I had to drive 30 miles home tonight because I wanted to cry in private over Michael Jackson.

I watched everything from his family at their house leaving till the very end of the memorial. It was very hard for me because I had people around cracking the cruelest jokes around which I finally just started coming back with 'Ohh youre just jealous' which put a quick stop to it. I had to hold back tears SO many times.

What fascinated me the most about Michael Jackson was the fact that he used his amazing talent to he change and inspire the world. He did it at SUCH a young age too. Michael has a heart that I have not seen in any other musician out there.

"In songs like “We are the World,” and “Man in the Mirror,” Michael spoke to the hearts of people and made powerful statements about the need for greater unity, compassion and peace in the world.

Much of the proceeds of his records and tours were donated to charities devoted to African relief, college scholarships and HIV/AIDS. In 1992, he founded the Heal the World Foundation to relieve the suffering of children around the world.

His “Dangerous World Tour” that year gave him the opportunity, in his own words, to “visit children around the world, as well as spread the message of global love, in the hope that others will be moved to do their share to help heal the world.” In 2000, the Guinness Book of World Records cited Michael Jackson for holding the world record for the “Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star.”


He inspires me to be a better person and for that I give a 1000 thank yous to him.

It was sad to hear the performers pain through their voices and eyes. When Mariah cracked during the first few words, usher cried towards the end, his brother Jermaine wiped away the tears after singing Michaels favorite song...hearing Brooke Sheilds speach...ugh it just brought tears to my eyes evertime.


It also killed me to see that little girl hurt SO much. I lost my mother last october and I was 20 years old. I could not imagine loosing the one parent I knew at the tender age of 7, 11, and 12. Little Blanket look so scared and sad as he mostly hid behind the pamplet clinching the toy version on his father. Prince looked very held together, very strong and dignified. His children were beautiful! It may just be me wanting but I did see resemblance in the kids to Michael.

I must admit that I can not wait to hear his new releases! I love MJ from the time he was a little boy till now. Ive loved him since I can remember. I feel such a loss for someone that played such a big part in my life..

he was so self-centered 20% of his $ went to charity... hmmm

And just where did you get this information? He died heavily in debt. He squandered millions.

From CNN.
They announced after the court thing yesterday, That the mother of his children is getting 40% and the children get 40% and 20% go to charity.
and never land go to his lawyer or something like that.

I did not mourn the celebrity i mourned the "man" who was loved by his family and dearly loved by his precious children.
I saw the death of a son, brother, father and not the celebrity.
To grieve and have sympathy for the ones left who will cry tonight and can not find sleep to rest.
I grieve and feel for his young children who in days to come will painfully realize he is really gone and will never return.
I felt their sorrow and tears and i cried with them as the words of those who loved him tugged at my heart.

**Rest in Peace** and God be with those that cry in these late hours for the one they lost and loved
Comfort and keep them watching over them till the morning sun rises to face another day without him.
**Give them strength oh Lord I Pray**

I was not a hugh fan of Michael Jackson, but I too mourned the man. After all is said and done he did alot with his talent. They say he was brillant. Look bakc through history all the brillant ones were considered weird, or insane, but whos to say what that amount of greatness brings with it. I am not one to throw stones I try not to judge les I be judged God bless his family and children. Hopefully they will be able to move on without the publicity that tormented their young lives so far.
