Melli — he is what his fans made him. Internationally famous at 9 years old — too much pressure. He didn’t handle it well, but he could sing and he could dance — and we might all keep in mind he was never found guilty of pedophilia and it has been YEARS since any new allegations have been made. I think the public convicted him even though the courts didn’t. (Please note, I did not proclaim him innocent, I just said I am not in a position to know.)
We are in Italy with our son, he called me this morning to tell me that Michael is dead. I just can’t believe it. We saw him life in 1988 in Brussels. What an artist and performer !!! It’s just so sad that he died so young.

Yeah, Rest in peace. I’ll mourn whenever I can stop thinking of jokes for the occasion.

Rest in Peace Michael. You were “Bad”. The one and only King of Pop!!!
Thom — an icon passes.
It’s a sad day. 🙁

Cherie — like Elvis, we’ll never know if he could have made a comeback, and now his legend will never die.
The instigator of a big piece of culture has gone, but I think he has gained a spark of immortality.
Anthony North’s last blog post..MICHAEL JACKSON
Tony — dieing before the England concerts might be what saved him. Had he lived and not made those shows, who knows what his “fame” would have been.
Thom — I wasn’t a great Michael Jackson fan, but he could dance and — once upon a time — he could sing.
Have mercy on me… I have a HARD time being SAD about this. I pray for his soul… but I truly wonder HOW he will be immortalized…

Michael made an Impact that was for sure. I was never a big fan, but a lot were. God be with his Family.

Thumbelina’s last blog post..Friday Skies (Portuguese Style) – Skywatch
I truly was a fan, but I don’t think he handled the fame and fortune very well. To me, he really was wacko jacko, especially in most recent years.
