTHER"). IF KATHERINE JACKSON HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE PART OF THEIR LIVES-THEN SHE DESRVES TO RAISE THEM-WITH HELP FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEM BEST-THEIR NANNY!!
I certainly DON'T FEEL that katherine and Joe Jackson deserve the kid's... look at the abuse and trauma they put their own children through raising them!!! I feel for the children,, BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON,,, HE'S F****** DEAD, LET HIM BE DEAD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....
I loved michael so so much and i still do even when he is no more. To me he was God sent. I've been listening to his music fo so long and anytime i do i learn something new about him. but most of all, the greatest things i learned from him was love, honesty, truth, humbleness i can go on and on. His life was just an amazing one. But his death so sad, he really did not deserve that kind of death, his life was taking by doctors that don't think twice, that don't know God and think that they hold the power in their hands, they make people believe in them but at the end it's destructions and unbearable pains that they bring to us. And I am very sad that this has happen to our brother Michael Jackson. And i'm really pleading to everyone that reads this my comment that you do please keet Michael Jackson in your prayers and have a strong beliefs in yourselves that prayer is the only medicine and solution to our problems. All the best to the Jackson family.
Thank you for reading.
I grew up fed on a lot of media distortions about Michaels life. My opinion changed when I watched one Oprah's interview of Michael and how he explained some of the myths surrounding him. He was an admirable, humble, and loving person. I never looked back since and have focused on his strengths in performance, music, and the list is long. He was a great person and despite the media bias we love him to bits. Michael must have believed the saying "whatsoever your hands findeth to do, do it with all your might." Our condolensces to the family.
I think that Michael was murdered for SONY /ATV catalog
also I think that Debbie Rowe should get her kids back, with little Blanket, she said she is willing to take him.
She is really good person, she loved Michael very much. She was always there when Michael needed her.
I coul like to go there at funeral.
iam super fan,oh shit!! i live in Brazil!!:( :( :(
Shit!!!
i could like to see Michael last time,just one...in my life :(
my passaport have problem.
shitttttttt
R.I.P Michael Jackson his is a better place. I will keep the Jackson's family in my prayers. Michael is in a better place.
RIP Michael.
People need to stop calling him a "musician" though. He was a SINGER and an ENTERTAINER ... but he NEVER picked up a musical instrument in his life - as far as I know! Thus he is NOT a "musician"!
How in the world can anyone say that michael looked ok and healthy days before his death. People, get real! his wt was 112lbs at 5'10" I'm the same ht, and skinny as hell and weigh 165... don't think he would of lasted 50 concerts!
Michael would not have been able to care for his children if he was a molester. I dont think debbie rowe, the child protective services and the DA will allow a cihild molester around children even if they happen to be his children. Michael was only guilty of trusting those american lying leeches who wanted his money.
You american haters should read the comments of those russian fans and fans from around the world. I dont know why americans wanted to bring down michael when he is the best goodwill ambassador that america ever had.
He like being around children because they are innocent and has no vested interest except those two leeches who got leeches as parents. Michael was working since he was 6 years old and never had any experiences being a child so he tried to experience the childhood he missed when he was rich enough to have time to play
American leeches and media killed michael. I doubt anyone can take the public humiliation, the hurt and the betrayal that michael had endured. I bet you haters probably would have killed yourself or resorted to drugs. I am surprised his heart didn't give up earlier during his trial. The things he went trough will weaken any heart except maybe hearts by haters like you
I am asian and i am 56 years old. My mom who is 86, may daughter who is 33 and my grand daughter who is 12 were saddened by michael's death. I have been crying since he died and i have never cried like this even with my cousin's death just 2 months ago. Michael was able to cross race, nationalities, age, sex, religion and political affiliation with his music, and goodness. I guess i am neither black nor white that is why i can relate to michael. One of our musicians in my country even made a song as a tribute to micahael. That is how much michael is loved Michael would have been a hero in my country because of his accomplishment and goodness. But american haters are so judgmental and full of hate. No wonder you are reaping the hate that you sow
Farrah has her own thread and bringing up farrah in michael's thread is just being malicious Let the fans from outside the US grieve for michael Sad that we were not able to defend him when he was alone
You haters won't be able to get away with your hateful comments on youtube. The fans there are mostly from the outside the US and they most are even in their 20's
sorry for my typos

Michael was just found to be healthy and fit in his autopsy. So stop feeding lies anonymous
Michael's Mom is not the only Mother who has ever lost a child. Look at all the boys in Iraq whose Mothers were told of their deaths. Michael chose his lifestyle and lived the way he wanted. The blame should not be on anyone else. Yes, He was a good singer and dancer but he got away from that for other things. The rich sure do love to sensationalize. I just hope the children are not split up.
Hey BB... the FIRST accuser has recanted and admitted his FATHER put him up to LYING about being molested by MJ!!! Stop spreading the LIES!! you racist a$$hole
I loved Michael, I think he was a loving person. I don't think he did any of those things, he was just misunderstood. He was the King of pop.
My deepest sympathy to the family.
I have important info. to share with you. Please email me. My last comments were not posted, why?
I have a beautiful burial Garden at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills in front of the replica of the Old North Church of Boston and the Washington Monumet with a 4ft brick wall and Italian marble bench in THE COURT OF LIBERTY. It is selling for 300k, I'm asking 200K. Endowment fee included. GOD BLESS YOU, LOVE, ANA
i am really heartbroken about the tragic death of Michael Jackson.my 9 yr old feels the same way.we adore him and will miss him dearly.he will forever b n our hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!R.I.P. FOREVER YOU ARE A TRUE ANGEL IN LIFE AS WELL AS IN DEATH
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD TAKES CARE OF FOOLS AND BABIES!!!!IF SOMEONE OR PEOPLE HAD SOMETHING TO DO W HIS DEATH GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS!!!!!!!!!!!
MJ was a ugly scary man, he wasn't accepted in the black community so he got some medical treatment to become white, and yet was not accepted among the white. His "talent" if you can call it that... was nothing! To his kids I give them my sympathy and hope they don't live a life like his were he causes his own death by causing his own stress. Has for the people who tried to convict him of molestation I mean come on no one will take that seriously he could get anything he would want in the world why would he go to little kids? r.i.p Micheal Jackson.
MJ is not dead! he faked his death---why do I know? ask me-------and the rest who really knows why MJ gave up his popularity into silence and peace somewhere else but not heaven ----------
Wow,,so many of you need to to get a grip on yourself. Life is all about choices...MJ was great singer but he made poor choices. Sometimes the choices we make cause us to lose everything including our lives. Time to move on....
If everyone was so TRULY devestated and DEVOTED to MJ why were you not out buying his records BEFORE he died....because you live in a fantasy world and now that something TRAGIC happened, all of a sudden you are DEVASTATED and A PART OF IT....sick, sick people
I lost a family member, friend and great musical genious. My heart is filled with sadness that Mike is gone. Michael loved people, he was a giver and a child at heart. I know he is living in paradise with no more hurt, fear and shame. Micheal won the battle after all, he has the victory now!! Rest in peace sewwt prince. I will see u again.
Rest in peace sweet Prince. You showed the world how its supposed to be done, with Love. Love covers a multitude of sin. Love casts out fear. Shine on sweetheart!! Live on Live on! Your soul is resting with Jesus. May your family, children and friends find solice and peace, by the music, love and passion you had for this world. even when you didnt get it in return. Micheal you will forever live in our hearts.
I agree with LC6624 on the part about supporting MJ before he died.
R.I.P MJ. I Remeber your Visit to the land of braves Namibia and those memories lives on!! You inspired today's generation,may God comfort your familly and kids.
He died as a muslim shame on him after what those people have done to our country
THIS IS SUCH A CRUEL WORLD,YOUR DAMNED IN LIFE AS IN DEATH!!!!I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY OF THE NEGATIVE THINGS YOU F****** IDIOTS ARE SAYING!!!! MICHEAL JOSEPH JACKSON IS AND WILL BE THE BEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIMES!!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER M.J!!!!!SO TO ALL THE HATERS,"LEAVE HIM ALONE,JUST STOP DOGGIN HIM AROUND"!!!!!!!!!RIP IN PEACE KING OF POP 1958-2009.
we all fall short of the glory of god i wonder how u would be in his shoes how he lived is between him and god but we all answer for our own sins my heart and prayers is with his children and family may god give them comfort in there hearts and minds to endure the loss of there son, brother,and DADDY! loved ones will miss him. his fans know the loss god be with them all R.I.P michael may the lord have mercy on us all
es una pena que el rey del pop este ahora muerto y sin poder disfrutar de la niñes que tanto decio por otra parte hay que recordar sus palaras que siempre que estes bien habra un estupido que se encargue de undirte solo le pido a la gente que lo insulta que por lo menos respete nuestro dolor larga vida al rey michael jackson 1
BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, BLAHHHHHHHHHH, BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......ENOUGH MJ S**T~!
I AM SOOO SICK OF IT, SOME OF YOU TREAT HIM AS IF HE WERE ACTUALLY GOD.
I NEVER CARED FOR HIS TYPE OF MUSIC BUT, HE SURE COULD DANCE.
I HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL FEEL HE WAS GUILTY OF SOME TYPE OF LUDE ACTS WITH MINOR CHILDREN. HE WAS A PLASTIC SURGERY JUNKIE AND A DRUG JUNKIE.
HE HASN'T DONE S**T SINCE THE EARLY 90'S EXCEPT FREAK PEOPLE OUT.
I DO FEEL SORRY FOR THE KIDS THOUGH, THEY SEEM TO LOVE HIM. I SURE HOPE HE DIDN'T DO ANY LUDE ACTS ON THEM.
WHY AM I EVEN WRITING ANYTHING....S**T NOW I'VE BECOME A PART OF THIS ONGOING BS...GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON PEOPLE. HE DIED, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE SOMEDAY....MEDIA OVERKILLLLLLL~!!!!
I Love Michael Jackson. Although I prefer his earlier music with the Jackson 5, before his image was tainted. As I type I'm listening to Corner of The Sky. =( Guess now he's found his corner...
I'm not saying the man did no wrong but he didn't do all the wrong people claim he did. He was naive, yes. He was odd, yes. He had the mind and heart of a child. He upheld the innocence of a child. Thinking that if you do good for the world... the world will love you in return. Again & again he was proven wrong. We did not kill him because none of us knew of his addiction. But we did drive the man insane. Not all of the blame's on us. *ahem* Joe Jackson (-_-) Michael was GORGEOUS before the surgeries! females, you agree with me? Yet Joe spent Michael's whole life telling him he was ugly. When I was younger I use to wish I could change my nose too because my mother continuously called me ugly for it. Insecure ppl tend to pick at others, I've learned. Unfortunately Michael never did. Regarding the charges against Michael... those of you that kept tabs on the trial; did you miss the fact that Evans Chandler claimed Michael did not touch him? Or that 1 of the other boys told a dean that he hadn't touched him either? Which is why Michael was found not guilty. Michael Jackson wanted to believe there was good in the world; a fact that he had to learn the hard way is not true. I love that man with all my heart but he did some rather stupid things. Though I don't believe he did anything to those kids, they should not have been in his bed to begin with. It seemed like he was trying to give people the life he wasn't allowed to have as a youngster. We didn't kill him, the doctors didn't kill him... his kindness did. Michael Jackson was never taught life's number one lesson: you have to love yourself before you can love others. You have to think of yourself first then you can assist others.
His heart killed him.

"Maybe now Michael, they'll leave you alone"- Marlon Jackson

I think I know, who Blankets Mummy is: Look at Omer, then look at Blanket. I hope they are full brothers, as Omer will be able to help Blanket come to terms with his Daddie's death. And it will help when it comes to keeping them all together, as he is 25yrs old, it will be extra help for grandma, plus she will gain a Grandson. how nice after all these years, if I am right. I do not print this to get recognition from anyone, I just cannot believe that no-one else has realised this could be true, not even brother TiTo. I only realised this evening, when I was reading about the children being 100% Michaels, by TiTo Jackon himself. Michael I love ya! I have good feeling about the outcome.
Michael was a gift from God, sent for us all to share. We should cherish the things that he gave us, the music the dance, & the flare. & on stage that stare, would make your knees go weak. I only saw him on tv. So when he announced his come back, I couldn't believe my look, I was going to by tickets for the 02, My heart began to race, my chance had come. Mum used to say good things come to those who wait, I thought boy shes right. And before I could get to order them you went and passed away. I have cried for weeks at some point every single day. My chance had gone. But still believe that Mum was right. Cus one day up in heaven, you'll turn to me and say, your chance has come to see me, within these pearly gates.
