Judith Hill: “Heal The World” Singer From Jackson Memorial Revealed

7/7/09, 7:11 pm EST

When the all-star Michael Jackson memorial ceremony in Los Angeles came to an end today, millions of fans watching the event became curious about the woman who sang lead on Jackson’s “Heal the World.” The mystery singer was Judith Hill, a Pasadena, California-based vocalist who was recruited to be one of the backup singers for Jackson’s This Is It! concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Hill wowed the crowd and the millions watching around the world with her rendition of the Dangerous song, but her identity had most viewers baffled — the “We Are the World” and “Heal the World” performers weren’t identified in the handouts at the Staples Center or on any other documents distributed to the press.

(Check out photos from Michael Jackson’s all-star memorial.)

According to the bio on Hill’s official Website, “Judith was born in Los Angeles and raised in a family of musicians. Her mother is an immigrant from Japan who met her father in a funk band in the 1970s.” Hill is described as discovering her love of music at an early age while growing up in a deeply religious household, which led her to attend the Christian university Biola University in Southern California. Hill’s bio says the singer next headed to France after graduation to perform with French singer Michel Polnareff.

“France is where I collected my stories,” Hill writes. “It was everything from finding true love, to sitting on the curb with gypsies, to running away from thugs (don’t ask), to just taking in the beauty of such an amazing country. I came back rich.” From there, Hill returned to the States, begin work on her own album (three songs are currently streaming on Hill’s MySpace page) and ultimately became a crew member on what’s described as the biggest production in concert history, Michael Jackson’s This Is It! concerts.

(Revisit Michael Jackson’s life and career, in photos.)

On June 8th, Hill announced on her official Website that she would be joining the cast of Jackson’s run at London’s O2 Arena. “Judith will be touring with Michael Jackson in a few weeks. You can catch her on stage in London at the 02 Arena,” reads a post. Sadly, the This Is It! run was canceled, but Hill and her fellow crew members played an important role in today’s memorial service, and Hill will likely feature in the tribute concert AEG Live is reportedly planning using the This Is It! production. Rolling Stone has reached out to Hill for comment, but she has not yet responded to our request for an interview. Go inside the Jackson memorial in our full report from the scene.

I thought Judith was stunning and that her Heal the World rendition at the memorial was absolutely beautiful – in fact the highlight of all the perforamnces, no matter how great the others were.
And to think like most of the world, I had never heard of here or knew of her existence. Why is she not a star ?? **

Be Bop | 7/7/2009, 8:03 pm EST

I thank you, as you seem to be the first post about the identity of this great singer. I’m glad that Kenny Ortega, who I assume plucked her from obscurity of the choices Michael Jackson made, had the wisdom to honor both of them. The Tribute was beautiful.

Nancy Mahoney, Reno, NV | 7/7/2009, 8:05 pm EST

I thought she was stunning too – she was a great end to a wonderful tribute.

Sandy | 7/7/2009, 8:05 pm EST

Judith Hill was a delight. What a remarkable voice!

Lemoko Tahiti | 7/7/2009, 8:07 pm EST

Thank you! so much! for this post ! I had the same feeling …who’s that singer , so nice , so vocally gifted…and this post is answering my questionning. Thank you god (or else) to provide people that are committed to the news!

Sandy | 7/7/2009, 8:07 pm EST

I’ve been searching the web for info on her for an hour. I want to see more.

Maxine Miller, Brampton Canada | 7/7/2009, 8:14 pm EST

I had to go and look her up because I thought that she sounded so good and I had never seen her b4…

Shirley, Toronto Canada | 7/7/2009, 8:27 pm EST

Wow, instantly I asked who was that singer? She sang “Heal the World” beautifully. I wouldn’t be surprise if she gets a recording contract in the near future. I think she is awesome!

jettowetto | 7/7/2009, 8:40 pm EST

I thought I was the only one who thought “that girl” was so good with her Heal the World rendition. Now we have a name – Judith Hill. I’m sure this will not be the last time we’ll hear of her. Amazing how MJ can pick a real talent and recognize it and allow them to shine. RIP Michael. May our dear Lord wrap you in His arms and grant you peace forever.

JAH | 7/7/2009, 8:58 pm EST

I also thought Judith’s performance was amazing and wondered who she was to the point I went searching. The memorial was a class act and Judith’s performance of “Heal The World” was exceptional.

Hilda Grimes | 7/7/2009, 9:04 pm EST

Thanks for sharing the name of the mysterious womdan with the melodious voice. Judith Hill is a truly gifted vocalist and I would love to hear more and more and still more of her sensational singing voice. Not only is she beautiful but she has exceptional talent and is naturally passionate with an ability to woo her listeners.

Angel Atomate | 7/7/2009, 9:11 pm EST

when she opened her mouth i immidiately said..”who is that girl”!?!??! her voice is beautiful and i googled her right away lol. She has great talent..i hope she goes far

Stacy | 7/7/2009, 9:15 pm EST

Judiths performance of Heal The World deeply moved me, Michael would have been proud of her. Im sure it was a bittersweet performance for her, but im certain just like me the world wants to hear more from this mysterious talent!

Anonymous | 7/7/2009, 9:23 pm EST

lol so i wasn’t the only one who didnt know who the “mysterious” woman was.
great performance~
thanks for sharing the info.

Hamilton, SP - Brasil | 7/7/2009, 9:26 pm EST

All sung tributes were beautiful, but the interpretation of Judith really caught my attention, her wonderful voice and singing softly to have a special touch to Heal the World!

Nanner | 7/7/2009, 9:30 pm EST

AHA! The mystery is revealed. I, like many, was wondering who she was. Thanks!

watchman | 7/7/2009, 9:39 pm EST

yes, I do agree that she got a great voice and perform marvellously at the memorial. but her talent and the fact that she is good is not surprising at all. what surprises are the number of naive, stupid comments made here. in the music industry, most often it is the hype and marketing that make or break anyone. it is the industry insider who decide who to market and groom into as a star. pure talent will not get you far. it is a sad but true fact. so, to see comments like “why isn;t she a star. why didn’t I heard of it is silly and naive?”. there are thousands of others similarly talented people all over the world who never got the recognition they deserved, and the opportunity to shine. but, things has changed for Judith Hill. she will become big after this once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough appearance.

MJ knows talent. simply beautiful, miss hill. physically and vocally.

naniroo | 7/7/2009, 9:44 pm EST

I’m glad I found the site that identified the singer Judith Hill!!!!! I was scratching my head and searching the net at the same time!!!!
She’s gonna be BIG!!

Anonymous | 7/7/2009, 9:55 pm EST

Thank you for revealing the name of this singer who performed with such passion the song, “Heal the World”. She may not have accomplished her goal to perform on Michael’s comeback tour but she was able to have the performance of a lifetime at his memorial service. I wish Judith success and I am sure Michael was honored by your presence. You touched our hearts! Michael, RIP.

spikeymom | 7/7/2009, 9:57 pm EST

Thanks for this info. I had been looking on the web for ages trying to find out who this singer is.
She was amazing today. Very gifted.

billy | 7/7/2009, 10:10 pm EST

i want to know did michael jackson discover this judith hill. is that why she had the lead on this song. i was vary touched by this performance.

Steven Martinez | 7/7/2009, 10:12 pm EST

Ya… Represent BIOLA Girl!!!

Finally satisfied!! | 7/7/2009, 10:15 pm EST

i ahve been searchin to find out who she is, since she sang today at the service. i wanted to know soooo bad and am thankful i know now!! she’s beautiful, and a great singer!!!!

Mercy Garner | 7/7/2009, 10:19 pm EST

We are so proud of Judith! I am blessed to have known her for a few years now, and it was so amazing to see her sing at the memorial. I am so glad the rest of the world finally got to hear her! She is a beautiful person, inside and out. :)

Tom Meek, Los Angeles, CA | 7/7/2009, 10:19 pm EST

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, hearing and writing about Judith Hill for the last two years…and believing she was the person I heard of many hundreds in L.A. most likely to become a huge star. Her vocal gift in live performance is truly extraordinary, and she sings with a sophistication that is remarkable for having just turned 25 years old. She is also very wide in her musical training and knowledge almost unmatched of anyone I’ve ever encountered. It is tragic that it took this event to bring her gift to the attention of the larger world, but may well be one of the true lasting benefits of same.

Judith had just finished her first solo CD a few weeks ago when she got the call for Michael’s London shows, and I had every confidence that as soon as she stepped on stage to duet with Michael, she would knock people out. Now she will almost certainly have that opportunity regardless.

More videos of a recent Judith solo performance have been posted on YouTube as of today.

Hats off to Judith, she looked and sounded great. But to be honest I was more interested in the hot blonde to her left, on the right side of the TV screen. Foxy!

Blake | 7/7/2009, 10:21 pm EST

Judith Hill also sings with the band Katisse. I highly recommend you check them out! Katisse.com

Frances | 7/7/2009, 10:34 pm EST

I agree with the majority here! I have been trying to figure out who she was for the longest! I think her performance honored Michael well! As someone commented before, her light (as well as the young 12-yr-old performer) will continue to shine based on this divine connection she made with the KING OF POP!

Lauren Thomas | 7/7/2009, 10:48 pm EST

I had also been trying to find out who she was as soon as the performance was over. Judith was astonishing. She sounded great.

Elizabeth Greene | 7/7/2009, 10:53 pm EST

Yes with Judith Hill and the great Michael Jackson knew her talent.Wish her all the best.

serena | 7/7/2009, 11:23 pm EST

i was struck by her voice and her looks, and to think she performed “heal the world” solo…beautiful beautiful performance…

Patricia | 7/7/2009, 11:28 pm EST

Gorgeous! Beautiful to watch, beautiful to hear. She might be one of MJ’s legacies.

drummergrrl | 7/7/2009, 11:43 pm EST

Judith Hill is one of my favorite unknown artists (who apparently is not unknown anymore)… she is amazing!! I am sooo happy for her!! Check out her “Basket People” song with Katisse Buckingham on youtube. Go JUDITH!!

bev | 7/7/2009, 11:48 pm EST

and who was the the blonde with straight hair in sunglasses? anywone know?

Mike A. | 7/7/2009, 11:49 pm EST

Yeah, i was blown away as well by her voice, her style, and her look. Listening to her, i thought i had heard her voice before, i was thinking Joanne Rosario/Corrine Rae Bailey/Nicole C. Mullen, then i realized, i did not know her at all. She will go very far.

Mel, Mumbai, India | 7/7/2009, 11:52 pm EST

I watched a repeat show of MJ’s tribute this morning, and I knew they’d perform ‘Heal the World’ towards the end of the show, but I was expecting singing celebrities to be leading the song. Instead it was lead by an unknown face with such presence and such a strong and beautiful voice. I immediately goggled to know who she was – and the first hit lead to this site. Judith Hill.

As the entire show was star studded, I am extremely surprised yet thrilled that they let the last 2 songs be lead by relatively unknown singers. Hats off to the Jackson family and the organizers.

mc yang minneapolis, mn | 7/7/2009, 11:58 pm EST

I had to find out who she was after I saw her on tv. Amazing…I agree completely..why isn’t she a star! She’s beautiful and talented…I’m glad you gave some info on her asap.

Hasan | 7/8/2009, 12:08 am EST

Whoever asked this question:

“and who was the the blonde with straight hair in sunglasses? anywone know? ”

That was Britney Spears.

Michael | 7/8/2009, 12:14 am EST

What is the name of the blonde lady with glasses next to Judith ?

Thanks | 7/8/2009, 12:22 am EST

Now she has style… Although a home going service…. I think her performance today really has exposed her to the rest of the world… I was asking all around to see who she was….. Thanks!

Sharai Bravo | 7/8/2009, 12:36 am EST

Just curious..
is that her dad Peewee in the back for the second video playing bass?
cuz it sure looks like him lol
I just saw her @ the 4th of July @ church! I had no idea that she was given an opportunity to pay tribute to MJ like that. awesome job, girl!
we all knew you would finally make it!!!

Matt, Toronto, Canada | 7/8/2009, 12:41 am EST

Judith you sang so well. You touched millions today. I wish you all the very best. You are beautiful.

Dorothy | 7/8/2009, 12:45 am EST

I had the privilege of going to school with Judith. She played piano in the jazz band at Biola, and we always did vocal features to show her off. She’s so talented, and I’m so happy for her!

Lora | 7/8/2009, 12:46 am EST

I wondered who she was and was impressed with her singing. That’s the kind of thing Michael Jackson did, he recognized talent because he knew talent.

I did the same as many ppl on here-I was immediately intrigued by Judith’s style and her voice was simply gorgeous. I looked her up and can’t wait to see what comes of this. She deserves to be out there-recording!!

I hope we see more of Judith Hill, she was stunning and talented. Loved her hair and look. Hope this event really boosts her career.

fusion07mp3 | 7/8/2009, 12:52 am EST

The young blonde woman who sang with Judith Hill was not Britney Spears. It was instead a young Austrailan guitarist named Orianthi, who also played guitar for much of the memorial, and was slated to be the guitarist for the London O2 shows.

Paul, Montpellier France | 7/8/2009, 12:59 am EST

To Be-Bop: She wasn’t plucked from obscurity. She had already performed in front of a LIVE audience of one million people at the Eiffel Tower in Paris as part of Michel Polnareff’s backing choir. If you recognize the calibre of the musicians Polnareff chose to tour with – Virgil Donati, Bunny Brunel, Tony MacAlpine, Mino Cinelu… then you’ll know that he chose only the best of the best. So it’s not such a surprise to us to see Judith Hill singing at Michael Jackson’s Memorial. And she sang beautifully.

Willy D | 7/8/2009, 1:01 am EST

I know Judith and her family. She is a composer, keyboard player, singer, and comes from a Godly family. Judith composed a symphony at the age of 21. Her performance today was a gift that Michael Jackson left for her. She was scheduled to sing “Heal The World” in the London shows, so the producers of today’s memorial did not change Michael’s wishes. Just another example of Michael Jackson’s kind heart.

Joel A., USA So Cal, CA | 7/8/2009, 1:01 am EST

I, like most of you who reached this site, wanted to find out who the unknown singer was in the beautiful Memorial Tribute to Michael Jackson ending with the songs “We are the World” and “Heal the World”… answer: Judith Hill. Her voice was amazing and I truly believe her voice gently carried the emotions felt about Michael Jackson’s impact not only their life but the world through his music and performance. An Icon, a Legend, a life that will not be remembered but will live on forever… Michael Jackson.

Thanks for the answer to my question. I’ve been googling for over 60 minutes to identify Judith. She was great!

Marty Carissa | 7/8/2009, 1:58 am EST

I am trying to figure out who the guy was singing with Judith. He was the one the really caught our attention – didn’t recognize him but he was amazing. Can any tell us who he was????? Please.

JudyM | 7/8/2009, 2:32 am EST

I’m glad to know about Judith Hill – she is fantastic – but I also want to know the names of the other back-up singers. Who is the guy with the hat and glasses (not sunglasses) who also sang with Judith, and was Trey Lorenz one of the other back-up singers on “Heal the World” and “Human Nature”?

Saltspring Canada | 7/8/2009, 2:37 am EST

Thank you to the Jackson family for letting the world share their grief, hope and love.
To Judith thank you for sharing your beautiful voice – I’m sure Micheal was smiling at the unbelievable job you and the others did. Peace to all

Robert D | 7/8/2009, 2:48 am EST

Absolutely beatiful tribute to Michael, Judith — the same beaty I am sure Michael saw in you when he asked you to perform with him. I wish you much success in the future! Bon Voyage! :)

Who was the Blonde | 7/8/2009, 3:44 am EST

Judith Hill was magic on stage. Michael would have been proud of her. Who was the blonde? I noticed it was asked a few times. Anybody know?

Joe in Munich | 7/8/2009, 4:21 am EST

Judith Hill is a great singer and she really pulled it off! Hope she get a career boost,!
The blonde is the guitarist selected for the tour, don’t know her name.

Armada | 7/8/2009, 5:30 am EST

She lit up the whole memorial with her stunning voice and performance…she look confident and her singing of the song “heal the world” was absolutely perfect, credit to the organiser to let her led the group for this song, great choice.

Anne | 7/8/2009, 5:31 am EST

Wow, Judith Hill was amazing! Who cares about the blonde girl next to her because her voice did not even come close to Judith’s! Judith was amazing, MJ must be proud!

josh | 7/8/2009, 5:43 am EST

The blonde singer was Orinthia (sp?). She’s the guitarist you see in the video of the last Jackson rehearsal. She was featured with others before the service on one of Larry King’s shows.

Martin adu, Leiden, Holland | 7/8/2009, 6:01 am EST

Judith Hill, really blessed me with her contributions to the evening. Class ! The sensitivity and vocalising on heal the world was beautiful. I believe this is a gem, and hope she becomes more successful. bless her!

Dan Zzzz | 7/8/2009, 6:02 am EST

She was great! I hope this is her chance to be a huge star. I would buy her music. Also she is nice looking too.

KathTeaChin | 7/8/2009, 6:32 am EST

I thought Judith’s singing was wonderful and touching!
I hope her performance at the memorial would be stepping stones for all aspiring Asian singers.

Prakash India | 7/8/2009, 6:49 am EST

Some people do good even after their death ,one example is King of Pop , Imagine had Judith been noticed if at all not this memorial.Judith you have done MJ proud and god bless you

Leland | 7/8/2009, 8:43 am EST

Kudos Judith, wonderful performance at Michael’s Memorial. Your performance made me wonder sooo just who that singer was, to the point that I trolled the net seeking out who you were. You have a beautiful voice and I look forward to hearing more of you.

Kendra C | 7/8/2009, 9:20 am EST

Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing. In so many ways, her identity and talent embodies what Michael asked us to pay attention to – Heal the world, we men and women in the mirror, of all so many experiences and background. I wish her much success!

TM | 7/8/2009, 9:31 am EST

Absolutely wonderful and heart-tuggung performance. This has brought her even moreso into the light. We will be hearing so much from her for a very long time I’m sure. She seems sincere, humble & extremly talented. Just peeped at some of her existing works and don’t know how come I (along with the rest of the world)weren’t exposed to her before now. Michael… you are surely an angel watching over your true friends. Your spirit lives on.

Patrick Stanton | 7/8/2009, 9:53 am EST

I thought her performance stood out and having googled to find out who she was I end up here! Nice to know I’m not the only one who thought she was good. We will see more of her no doubt.

Thom K, San Diego | 7/8/2009, 10:02 am EST

What a super-talented, beautiful singer! I had ‘discovered’ Judith Hill months ago through some music friends — wasn’t sure WHEN, but I knew she would be huge once people had a chance to see her perform. Although the setting was somber, she showed the star quality and ability to communicate with a huge crowd at the Jackson Memorial. Her beauty and sensitivity shone through the sadness of the occasion. Thank you, Michael, for letting another star shine! RIP, little brother. tk

Thom K, San Diego | 7/8/2009, 10:04 am EST

Judith Hill’s sensitive and beautiful rendition was fabulous. Thank you, Michael, for discovering yet another shining star. RIP, little brother. tk

Alice, Florida | 7/8/2009, 10:17 am EST

She is beautiful and has a good voice, her performance was absolutely stunning. She would be a superstar. Thanks to Michael, I love you.

Greetings from Holland

nick | 7/8/2009, 10:40 am EST

Wow – I’m so happy to see that so many people recognised what a truly astonishing performance Judith Hill put on – let’s hope she gets a record deal soon as based on that one performance alone I would definitely buy whatever she puts out – absolutely gorgeous looking woman too – remarkable memorial too – I’ve watched it twice already and had tears in my eyes throughout both times – there were so many stand out tributes and just beautiful things said about this incredible man. I just wonder if anyone – all the megastars there – will step up to the plate now and follow in his footsteps to think and sing about the bigger picture in this world.

Patrick, Trinidad and Tobago | 7/8/2009, 10:55 am EST

Like so many others I was truly moved by this performance and got here by trying to find out who she is. I am sure this Memorial performance will beome one of her most memorable as it will surely move Judith’s career to a new level.

A. Stewart | 7/8/2009, 11:22 am EST

I too give thanks for identifying Judith. I was sobbing through the entire ceremony and I actually stopped crying when Judith was singing and said “who is that woman, her voice is fabulous”?

Lori | 7/8/2009, 11:25 am EST

I was trying, like hell, to find out who this amazing lady was!!! I was so touched by her voice @ the memorial…she is such a lovely lady and had a grace about her when she sang, lovely! I feel so terrible for her that her plans were halted but even worse for Michael’s kids.. either way Judith has a spectacular voice.. I ♥ her!!!

Nnette | 7/8/2009, 11:43 am EST

she is amazing

Patricia Bivens | 7/8/2009, 12:03 pm EST

She was wonderful and thanks for letting us know who she was. Now, the 2 young men with the yellow roses, standing together in the “chorus”, the younger man was obviously emotional: were these young people from the group that was going on tour with Mr. Jackson?

Al | 7/8/2009, 12:05 pm EST

She’s amazing, but there seems to be one question thats not been answered; who is the guy that sang the first line of the same song, the guy with short hair? He sang just one line before Judith. I thought his voice was amazing!

Sabine M. Mairiedl | 7/8/2009, 12:06 pm EST

You deserve Success, you are so pretty and talented.

Judith’s voice was breathtaking. She was one of the memorial moments from such an emotional event. But her voice was beautiful.

If she was on american idol she probably would of gotten ripped on ny simon. she was ok. I wasn’t crazy about her rendition. I guess it is hard to beat Michael

Wendell Wiggins | 7/8/2009, 12:39 pm EST

This is so funny…I was just watching her singing on a encore presentation of the memorial and I was thinking “who is that?”. Now I’m wondering what her nationality blend might be!

Glenda - CA | 7/8/2009, 12:40 pm EST

Ms Hill is beautiful and I was dazzled by her beautiful heavenly voice. I hope she has a cd out real soon.

Jack | 7/8/2009, 12:40 pm EST

Who is the blonde in the backround?

Rosie O'Dell | 7/8/2009, 12:41 pm EST

I thought it was an angel came down to sing the tribute song “we are the world”. As she was standing next to Lionel Ritchie. She was spectacular and will go on to fame maybe, as Michael Jackson’s last discovered Star.
May Michael always smile on you as you go out and make a star of yourself. All The Best as only Michel knows and Our Lord, God, because “God Is Good”

Sally Cravens | 7/8/2009, 12:41 pm EST

Yes, thank you for her identity. I, too, wondered, who this beautiful and talented young lady was. I can tell she is part Asian. I did suspect that the lead singers in the “We Are The World” number were Michael’s intended singers in his what would have been a major come back concert.Good luck to Judith and the rest of the crew.

Kasandra Murphy | 7/8/2009, 12:41 pm EST

Please delete fatjoey’s remark. Michael deserved to be celebrated!

Delbert | 7/8/2009, 12:44 pm EST

great answers that question. Now who was the the guy singer and the blonde guitarist?

Priscilla a.Mantey | 7/8/2009, 12:44 pm EST

What a sad event,he is a star and a role modal to me I love him but what made gave up was his bleching,well all the same i still enjoy his music.the lord will protect his children and wife

Pam Brearley, Indiana | 7/8/2009, 12:46 pm EST

I was wondering who she was also. She was amazing! sounded so much like michael to me. i noticed some of the stars talking to each other when she sang, and i imagine they were thinking the same thing as i was…that she sounded like michael. I will be watching her career for sure!

Rhydonna | 7/8/2009, 12:46 pm EST

The whole tribute to Michael was wonderful. But does anyone know if either of his ex-wives attend the event? I thought Lisa Marie might show up, but I missed some of the show. Just wondering. All my prayers to his children and family. GOD BLESS THEM….

Anne | 7/8/2009, 12:49 pm EST

I don’t think her voice is far from even close to MJ’s. I was so sad to see that he was replaced and I actually hated that replacement.

damie | 7/8/2009, 12:49 pm EST

Jenny | 7/8/2009, 12:55 pm EST

Leave it to Michael to find an amazing talent like that!! I’m sure we will all see more of Judith!! Although we all know that no one will ever compare to the greatest entertainer of all time Michael Joseph Jackson!!!! We love you more Michael!!

LINDA | 7/8/2009, 12:55 pm EST

Walking on the moon | 7/8/2009, 12:55 pm EST

When I first saw her, I kinda thought it was Lauren Hill from the fugees, bcuz her vocals sounded alot like Lauren ,plus she kinda looked like Lauren a little… But Judith did a remarkable job..She will most likely get signed now :o )

Madeline Rivera-Crouch,BX, NY | 7/8/2009, 12:56 pm EST

What an amazing voice! Judith Hill has such soothing vocals. God bless her talent and many others who are yet to be recognized. Michael Jackson will be missed… Love his music and will always remember the good he did…

Felicia | 7/8/2009, 12:58 pm EST

Michaels daughter is a beautiful little girl, her tribute to her Daddy broke my heart. I hope that everyone in his family will gather around his children, giving them much needed love/support that they will need for years to come.

Big Hugs To His Children!

The bottom line is MJ is the king of pop. Fuck you to who or who it is that have a negative on him.

Emile Jalloh | 7/8/2009, 1:02 pm EST

Judith Hill, waw she is just too fantastic, i mean she is everything. What more can we say about Michael, he know’s how to make his choice.

jc | 7/8/2009, 1:02 pm EST

This might sound morbid…but I was just wondering… what his family dressed him in?? His famous military jackets, white glove… does anyone know?? I know what the casket was made of inside

Jerry Bongah | 7/8/2009, 1:02 pm EST

Hill, keep that warm voice its a gift from Michael THE KING

T from OAK | 7/8/2009, 1:03 pm EST

All I had to do was look at her and know she’s a Japanese and black girl.

The most beautiful girl I ever knew growing up was the same mix. What made her beautiful was her inside self. She could act all goofy and not think she’s all that because she was as beautiful as a goddess.

When you mix, you have the potential of getting the best traits.

bre | 7/8/2009, 1:03 pm EST

she was better than mariah.

Linda | 7/8/2009, 1:04 pm EST

Judith – your singing was beautiful and brought me to tears. I wish you the best of luck in your career and Michael would be very proud of you!

Sher | 7/8/2009, 1:04 pm EST

May God bless the Jackson family especially the 3 children. How fitting that the family would allow who most of us would consider “unknow” people to play a major role in Micheal’s home going service. Say what you will but this was very classy and LA does not need any MONEY from the Jackson family..the city raked in millions just from the media being in their city from day one!

Jen | 7/8/2009, 1:04 pm EST

I was moved by Usher’s performance.
That guy can sing. I will surely miss MJ

Timmy B | 7/8/2009, 1:04 pm EST

After that memorial I want to do some charity work…

GOD IS GOOD!

Thank you God for MJ!

VLA | 7/8/2009, 1:05 pm EST

I think she did a beautiful job considering the circumstances. But what about Jermaine, he also has a great voice, and why is he not in the music world. his “Smile” was very moving.

Leogir | 7/8/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Judith Hill was amazing but really is the negative comments necessary..this article is about Hill…just think that you wouldnt want someone else putting these comments up about you or someone you know….yesterday was about a celebration of the life of MJ and if you dont like him then don’t listen to his music or watch his videos or read anything about him……

kayla | 7/8/2009, 1:05 pm EST

MiaRawks, FL. | 7/8/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Words cannot sufficiently express my deep sadness at the sudden passing of this wonderful man, whose music touched billions across the world. His contribution to the world was simply immense, and everything he did, both inside and outside music, was characterised by a great compassion for humanity: truly a man whose life made a difference. We shall not see his like again, and my thoughts are with his family and friends You wrote the soundtrack to our lives and we will always remember the time -> long lived the king.love you soooo much you’re truely missed…Mia

Michael was called home to teach the angels to dance. I know he’s proud of all the love and support everyone has shown him and given his family.

Jennifer | 7/8/2009, 4:02 pm EST

I wasn’t wow’ed by her at all.

Felix | 7/8/2009, 4:02 pm EST

How did Michael Jackson die? If he was my best friend I would go to his memorial. I wish our MJ would never die, but it was too late! He’s gone.:( :( (

michigan_guy500 | 7/8/2009, 4:02 pm EST

Shaheen Jafarrghoti is from Great Britan, He was on Britans Got Talent, he has a very strong vocie for the age of 12. Wonderful singer. He will go far in his new career. Micheal jackson was his idol and mentor. And Im sure micheal was pleased and proud of him.

Duncan dL | 7/8/2009, 4:04 pm EST

Well…she may be pretty or what..
but, I dont think her voice is that
great…
hell, my grandma could sing better!This girl could be recruited for the London show….BUT….
Everything HAS A REASON !!!

Skylier Wear | 7/8/2009, 4:05 pm EST

I thought Judith was stunning as well. That’s Michaed Jackson for you bringing out new talent even when he’s in heaven. Love you Michael always and forever. The best of luck and blessing to all the new talent that were a blessing to Michael Last day with us. God bless the Jackson Family to make it through these difficult times, the service was just beautiful the way Michael would have wanted it to be. God Bless American that we restore and rebuild with grace, love and hope for all.

This is insane. This article was about the girl who sang not Micheal Jacson. To all the people making comments about the drug overdose,that hasn’t been proven yet, do any of you think about all the stars in the past that have died of drug overdoses. Did you act like 2 year olds then too. This was for the family and fans not the peple who do not like Micheal. Have a little respect for what his kids will have to live with now!

Carrie | 7/8/2009, 4:07 pm EST

i think people should let this man rest in peace we was a good person in im tired of these stupid ass people saying shit about him yes everybody make mistakes so why do people ack like that they never made any we is the best of all time in no one will never be him look or ack like him he did a lot for this world then alot of people that do have to give so that’s why i love him he had a heart in love his family in chidren in his fans so let this man rest he is in a better place smile down on ever one with god. god bless rip mj love you so much

Duncan dL | 7/8/2009, 4:07 pm EST

kept in private | 7/8/2009, 4:11 pm EST

just wanted to say. let the man rest in peace now. all this bickering is really get on my nerves. things happen and now the man dead. let by gone be bygone. we now need to think of the future for the kids. they really dont need all of this saying bad things about MJ. Paris was very brave yesterday and let it be for the kids sake. he will be missed in so many diff ways. so let it. people need to grow up. will be miss MJ.

Steph from PH2 | 7/8/2009, 4:11 pm EST

I grew up LOVING M.J. I still remember my Mom winning a VHS tape of him from a radio station when I was six. Sure he was a little starnge (to say the least) and he got caught up in some trouble…but regardless…He is a music ICON. Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

MsJanet | 7/8/2009, 4:12 pm EST

Michael Jackson THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SUCH GREAT MUSIC YOU BOUGHT INTO MY LIFE……

CycoMan | 7/8/2009, 4:12 pm EST

I grew up listening and admiring everything the Jackson 5 and more importantly Michael stood for. His music has truly been an inspiration and I along with many other Philadelphians who grew up in the 60’s and 70’s will miss him dearly. May God always shine down on his family (except his money-grubbing father.)

serbancrisansergiu | 7/8/2009, 4:13 pm EST

He is an Icon I am a fan of his..and his music will live on. he was a loving father and a son, a brother. he will truly be missed everyday of my life….R.I.P Michael Jackson I will always love you….

I think she did a wonderful job singing at the Tribute, however, for those people who thinks very little of MJ, please consider this is a family had lost a brother, a son and a father, and maybe this is the only way they know how to remember him and at the same time to satisfied his fans. When I saw the Tribute, I was just thinking that when I die, I wonder how many people will come to my funeral when I die. I think that MJ must had done something right to be love by the people who were there at the Tribute and also the people watched this whole thing on TV. RIP MJ

Lisa in Cali | 7/8/2009, 4:18 pm EST

I saw Judith Hill a few years ago at my church where her parents are musicians. She sung the most amazing song I’d ever heard, it was hauntingly beautiful. I have since left that church but often wondered what ever happened to Judith because I was so moved by her performance. When I saw the Japanese/African American woman at the memorial I thought, I bet that’s her. Then I checked my facebook page and I saw a bunch of, “did you see Judith?!” messages from old friends who also knew of her from church. I think God placed her at that service for Michael. She has the presence of an angel. She was amazing and I’m sure we will hear much more from her in the future.
In my humble opinion she did better than both Maria and Jennifer Hudson, but then again Jennifer Hudson looked very pregnant. It just can’t be easy to belt it out while a small human is crowding every organ in your body including your lungs. Still, I thought Jennifer looked very nervous. Maybe she was trying to keep her emotions in check. It could NOT have been easy for the performers to sing without breaking down. I would have.

RIP, MICHAEL JACKSON. :( :( :( (

YOU’LL ALWAYS REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS MJ AND YOUR SONGS WILL ALWAYS BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. WE THANK GOD FOR THE LIFE YOU SPENT WITH US.

KPierce | 7/8/2009, 4:22 pm EST

It is a shame that this talented man could not enjoy his love – Just because he was considered different or strange – that is not a reason to ridicule a person – I believe that he was trying to be a child because he was denied his – Strange perhaps but he was a talented person and we truly have lost a bright start – but now he can rest in peace and not be subject to ugliness.

mary | 7/8/2009, 4:22 pm EST

Its sad what happen to Michael Jackson, He did do alot for people,It isn’t for us to judge him ,God is the Judge of us all and we the people will answer to him when our time is up. We all have faults and no one is perfect here in this world. I feel sadden that it took his death for people to see the good in him, and they didn’t give him his repect of honor when he was alive,like the honor SHELIA ,form TEXAS gave him, WHY couldn’t they have given him that when he was alive? So! he could of seen how much he was loved.Its sad that things arent done when a person is alive,til they die,like Alves, ONce they are gone then ,they are exknowledge for there good dead and thoughfulness. Do it when they are alive so they can appreciate it alive

koko741 | 7/8/2009, 4:27 pm EST

That was beutiful. I can’t stop thinking that he’s REALLY dead. I still don’t beileive it. I’m just a kid but I really admire him and he’s what got me into dancing. At my school people make fun of him and if ANYONE makes fun of him I WILL EAT YOU! jk. I LOVE YOU MJ!

When Mike was here he did so much things for kids,he did so much good things for others.It seems as though god sent him here to do a job,that is to make people happy and show love.Everything he did is about love and happiness.His brother said that maybe everyone will leave him alone.How does all those people who took advantage of him feel now?though you people try to make him unhappy,yoy fail to do that,god made him happy,he did his duty not only to his kids and parents but also to the world.That memorial service was so beautiful,it is something that i want to watch over and over,then i also dont want to see it again.My prayers goes out to the family god will lead the way for you.

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson.

Christian Jaramillo | 7/8/2009, 4:34 pm EST

I agree that Michael Jackson was a man who caused contryversy, but it is undeniable that he ahd a great influence on many people. Let us all let the man rest in peace, for he is no longer here, what’s the point of arguing what he did or didn’t do?

fereshteh | 7/8/2009, 4:34 pm EST

he was the one and will be the best forevre.

Trav..... | 7/8/2009, 4:35 pm EST

To those of us who believe when God says (forgive) continue to love mike and forgive his enemies because the best way to give voice to haters is to comment on them. With that said Micheal and God (Jesus)understand love is what counts not hate and hateful things because hate is the destroyer of everything. Find the good in life. Love people, love micheal, he was an ambassador and touched the hearts of many around the world. the haters don’t see but millions of people around the world want to be happy about something; and he was that something. I think Micheal Jackson deserves this reverence, He brought people together. Ignore the hateful comments. God Rules!!!

maria | 7/8/2009, 4:35 pm EST

Whitey in Detroit | 7/8/2009, 4:39 pm EST

I was amazed by Michael Jackson he was the consumate preformer and will be missed. We have his music to remember him by. Years from now I hope that he’ll be remembered for his contributions to music and his unique ability to dance and entertain people and his contributions to the needy and his heart for humanity. Im sure also by then, Those that need to hate will have found someone else to hang their hatred on. Those that havn’t sinned cast the first stone

Daniel England | 7/8/2009, 4:40 pm EST

momo (MJ fan) | 7/8/2009, 4:40 pm EST

It seems like the world didn’t care that much about Micheal when he was here, but now that he is gone the world can’t get enough of him and I am one of them… I grew up during the bad times of Micheal I didn’t know anything about him till he did he turely was the biggest star on earth now he is the biggest star in the sky
Rest In Peace Micheal

keljson | 7/8/2009, 4:42 pm EST

at last it has come to pass, America is a country that excell in destroying people then put their tail between their legs and act as if they are the mesiah, but this interview blew me away, the president of America when asked about Michael said in our culture we have a tendency of becoming great especially when the media is on you 24-7 I am glad he recognize his fame and it will only be time before America see the reality of his success, alao those reporters where did they got their fac to speak and show emotion to the jackson family especially his children when they are the ones that destroyed this great man watch America they are getting ready to destroy his three kids.
to the jackson family you have a wonderful family.

Tregenza: Virgin Islands | 7/8/2009, 4:42 pm EST

Thanks for sharing the identity of this wonderful singer. Her voice is a gift that I might not have known if not for Michael Jackson.
There are lots of persons on this site who are filled with hate and
have nothing positive to say about him. To them I say, please consider
this: When you are dead, very few will know or care. But look around
at the coverage of Michael Jackson’s death. People of every race and nationality celebrated his gift and mourned–people in China, Pakistan, Japan, Turkey, Poland,Romania, the United States, Brazil, Canada–the list goes on. They gathered all over to mourn a wonderful spirit who did nothing
else but share his gifts with the world. The world is a better place
because of him. So take a lesson and find something constructive to
do with your life. Find a way to share love instead of sowing the
seeds of hate, jealousy, fear and envy. Just like you condemn him
now, you too will have to defend your life before the same God you profess to love. Make that life worth something.

Pennys Mom | 7/8/2009, 4:43 pm EST

Clare | 7/8/2009, 4:45 pm EST

The memorial service was absolutely lovely and very well done. It went off without a hitch, which is a compliment to everyone involved, including the fans who attended. The people who spoke did a beautiful job and it really felt like a memorial/funeral rather than an “event.” I loved the opening with the church choir. I did not like Judith Hill, and was especially put off by how she stood in front of and crowded out the family during the finale. For those of you put off by reading what the naysayers and negative bloggers are saying — remember that you can’t argue with ignorance. Let them be as negative as they want. It’s their loss that they are unable to appreciate, feel and be moved by the love, magic, passion, and incredible artistry of Michael Jackson.

Tank4Life | 7/8/2009, 4:45 pm EST

No one cares who she is. No one was there to see her. RIP Michael.

MJ the King of POP | 7/8/2009, 4:45 pm EST

I am 46 micheal was in my life all my life could you imangine the isolation he managed. not able to be a kid going for a cone at the store, he had to shop alone, alone all his life he had no freedom he only escaped through his music,and his dancing he moved the world he was always a child at heart he stopped growing in a way that lead him to only trust in childern and he had them as friends they couldnt hurt him like others he gave other childern a chance to be childern no wonder he had childern the way he did he then had company unconditional love and someone to love those kids were so special to him he was my friend my dance instructor since childhood the lord needed him to prepare heaven to be miraculous for all of us he leaves behind now lets hear some of his new stuff he left us to enjoy he thought of his fans even in his passing now that is one hell of an entertainer the memorial was so moving and no one should be upset about any performance cause it all was heart dawn for sac ca I will miss him may god be with his family Brooke all involved period

Manny, Los Angeles, Cali | 7/8/2009, 4:45 pm EST

What else can one say other than Judith Hill is a world wide star now. She is not only beautiful and also a wonderful voice that says so much about her spiritual up-bringing. Miss Hill thank you so much for that performance. May GOD continue to bless you.

In my 40’s, you are still one person who I will always adore, even though you are with GOD now, and finally in a resting place where people wont judge you. I love you Michael Jackson, your spirit will live in my heart!!!

Why was Judith Hill a backup singer??? She’s got a wonderful voice and deserves to be in a broadway show or doing her own concerts. She has the voice of an angel and I am one tough critic. I wish her good fortune and am sure some record producer will snatch her up.

jasper | 7/8/2009, 4:51 pm EST

Well then here is a nother one isn’t it, a Joe Jackson plant of course, as if someone didn’t know who she was. please , some one knew alright.
Doesn’t take away from her talent, but someone knew.

It would be nice to know how many of you ppl that are critizing actually contribute any money to charity like MJJ did!!!

someone | 7/8/2009, 4:52 pm EST

One thing everyone needs to do is listen really listen to his lyrics and follow many of them. Find a charity and contribute to Help Heal the World – it is a mess. The lyrics have the same message as God’s word. We need to give more of ourselves. My prayers are for the entire family of MJ.

And by the way to add I am NOT impressed with all the stars out there… they made money showing up to preform. give me a brak NONE of them did this for free. If they really loved Micheal Jackson they would have done this for him and his fans for free. AND they would NOT have waited till the man DIED to show their love! Not impressed at all.

You no what i grew up listening and dancing off of MJ’s music. I remember when i was a little girl and on a school night me and my sister had to be in the bed by 9pm i remember hearing micheal jackson on T.V and i would sneak down to watch him then my mother would catch me and tell me to come in and watch. I have always loved MJ always wanted to meet him. I always beleived in him inspite of what other people said about him i understood him because people picked and talk trash about me. I love and miss MJ so very much he was always an angel here on earth. fly away Micheal Jackson you always had your wings forever stephanie watson of Rockingham N.C

deep red tiger | 7/8/2009, 5:03 pm EST

THIS is really too much. Fan can act so stupid! talking as if they KNOW the man personally . YOU DON’T get over it. The man is dead and he DID do good things and for that he deserves respect. it is RUDE to bring up the passed and state nasty things LEAVE THAT TO GOD. It was a nice send off Michael got, but it was all about the money and that to me IS wrong. R.I.P MJ and Peace to the Famliy.

you will be missed mj | 7/8/2009, 5:04 pm EST

nows a really rough time for the jackson family, the world, and mostly his children…and for some of the ppl below me to have the nerve to sit there and harshly critcize this amazing man for all hes done is disgusting…it makes me sick.

RIP mj..
you taught us so much.

By the way,at least half of you need to learn how to SPELL!!

Carol | 7/8/2009, 5:04 pm EST

Like him or not, did or didn’t do what was said, there is no doubt that he was a great great musicial person. Right now nothing else matters. He is away from it all and is at last at peace. I feel so sorry for what his children have lost, since I lost both my parents at a young age.Please be good to them. As for M.F. your initials fit you well I hope someday you will find your place in HELL!!!!!!!!!!

Kaye | 7/8/2009, 5:04 pm EST

To Believer…Michael was loved and respected by millions of people of every sex and race. Please do not disrespect his memory by trying to make some racist issue out of his life. He was a peaceful and loving human and should be remembered for that. He gave so much of himself to his fans and the least we can do is honor him with dignity.

Outraged in OR | 7/8/2009, 5:05 pm EST

If M.J. was the god people are acting like he is, he either wouldn’t have died or would have resurrected on June 28th!

Now, that was the way it should have been done, but it could have been expressed during the times when trials and tribulations were headlining MJ’s life. We will never know if the support shown at this memorial would have made a difference had he known how many people really were behind him during those times. Then again, his life was full, and his accomplishments had been beyond what anyone else will probably never accomplish. So, may MJ rest in peace and may his children live to celebrate his life forever and get the respect they deserve as they grown into young adults. My heart goes out to his children, mother, brothers and sisters, exspecially Janet. But hold your heads up and rejoice he was a truly remarkable person.

lovely girl | 7/8/2009, 5:05 pm EST

SHUT UP YOU HATERS MJ IS THE BEST AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OH F!@#ING WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bogart | 7/8/2009, 5:06 pm EST

You are the best singer I ever adored!!RIP our “KING OF POP”…May the lord god be with you always.You will always be the number one Entertainer in the whole world. Love you MJ!!See up there….

Cuzican720 | 7/8/2009, 5:06 pm EST

Personally, I would like to know who the blond is behind the singer. That backup singer is gorgeous!!

It was a perfect celebration of everything Michael Jackson was. His gifts of amazing music will live on forever even though he left the world way too soon. Those who continue to make rude and degrading comments about him should be ashamed of themselves for doing it. He cannot defend himself now, but he never should have had to do that to begin with. I think very few people actually knew the “real” Michael anyway. He was one person on stage and another one completely outside of the spotlight. The bottom line is this: Only God or whatever Supreme Being guides us has the right to pass judgement in the end. Michael is on to bigger and better things in his next life. Bless him.

Lee | 7/8/2009, 5:06 pm EST

Very Simply, I only hope that when I die, I will have been loved one tenth as much as he was. I hope I will be remembered for doing what little I could for making the world a better place, creating beauty, and giving love to a world that is so much in need of it. We should all think about what we leave behind and who will sing love songs about us when God calls us home.

Sherry | 7/8/2009, 5:06 pm EST

I am 32yrs old, and I grew up on the Jackson 5. I just want to say I felt like I lost my brother, and I am still in mourning. Even though, I watched his memorial, I still can’t believe Michael is gone. My oldest son who is 10, watched the memorial when he got home, and was just crying. For, Michael too touch everybody all over the world, man their would be nobody like him. I just want to say Michael I love you so much and thank you for giving back to your fans, we will never forget you, and you will be forever in our hearts. Thank you, for your music, your dance, your caring, and for being our heroes. You are truly an icon, and the best entertainer I’ve ever known. My heart truly goes out to the Jackson family, and may God Bless all your family. Sometimes, we take things for granted, and assume that person will always be there, but remember Michael, and cherish those moments that you had, because nobody could take those memories away from you. And to Michael’s children, your dad was one in a million, and I will be praying for you. Take care Jackson Family

Ms. Mariah has nothing to be sorry for..the song was perfect! No one could have done it better. Hats off to you lady!! Mike I pray heaven is ready for ya..peace to you forever.

Sheena | 7/8/2009, 5:09 pm EST

I was wondering who that was, she is a good singer

Davianne Harrigin, Trinidad | 7/8/2009, 5:09 pm EST

Hey don’t be on Michael idiots who commented bad things about Michael he will always be a star and a legend and his soul will always shine.

john | 7/8/2009, 5:09 pm EST

I thought the Tribute was very nice for Mr.Jackson. One of the world’s greatest Singers ever. My heart hurt for the family as well as the love one lost. Ms Hill had one of the best voices I have ever heard and she was a highlight of the memorial. God Bless the Jackson Family.

Charles | 7/8/2009, 5:09 pm EST

Sad the the best thing he could ever do for his music career was to die. He’s more popular now than ever.

scott | 7/8/2009, 5:10 pm EST

im so sick of people calling michael a freak and weird and all this other crap theres not a single thing wrong with him so get off his back and let him rest in peace

Renwick | 7/8/2009, 5:10 pm EST

I loved the whole memorial, but when she started to sing, it was beautiful. The memorial served its purpose for the One and Only King Of Pop, Michael Jackson! All the tributes were nice! It was BEAUTIFUL and Judith’s tribute touched my heart as well as others who were there or watching it from their computer screens or televisions. Rest in Peace Michael Jackson and let his soul, love and music live on in our everyday lives and

JenGirl | 7/8/2009, 5:10 pm EST

How sad that some of you won’t let him rest in peace. I, for one, cannot imagine what his entire life must have been like. Sure he had issues. I think we all do and most of us did not endure anything close to what his childhood was like and lacking. Maybe a little kindness would do us all good. Walk a mile in someone elses shoes before you criticize.

Harrison Ray | 7/8/2009, 5:10 pm EST

Many years ago, I’m sorry I don’t recall exactly, I was blessed with the opportunity of meeting Michael on the set of “Captain EO, for the Disneyland show. Even though I pursued acting most of my career, at that time I was working on the costuming crew. I found him to be a very genuine, kind hearted, and generous young man. He was very shy, yet always ready to smile and talk to people. It hurts me personally when people speak ill of the good person I was fortunate enough to get to meet and see on a daily basis while the work lasted in Culver City.

Davianne Harrigin, Trinidad | 7/8/2009, 5:11 pm EST

i really wanted to know who was that girl singing I’ve never heard about before today but she stunned me with her amazing voice

gloria | 7/8/2009, 5:11 pm EST

michael was a super guy r.i.p

Sharon | 7/8/2009, 5:11 pm EST

Judith sang very well. I don’t believe that MJ did those bad things to those kids. Their parents just wanted money from him! The poor guy went broke because of it! Rest in Peace, MJ.

tonya | 7/8/2009, 5:12 pm EST

i loved her voice it was amazing. so was all the this is it crew.

Steph from Cali | 7/8/2009, 5:12 pm EST

Michael Jackson was a true American Icon, that turned into a pop culture worldly phenom! He was unlike anyone in musical history, and I seriously doubt we will ever see another entertainer like him again. He was a man and a father above all, and I think that was demonstrated at his memorial. He was someones son, brother, father, friend, and OUR MJ. He was Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat it! He was it, and now he’s gone. So sad. RIP MJ, I love you!

Biodun Oni. Nigeria | 7/8/2009, 5:13 pm EST

MJ lived! and even in death, he was a legend. The memorial was really thought provoking. whether he will make heaven or not is not for anyone to judge, what is important was that he made impact here on earth. And, dont forget that thief on the cross with Jesus……

Laura | 7/8/2009, 5:13 pm EST

MJ & his music has been in my life ever since he first started… He was very different… but i loved his music!!!! and still do at the age of 53.. it was sad he had to go so soon.. RIP my friend, My heart goes out to the children involved they are the ones people need to pray for right now, GOD BLESS all of MJ’s Family!!! You will live forever in alot of hearts.

JenGirl | 7/8/2009, 5:13 pm EST

I forgot to express my opinion of Judith Hill. Absolutely fantastic! She will go far. I am glad I found out who she is, I will be keeping an ear out for her music.

Teddy | 7/8/2009, 5:13 pm EST

Within his soul Michael Jackson carried the transcedental spirit that touched all the hearts of all the races of the world and in his death the soul of the entire world literarily converged to mourn him.A true reflection of the supreme soul in a man so distinct.America remains great because because they have produced men like Michael Jackson and now President Barack Obama.

Bella | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

Michael Jackson was many different things to all of us. To me he was a great singer and performer. Only one man will judge him at HIS end. and its none of us. May u rest in eternal peace.

victoria | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

If you didn’t get MJ or even like MJ, you shouldn’t even waste your time spewing off rotten comments about him. His life is one that NO ONE could have ever understood. Who are you to judge? MJ was a human being that loved people and the world, and he shared his love of music with us. I will miss him being in the world — where he is at now, they are lucky. Where you are at MJ, you are lucky. No more do you have to listen to the ignorance of those that judge. You are not alone anymore. I will miss you.

Nicholas | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

Everything about the memorial was great! It managed to grasp the love that the world has for Mr. Jackson (and Family), and it showed how much of an impact his music had on the world. But we must be honest that the comment made by that Rev. “Al” whatever his name is, “There was nothing strange about your daddY”, ..come on people, we all know that is just ridiculous. Just because the man has passed does not mean we have to be blind nor bias. The man did live a strange lifestyle, whether he was influence by the media, he still made his own decisions.

Condolences | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

I feel sympathy for the children M.J. raised – not his messed up family, not him, not the fans who pretend he was the only thing to live for. At least now the kids will have a shot at a normal life – unless of course they are raised by anyone who’s last name is Jackson.

Kini, India | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

i can’t recall but an actor once commented…there are 2 kinds of people in this world… 1. Michael Jackson Fans…2. Losers..

jol | 7/8/2009, 5:14 pm EST

leave mj alone he is a icon and with his passing he will be even a greater icon. my blessings to his family n children

THE TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS CHILDREN AND FAMILY. EVERYONE ELSE LET MIKE REST HE DESERVES IT. REST MIKE REST. ONE OF YOUR MANY MANY FANS. LOVE

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 5:16 pm EST

As an older gentleman who grew up idolizing MJ, I am appauled at some of the hater comments that I have read. deana U need to keep your UNPROVEN comments to yourself. Yeah, 95% of the population sing and dance but none like him. Were you even alive when he did the first MOONWALK? It was absolutely amazing to everyone who saw it. And he wrote thousands of songs. A greater tribute as said by Smokey Robinson is to have someone perform a song that he wrote and do it better than he can. That was Michael Jackson. The man is in the record books as the Pop Star who contributed to more charities than any other star or group. MJ was a true humanitarian who was deprived of a childhood so he could bring entertainment to MILLIONS of people of all races. No other star can even come close. MJ will be missed and spoke of forever as will his spirit live on through his music that is still… TIMELESS!
RIP MJ.

A Romanian man | 7/8/2009, 5:16 pm EST

Yes, indeed, the voice of Judith Hill was amazing. She really touched my heart…

Newjack | 7/8/2009, 5:17 pm EST

I agree Cuzican…she was hot!! But she obviously was looking for camera time. She placed herself behind or right next to everyone who sang. And wore a crazy short dress to a funeral? Obviously looking for attention. Yesterday was the wrong day to be an opportunist.
…it was a great tribute though

Jamaican Girl | 7/8/2009, 5:17 pm EST

well what can i say Words make me feel special and Micheal Jackson had some wonderful words in his songs. Live on i realise you were yearning to live your childhood days but you never got the chance here on earth, now you can because its never too late for a shower of rain.

Jamaican Girl | 7/8/2009, 5:17 pm EST

wandamosley | 7/8/2009, 5:18 pm EST

I thought she was okay. But I was looking forward to and really wanted to see Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder and the other artists perform “We are the World.” That was my only complaint. But overall it was an amazing homegoing for an amazing artist. The greatest entertainer that ever lived…RIP MJ!!!

Fan | 7/8/2009, 5:18 pm EST

Hill was good but who was the other back-up singer who sort of looked like Avatar….scared the CRAP out of me!

Matt G | 7/8/2009, 5:18 pm EST

Adrian D, yes he did put his pants on one leg at a time, but u CANNOT deny that he was the greatest entertainer that ever lived. That is the bottom line. He was generous and kind and maybe he made a few mistakes, but, who doesn’t? he was an amazing person. We’ll miss u MJ!!!

Jamaican Girl | 7/8/2009, 5:19 pm EST

rest in peice MJ you did well

I know more music than you do | 7/8/2009, 5:19 pm EST

Why is it that all of the haters claim that he never wrote his songs? Do they really not know anything about music? I like Dylan & The Beatles just as much as the next person but MJ wrote just about everything he did. I’m not saying 100%, but he did write a lot of his big hits and other songs. Also why do all haters keep comparing him to Usher, Spears, Madonna, Timberlake – It’s actually the opposite because MJ created the kind of dance form we see today (he was an new innovator of song & dance) plus those people I named still can’t match what MJ did in song/dance or in humanity. I’m sorry but all haters of MJ are just plain ignorant – it’s true.

Autumn | 7/8/2009, 5:19 pm EST

Really you can only say you grew up with the ‘Jackson 5′ if you are between 45-50 years of age. I am 38 (going on 39) and I grew up with Michael Jackson in his late teens with ‘Off the Wall’. He is really one of a kind…all those horrible new artist now who call themselves artist should learn something from him. Yes, he was strange, but most strange people in this world are very talented…look it up.. RIP Michael..you can finally smile now.

He’s a man and we love him so much,He was a good man!!!!

MJ was a class act, phenomenal and mysterious. Despite his shortcomings, he blessed the world with his monumental talent. He was an entertainer extraordinaire. He remains one of the wonders of the last century and we shall all miss him not only for his music but eccentricity. He was a true genius. May his soul rest in peace. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL.

cassie | 7/8/2009, 5:20 pm EST

Michael Who?

Judge not! | 7/8/2009, 5:22 pm EST

Stop judging the Jackson family and Michael until you know whats it like to be them. It must be hard being a good person and see people publish bad things about you everyday.

Ernie | 7/8/2009, 5:22 pm EST

I sincerely agree with Rev. Al Sharpton and Micheal’s brother Marlon during the service. people will finally leave M J alone now that he is dead. Any body who contributed in any way to paint this guy black in the out side world, will live to regret now that he is dead. The world still loves you Micheal!!!.

mgk | 7/8/2009, 5:22 pm EST

bless you to the jackson family

Noah | 7/8/2009, 5:23 pm EST

He is the first singer I ever watch in TV when I was a little kid. Now, I growed up with MJ’s popularity and charisma..I watch his ups and downs but I never critized him because i know how it feels to get involved or accused of something that you did not commit. You may rest in peace my brother and you will find the peaceful love up in heaven with angels and our lord god..You will always be my KING Of POP and youre here in anyone’s heart. Peace out brother!

jbof hulo pil binangonan rizal | 7/8/2009, 5:23 pm EST

Rednbunni | 7/8/2009, 5:24 pm EST

Judith had an amazing opportunity, and she shined like the star I’m sure Michael saw in her. Great job Judith! MJ was an amazing musician with talent unsurpassable. I grew up on MJ and will 4ever miss the music he made. RIP MJ. My prayers go out to his family as well.

Pregnant Psycho | 7/8/2009, 5:24 pm EST

I agree with Mark, you all need to learn how to spell. I like how people kept spelling “haters” as “hatters” and God knows what else is spelled wrong but please if you want to show respect to anything please do it to the English language! This is why foreigners think that Americans are idiots!

Cheryl | 7/8/2009, 5:24 pm EST

meg-Ach[NIGERIA] | 7/8/2009, 5:24 pm EST

I could not bring my self to accept he is dead.my God grant him rest and the childrend the heart to know that daddy love them very mush. an d the family to love and remain united in love forever.that is all MJ lived for.Rest in peace MJ.

Jeep | 7/8/2009, 5:25 pm EST

Honestly i think all this is WAY over the top. I really dont care that he is dead to be honest.

I do feel bad for his kids, and especially his mom. No parent should have to bury their child no matter what.

ROB | 7/8/2009, 5:25 pm EST

RIP MJ you are and will forever be the greatest entertainer of ALL time. By far the most popular individual on this planet!

Evelyn | 7/8/2009, 5:25 pm EST

Michael Jackson was a super-great entertainer. He was eccentric but who cares? Everyone has a right to be what they want to be and live their life the way they want to and NO ONE has a right to judge him. We should ALL focus on the good things he did for the world and stop speculating and writing LIES!!!

Impact | 7/8/2009, 5:26 pm EST

Let’s face it.. MJ was a great humantarian, person, performer, brother, son, and most important.. a Father. His life impacted millions, and his death changed the demeanor of a nation. I keep thinking what if he proclaimed JESUS CHRIST and salvation publicly, what change would that have made? Would people believe that JESUS really died for all peoples sins and that he is still alive and well today? I’m interested in hearing thoughts..

slykitty | 7/8/2009, 5:27 pm EST

I will say this. Anywhere you go at any time of day or date, the name, MICHAEL JACKSON, will always be remembered. To me, he will be always remembered as a man with a heart of gold. Spreading the care, love, joy, and unity to others. I love you, Michael. No one will even top his version to me, but the lady does know how to sing. She will do OK.. E.P.T.

Boxaman | 7/8/2009, 5:28 pm EST

She was sooo amazing!
P.S… Deep red tiger… YOU look like a fool now.

Nice try though.

I watched the memorial and it was a beautiful tribute to a man that was so destroyed by the media and our constant insisting on wanting to hear and create dirt on individuals who achieve any level of greatness. I guess it makes most people feel better about there lives. I am also in this day and age still so surprised by the level of peoples ignorance. I work in entertainment and these individual endure so much more than we can ever imagine. We have fueled a society that feels that no one should have any level of privacy. Artist and the wealthy are constantly being sued and accused of anything under the sun so that people can have their story of get money out of them. There was a comment early about if your child was hurt by an individual there is no money in the world that could make you not want to press charges against that individual. Common sense people. Let’s start using it. As a human being we can live our lives as we choose and who are we to judge another you makes decisions that we wouldn’t like plastic surgery…etc. I truely hope that the Jackson family stand tall as the media swarms around to create their stories. Sharpton said it best..”There was nothing strange about your daddy…It was strange what he had to deal with!” SO TRUE! Mr. Jackson helped out so many individuals and charities around the world. Let’s remember him for that and then maybe the individuals that want to judge and say hurtful things about a person they didn’t even know can take that time to get off of there computers and spend that energy doing something that makes a difference for someone in the world like Michael.

Rest in peace

I think she was great and represented MJ proudly. I was brought to tears from how well she did his song. Job Well done.

goosebumps. Considering the tremendous talent out there, I think they could have picked somebody with an amazing voice!

MJ’s memorial was truly touching and heart-rending. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and children. MJ touched many lives with his music while here on this earth, but one wonders if he was a happy, loved and understood person. I think not…Hopefully, and none of us knows, he is with his Creator.

Michael Jackson was a gifted artist who deserves to be respected and honored for the contributions he made in music and dance. We reside together in peace and happiness. We sing together everyday.

mrs.jaye | 7/8/2009, 5:31 pm EST

Judith Hill was just alright. I think her outfit was inappropriate. I wasn’t too thrilled with the cameras focused on her, very irritating. Hopefully now the man can rest in peace and the family can just be family without the overexposure from the media.

Michael C | 7/8/2009, 5:31 pm EST

Tregenza from Virin Islands….well said. I grew up with Michael J since I was a small child. I loved The Jackson 5 and loved his solo career. He was, and will always inspire. RIP Michael Jackson.

For goodness sakes, let the man rest in peace. Nobody will ever know the true story behind Michael Jackson. I truly feel for him, and for what will come for his family.

I honestly believe the man had a rough childhood and was trying to relive his live the way that he wanted it to be growing up.

The memorial was very moving and well done. Also, deep red tiger, otherwise is one word, not two. Moreover, the correct usage of…”your just making yourself look foolish”… should be “you’re just making yourself look foolish.” If you’re going to correct another writer, make sure you ARE correct.

roger alaniz-poteet,texas | 7/8/2009, 5:40 pm EST

mj is amazing person that gave it his all,we the people need to realized what he has started and keep it going on. as me being a college student his inspired me to work through anything by the way he is and his misic. may the king live forever. R.I.P you well be missed but not forgotten

Allan Quilantang Bac. Phil. | 7/8/2009, 5:40 pm EST

Out of curiousity I never expected her to be that good ,but to my surprise she is really the best in her performance. Michael Jackson surely was very proud of her.

Lee | 7/8/2009, 5:41 pm EST

Judith was awesome. But there was no reason to have performer names in the memorial take away. It wasn’t a concert. It was about paying respects.

Everyone did a delightful job. Brief and to the point. I was pleasantly surprised.

MJ would have loved it all.

Glad you identified her talent. Cream always rises to the top.

God Bless.

She might do some songs of MJ in the Londons O2 arena? anyway she’s sounds like MJ.But definitely MJ is exceptional.

grantyp | 7/8/2009, 5:43 pm EST

just hoping his calling and election sure. death is soooooooooo final. what if love, support and appreciation could conquer death MJ would be back but death is just the final straw. no matter what our status in life we just have to be ready and stay ready caus in a moment when we think not we could be called away. I think Judith Hill did very well. I pray for added strength and comfort for the family, especially MJs mother and his children.

lorrie | 7/8/2009, 5:44 pm EST

Okay people, am I seriously the only one who believes that yesterday was a big farce. Nothing adds up right. Why has it taken so long to have a memorial service, and still no burial? Michael “died” on June 25th and it is taking this long to give him a proper burial?
Princess Di passed away on August 31, 1997. Diana’s funeral took place in Westminster Abbey on September 6th 1997. SIX DAYS LATER AND SHE WAS PRINCESS DI!!!!!!!!!!!

Elvis Presley’s Death, August 16th 1977. Elvis Presley’s funeral, held on the 18th, TWO DAYS LATER!!

The funeral of John F. Kennedy took place during the three days that followed his assassination on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Why is this taking so long?? No one else is wondering what really happened??

I will say this. Anywhere you go and anytime of day or date, the name, MICHAEL JACKSON, will always be remembered. To me, as a man with a heart of gold. Spreading the love, joy, and unity. I love you Michael Jackson. No one can top Michael’s version of the song, she can sure sing.

HarryPD | 7/8/2009, 5:48 pm EST

To “me” and “mrs.jaye” – boy that’s saying much about MJ’s choice of a “backup singer”, Judith is a backup singer for MJ. I suppose you can do better? She’s fantastic, get over it and shut up…

jess_sayin | 7/8/2009, 5:49 pm EST

I was also wondering who the guy was that looked somewhat like Tiki Barber? He was good too.

Momof4Js, Fullerton, Calif. | 7/8/2009, 5:49 pm EST

Wow… Judith… is so amazing – I immediately looked her up. The best to her.

Judith Castillo, Los Angeles | 7/8/2009, 5:49 pm EST

The young woman is an intuitive singer with gifts that she calls upon to interpret the emotional feelings that arise from somewhere within her essence.

Zekkue | 7/8/2009, 5:49 pm EST

One star passes, another one born. Judith Hill was incrediable and presented a beautiful dedication to the entire Jackson Family. Her gift is her voice, her presence is peaceful and calming. I will definately follow her career, we were all wondering who she is.

Maranda | 7/8/2009, 5:50 pm EST

Hello everybody, I understand this post is suppose to be about the young singer but right now it is a little hard not to speak about MJ. It would be normal for people to want to keep the topic on him. Most of the post I read is fair and true; the others – if you don’t give attention to it then it will go away. The young singer was awesome, but so were so many artist on there. I would think at a time like this all negative comments should be held. Think of it this way, if it was your family would you want people talk ill of them, no matter what the situation around them. They are still loved and they have family. MJ rest in peace and to the young singer – keep your voice in people ears, you will go far. That is all!

Jazz | 7/8/2009, 5:50 pm EST

michael jackson was my hero, every1 keeps saying maybe now ppl will leave him alone. i agree but i dnt think that will happen and it pisses me off. the man was the greatest performer on earth. let him rest. the media keeps putting all his personal buisness out etc, its ridiculous theres such a big hyp eon who will get his children and estate and stuff but seriously why does any1 care? leave him alone let the people who really love him as a human being and brother and father and son. its ridiculous! let the man rest and let his family grieve in peace for gods sake. rip mj i love u

Cathy | 7/8/2009, 5:51 pm EST

"Colette".... | 7/8/2009, 5:51 pm EST

M.J.Quoted he didn’t want to be anything like his father This should determine who the children should be-protected from…His little girl proved how much He wasn’t….. by stating how much she loved him ,please read between the lines Momma Jackson

Very touching beautiful song and the legacy of Michael Jackson continues. Judith Hill did a wonderful job. Very sad. Sadder today than at the actual live viewing. God Bless the Jackson family.

Sheila | 7/8/2009, 5:52 pm EST

After watching the memorial service for Michael, his death really began to sink in. I know no one is above death, but it was just so sad to see his family especially is daughter hurt so bad. I guess what made it so sad is his life and what he never had a chance to experience as a child. It was like he had gotten trapped in time and remained young. I am still upset with his dad for the way that he made his children life so miserable. To see him there really sickened me. Poor Michael, you will be greatly missed. To Ms. Katherine, siblings and children may God give you peace and understanding that surpasses all.

On earth he was abused, betrayed, and wrongly accused by people who didn’t understand him. He was an angel from heaven and received his wings June 25th, 2009. All of generousity and love for his fellow man will not be forgotten. He will be always be imitated, but never will there be a duplication of Micheal Joseph Jackson. Rest In Peace.

It was great to be able to watch michael’s memorial last night. I just lost my gradfather on May 3rd and I understand how the family feels. My grandpa was the mayor of my town and had over 1050 visitors. He was a great man just like Michael Jackson. All of the celebrities that sang were amazing and I’m sure that Michael would be proud of them all. Also I would like to comment on what Paris, Michael’s daughter, said, she did an amazing job and I applaud her on that. I like her is 11 years old and I didn’t have the nerve to speak at my grandpa’s memoral so I’m glad she did. Rest in peace Michael Jackson I will truly miss you.

Vera | 7/8/2009, 5:57 pm EST

Chances are they are racist and care little about world peace. When the world is better to live in we will leave you behind and God will punish the wicked as he promised. Goodbye Micheal. You are the best.

Evelyn | 7/8/2009, 5:59 pm EST

I would like to thank the Jackson family for sharing Michael with us in the most beautiful way. Although they were mourning the most talented man alive they shared him with us at a very tender moment. I was only able to watch the memorial on TV but words cannot describe the beauty of it all. It touched my heart. I can remember winning a dance contest when i was in the 8th grade dancing to one of his song. Please people leave him alone, let him rest in peace. It is a tragedy when it takes a death for someone to be left alone. God Bless the family and Michael you are now one of our angels and now you can look over all of the children like you loved to do. RIP

Disgusted | 7/8/2009, 5:59 pm EST

This whole event was one of the most insensitive displays of disrespect and exploitation I have ever seen for someone who has just passed away. Instead of focusing on Michael’s memory in a solemn and classy manner, people showed up like this was a rock concert…which it ended up being. Way to go Los Angeles, and media, and pathetic fans for exploiting everything humanly possible from this man and his family. Sell some more merchandise outside of the funeral, or jump up and down in joy some more when you get your tickets to attend the FUNERAL! You people make me sick.

Irene | 7/8/2009, 6:00 pm EST

RIP MJ…. maybe now people will get the message that you wanted to send to the world, you had so much love for everyone, but there are so many people still full of hate in this world.. you have made an impact on so many people… MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.. GOD BLESS!!!

MJJ what a great entertainer, performer, giver and father. May you rest in peace and your legacy live on through your children and people’s hearts. “Heal the World” thats what MJJ was trying to do but died before accomplishing. I’m starting with the wo “Man in the Mirror”

Peace and blessings to ALL the Jackson Family and to Debbie Rowe.

Kimberly Napper | 7/8/2009, 6:01 pm EST

I have read through some of the comments about the memorial and about Michael Jackson. Let us not forget that he did make an impact on the music world and on the world itself. He was a genius, but he was just a man. Humans make mistakes. I wish people would understand that we are not perfect. None of us has a right to judge anyone. He who is without sin cast the first stone. If we live by that, then no one could cast anything. We have all made mistakes. Let Michael rest in peace. His music will live on. Thank you!

bigslimm3 | 7/8/2009, 6:01 pm EST

MJ’s life was a circus. And so, it seems, is his death. He was just a man, as messed up as he was. There is no need for him to be worshipped as a god. Don’t get me wrong, while I have no personal feeling about his death, I never would have wished him ill. I just hope his family finds peace and the public and media just leave them alone.

MJ as fondly called by fans is a legend and a hero as far as am concern and let critic go to hell!Thou shall not judge because no one is perfect.I love you Michael!I pray we see on the resurrection day.The paradise awaits people like you.

To all of you stupid, dumb a** people. Who say they don’t care about Michael Jackson…….. You people need to get a hold on to yourselves, and stop putting down his career….just because you didn’t get the chance to be famous like he did. Another thing…. Stop being some critics and get on with your life you selfish a** son of a b*t*h!!!! Judith Hill did a awesome job singing them two songs….
Now i am getting too mad by just reading them hateful comments….So I am about to go….I hope you stupid people just learned a lesson

MICHAEL JACKSON was awesome even though I’m 15 and Didnt grow up on him but his music inspired and changed the world. HE will always be in our hearts. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY REST IN PEACE MICHAEL. WE LOVE YOU.

Ellie From Toledo,Ohio | 7/8/2009, 6:06 pm EST

i just want to say Michael Jackson ’s family will always be in my heart and prayers as long as i’m alive. i know its hard to loose a loved one but take it one day at a time just remember you have your vary own angel looking down at your family and that he’s protecting you. His music lives on in my heart always and forever. hugs& kisses.

christine | 7/8/2009, 6:07 pm EST

Oh what lengths we will go to to find a childhood stolen from us. Michael created that sense of wonder and of play for all of us. I looked at the pictures of his beautiful daughter and thought how hard, it must have been for him to raise them, untainted by a world that often was cruel and intrusive. This little girl, her face unmasked, standing still before the people said it best. She will miss her daddy, we will miss the brightness of the star he rode….

Michael Jackson was a perfectionist and his crew members are a portray of that. Michael Jackson always goes the extra length to give his fans the best in his music, entertainment, etc, always. Judith Hill is talented and that show was a good exposure for her music career.
Michael Jackson, God bless you!

Gill | 7/8/2009, 6:17 pm EST

Please people be nice for once! I saw a comment on one blog about Judith Hill a “nobody” being given the role to sing the MJ song Heal The World. Where do get up the nerve to label someone as a “nobody”. If MJ choose Judith Hill to be a back-up singer for him, I would not regard her as a “nobody”. Also how do people get ahead in life? I would reckon that most of the rich and famous people that we refer to as somebody were nobody at one point in time. May I name a few? No disrespect to any of those names mentioned here (Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Hudson, Barak Obama, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, The Jackson 5). All of these wonderful people were once “nobody”. Give Judith Hill a chance and I can guarantee that she will VERY BIG one day. She is a stunningly beautiful girl with an outstanding voice. Yes, I am a straight woman.

Michael Jackson was almost my age, just a difference of 2 years.. so I grow up with his songs in my all life till his death. He was a very humble person and I feel sorry he past away very early,let him rest in peace. your spirit will always remind forever in me. RIP MJ.

Michael was truly a star, a great one. He is a deep sensational, caring individual. He made the world alive, and unified the world through his songs. He is truly a legend. Michael, we missed you but we know you live on and on and on through ur music. you will never be forgotten from our thoughts. To Michael’s three children let the world love you for michael’s sake, be the best you want to be, be the best you can be and do your father proud. though he his far away, i know he is in your hearts. love always

A fan from Tampa Fla. | 7/8/2009, 6:21 pm EST

Micheal was my first crush i grew up with him and his family. I always love him and will most surely keep loving him. Some to all you haters you need to sweep around your door before you sweep around someone else door. To all you Micheal Jackson keep loving him and never forget him. Show the haters that they are the freaks of this world. He didn’t have to prove anything to anyone but he did as becoming The King of Pop. Remember he didn’t give hisself that name the world. To the family i give so much love and to Micheal Jackson R.I.P until we meet at the Golden of Heaven

May your soul rest in peace Micheal. Your Memorial was good alot of people did turn out and it was very calm,spiritual and enjoyable.

Lot’s and lots of love to you Micheal from your Jamaican fan Rosemarie we love bye LOVe LOVE LOVE u Micheal

I just want to say to David in Iowa. That it is really a time to remember all the wonderful things about MJ and the effect that he had on this World. I think that he has been disected enough due to the World’s unwillingness to leave him alone and just let him live. We sucked the life out of him until there was nothing left. Long live the King!!

Almost everything about the memorial was in such good taste. Hearing this, and about that kid who was introduced as well, I can’t help but think these people may be signing with Joe Jackson’s “label”. And that would be in very poor taste. There is a name for that; “exploitation”.

Jordan | 7/8/2009, 6:29 pm EST

Elvis is NOT the King anymore, and has not been for a long time! Sorry! PR has just kept that out in the public.

I watched as the media showed all the people of the world as one mourning an incredible life taken at an early age….
Why can’t we all take that feeling of unity and keep it in our hearts always. As Micheal said “look at yourself in the mirror and make a change. We need to remember his message to the world was that of Love……….

Carlton - LA | 7/8/2009, 6:30 pm EST

Given the right material, she will be recording soon. I was fighting tears through the entire memorial and let a few go when Jennifer Hudson sang. But, when Judith Hill sang this song, before I know it I was crying without the ability to stop. I will never forget Michael, the memorial and her.

Bernadette in San Antonio, TX | 7/8/2009, 6:31 pm EST

I was extremely pleased at the voice if this singer at the memorial of Michael Jackson, he obviously saw the talent that she posseses and invited her for his tour “This Is It”. It is such a pain to see so many people saying bad things about him when he did so much good in his life. Michael is in GODS hands now and we are not his judge so stop all the ranting and raving about the negative attention he endured. God Bless Michael’s children and give them peace and strength to deal with all the “childish” ridicule from all of the negative people.No matter what anyone thinks or says….he was their father and we need to respect that fact!!!…..RIP Michael!!!

I never knew about dancing till I watched michael do his thang.. even though am all grown and with family now but still remember trying to imitate michael’s moves. he has done so much for everyone of all colors. his charity has blessed alot of poor families around the world and havent seen any other celebrity charity bigger than MJs. pple say alot about the KING but remember only Gods judgement matters. I hope the Jakson family find peace during this difficult time. DAMN MJ its tru, “pac said, ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG….” we love yu and may jah rest yo soul in eternal peace. jah bless.

Sloshy you are a wierdo.
I think that so many people are really focusing on the that stuff that wasn’t proven. I am mfocusing on the man that helped so many less fortunate and his legacy will live on.
Beside Michael has passed on and he will be remembered as a kind and loving man with the heart of a child.
Frankly i am sick of you closed minded people who can’t get out of their pathetic selves long enough to open up and see the truth about such an awesome man.

REST IN PEACE MJ. THE WORLD CANT HURT YOU ANYMORE.

Billy Jean | 7/8/2009, 6:34 pm EST

John, Texas | 7/8/2009, 6:34 pm EST

Hard to believe that he’s gone. It pains me to hear so many people that would continue to talk bad about Michael even after his death. If we were all famous maybe evidence would come to light about each of us that would be, less than flattering? Think of all the other people that we idolize, are they perfect, is anyone? Enjoy the big gig in the sky MJ and R.I.P.

Janie in PA | 7/8/2009, 7:01 pm EST

I find it so amazing on how many assholes are really in this world today,that they can`t show an ounce of respect for a family that lost a loved one, let alone no respect for MJ`s 3 kids. Haven`t anyone of you had any teaching`s as a child???? I`m from the era of Elvis Presley,I loved him dearly,his music,his hard work and yes even his faults,i feel the same with MJ, now there are 2 special entertainers in my heart forever.You should all try to walk in their shoes just once,maybe we`ll see your names in BRIGHT LIGHTS what will you for the WORLD?? My thoughts, prayers,and love go out to the Jackson family and his precious 3 children, love to all.
RIP MICHAEL

Let it go... | 7/8/2009, 7:01 pm EST

How much have you done to help anyone? probably nothing.. One because you bout ain’t got nothing to give. With an attitude like that I know you don’t have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out!!! a–hole. Get a life and live it..

What are you all going to say when the kids tal like how the 3 sisters crammed the mocraphone in her face and told her to “Speak Up” I bet that wasn’t rehesred in the car after all it was only a dead bocy in acasket 3 ft in ftont of her wouldn’t you cry. Don’t even get me started the are laying the cement in Neverland as we speak Papa Jow cut that deal days after his son died and then ruthlessly promoted is new “record Label, artist and NEW heheh Blueray tecnology venture @ The Bet Music awards with his buddy laghing and saying Debbie Rowe has nothing to do with what they are doing, Uhn does he mean promoting…please and let us speak for who we want to choose who will, was and Is the “Greatest Entertainer of All Time. Take that. a little reality in this circus of a family and Mariah in a low cut hoochie dress ok but @ a funeral oh it was a memorial but there was a body in a casket with no brain. Go figure.

Even the haters are here, reading about Michael Jackson. If you hate him so badly, why would you bother to come here and leave a comment? That’s the problem with haters, they have to butt their nose into EVERYTHING, even things they don’t care about to spread their hate. Haters are a subhuman species who can only be happy trying to make everyone else as miserable as them.
Why don’t you haters just mind your own business. Your words mean nothing to the people who enjoyed MJ. In fact, you all look a little stupid to be honest.
RIP MJ.

Everyone is commenting like MJ was a God or the greatest person that ever lived. This is why our country is heading down the slippery slope of demise, b/c all we want to talk about is a entertainer. What about N. Korea, Cap & Trade, Economy, Our poor excuse for a governmental office, Iran, the list goes on and on……

I thought Judith Hill did a great job,i can`t believe there r so many aholes in this world today that have NO respect for a family that just lost a loved one,and NO RESPECT for 3 children that adored their father, who are we to judge anyone?MJ had his judgement day by the one and only judge.Take a good look in the mirror people what do you see?
My era was Elvis,then came MJ i loved them both for what they stood for,good,bad,indifferent,they were the greatest entertainers ever.My prayers go to the Jackson family and his 3 precious children.Peace at last Michael.

the memorial was very well done i am so very proud and delighted to have been able to view it and they all were wondereful the way they remember mj he will always live on

Janie in PA | 7/8/2009, 7:19 pm EST

I find it so amazing on how many assholes are really in this world today,that they can`t show an ounce of respect for a family that lost a loved one, let alone no respect for MJ`s 3 kids. Haven`t anyone of you had any teaching`s as a child???? I`m from the era of Elvis Presley,I loved him dearly,his music,his hard work and yes even his faults,i feel the same with MJ, now there are 2 special entertainers in my heart forever.You should all try to walk in their shoes just once,maybe we`ll see your names in BRIGHT LIGHTS what will you for the WORLD?? My thoughts, prayers,and love go out to the Jackson family and his precious 3 children, love to all.Peace at last MICHAEL.
RIP MICHAEL

Penny | 7/8/2009, 7:19 pm EST

Michael will be greatly missed by my family, I saw the memorial service yesterday and my heart was very heavy and sadden, Especially when his daughter got up on stage to bid her dad good bye and how great of a dad he was. And, for the rest of them clowns that are still trying to cut him down, GET OVER YOUR SELF, There is also a judgement coming for you one day,
Remember the saying: Those without sin let him cast the first stone.
Michael was found NOT GUILTY.

WHAT PART DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND.
And further more, He did not do those things, It was all about bringing him down and how much money they could have gotten from him.

It’s so sad that Michael Jackson passed away! Judith Hill sounds amazing. She will go far in her career. If you enjoy listening to her, you may also enjoy Alexz Johnson.

Melody Plano TX | 7/8/2009, 7:19 pm EST

I went to one of his concerts in the early 80’s and loved every minute of it. I was alone in the parking lot afterwards not wanting to be all crazy trying to get to him. All of a sudden a bus came out the side and the door opened & someone yelled “Hey pretty lady come here.” I looked around to see who they were yelling at and they said yes you and pointed to me. I was in shock! I went up to the bus and a man named David (said he was their mgr. and it was ok) I stepped into the bus and boy was it nice (for the 80’s) I saw Tito & Jermaine & someone way in the back, I was so nervous I couldn’t speak. The bus driver cont.

brenda | 7/8/2009, 7:20 pm EST

he was a great performer but all the hype is really incalled for .so he was great in his field but was not an angel may he rest in peace that’s all anyone should say.

Laura | 7/8/2009, 7:20 pm EST

Please remember MJ by his music and dancing…leave the rest in the past!!(don’t judge) My 2 faveorite KINGS are gone **RIP** REST IN PARADISE* MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS PRESLEY

Mike S | 7/8/2009, 7:20 pm EST

Michael Jackson is simply amazing and will be greatly missed. I’m so anxiously awaiting his new album that is supposed to be released hopefully soon. Everyone that worked on it with him is saying that it is off the charts and he will most likely have number 1 hits for years to come. I hope so. Michael will be smiling from the sky at his work and how he has inspired so many people. We love you Michael!!

Restlessgypsy | 7/8/2009, 7:22 pm EST

Judith did a fine job.Will she be the next beg thing? who knows. Time will tell.
The blond guitarist that some of you have questioned is Orianthi. A great new guitarist on the scene.Shes young and very good. She has played with the likes of Carlos Santana and Steve Vai. She’s awesome.
I was never really a fan of MJ’s, not my kinda music, i like my music, hard and loud, but he did have a talent. He could dance, and i think tried to live a good life. But being human, no one really knows what lurked beneath the surface.Most of us show one face to the public, and another in private, and i’m sure he was no different.
I personally don’t think we should put anyone on a pedestal, no one living is worthy. You may love someones music, or their work of art whatever it may be, but stay grounded, they are no better than you.Sure they may have made more money than you, or was in the spotlight or grabbed alot of attention, but they are no more important than you or i. We are are important in this life in one way or another, and we are, i hope loved very much by our families as well.
Was Mj the king of pop? that could be debated, he has not been a big music force in many years.He’s selling many albums right now, and its sad that people waited until now to buy them and support him now, but at least it will go a little ways at paying some of his debt, and help for the future of his children.
To his family, sympathy. To his children especially, may you have a happy life going forward, beware the darkness of celebrity,stay grounded and many,many condolences.

bern | 7/8/2009, 7:23 pm EST

The negative comments are a sign of ignorance. Just think if one of your parents die and you hear some of the comments that were made on this blog, how would you feel at a time like this? Jeep said that he really don’t care if MJ is dead. He then contradicted himself and said that he cares for his kids. Listen people. These kids will forever have access to every piece of media that is written or shown. This information will be available to them forever. It doesn’t matter if they never watch television, use the internet, or see a newspaper until they are 30 years old. At the age of 31, they will read the hateful things that were said about their father. Most of you know that if someone talks about your mother or father in a disrespectful way…… These children will be messed up. It will take more endurance that you could ever have, to overcome the years of ridicule that has been cast upon their father. Let us respect these children as we would want ours to be respected.

Dianna Akin ,Fort Smith,Ar. | 7/8/2009, 7:24 pm EST

I grew up listening to Michael and the Jackson Five,I was fifteen when I first heard Michael. We all make mistakes growing up. No matter what happened in Michael’s personal life, he was a great musical artist and deserves our respect. My prayers go out to the family and freinds because I know what it’s like to lose someone.

Daniel from Warri | 7/8/2009, 7:24 pm EST

Michael is a legend and will be remembered for years to come. There’s no one like Him! RIP Michael! I love you.

Angry MJ fan | 7/8/2009, 7:25 pm EST

People need to respect Mj. There is karma in this world and all this negative energy that you have for MJ, represents ur dirty ugly soul. Let him RIP. The last of the icons is now gone and he will forever be missed! BTW the money Cali spent is not nearly enough to even begin to repay the money MJ gave to the many charities in cali, so before you start whining, how about you do some homework?

sandi | 7/8/2009, 7:25 pm EST

If you can’t take hearing another word about Michael. Why are you reading the blog? DUH!!!

lela mcgoon frm fiji | 7/8/2009, 7:26 pm EST

I used to fan him alot!!! people who hated him should be ashamed of themselves! he was always with me when my father died listening to his songs was my comferter. miss him so much

tranquil warrior | 7/8/2009, 7:26 pm EST

For those who have negative things to say about MJ. Consider this; believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Observe that negative voice in your own head creates negative thoughts and feelings inside of you. You can’t believe your lying mind as it spends half it’s time attacking you, sabotaging you and making you – your own worst enemy. One can only speak from their own reality – the world they create for self. People make up stories about you in your own circle that are not true. People in one’s own family and community think different, feel different and have different opinions than you about the same person, situation or occurrence. Your eyes are fooled by the reflection of light. Things are rarely what it seems to be. Take a look in the mirror – who is looking back at you? As you judge yourself – you judge others. God gave MJ a gift. He suffered for bad decisions and poor choices – the consequences. MJ – Lived Large – Died Young. Sympathy to loved ones, family, friends and fans for their loss. May God Bless and protect his children and family. MJ has transcended returned to the Source, may your soul R.I.P.

Nalau Bingeding, Port Moresby | 7/8/2009, 7:27 pm EST

Michael Jack has a big influence on many of us in this world. I watched the MJ tribute from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea and tears just came streaming from my eyes. I shed more tears on my way to work as MJ’s songs and dance moves flash across my mind. MJ surely is gone but what he has achieved in his 50 years on this earth has captivated every soul, black, white and yellow. MJ, may you rest in peace.

Dondi2735 | 7/8/2009, 7:27 pm EST

@Annea, I said the same thing. I don’t believe there’s a snowballs chance in hell that Micheal was actually in that coffin. There’s no way the family would risk it, all it would take was one kooky fan.
Besides, what hugely popular family has a “Personal” 20 minute memorial of their own? I believe the 20 minutes the family spent at the Liberty center was to remove Michael from that casket before it was taken to the Staples center.

Lesa | 7/8/2009, 7:27 pm EST

surfcityhb | 7/8/2009, 7:27 pm EST

It’s sad to see the racial comments in response to this story and those that were made during the memorial. If anything, when you listen to his music, one begins to understand that Michael Jackson eschewed racial divisions, labels and categorizations–which is perhaps one of the reasons why he was so popular among all races and cultures. I think he really did want people to be judged by the “content of their character.”

I don’t know if he was the best entertainer ever, but I know he certainly was, at least, this generation’s Elvis or Beatles in terms of innovation, appeal and talent. And I, for one, am greatly saddened by the loss of one so talented.

As a Biola grad myself, I am delighted to see a fellow grad–many years after me–Judith Hill, be acknowledged. The talent I saw at Biola was stunning, and I am glad to see someone who studied there get some props.

we lost an icon of our generation, his accomplishments will remain in our hearts, and i hope that the message in his songs will be realized by everyone in this damned world. thank you Michael.. his lost is just like a pin-prick but it will go straight to our hearts…every time we hear his music,, we will feel his love and compassion, to all the detractors of Michael, shame on you… we love you Michael…

Michael Jackson i’ve always loved you no matter what anyone said, you’re always my number one in my heart, you’re the king of pop, the world showed they’re love for you’re memorial, the tributes was wonderful, Judith Hill was wonderful everyone loved her performance, you’re a great man you’ve touched many many many lives you will never ever be forgotten, you’re time here on earth was up you’ve done you’re job here now you’re in heaven the lord knew what he put you here for and you’ve done it all now you’re in a better place i knew you was lokin down on the world saying to youself i’ve done all that, well Micheal yes you did, so Mike will be missed…………..i love you Mike

betta | 7/8/2009, 7:30 pm EST

I can see why Michael would want her singing with him.
I was wondering who she was.
Thanks!
She’s incredible!!!!!
She may not have had a chance to tour with him, but she made MJ history with this song.

Nikki | 7/8/2009, 7:30 pm EST

My family & I were wondering who she was. She did an awesome job. RIP MJ

lilmama | 7/8/2009, 7:31 pm EST

okay you guys are making a big deal about this girl Judith girl i don’t think she can sing all that great.. anyway.. i didn’t get a chance to look at the memorial i did see bits and pieces and it looked coo

Take-1 | 7/8/2009, 7:31 pm EST

America chewed Michael Jackson up and spit him out – once again leaving Black America to pick up the pieces of his legacy and reclaim him. Rev Al Sharpton and Berry Gordy spoke with authority on Tuesday. MJ was the greatest entertainer who EVER lived. BTW, Elvis was a thief…

Santa | 7/8/2009, 7:31 pm EST

Michael had serious problems he was a good artist but a very troubled man none the less. I agree with some good things said about his music and charities he helped. But i also believe he participated in very strange acts in his personal life.

Denise | 7/8/2009, 7:33 pm EST

May god bless the world and those who believe as they please. But one thing Michael Jackson is the same as each of us a human being. We all know someone who has not always followed rules and we know people who live as clean as they can but god knows us all and he did not show anybody nothing but good things Michael had done. May his family have our blessings and prayers in their time of lost and we all learn to make a little love for others

Michael need every years remembrance for what he gave the world is bigger than what mohammed gave but not jesus.

Regina | 7/8/2009, 7:34 pm EST

Elvis was the best and always will be. Micheal had a good voice and alot of talent, and could move. Love to seen what Elvis would have been able to do, if it was a different time for him to show his stuff. Only right now, God knows where Michael is at. Hope he made it through those pearly gates and made peace with the Heavely Father. that sill make all things better for the family and kids. If he did, hope the family makes their peace with God, and will see him again.

Monica, Upstate New York | 7/8/2009, 7:35 pm EST

My thoughts and prayers go out to MJ’s family and three children. MJ now you can rest in peace, maybe people will leave you alone. I pray that the children will remain with the grandparents. You can see how well they bond with the family. The children should never be split up, they already been threw so much, leave them alone. I also would like to state, I can’t believe the people making money off of Michael on Ebay you should be ashamed of yourself, the program was a gift from the family. I will never forget you MJ and I’m sure GOD is watching over your children. God Bless and rest in Peace.

CHRISTIAN101: You need to go back to the basic….JUDGE NOT LES YE BE JUDGE….THAT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK. MICHAEL DID NOTHING WRONG ITS FOOLS LIKE YOU WHO CONDEMned HIM WITHOUT PROOF THATS WRONG…JUST LIKE YOUR HYPERCRITES BEFORE YOU THAT CONDEMNED CHRIST.

Jimmy Zarene | 7/8/2009, 7:35 pm EST

He was a legend and he will always be remembered forever….As for Judith she did a great job

lovergirl | 7/8/2009, 7:36 pm EST

did not think she was good at all! I was actually bit disappointed of her performances. Her voice wasn’t strong enough for those songs. However, I thought the little boy who sang was wonderful.

shadowsoulangel | 7/8/2009, 7:36 pm EST

May you rest in Peace Michael.
Please to those only sees the Negative side of every person, please learn how to forgive & forget. Past is past, please do give some respect & consideration on Michael’s children. They did nothing to harm others, they are innocent. Please stop the Racist, Gossip, Critique,please stop Judging others, so they won’t judge you. None of Human living have rights to keep anyone down nor Judge on someone. If you are Holy, born as a God then you have the rights to Judge. If you were a human being made of Flesh & Blood, who also does mistakes,faults,wrong doing in life. Also will die one day, only time can say that when it is… It’s the fact that good ones goes first. facts that who’s goes first, who goes later. Please give respect, peace and some love…Please open your heart to be more understanding…

Look forward not backward….Not backward……

Judith was very good, but I think Shaheen Jafargholi was brilliant. It was a beautiful memorial fit for a king. MJ was much more than the King of Pop, I think they are right on track to call him the Greatest Entertainer. I will miss him.

You know all the tears that are being shed are for ourselves. Michael will never cry again so lets get on with life. Let us also not forget the other families who lost a love one i.e. Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays. Let us stand together and walk the walk not just talk the talk. Be blessed

Tara | 7/8/2009, 7:37 pm EST

Oh my gosh are you idiots even listening to yourselves. I can not believe that people would even fix their mouth to say such hateful things! What Michael did for the world and this country was amazing and no one will ever donate 50m to charities. The messages in his songs were amazing and instead of criticizing listen to his words and make your self and this world a better place. It is not our place to judge remember that!!!! I Love you Michael and will continue to remember you everyday! God bless his family and beautiful children.. You are Truly the One and Only King of Pop Forever!!!!

never had the chance to meet Elvis or Micheal. But they brought a whole new meaning to entertainment. My only regret in my life time was not being able to meet them both . To all Micheals family, GOD BLESS you and keep the strength and love for one another.For the negative people . don’t cast stones at glass houses.

His memorial was a spectacle. He hasn’t even been buried yet, come on, put him in the ground…somewhere and let him get on with his life, wherever it may be…

marcia | 7/8/2009, 7:40 pm EST

what family in there right mind would set all day of the funeral to listen to music that they hear everyday of their lives,than put his supposed to be daughter on stage to make a fool of herself.the family should have been home thanking the good lord for the ones they have with them.

blank... | 7/8/2009, 7:40 pm EST

it was a wonderful memorial && it had people crying… but honestly i don’t think he was in the casket because if he was in there they would’ve opened it for the “WORLD” to see

Siobhan | 7/8/2009, 7:41 pm EST

A great entertainer and philanthropist died suddenly. People who loved and admired him are still in shock, still trying to process it. To those who say “enough already. He was just a guy”. Why complain? Switch the channel, turn off the radio /tv, read a book, go for a walk, play your CDs or a video game. No one is forcing you to participate. Remember when Princess Diana died? The news went on for weeks. When I’d had enough I found something else to occupy my time; I didn’t bitch and complain about it.
So, to the complainers:stop being so self-centered and meanspirited. Be gracious enough to allow people their time to grieve and celebrate someone they love and admire.

shadowsoulangel | 7/8/2009, 7:43 pm EST

Michael is the King of Pop, he was not just an icon, he was sensitive, caring,loving,sentimental,funn y, shy, soft & warmth hearted human being, who cared for his children,family, friends and fans. He cared for children in Charities, he contributed so much on this World. Please stop judging him.
About Judith, she was amazing singer. Michael had great, unique taste…..

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 7:43 pm EST

I was wondering who she was this morning! She is so pretty and her voice reminds me of Jasmine Sullivan’s voice; it has so much soul to it!

like a bog | 7/8/2009, 7:43 pm EST

Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian, besides being the best entertainer. No one has the rights to give negative comments about him. If one thinks he or she is better than Michael Jackson in every way, then that person can critize him. Otherwise, be silent.

Pam_ Papua New Guinea | 7/8/2009, 7:44 pm EST

Come On People,Don’t you guys have a life to live. MJ has played his part in the Music Industry and not only that but he has done so much for Charity too.

Please leave MJ alone…. Stop being assholes. You have done nothing good for the world so why waste you damn time criticizing MJ. MJ is too good….

LOVE YOU MJ. We will miss yo but you music will remain in our hearts forever.

R.I.P MJ – the King of Pop!

john | 7/8/2009, 7:44 pm EST

When you weigh something,usually on a 2 tier scale. There’s a heavier side most likely. As MJ
his life consisted of MORE accomplishments, then not. What he
did for our country around the world can’t be measured. All the Pros won’t be brought down my a few
accusations that were found to be
false in a court of law. How’s the
skeltons in your closet ???

Rest in peace Michael.

MJ was the best I never belive the
press about all his problems,the real problem is the press he just
could’t take it no more too many money hungry promotors,lawyers,parents
may you rest in peace MJ you will never ne forgoten…hey what can I said my spelling is not that great
I’m Dominican Ha! L.O.L

MJ is ewally at rest finally. He gave all his talent, love,and above all his cute smile. He had to be a very strong man to endure all he had during his short time on earth. I truly saw another side of him when Brooke Shields spoke. Sing and dance with the angels MJ. SMILE NOW EVERYDAY

MW, New York City | 7/8/2009, 7:46 pm EST

My eyes are still puffy from all of the crying I did yesterday as I watched this absolutely perfect farewell to a deserving musician, humanitarian and man. I too wondered who the singer was at the end – Judith’s voice is simply amazing!

As for Michael, I take comfort in the fact that the Bible says that God takes his chosen ones away to save them from the evil in the world. Seems like this is the case here, and for Michael there has already been too much evil directed at him. May he now find eternal, peaceful rest with his maker.

pinkster | 7/8/2009, 7:47 pm EST

woohoo now my 13 yr old son can go out and play now…

Annonymous | 7/8/2009, 7:47 pm EST

“sfinsf” was right in his assessment. Michael was an enormously talented man who spent the last years of his life struggling with mental illness and depression that had gripped him. It is my beleif that if his father really abused him and the other children, that this was the major factor in his inability to cope with the stresses that often accompany fame and fortune. My first realction when learning of his death was extreme sadness. I did not think of the other controversies surrounding his life, but about how his talent enhanced the lives of so many, myself and millions of people throughout the world. Lisa testified that she knew how troubled he was and desperately tried to help him, but could not find the solution. She tried her best, and maybe if more tried to help him, he would still be here today. A lesson to us all: If you know someone struggling with emotional issues, reach out to them and try to help them receive the healing they need to survive.

L.D. | 7/8/2009, 7:47 pm EST

if it cost the city of L.A. 4mil to have a memorial at the staples center,, someone is very over paid…the staples has not asked for anything!! usually the family takes care of expenses, or insurance!! sounds like a little greed, rest in peace michael!!!

Michael is not gone. Right now, people are mourning a body, a skeletal. Michael will never die. He still lives. His spirit lives. He lives in us, all of us. Everyone needs to celebrate his new life. His new beginning. Michael will always live on forever and ever. Please, stop crying. Michael is in a better place, and with THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!!! May his spirit live amongst all of us,…..everyone. May GOD BLESS the Jackson family.

I feel a bit let down by the memorial. We are talking about MJ here…..the concerts and the videos he did for us were the best of who he was… I mean the best. The memorial wasn’t a 10th as good as his worst of anything that he has done. I think the memorial should have lived up to MJ standards and it didn’t. I want better for him!!!! He is the best of my generation and I know there will be no other!!

joann cipriano | 7/8/2009, 7:51 pm EST

i know the jackson family would really like to have michael rest forever at neverland but there seems to be some legal difficulty over this but i do know that if the jackson family was to regain ownership of neverland that thay could have michael cremated and place his ashes and urn placed in a shrine befiting the king of pop and that could be kept at neverland ranch forever. please remember heros are not only known for there bravery but for what thay do for mankind and humanity and michael you are a true american hero of the first order. we will all love and miss you as you sleep in the hands of God.

mj was a part of all of our lives for 40 years— he gave so much to the world, he touched so many lives,and he didn’t want anything in return— his past was questionable, but it is not up to us to judge him— god will take care of that— the loss of this person that had so much talent and love to share is what we will all miss— the jackson family is hurting— it is evident how much this family loved and support one another, no matter what— i admire and respect this family because their example of love is rare now days— the criticism of mj life is now mute because it’s the music and his humanitarian deeds that far exceed anything else— god bless the jackson family and i hold you in my prayers

shadowsoulangel | 7/8/2009, 7:52 pm EST

Thank you very much for everything Michael, i am truly appreciated it..May you rest in Peace…. you remain alive in every hearts you touched…. I love you, we love you….

Typicak LA scene… fake fake and more fake. The Jacksons in real life don’t even talk. They had to keep Joe low key as not to plug his record label. Al Sharpton telling all of us we’re the ones different not black man who was a tratior to his race and his gender who made millsions upon millions off of us only to have us pay for his funeral… Ok Al whatever

BARBIE52 | 7/8/2009, 7:53 pm EST

AM 57, THE LAW SAID MJ WAS INOCEBNT,HE WAS AWSOME WITH HIS MUSIC, AS A PERSON WE DIDN’T GAVE HIM ANY PRIVACY, WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE? ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE, THAT IS HIS RIGHT, NOT ANY OF US, LET THE FAMILY ALONE TO MOURNE MJ IN PEACE, SOME SHOULD BITE THEIR TONGUE,STILL IN THE PAST? GET A LIFE, IS JULY 2009

Mabel | 7/8/2009, 7:53 pm EST

I love Michael Jackson songs , the way he moved , I am person that don’t live over someone else live . I don’t buy books that talk about what wrong these actors or singer are living there life. I go for what they are doing for them self and others. I believed in Micheal always, I am sad that the Lord call Michael Jackson so early, But I know something the Lord knows why he called him for .I know that Michael Jackson is in a better place . I know that Michael Jackson will watch over his children from where he is at .

I will never for get you Michael Jackson, for all the good times that my brother and sister and I had dancing to your music. Thank you so much !!

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 7:53 pm EST

It is not about time to focus the negative motion but give respect to his music. If there are no positive words to say to other than be quiet. We live in this world, full of accusations or rumors please people introspect. yourself in the mirror and judge yourself have you done something nice to other? Let embrace his music and his work to help AID and other charities NOT create or JUDGE him for whatever reason. GOD forgives us on our mistake so WHO are we having a right to judge him after all.
God bless his family and children.

We will miss you Michael. You have brought so much joy to all of us with your music. You are God’s gift to us. My deepest sympathy to the Jackson family.

The two greatest famous individuals ever lived were Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. Their eyes showed the most love and kindness. They were the angels that born as humans to save the poor. Yet this world is too evil for their gentle souls that God decided to take them back to Heaven.

GrammarPoliceSGT | 7/8/2009, 7:56 pm EST

This is for Mike’s comment about the grammar police: we do have a life. We’re just unifying the effort to spruce up the English language because we’re tired of other countries thinking Americans are stupid. Anyone in the world can get on the internet, and those that think Americans are lazy, insipid human beings have all the proof they need when reading the internet. MICHAEL (because that’s how one girl said his name was spelled since Biblical times:MICHAEL and not Michael) Jackson did leave a mark on music and his future contributions will be missed. However, he was no king of any kind. He was an entertainer, and a fine one. What I think is sad about all this comes from a John Lennon song: “Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.” A month ago, if Michael Jackson was given an approval rating poll, as politicians are, I think it would be pretty low. Now that he has died, it seems that everyone loves Michael. While the sentiments many have written on here may be genuine and heartfelt, I can’t help feeling a little hollow. I’m not going to be hypocritical and say how much I loved him because I didn’t. I didn’t hate him either. What I do appreciate now as well as a month ago and before is his music. That lives on; and there’s no reason to mourn that.

Now Mike, the grammar-police- basher, you didn’t make any typos in your diatribe on losers like me, so can you find any in mine?

shadowsoulangel | 7/8/2009, 7:56 pm EST

To all Michael Jackson Children,brothers,sisters,moth ers and fathers, please be strong, look at the sky and ’smile’ as Michael favorites song. May the Love God Bless & Guide you all……..

Peace ya all guys…..

gail | 7/8/2009, 7:56 pm EST

We all will miss you. Your music,dancing and everything you did for the whole world and its people. You really have made us stop and think. We are not to judge each other for we will be judged only by one person no matter what our faith. No one is perfect. You have had a rough life on earth and I truly hope you are at peace now. Sing and dance with the angels now MJ. I am certain your children will become good adults as you were a great father. KEEP SMILE ON YOUR FACE.

Lori J | 7/8/2009, 7:56 pm EST

Are you all serious? I thought Judith was the least talented vocalist of the evening! Pay attention, her pitch was off and had no style whatsoever. The little 9 year ol boy from Brittains’ Got Talent was 10 times the singer as she. they should have had Lionell or stevie wonder lead those songs—BAD CHOICE!, But awesome event RIP MJ

Tell City, IN guy | 7/8/2009, 7:57 pm EST

Why is everyone comparing Elvis to MJ. There is no comparison because they were two completly differant artists. They were both great entertainers and without them music wouldnt be what it is today. So to those of you who want to put any legend down, step back and realize one thing, YOU will never have the fame and fortune they did.

Melody Plano TX | 7/8/2009, 7:58 pm EST

driving to the Dupont Plaza hotel. I get out with them but was so terrified and excited all at the same time. David (mgr) went to the club and I followed. I was 19 or 20. I told him I really needed to go back to reunion arena to meet up with my sister. He said they wanted me to stay and meet Michael later, and they wanted me to go on tour w/ them. I was so freakin shocked and amazed. I think I had 1 drink then David had their chauffer take me back to Reunion. My sister didn’t believe me. A $100. bet later when she was talking to David and meeting Tito on the elevator. I never thought they would end up so loved & honored by so many. I personally (my own opinion) know in my heart that my decisions are what carry me through each day. My choices make me a better person. Believing in what feels right inside. I did do the right thing that day by not going, (I was so young and inexperienced) but I have a special place that I hold dear!

Ro | 7/8/2009, 7:58 pm EST

I feel so sympathetic against Michael’s mother and father. Michael and I are the same age and I grew up listening to the Jackson Five’s music. I give my props to Joe Jackson, and even though we may believe he was a bad father, he is the one that made the Jackson Five.

Eddy A., Elmont NY | 7/8/2009, 7:59 pm EST

Michael is a gift from God to the world.

Sarah from Va. | 7/8/2009, 7:59 pm EST

MJ was a troubled soul,but he gave so much of his self to the world he done a lot of wonderful things for the children, he was a boy in a mans body who enjoyed being a kid why can’t people see all the good he done he was a great artist with 3 beautiful children that he adored.he had that rare disease that caused him to get large white spots all over the body I have a black friend with the same disease and it’s awful and if she had the money she would have her skin bleached all 1 color like mj did so it’s not that he wanted to be white he really didn’t have a choice so why can’t all of you just back off and let the man rest in peace and give his family some peace.All this negitivity can’t be good for the children and god knows they didn’t ask for this.So rest in peace Michael and god please watch over the family and let them find some much needed peace

Victoria | 7/8/2009, 8:01 pm EST

It is so easy to spot the narrow minded, Rush-Limbaugh-type sheep, because they all spew the same rhetoric of hatefulness and judgment towards anyone outside of their little box. And, they ARE hateful and disgustingly judgmental with an air of “I’m better that you” about themselves. Those people are the ones who love to judge and hate people like Michael Jackson, who actually, was a much better person than them in that he was NOT like them. He may have had problems, as many entertainers have had THROUGH THE AGES, but he had a goodhearted caring human being. And, his skin was not bleached. There is no mechanism that bleaches skin. Michael had the disease that he said he had. I’ve seen pictures of his skin without makeup. He may have gotten some type of treatments via a dermatologist to help his skin even-out, but that’s all. He did have to wear makeup, as well, to cover these blotches.

cperk56 | 7/8/2009, 8:01 pm EST

To all you racist player haters, and all others, Michael was the greatest entertainer of all times, even better than Elvis, who was a racist. I am a black person and I didn’t judge him by his color. It didn’t matter to me if he was green or blue. He fulfilled a purpose in this life and open doors for many blacks, and other to fulfill their dreams in the music industry. The memorial was what it was supposed to be, a memorial fit to honor a king. Michael Jackson.

Angela | 7/8/2009, 8:01 pm EST

I thought the tribute to MJ was beautiful… Ushers song really touched my heart but Judith Hill raised an eyebrow… She was awesome and it goes to show MJ still seems to amaze US even in his spirit… May GOD bless the Jackson family and may MJ rest in peace. I also agree the media and the new need to focus on what MJ did for the country and stop focusing on what he did in his private life and all those so call (FRIENDS) of MJ’s that are just now coming out of the woods claiming they told MJ about what the pills would do too him… Yeah rite.. if it was so said to him by the many (FRIENDS) that he should stop taking so many prescriptions… Michael Jackson would be ALIVE! PEOPLE NEED TO STOP TRYING TO GET PAID AND PAY SOME RESPECT TO MICHAEL AND HIS FAMILY! STOP it with the stories!!!!

I wish I were nearby Michael Jackson to call the ambulance the minute he collapsed . . but too late for the doctor next to him didn’t follow the physician cpr guidelines. MJ died because of someone’s error. If I was nearby, I would have given my heart to him so he could live . . .

i would like the haters to stop, it is getting old. i will miss Mike, he was very talented as well as a good person. he will be missed, we here in Gary still love him as well as the world does. marcia that little girl did not make a fool of herself, she stated how she felt about her father. if his sperm was used or not, that does not make you a daddy, when you raise , love and take care of them; that is what makes a parent. the memorial was beautiful, the family had a private funeral before the one we saw. they knew his fans would like to be a part of it.i just pray that God gives the family strength to get through, i know what it is like. love you mike.

Michael – I was at Cal State Fullerton in my Junior year at College on March 25th 1983 studying for an exam I had the next day. Motown was highlighting on TV that you were performing on the show. That night, in my college apartment watching TV I became a fan for life. I was mesmerized. In three minutes you set the world on fire to your talent. I went out the next day and bought Thriller. That album became my soul companion in May as finals came. You were loved. You were Christ Like in all that you did. Everything.

If your true life’s mission was to leave an impression on humanity that life is what we make it and we can have a tremendous impact on our world just by our actions and words – you Succeeded. If it was to move people into a more tolerant way of living with love as the platform, you soared. If it was to impact all of human kind with kindness and Generosity towards each other with true love that of charity you set the example.

The world is a much better place because you lived and you left an impression that will last through the Eternities.

May you RIP.

Judith Hill’s version of “Heal The World” was one of the best ways to pay tribute and end the memorial. She has a graceful and charming voice, and I look forward to hearing from her in the future. My thoughts are with the Jackson family and their freinds..

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 8:06 pm EST

I think that Judith has a really unique voice, I liked it. ^^ As for the above posts…

There are too many steoreotypes about Michael Jackson. Sure, he was very strange on the outside, and you can’t cover up the drugs and everything else, but his heart was in the right place. I feel bad for him because he was constantly framed for a crime he would never have commited. He really loved children and he would invite kids with cancer to his movie theatre and donate lots of money.

So lay off of him. ^_____^ Let’s move on. Michael, you are awesome!

Its sad that there are still A**holes out their in the world. Isn’t this family greiving enought that u guys are leaving nonsence crap. If you don’t have nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing at all. And for the person who said that MJ’s daughter making a fool of herself, leave her alone she just lost her dad…. I wonder how would u feel if the tables were turned on all ya negative P****. So, To the Jackson family I simply Sorry for your lost and my prayers are out their for you and your family. Please don’t mind these Idiots out here I guest their parents didnt teach them manners…

Ehsan, Dhaka, Bangladesh | 7/8/2009, 8:07 pm EST

MJ was such a great artist, who made revoulution to blending song with dance together…he was a real qualified artist in this earth…when we watch his performance, it feels that drums are used to bit according to MJ’s footstep..it feels like his steps coming from inside of his heart..the world has lost an uncompareable music man…may god keep his soul in peace…Lots of love to him and to his kids….

tiredoftheinsanity | 7/8/2009, 8:07 pm EST

Ok folks. Michael was a very talented individual. Music and dancing are the 2 things things that nobody(NOBODY)will ever match. Yes, he was VERY ecentric and he had his moments, but everybody does. If you say you dont, your’e a liar. We need to be respectful of his children who obviously love him and miss him. If you didn’t like MJ, thats fine, if you loved MJ, thats fine. He’s gone now. Whether he’s in heaven now or not is up to God and God only. I pray that MJ accepted Jesus into his life and that he is in heaven singing with the holy choir waiting on the rest of us.

Sarah Stormkrow | 7/8/2009, 8:08 pm EST

Out of all the performances I liked her the most and it’s about time someone said who she was. As for MJ I didn’t like him as a person and he had some issues however I loved him as an entertainer. The man could dance and he will be missed in some ways but not entirely.

Victoria, Texas | 7/8/2009, 8:08 pm EST

If you really want to honor and remember the man and his music,then go out and buy the videos and cd’s that he made along with those of all of his family.Now it is time to sit back and shut up and let the man and his family rest in peace.But I doubt that will happen.

Julia | 7/8/2009, 8:17 pm EST

I have to agree at MJ was a very talented singer. He did have some awesome songs and some really cool moves. But come on people…was he really such a hero?! What about the men and women that give their lives every day for our country? Where is their memorial? Where is Farrah Fawcett’s memorial? Or Billy Mayes? Answer that! I am not racist by no means but why should Micheal be treated any different that all the other famous people that have died in the last few weeks? I hate to say it but it is all about the race card! And might I add that MJ always wanted to be white…so come on! I am just about MJ’ed out! Enough! Let him RIP! I am so sick of hearing MJ was a hero…Mr King was a hero…well to some he might be, but not to me! I have my own definition of a hero and they are not no where on my list. Can’t wait til another famous black person dies to see what themedia does with that shit! RIP MJ!

TIRED OF THE HATERS | 7/8/2009, 8:17 pm EST

“Someone” you idiot(and the others), Michael gets all this praise because he was simply WAY more successful than the others who died around the same time. I mean the writing’s on the wall..if you have millions of fans trying to get tickets to your memorial service, you are one popular and LOVED person. I just don’t understand why people keep asking that same ridiculously STUPID question?! It’s obvious why his death gets so much airplay!! He was simply the BEST and his fans (which are MANY) want as much airplay on him as they can get! To the Michael Haters, get the
f%$# over it and accept the man’s genius!!! RIP MJ

There will never,ever be another entertainer of M.J’s caliber or with his talent period!!!. Mr. Berry Gordy put it quite eloquently
when he said that not only was M.J.
the king of “POP”, he was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.I concur ABSOLUTELY!

If only Michael is still alive to hear what these people are saying about him at the memorial, I think he wouldn’t need to take all those pills just to get some sleep. I think, he’ll sleep smiling knowing a lot of people really love and care for him… RIP MJ!! Miz u already!!

its still unreal tosee how many selfish people there are here that left comments-this was aliving breathing soul who passed-and yet most here are still judging him as if you hold some type of university degree that gives you the right to do that-how his family acted or didnt act is of no concern to us and shouldnt be to you-yu cant control how others behave-when yu assume things yu only make an ass out of you,point blank-none of us were there,so speculation is just that–im gonna pray for most of you here,and i thank god for sharing mj with the world-he is truly a legendary icon,and i love him

i think his mom is disrepecting him cause he never wanted his kids in the spotlight and since he has died all you see now is his kids.he didn’t want his kids to go through what he did so he protected them from stupid ppl.How sad that all his family is looking at is MONEY and his kids are suffering cause of it..shame on them..God Bless His kids..I wasn’t a MJ fan but i believed in what he wanted for his kids..

RMC/Puerto Rico | 7/8/2009, 8:20 pm EST

Good job judith you have a nice voice you will remember the day that you make everybody feel good when they hear you sing those songs and think about MJ The One and ONLY KING OF POP….RIP (And long Live the King)

tlsca1 | 7/8/2009, 8:21 pm EST

Michael Jackson was a great entertainer no doubt. But he called himself the King of Pop, the fans never dubbed him that. Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll dubbed that by others. Elvis was far more then the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis sang rock and roll, gospel, blues, country and so on. He was a complete entertainer for all people. People of all ages find something in Elvis that they could relate to, not just one particular type of music. Elvis is the rare entertainer in history whose shows were attended by multiple generations. Elvis only performed twice out of the United States, both times were in 1957 in Canada, that’s it. He was known world over and never even left to go on a world tour. That, in my view makes him the greatest entertaine ever. Elvis was the first to ever broadcast live via satellite to the world in 1973, a milestone.

he was a leader to me:( R.I.P MJ

Al Times | 7/8/2009, 8:21 pm EST

Dying was the best thing that could happen to MJ. He reach the point where he can no longer manage his overwhelming success to the point that his actions were getting weirder and weirder. I think his situation is very common amongst celebrity. If they could only learn to practice humility, life would be much easier for them.

Writerwannab | 7/8/2009, 8:23 pm EST

To those of you where are writing nasty and racist remarks about MJ, your parents obviously failed to teach you: If you have nothing nice to say about someone else, don’t say anything at all! Regardless of whether or not you believe the negative media coverage of MJ through the past 10 years or so, he was a human being, someone’s son, father, rother …etc. And his death is painful to a lot of people. Respect their grief, and don’t criticize! You don’t know a person’s life until you walk in his/her shoes. And, more importantly, as it is stated in the Bible: May he who has not sinned cast the first stone. You don’t walk on water; you should not have expected him too. And I doubt that those who criticize him could handle the stresses and stone-throwing that he had to tolerate. Shame on you! Please, STOP the hating now and let MJ rest in peace. He was never allowed to have peace in life. Show that you have SOME class and at least afford him some peace in death.
A special note to those of you scum who are selling memorial programs and unused tixs from the service yesterday on Craigslist and eBay, SHAME, SHAME, ON YOU! There is NO acceptable excuse for your greed! My sisters and I sat by our computer all day Sunday, waiting to see if either of us were selected to receive tickets. When we didn’t, we were so disappointed, we cried. We would have traded our eye teeth for a ticket because we really loved MJ’s incredible talent. I am without work and greatly in need of money, but there is no amount of money that I would have received for a program. NO AMOUNT!!!! So, those of you who are selling them for outrageous amounts are not true fans. If you were, you would treasure the program…not negotiate it to the highest bidder!!! Again, shame on you!!!

Mica | 7/8/2009, 8:24 pm EST

Everyone thats bringing up the bad stuff need to take it easy and look at yourself in the mirror. And as for his daughter talking those were real tears. And i hope that his momma gets custody of the kids because the real momma just wants what he gave the kids in his will.

Georgiana | 7/8/2009, 8:25 pm EST

I believe Judith Hill was great. She looked like one of the Jackson’s to me. lOVE U MICHAEL.

great performance there, Judith Hill. CONGRATULATIONS…

Thuli | 7/8/2009, 8:26 pm EST

MJ had such beautiful messages in his songs. Some he sang about the evil that the enemy put on him and some simply on love. Will always pray for him his family and loved and will be missed dearly. RIP MJ.

Rene Laurant | 7/8/2009, 8:26 pm EST

I really never heard of her in MJ’s part but its a good reason to let her sing in the memorial with the Jackson family and their friends, but its also bad judgement to front a talented and prominent legacy without knowing her origin and background…Its just ridicolous.

about his kids, i pray and hope that they will remain to the care of their grandmother…..bless their heart and hope they’ll find peace………..

b5jrr3 | 7/8/2009, 8:30 pm EST

I believe that the memorial was a fitting end to the pop singers life. They highlighted many achievements that he had made and presented it beautifully and tastefully. I believe that the talented crew from the canceled tour did a wonderful job helping us all to say goodbye to a legend. Usher’s performance, I felt, was the most moving. It was the most sincere in it’s presentation and moved me to tears. My heart goes out to Michael’s family, may you forever live knowing that he was and is a legend. The KING OF POP!

Linda P.,Lake Jackson Tx | 7/8/2009, 8:31 pm EST

i dont believe anyone here really knows michael jackson….dont pretend to know all the facts so you can judge and say that he was this and that….keep it as it is….he was a great artist…and thatll probably be all youll ever know to be true….and i never saw the memorial so i dont know that girl

ReHash | 7/8/2009, 8:33 pm EST

What do we see here Judith Hill performing in MJ’s memorial this symbolizes a new chapter in today’s society, A good voice,looks and better charisma very fantastic indeed. But the only thing i hate about her is TENACITY and ARROGANCE keep up with that snob nextime Jud!!…Hehe
Your not well worth with that.

K.E.N. in S.C. | 7/8/2009, 8:34 pm EST

I`m 4 yrs younger than M.J.,& i grew up listening to & then watching 1 master piece after another thru the decades. I`m a musician myself and I have written some stuff of my own,and I wish i had the ability to put words and music together like he did. I truly believe all the negativity comes from those people who wish they had a clue what to do with their misserable lives, (jelousy)! How about doing something constructive and get a hobby,(like music or something) and share your feelings positively,you might even like yourself alittle more, others might like you more as well. The music he brought to the world brought us all a little closer together (the world that is)and some of us learned something about our selves thru it. M.J. was a genious and deserves more respect than some of you are giving him,as for Judith Hill,(M.J.heard it thats why he chose her to be part of what could have been an awsome comeback for him.) We will all truly miss the “Greatest Entertainer that ever lived”! My prayers go out to the children & the entire Jackson family, and thanks for allowing us to attend a ceremony that most people would consider private. We will miss him .

MayorKemo | 7/8/2009, 8:34 pm EST

I thank God for the life of Michael. And thank michael, for a message like …Earth,We are the world,black or white and heal the world. M.J you are a messenger and you have delivered the message. May your soul rest in peace….Good night.

Shannon | 7/8/2009, 8:35 pm EST

For the person who praised Elvis Presley so highly, I think you need to get your facts straight. First of all, Michael Jackson did not dub himself the King of Pop, Elizabeth Taylor did. Second of all Elvis was a second rate thief and I don’t think he wrote many (if any) songs on his own. “My Babe”, written by the great Willie Dixon and sung by the great Little Walter a Chicago blues legend. That’s only one of many examples. Michael wrote all of his own material as a solo artist. Not only that, but since you want to judge MJ wasn’t Elvis a total pillhead as well, hello??

Rich, Lithonia, GA | 7/8/2009, 8:37 pm EST

Wow! Judith, you were awesome yesterday. I do hope your rendition of Heal the World is captured for commercial production. It was beautiful. A star left us and in his departure, he brought us you. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more of you.

MRS JONES | 7/8/2009, 8:40 pm EST

It is really sad that the people that are voicing negative opinions fail to realize that Michael Jackson stopped living a long time ago. There are some people who choose not to have problems, and there are those irresponsible, neglegant people who never get blammed for what they have done. MANY celebrities including ELVIS lived a life that others could speak negatively about, but in the end people opt to refer to his music compared to his drug or mental problems. Amazing, isn’t it? Why can’t Michael Jackson be who he was? Whether society realizes it or not “weird” exists in many aspects and honestly “normal” is a dream deferred. For those who say he has no humility- educate yourself about this man and how his charities even in his death will receive monies they could not imagin possible to aid children. In the end He was a son, brother, father, uncle, Person, and then an artist. Please respect the dead!!! God Bless The Jackson Family and Legacy!

ANITA | 7/8/2009, 8:41 pm EST

Debbie B/Boston | 7/8/2009, 8:50 pm EST

I personally think Al Sharpton said it best at M.Js memorial,when he spoke to M.Js 3 beautiful children.”your daddy was not strange it is strange what he had to deal with. I think M.J was such a victim of his very own sucess and yes this is one of the most tragic american stories ever told. But thats good ole america for ya one day you are loved then they will riducule you to death.Look where M.J ended up and it is the same with every other great artist of this great U.S of A.Rest on sweet prince remember the king is mighty in battle.

I didn’t particularly care for Judith Hill’s voice. Nothing special about it, couldn’t wait for the song to be over with, actually. Didn’t think she was good enough to perform in the memorial service. Same for the HORRIBLE performance by that british kid who sang “Who’s Lovin You”….Jamia Simone Nash should’ve performed that song instead.

Va. Seaman | 7/8/2009, 8:55 pm EST

First off, people, THIS ISN’T ABOUT ELVIS SO LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT! MJ had more worldwide reach than any other and this entire world shakes with sadness at our deeply felt loss. I wish for all those who wish to keep slinging mud at MJ to tell me what they eyewitnessed!! Not what they read from any document anywhere tell me what you saw!! Oh, that’s right, YOU WERE NOT THERE !!!
It is not hard at all for to think that some mean and greedy adults told their kids to lie and bear false witness to gain money they could only dream of. NUFF SAID ON THAT!

Ms. Hill was indeed good and handled her job well and I’m sure that like any other high caliber performer, MJ only wants to keep the best of the best around and so she was honored to be picked by him so yes, she is good and one day will carry forth in her own right possibly.

Please, ENOUGH WITH THE EVIL AND HATE, LET MJ REST IN PEACE!!!!!!

No one can deny Michael Jackson was a great human being. He was truly a selfless person, unlike many other celebrities. Now he will be at peace in the Lords heave.

Felina | 7/8/2009, 8:57 pm EST

I can’t belive you people. Saying such mean things like that about someone that has died. It dioen’t matter how you feel about that person. Talling mean about the dead is just plain wrong!! Heal the world.. I think he was talking about people lie you. Have some digntiney.. He has family that just might be reading some of this. How would you feel if this was writen about your parents or your brother, or just a close friend. May God and Michael look down on you and help you see the light to a happy heart. I pray loard help those whome need the light in there heart and help them have some respect for the dead..

But For Grace | 7/8/2009, 8:57 pm EST

For the person who stated Michael Jackson is a “dead freak”: Being right in what you say is one thing and to find out that you are wrong about that same thing, yet have no opportunity to repent for it is another. May you live long enough to realize that it’s wise to keep what we say short and sweet for we know not the day which words we’ll be forced to eat. Just make sure that what people ARE SAYING ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW is true.

For those who cannot appreciate what M.J. contributed to the world as one of the most profound, talented, original, creative genius that he was and can only focus on his controversy reveals the sad side of society. You people are either jealous, racists or totally an angry bunch that never was able to excel within your own lives.
In the end – Being narrow-minded and hateful will bite U all in the ass.
If U have nothing to contribute regarding MJ’S memory..Then just SHUT UP!
Keep ur hateful remarks to urself.
We live with so much hate, anomosity, cruelty in this world as it is…
To this unhappy group that spews hate…LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
What have U contributed to our society that U can be proud of????

Judith was great! She should get more exposure and better publicist. We can use more of great singers…
I believe that both MJ and Elvis are Kings….each to their own generation. People are more likely to devote, to a King whom they grew up listen to, who impressed them in a personal way. They both had outlandish clothing, dance moves and hairdo. Elvis was a lover and MJ was a humanitarian. Unfortunately, I got to know more about MJ in the past two days than in two decades. I do believe MJ made a significant difference in American culture as said by Al Sharpton’s in his speech. Take care, MJ. (..in heaven).

R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON, YOU WERE TRULY LOVED AND WILL BE TRULY MISSED BY MANY, ESPECIALLY YOUR FAMILY OF WHICH MY HEART AND SOUL GOES OUT TO. AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAVE DEFINE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF LOVE, LOVE FOR ALL THINGS AND ALL INDIVIDUALS NO MATTER THE NATURE OF THEY BEING. I ASKED OF EVERYONE LOOK AT THE ALL THE POSITIVE THINGS MICHAEL JACKSON DID WHILE HE WAS ALIVE, LOOK AT ALL THE CHARITIES HE CREATED, OR CONTRIBUTED BECAUSE HE HAD A VISION THAT ONE DAY THIS WORLD WE RESIDED IN CAN BE BETTER IF ONE PERSON MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THEN EVENTUALLY EVERYONE ONE WILL TRY TO HEAL THIS WORLD. PLEASE THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE ANY POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT MJ , JUST DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL .AS FOR MEDIA AND ALL THE OTHER IGNORANT INDIVIDUALS WHO CHOOSES TO CRITICIZE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, BE A JUDGE OF YOUR ACTION RIGHT NOW, YOUR SELF DEMEANOR.LEARN THE MEANING OF THE WORD “RESPECT”, AND PLEASE GIVE TO THE JACKSON’S FAMILY, LEAVE HIS CHILDREN ALONE. ONCE AND FOR ALL PLEASE LET M J REST IN PEACE AND ENJOY HIS JOURNEY TO HEAVEN AS HE DOES THE MOON WALK, SINGING THOSE BEAUTIFUL SONGS WHICH ENJOY DOING. ONE LOVE FOREVER.

I can’t believe you people, saying that Judith was bad and Shaheen Jafargholi was amazing!!They were both fantastic! You must be tone deaf or something because they were just awesome.

And for all you people who don’t like Michael Jackson, go away and stop making MJ’s death even worse for people by being annoying and rude. He died. Grow up and show some respect.

ELVIS DID NOT STEAL HIS MUSIC, YOU ***HOLE….READ up on everything BEFORE you say it. I’ve been a fan for 35 years. I read and check everything about him.

MICHAEL IS KING OF POP
ELVIS WAS/IS ‘KING OF ROCK & ROLL’ for he does all different genres

Elvis sang Rock and Roll, Gospel, Blues, Country and so on….

JAY | 7/8/2009, 9:12 pm EST

As a teen in the 80’s, I grew up with MJ’s music. With his passing, so also passes a piece of my childhood. Father,son, brother, friend,he will be missed by many. His family, friends, and fans are in my prayers. Goodbye,Michael. We miss you.

oh, and to all you people who freak out about the haters, you need to shut up too..just ignore them, you know he was the best!

Peggysc | 7/8/2009, 9:16 pm EST

Did anyone else notice that the people who slammed Michael used fake names while the people who honored him were true enough to mostly use real names. Cowards!!!!Michael was great, no ifs ans or buts about it. It is sad that some money grubber had to try and ruin him with their accusations. His true fans stayed by him through all his turmoil they knew what a good person he really was. May the man FINALLY rest in peace.

Madhavi | 7/8/2009, 9:16 pm EST

omg i cant imagine that michael jackson is gone i mean like how can the legend,the king of pop DIE! that is so hard for me to say “mj is dead” how can he be dead! HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW!

Pengiran Bob from Malaysia | 7/8/2009, 9:16 pm EST

In Loving Memory of Micheal Jackson King of Pop 1958 – 2009.There no more ‘King of POp’ after Micheal Jackson. He the only one God create…who was hailed as the world greatest entertainer ever and forever and described by his tearful daughter Paris as “the best father you could ever imagine,”. May god blessing Micheal Jackson n family. As far as World Music concern Micheal Jackson should be award ” NOBLE PRIZE ” in music industry. Judith Hill appeared with Jackson family on stage to join a mass chorus of Jackson’s inspirational hits “We Are the World” and “Heal the World” was stunning and her voice at the memorial was absolutely beautiful. Congratulation !!. We Malaysian people always love you and remember you as a “Greatest Singer,”.

Elvis4ever! | 7/8/2009, 9:19 pm EST

Michael Jackson was a great entertainer no doubt. But he called himself the King of Pop, the fans never dubbed him that. Elvis was the ‘King of Rock and Roll’ dubbed that by others. Elvis was far more then the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis sang rock and roll, gospel, blues, country and so on. He was a complete entertainer for all people. People of all ages find something in Elvis that they could relate to, not just one particular type of music. Elvis is the rare entertainer in history whose shows were attended by multiple generations. Elvis only performed twice out of the United States, both times were in 1957 in Canada, that’s it. He was known world over and never even left to go on a world tour. That, in my view makes him the greatest entertaine ever. Elvis was the first to ever broadcast live via satellite to the world in 1973, a milestone. WOW!! TELL me who else??

And I mean ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

olivia | 7/8/2009, 9:19 pm EST

Nluevano | 7/8/2009, 9:19 pm EST

My brother (M.Jackson); no one alive today has inspired and touched the hearts and lives of so many fans like you have! You are a true inspiration for the living and the loved ones you have left behind on this plane we call planet earth. You will be missed…, and may your spirit find true happiness,joy,comfort, and peace where ever it finds itself….Say hi to Elvis, the other King!!!!!

the king of pop number one i love his music and if will on us by his music

pinklady2 | 7/8/2009, 9:20 pm EST

Regardless of what people think about Michael Jackson as a person, he was a wonderful performer and humanitarian. He was a icon in his own right and although he may of made some bad choices along with way, what right do any of you to disrepect the dead. This is a time of morning for his family, his friends, fans and the entertainment world. For those of you that don’t know how to respect the dead or the family left behind, can’t you keep your cheezy comments to yourself for awhile? Where are your manners? To the Jackson family, my heartfelt sympathy to you and as Charlie Chaplin says “Smile”

Phil Emeck.. Port Moresby PNG | 7/8/2009, 9:21 pm EST

Judith Hill could be the next big thing to come out of all this after MJ is gone

peaches | 7/8/2009, 9:21 pm EST

To the ones that are talking bad about Michael Jackson how would you feel if people were talking bad about some one you cared about that has just died? Think about it? You all need to grow up! Let him rest in peaces. MJ had a heart of gold and would of done anything for anyone. Love and miss you Michael Jackson.

Pattie | 7/8/2009, 9:22 pm EST

To tlsca1: You are right on!!!
To LookagAIN: ELVIS was a very gifted entertainer, in every aspect of all music that he sang. There was nothing he could not sing…Could Michael?? I don’t think so.. I am white, but I am not a racist.. Some of my favorite artist’s are black performers. MJ was not one of them. He was weird, confused, messed up. He could dance, same ole, same ole stuff, and his singing was fair. He did nothing for me.. Maybe he was a good person, but he sure did not show it to us.. A very disturbed individual, I think. Elvis loved black music, and he could sing it better than black performers, in his own style. Elvis made black music popular. Something the black artist’s couldn’t do. Sorry, that’s my feelings.

To Duck: A fat “whore”?? Sorry to disappoint you. I’m a size 7!!!!

but i don’t want to see people use his mourning meeting to be famouse there….i not like this feel…………it just not true feeling…it make me feel not good …..that’s what i want to say…..love you MJ …..we miss you soooo much

Rose, Malaysia | 7/8/2009, 9:23 pm EST

MJ is a human too so we are, everybody make a mistake so its not nice to talk about people who is already death. Let’s god deal with it. Condolence to children and his family. Good or bad lets god judge it. tq

michelle | 7/8/2009, 9:23 pm EST

well my thoughts are with the family since micheal jackson had died i have been watching videos his home video and i think people needs to watch them and really see what kind of man he was .i think he was a nice man and if i could have met him i would have i feel sorry for him how lonely he was and all he was doing when he had kids over to his home was trying to let them kids have a life .like he didnt have a life when he was a kid .so i think people needs to leave the man alone he has passed and i think people needs to stop talking about all the bad he did and look at all the good he did for the kids all over the world ..he will be missed R.I.P MICHAEL .

God has away to console all of us when it comes to call his Angels back to his kingdom.God has given us Michael Jackson for 50 years and he was a guardian Angel for many people on this planet.
Look at how God had prepared sister Judith Hills to represent Michael Jackson it was amazing to see how the Spirit of MJ was in sister Hill’s face.
To the family, I personally want to thank Mr and Mrs Jackson for such great man and I thing the brothers should to continue MJ’s legacies. Please don’t forget sister Judith Hills, because she is one of a kind. TM

I used to listen to MJ when i was a little girl. I remember dancing and singing his songs along side my mom. My mom died in 2000. So when I heard MJ died, it was like a flash of old memories with my mom and i back in the day. And a stab to my heart! Thank you MJ for your beautiful and fun songs. Without them it would be one less happy memory for me. You will forever be the King of pop! May you R.I.P.! For ALL of you haters out there, just remember karma comes back ten fold, You WILL get yours!

To all of you selfish imature adults that have absolutely no life at all, nothing to do but cast your self centered lonliness, and insecurity on an innocent man that accomplished more in his life than you would ever dream of doing in your pitiful lives, Michael was no doubt an astonishing entertainer and deserves the standing ovation of a King. Its absolutely CRUSHING that this had to happen to him, his family, and his faithful fans. Its been a hard situation for everyone one around the world, but in time it will get better. Honestly I cant believe the disgusting and horrifying things that people are saying about him. Especially you on here. Im a 14 year old freshman and I have enough respect to give him the respect he deserves and here you are, older adults, years older than me, making rude comments. Rest in peace Michael. and to his family, you are in our prayers. we love you all.

The haters of MJ are simple the narrow minded people and nothing more.MJ remains the most unique,talented,unaguably and undoubtedly,’the charmmer and entertainer that ever lived in human race’.people like MJ are born one out of six billion.his is a special gift given to human race and no body can object the fact with the seen proves that bear withness for him.you haters should remember your are minorities and the remnants of the fore-marginalised elements of the world.hate him or love him,he is still the king and entertainer extra-ordnary and no one can march him.MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been said that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all!!! I think that Ms. Hill did a wonderfu job. Keep up the good work! Michael J. Jackson was and is a decent person and i felt that his memorial service was extra-ordinary just like the man himself. My codolences for the Jackson family especially his children, it took a lot of strength and courage to do what you have done. May GOD strengthen,comfort, and encourage you all.Remember to keep GOD first in all you do and go through.R.I.P MJ. Also remember ignorance is bliss and ugly is to the bone!!!

Mikael | 7/8/2009, 9:38 pm EST

I love your song, I love your dance.
But please forgive me, cos all this while until your death, I never bought your original album, all pirated copies…. but it still sound s good. I may buy some of your original copies when the price is cheaper, by then you may already few years in your grave.

To Jedijunkie yes we realize that there is a such thing as freedom of speech,but there is also a such thing as self respect,dignity,morals and values(clearly you have neither).Not only was MJ the greatest entertainer to EVER grace the stage his Humanitarian and Philanthropic(Hope those words aren t to big for you) works are unmatched by any celeb or person of power in this society R.I.P. MJ Jedijunki just “Beat It”. Oh and as far as you telling everyone to go and live in a Fantasy world….Your screen name is Jedijunkie,the last time i looked the only place I ve ever seen a Jedi was in Star Wars!!!lol obviously youre already living in a fantasy world..Be easy

You know paris’ speech seemed like it was totally planned and acted out it just seemed to right so i think the family forced her to do the speech

T MICHEL | 7/8/2009, 9:41 pm EST

God has away to console all of us when it comes to call his Angels back to his kingdom. God has given us Michael Jackson for 50 years and he was a guardian Angel for many people on this planet.
Look at how God had prepared sister Judith Hill to represent Michael Jackson it was amazing to see how the Spirit of MJ was in sister Hill’s face.
To the family, I personally want to thank Mr and Mrs Jackson for such great man and I think the brothers should continue MJ’s legacies. Please don’t forget sister Judith Hill, because she is one of a kind. T.Michel

After watching the memorial, I told myself to stop mourning and move on. Michael, you have been part of my life since I was a child, a teen, then as an adult. Thank you thank you thank you!

This says it all!
Through eyes of those who know better
by John Fischer
It was a day when commitment to family and belief in God won out over the incessant rumble of the public’s and the media’s infatuation with setting up and tearing down celebrity.

Anyone who saw Michael Jackson’s memorial service yesterday now has a whole lot of new information to add to what has been communicated to us up until now about the man. For two hours, we saw him, not through the eyes of critics, pundits, and self-righteous moralists, but through the eyes of friends and family close enough to know what they were talking about.

And here’s what I found out about the man through them:

That he liked to laugh.
That he loved his family, deeply.
That his family loved him.
That he loved the world and believed he could make a significant impact on it by bringing diverse people together through his music.
That his work was inspired by the love of God.
That he had a lot of “know” when it came to his understanding of human nature.
That God has a purpose for everyone and Michael completed his.
That he saw everything with his heart.
That he was fragile.
That he made us love each other.
That he believed he had a God-given responsibility to give himself to his music and his fans.
That he gave all that had been given to him.
That he likes eating Kentucky Fried Chicken on the floor with a friend… out of the bucket.
That his favorite song was “Smile when your heart is aching.”
That his heart was aching most of the time.

But by far, the most important thing I found out about Michael came through the eyes of his 11-year-old daughter who believes that her daddy has been the best father anyone could imagine.

That was all I needed to know.

…and I laid my mantle on the ground, and felt the rain come pouring down—the rain of my religion, falling down like weeping from the sky.

Please Let this man’s soul Rest In Peace. It was bad enough wha the had to deal with in life. I hope it does not give you joy to taunt and slander a human being because if it does you are the instrument of satin hiself. You are but a tool being used by the evil one to stir up wickedness. You should get right with yourself and GOD first. Before it is too late for your own soul. GOD’s will is not for us to condemn each other but to heal and build each other up. Please take heed in the words you speak onto another person you don’t know when GOD grace for you will fall short.

Michael Rest In Peace. May the Lord Forever Protect You. May you find the everlasting peace you deserve.

No sin is unforgivable. Pray for yourselfs and stop condemming others

We all have to account for everything that we say and do. I am mindful of what I say.

Childhood: ”Have you seen my childhood? Ims earching for a world ive never known. ive been looking around in the lost and found of my heart. no one un derstands me. people say im not okay cuz I love such elementary things. its been my ate to compensate, for the childhood ive never known”

MJ the King of Entertainment | 7/8/2009, 9:54 pm EST

I remember growing up and listening to Michaeals songs and watching his videos. I remember his awards, his fashion, and his incredible voice and talent! No one will ever compare to the amazing and very blessed talent that god gave him since his very young age! He is such an important and incredible talent and will be missed. did he make some bad choices? yes, but who doesn’t!! god truly must have been in need of such a great soul. may he rest in peace and may his children see his smile, feel and hear his love in his music, and forever know that their ‘daddy’ is watching over them from above. god bless you MJ.

Well, whaddya know – even in the UK, Elvis is still recognized as the true KING

Shanda Kemp, Louisiana | 7/8/2009, 9:56 pm EST

If each of us had just 1 ounce of the compassion Michael Jackson had for the people all over the WORLD, imagine what it would be like. As someone said at his memorial, MJ looked at people with his heart, not his eyes. Wow! What a change that could take place across this earth if we ALL did that. Yes, MJ had his flaws, and to some he was strange. But the haters need to step back and imagine being in his shoes. If you were constantly in the spotlight, what would we read about you? How would you handle the pressure from everyone? We can’t always believe what we read in the press! MJ had to be an adult at a very young age, so it only makes sense that, as an adult, he would be childlike and try to create a childhood that he never knew! Let’s just focus on the POSITIVE things MJ gave us and showed us. His music is GENIUS! Music is one thing that can bring us together! MJ left us too early but he’ll NEVER be forgotten!!! My prayers go out to his family and his children. From this day forward I will choose everyday to live by a line that MJ gave us in the song, “Black or White”…I’m NOT going to spend my life being a COLOR!!! May we all look at others with our hearts and not be so quick to judge. RIP Michael.

Michael Would Of Been So Proud To See How Great The Memorial Turned Out, It Was So Nice ; I Feel Like It Was Perfect .. When Paris Went Up , My Heart Shattered … Now I Watch That Video Over & Over & Every Time I Do I Cry ..
I Love Michael Jackson , Have Since I Was A Little Girl . & I’m Only 16 .! He Was Simply The Greatest … It’s Not Fair That He Had To Go .. But He’s In A Better Place Now , No One Can Mess With Him Anymore . May He Rest In Peace ; He’ll Forever Be In My Heart .

Know that he was inimitable in every fashion. For the rest of you, may you be as fortunate that others even remember your name after you’re dead.

Fed Up N' Tough | 7/8/2009, 10:00 pm EST

I think this Judith Hill stuff is SICKINING!! Trying to gain fame off MJ’s death..SAD!

It’s also sickining the way the media has made a circus side show out of Michael’s passing.

How would YOU feel if a loved one’s passing, memorial service, etc was turned into some entertainment ploy for today’s sad world??? Don’t think you’d dig it too much would ya?? Think about that for a min!

Then the ridiculous B.S. about MJ’s spirit in a tree trunk?? SICK!! The media and all that follows their brainwashing and trends dont deserve to be around.

They couldn’t leave MJ alone in his waking life, for god sake, let the man rest in peace!!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!

He will be missed. I hope the Jackson family can shelter his three beautiful children no matter if they were biologically his or not. He was apparently a very good father.Children tell it all some good and some bad. we just need to remember the good in all and I believe he was a great loving person. someone that gave so much to charities and sang about love and giving can’t have to much bad in him. Like the senator from Texas said all is innocent to proven guilty and he was found guilty so no one should judge. He is in a better place in heaven so we should worry about ourselves and look to the sky for their is another angel up there.

Lisa | 7/8/2009, 10:11 pm EST

First of all many people have terrible childhoods and do not end up like Michael Jackson. As Barry Gordy said, “Michael was always happy.” Also, Michael jackson brought on much of his troubles himself. He looked like an alien. He was ashamed of being black, changed his skin, and made sure he had white children. Yes he was great with the Jackson 5. Stop letting our children idolize such a person. A drug addict who could not stand to be in his own skin. Why didn’t his family help him? He was evidently very mentally ill.

Sathy,Malaysia | 7/8/2009, 10:12 pm EST

Rest In Peace,MJ.May GOD bless your children always.

Val | 7/8/2009, 10:12 pm EST

I don’t believe she was trying to profit by performing – the family requested this. And to simplify MJ’s death related to partaking of too many of life’s goodies as someone said, that’s absurd. It was much more complex than that. Starts with the body image crap he dealt with from an early age being made fun of, then the serious burns from the Pepsi commercial and pain meds and escalated from there. Add to that the money hungry extortionists and media reaming him, part of the world killed him and through his legacy and person he is resurrected and lives forever. Rest peacefully, Michael..

Lisa | 7/8/2009, 10:13 pm EST

Editor 1 | 7/8/2009, 10:13 pm EST

MJ was the only artist in the history of music to have 5 number 1 hits on an album. Elvis and the beatles weren’t on this list and I noticed that MJ sold 750 million records prior to his death which Elvis and the Beatles could not do either. Elvis only accomplished this in DEATH not in life and it took decades for him to accomplish this. MJ was already almost there in life and his death will practically take him well over that mark in no time. The beatles took a while after one death, a break up and after decades to reach 1 billion+ records but they never came close to that number while actively performing and neither did Elvis. MJ is the number 1 selling artist of all time, the best dancer of all time, and will smash records in death as well. End of discussion. He shyts on Elvis. Elvis stole his moves and singing style from a black man who STILL HAD TO ENTER THE STUDIO THROUGH BACK DOORS because he wasn’t fit as a human being to enter through the front with the whites. Elvis was a piece of shit who stole his style from someone else. Eminem said it best when he said, “He’s the best thing since Elvis to steal black music” ROFL. No one in the industry ever says, ” Elvis inspired me” ROFL. oh but there’s a long list of artists (black, whited and various races) who can say that Michael and his sister Janet influenced them. GTFO with that Elvis shyt. There’s a new king in town. Bow down to King Michael.

Firstly, I would like to express my condolence to M.J. children and family.
For those out there who hate , bad comment and etc.. Think first of yourself “Do I had that talent as GOOD as HE had in me?
MJ has gone to the other world, why must we still make so much comment of that? When he still here, is anyone of you dare to said comment of it. For example, If you gone in one day, all your friend said you are so and so. How’s does you feel up there if you can hear what they talking on you right that moment.
So stop shooting on M.J. weather he is GOOD or BAD. Let HIM go in PEACE.

PRAYER :
IN GOD NAME PLEASE FORGIVE HIM IN HIS SOUL FOR THE PAST, AS FOR HIS CHILDREN PLEASE GIVE YOUR LOVE AND CARING THROUGH ALL THE WAY OF THEIR GROWING LIFE.
AMEN

All I can say if what he did in past his life that’s make a lot of people Say’s negative words about him. That’s between him and Jesus Christ.. I don’t Judge people we’re not perfect in this world.
And in this kind of business not just him there is a lot out there like Britney and others and more. people has something to say ether you’ve done really good things… or not…
for them who’s in spotlight I’m praying for you all..but still people listen their music and watch their movies, that’s the way it…I just pray for all the people that doesn’t have nice things to say to other people..

Oh and Elvis NEVER had the number selling album of all time. That title belongs to the King. Thriller is and always will be the number selling album of all time at 100 million and still going strong. I admire and respect the Beatles but they could not and did not accomplish this and for damn sure Elvis was not even close with any of his albums. MJ is the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME AND THE NUMBER SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME. HATERS MUST BOW DOWN AND RESPECT THE KING. FALL BACK HATERS. He is still breaking records in death which means he is currently creating even more distance between himself and his competitors leaving them further and further in the dust. Elvis and the Beatles as we speak and solidifying his spot as #1. A poll was taken on CNN’ showbiz tonight about who was the greatest entertainer of all time and of course MJ won that poll. You can’t deny the legacy he left and the imprints he left on the artists today.

michael jiang (MJ) | 7/8/2009, 10:22 pm EST

I thank you, as you seem to be the first post about the identity of this great singer. I’m glad that Kenny Ortega, who I assume plucked her from obscurity of the choices Michael Jackson made, had the wisdom to honor both of them. The Tribute was beautiful.

She song that song and she’s very beautiful and im so glad the she was chose to sing that song..I also love that song..One of my all time favorite Micheal Jackson songs but the children was beautiful too!!! -Make the world a better place for you and for me-

FOR ALL U MICHAEL JACKSON HATERS ON HERE–IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SOOO JEALOUS OF WHAT MICHAEL HAD. HE WAS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MAN WHO EVER GRACED THIS PLANET. THAT IS WHAT ALL THE HATE IS ABOUT…PEOPLE CANNOT—WILL NOT ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THIS MAN WAS LOVED BY BILLIONS OF PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER. YOU TALK ABOUT ELVIS THE IMPERSONATOR. HE JUST PIRATED BLACK PEOPLE SONGS AND THEN RE DID THEM TO MAKE THEM HIS OWN. WE ALL KNOW WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE GREATEST COPY CATS IN THE WORLD. SPEAKING OF ELVIS DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT HE SHITED IN DIAPERS WHILE HE WAS ON STAGE….DIDN’T THINK SO! HE WAS A BIG FAT FART WHO FINALLY SUCCOMBED TO ALL THE DRUGS THAT HE WAS TAKING…YOU TALK ABOUT MICHAEL?..WHY ARENT U PEOPLE SATISFIED WITH YOUR FLAT ASSES AND LINE FOR LIPS, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO INJECT SILICONE IN THEM. AND STOP LAYING IN THE SUN AND GOING TO TANNING SALONS…BE SATIFIED WITH YOUR PALE SELVES. MICHAELS LIFE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!!!!RIP MICHAEL YOU WERE TRULY LOVED!

So hey – did anyone notice that Judith herself just left a message? Congrats on your amazing song, and the impact it left on so many. I thought it was also cool what Renee from CA as well had to say about you. I read that you and your family are all Christians. I think that’s totally awesome too, and the only way to go. Hope you continue to make beautiful music in the future – use it to glorify The One who gave you your talent and purpose. :-)

I am amazed how people have room in their life to talk about another person.Michael Jackson is THE KING OF POP Elvis Is not the KING OF ROCK AND ROLL Little Richard is.Some Of you never will give Black people their dues.Who made Elvis King.We as reasonable people Know the facts and will not fuss about it.

Some people just don’t understand that Judith Hill was part of the support group for Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert. They quarrel that Judith Hill was trying to profit from her performance during the memorial service. When will you people understand that those guys were asked to perform in the memorial to honour the memory of MJ.

It is sickening how much people become so judgmental to something they have no say in. Goodness sake people, grow up.

Jackson was a fantastic musician, entertainer, he broke down racial barriers and his songs are timeless. but, he was an entertainer. not JFK (who had his own personal issues), not Reagan, not the dalai lama, not the Pope, not Mother Theresa. Absolutely mourn the passing of an entertainment Legend, but the world doesn’t need to stop down when he passes. It was his own fault, he was asked to seek help, it did not work. He isn’t Jesus, he’s Michael Jackson. Enough already

Ashley m | 7/8/2009, 10:31 pm EST

Mr. Jackson is definitely a person who should be and will be idolized not only today for the all time. It is a shame that close minded individuals can alter the motives of such a great man that did so much for so many charities, countries, soldiers, and individuals. He was a genuine humanitarian and deserves all the respect given to him by those that matter. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look in the mirror at what contributions they have made to impact the world we live in today. Judge yourselves not HIM. Mr. Jackson’s choices to alter his appearance were his own just like those who have lipo and boob jobs. Maybe if you were financially able to do so you would change something about yourself. God Bless Micheal and the many hearts and lives he touched. He was truly an inspiration and deserves the admiration of my parents generation, mine, my children, and many other generations to come.

Elvis4ever! | 7/8/2009, 10:31 pm EST

NO one is talking about WHITE or Black…(well some stay there color at least) A ton of Stars, Singers and more deal with taking Drugs, that’s niether here or there(a fact) Just saying that I know there are 2 KINGS is all

For some of you, read back so you know what’s going on and how this started before adding your comment. NO one was putting MJ down on this subject of ‘KINGS’ or at least I wasn’t.

MJ fan | 7/8/2009, 10:35 pm EST

Hi, just wanna say that MJ has has an great influence on me. He was my very very first idol that actually taught me how to dance!I used to watch all his videos over and over again to make sure i got every single one of his moves. I would also imitate his personality and videoclips! Believe it or not!
So when i heard the sad news, i was devastated and for the first time, i really cried for an artiste whom i’ve never even met. I used to buy all those megazines with his pictures taken with Lionel Richie, Diana Ross etc. Yet, some ‘illiterate’ people still want, or should i say, enjoy criticizing this soul. Well,let me say this, no matter what these negative-minded people may say or think, there will always be fans true to him. He has given us great music, unique dance moves and lyrics to get us thinking what’s important. Michael Joseph Jackson, Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for us. Truly a great humanetarian and not just King of Pop, but the King of MUSIC. May you rest in peace.

Joboi | 7/8/2009, 10:36 pm EST

To Mj wished he was Elvis, the big difference bw mj and the beatles and elvis is that mj had those records sells in his own lifetime whereas the ladder didnt achieve those numbers until they died,which im sure was mainly out of support so you do research as well (yawn) this is way too easy…

Joseph | 7/8/2009, 10:36 pm EST

whatever people.
i’m soo sick of hearing about this.

he was just a man!
he was not a god!

get over it, people die everyday
it’s called life

MJ FAN FOREVER | 7/8/2009, 10:36 pm EST

Come on People. My dad is a Iraqi war veteran so I say this with no offense to our troops or doctors or anyone but Micheal has done just as much as any one person on this planet. He wasn’t all about being on stage and selling cd’s to make money. He made music for us, music that has changed the lives of all of us whether you know it or not. He gave back millions on top of millions to charities, helped fund those projects to research cures in South Africa and Europe and made songs that got people aware of the things going on in the world in the first place. He had a few rough spots in his life and was a bit eccentric at times but he was a truly great human being and deserves every ounce of recognition he is getting. RIP Mike.. you we be missed by all those that matter.

Editor is DELUSIONAL | 7/8/2009, 10:38 pm EST

Hey Editor – Sales don’t = talent. Prince, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and others were far more talented than Michael Jackson could have ever dreamed. Just because they weren’t boring enough to appeal to all people like MJ was, doesn’t mean they were less talented.

Fred | 7/8/2009, 10:39 pm EST

It’s amazing how Michael Jackson’s death has rehabilitated his image and reputation. A month ago, the same people who are weeping and wailing over him now were talking about what a freak show he was.

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 10:39 pm EST

Michael was a great entertainer. Elvis was a good looking singer but the BeeGees is the king of pop. They outlast The Beatle,Elvis,Abba and MJ. So don’t fight anymore regarding who is the king……:-)

Richard | 7/8/2009, 10:41 pm EST

First of all, to all you haterz, fuck you. The man is dead for crying out loud.

So he messed up, and he got a lot of allegations direct at him, but you know, you people who judge, need to look at yourselves.

Let the man/woman without sin cast the first stone!!!

Everyone has done something they have regret in their life. And don’t say that you HAVEN’T.

I’m ashamed at how pathetic you people are. No wonder why other religions want to destroy us, its because we nurture monsters who think they are God’s gift to the world.

mj is definitely a good singer but not of all time. everyone and everything has its time on this earth. let us not count the time after death as that time is due to the one still living but let us not forget the great contribution of the fallen in the past more so let us not belittle it. stop comparing and learn appreciating.

geez | 7/8/2009, 10:46 pm EST

why is everyone just staring to appreciate michael jackson? when he was alive, would anyone ever tell the news that he was their inspiration?
nah, i dont think so.

A realist | 7/8/2009, 10:48 pm EST

i think everyone should just shut the hell up and not post about other people comments. im doing that right now, but its to tell all the idiots out there who actually get pissed at others for saying things they dont like. its the internet, people are going to say what they want, so get used to it. and if you tell people to not say something, lots of people are going to say it more just to piss you off. so dont give people reason to bitch about their right to express their opinion. theres enough pointless fighting in our world, so if youre going to do it, at least make it entertaining for all of the people like me out there. people who just want to see how plagued people are by their mindset that they fight over the internet. and there sure are a hell of a lot of people like me out there. so im just going to sit back and enjoy the show that civilization has put on for me. anyone care to join me?

I am amazed that so many, many people have such hatred seemingly aimed at nothing in particular. It seems these forums are simply a vehicle for everybody to have their 100 words of ‘what’s on my mind’ with little regard to the content. One mans, any man’s death, is not something to cause an argument with another human being. Does anybody here understand the pointlessness of this? Can the writings of anybody here, enhance the understanding of the complexity of a man’s life that so much as one of you is going to say, “ah, now I see things more clearly, I was wrong and my mistake has been clarified”. These destructive words only diminish those who recite them.

Waly Knott Jr. Los Angeles | 7/8/2009, 10:52 pm EST

Everyone knows the world is full of haters!! You could be the nicest, most sincere person in the whole wide world and there would still be people who hate on you. for the most part these people are unhappy with themselves and rather than realize or admit to their own shortcomings or the fact that they haven’t evolved as a compassionate human being they find fault with others. Name me one perfect person, you can’t because there aren’t any living on this planet. Sure MJ had his shortcomings just as we all do but if you look at what he accomplished in this life, how many live’s he touched, how he loved and was loved, then you must consider that he was a very super person. To all those hating on him, ask yourself, who have you helped today, how many people have you helped in your lifetime, or do you just go around throwing salt on others to cover up your own inadequate existence. I’m knott religious just in touch with spirit. What’s that biblical saying, Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone, Think About It!! MJ you are loved by millions!!

I have my own opinins on some things but, this is not the place for that. My prayers go out to his family and children. AND by the way ALL, let this Elvis & MJ thing go, they are two great entertainers, in there own ways, they both touched this world we live in, at different times, different generations, ME personally I Love them both… But this is abour MJ, R.I.P. MJ. I am sorry that this is how your life ended.

Tuy Prissana (Thailand) | 7/8/2009, 10:54 pm EST

I don’t know MJ personally, never meet him. It’s proved that he did care for others. He did donate a lot for charity. He’s gone and leaves his will states donation to charity as well.

He did do anything for me.
But he did great things for others, this is enough for me to respect him.
I’m desperately sad with this loss.

Those who miss him, please make comment to express your feeling.
Those who does not loke him, please get away, here is not for you

Grew up watching MJ | 7/8/2009, 10:54 pm EST

Why is everyone comparing Michael to Elvis or anyone else for that matter?? However, for comparative purposes, Elvis’ most famous song was “Hound Dog” which was originally recorded by an African American woman Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton in 1952. Michael’s most famous song was “Billie Jean” which was written by Michael Jackson HIMSELF and recorded by Quincey Jones in 1983. Michael was the only person to do what he did…. why you ask? Partly because he was African American. Jackson the first Black person whose video was shown on MTV. He also has had the highest selling album of all time WORLDWIDE, of anyone one, any race, any genre of music. Michael was ORIGINAL, and has be emulated by current artists such as Usher, Neyo, and Chris Brown. He has made a lasting impact on the world through his music, charity, and overall creativity. He paved the way for artists of color such as Judith Hill to be able to recognized on an international scale. Rest in Paradise MJ…. all the way from Shanghai, China.

nobody nobody | 7/8/2009, 10:54 pm EST

hello people out there! all i can say “NOBODY IS PERFECT!” No matter what he/she tries to be perfect still he/she couldn’t. what ever mistake/fault that MJ did he’s the one whose accountable for that, NOT YOU! so y you care to judge him. MJ is also human the same us, has weakness and strengths, ups and downs. Try to look at yourself and ask if you R perfect w/o a single fault. F U R purrfect, you must be god. And one more thing have you contribute something even a small deed to the world that makes a difference? stop those childish acts as if you don’t know its wrong. RIP MJ! You make a difference from all of us.

A fan from Tampa Fla | 7/8/2009, 10:56 pm EST

It’s me again and i was looking at some more of things that people wrote. It makes me laugh because it’s so many haters out there. I remember when Elvis pass away and i cryed because i liked Elvis. But i didn’t here anything negative about him or who was better then him. Now a black man comes along and do something so wonderful, something so untouchable that you haters can’t stand it. I don’t see how the haters can put Micheal and Elvis in the same conversation. Elvis has been gone so long he had his time in the spot light and people love him for that. He still have his fans, and i don’t hear Micheal fans putting him down. You should be ashame of yourselves to live a life as a hater. Micheal Jackson earn his spot at the top like so many others did. Regardless of how he change his appearance or what color he appear to be he still was human. So don’t get mad because ur still at the bottom of the latter climb to the top like the King of Pop did I LOVE YOU MICHEAL JACKSON AND HIS FAMILY

Now that he (M.J) aint here anymore everyone wants to cry and buy everything that he came out with to show support. But why not do that when he was alive. No matter what happened he was and still is the best.

Stitcher | 7/8/2009, 11:04 pm EST

I wasn’t a die-hard fan of MJ, yet I knew most all his songs. He was an extremely talented human-being.And completely mis-understood. Treated like dirt while alive, then cried for when he died. I felt great pain while watching his service. What we don’t understand, we moch, correct? I cried for all the pain he endured. If only he could have been celebrated like that before he passed. If only he could have felt the love from all that poured out during his service. What is wrong with people? Such negativity and ugly spirits. All celebrities sufer from publicity abuse. Only some make it through. They are all human, with hearts and emotions. We should all be ashamed. Gossip and slander-it’s a disgrace! Life is about Living,Laughing & Loving! Why can’t everyone c that?!! We only live one life! Why fill it with hate and discontent? Who wants to be miserable? I say, get over your petty selfishness and gossip, and Live, Love & Laugh like there’s no tomorrow! If we don’t change our ways soon, it will be too late! Look at what’s happening around us-wake-up people!
MJ,I hope and Pray u know u were loved. Children ARE what life is all about-they are our future! The adults are the ones that are screwed up! Children are born pure and inoccent, and helpless. They need us to teach them- if we are ignorant-they will be. If u don’t know kindness-how to live, laugh &love-learn it before having children! RIP MJ! And good luck people-happiness is inside you-if you learn how to love yourself, you won’t be so miserable to others. Treat others how u wish to be treated. And what goes around, comes around.

Whether they be on Tv or the Radio or On the internet. Spouting their typical Rhetoric. All in all…..same old story different idiots with the sharing of the same said brain. How sad for those who cannot feel. Or know God’s true meaning for things and places and people in their lives. It only just figures does it not? Some will act accordingly and be followers or become the sheeples they believe think and do as others. Ignorance is truly bliss. But compassion gains far more than this hateful unfeeling media projected brainwashing nonsense some are touting here.
God bless all who left comments.
To those who do not know any better… I feel sorry for you in the sense of some people don’t know any better than how they were raised to act and believe?
What does it matter whos great or who isn’t? All in all in the end. We are all one and the same. Just some are taught to be ignorant at an early age and do not know any better.
Michael’s beliefs are far from hatred and null and void actions
Those who have negative comments..
R.I.P to your brains because they seem dead?

It sickening to live among people who hate someone just because he’s black. That’s what the problem is for most white racists. They just can’t handle the fact that people from other races can achieve what Michael did. It eats them. And they’ll probably die hating the world. Poor lonely illegitimates.

Michael Jackson is and will always be, the King of Pop. The undisputed King. Rest in peace Micahel. Your genius lives on.

Mizz Di'Amary(YoungSinger13) | 7/8/2009, 11:05 pm EST

First of all ii would like to say that all of the jerks and disrespectfull little losers shoul BACK OFF!!! Michael Joseph Jackson was NOT GAY!! Nor was he trying to cover up the fact that he was biologicvally african american!!! PLease leave Michael alone because now he is dead so there is nothing you can say to help him and nothing you can say to hurt him because you all have no heaven or Hell to put him in!! Think about if Michael were he would say only God can judge me!!!! My heart goes out to the jackson family!! R.I.P Michael

lorena | 7/8/2009, 11:06 pm EST

I was told that Elizabeth Taylor dimmed him “The King of Pop” not MJ and ppl picked it up from there. The world has mourned many a king and queens in the entertainment industry. I am quite sure that all of them are making BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER.

I thank you, as you seem to be the first post about the identity of this great singer. I’m glad that Kenny Ortega, who I assume plucked her from obscurity of the choices Michael Jackson made, had the wisdom to honor both of them. The Tribute was beautiful.

Anonymous12 | 7/8/2009, 11:08 pm EST

I love m.j. and his music, but a lot of other celebrities died, I think they should pay more respects to them and not just m.j.

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 11:08 pm EST

Joseph you need to stop hating on MJ b/c we’re all are sinners and the comment you have made about him being dead was a very inappropriate thing to say about him … lets say put the shoe on the other foot and see how you’ll feel if someone was to say some hateful crap like that about your love one.

Patty B | 7/8/2009, 11:09 pm EST

I agree with Neil. Judith was stunning. Michael Jackson would have been proud.

TL | 7/8/2009, 11:09 pm EST

It is a shame to read many of the hateful and nasty comments posted here and in other places about Michael Jackson. If you think he was weird, you are entitled to your opinion. However, with regard to the criminal allegations, he was tried and found NOT GUILTY in a court of law in accordance with the laws of this country. It is therefore unfair for so many people to continue to criticize this man. This country claims to have the greatest criminal justice system in the world, but when decisions don’t come out the way many of you would like them to come out. You label that person as guilty anyway. That is a direct contradiction of the Constitution of the United States.

just another MJ fan | 7/8/2009, 11:10 pm EST

She did a great job. It must be such an honor to experience something of this magnitude. Don’t hate on her, you’re just jealous that nobody’s paying attention to you.

RIP MJ no matter what anybody says. Whether you like to admit it or not, there isn’t one of you out there that does not know an MJ song. We have all been influenced by this man’s music and message. As Kobe Bryant mentioned…he is the only Pop icon who’s given the MOST to charities…what have YOU done to top this? My point, exactly.

HaterSlayer | 7/8/2009, 11:10 pm EST

The "Jazzy One" | 7/8/2009, 11:10 pm EST

I would first of all like to send my heartfelt condolences to M.J.s entire family, and may he rest in peace. There will never, ever be another entertainer of his caliber
or talent, believe that! He will truly be missed, but never forgotten. He was one of kind. His
music and his message have made untold millions of people happy and will continue to do so forever.
As Mr. Berry Gordy so eloquently put it Michael Jackson was not only the “King of Pop”, he was with out a doubt simply put “THE
GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED”!!! I Believe that pretty much says it all! I concur most indubitably.

Billy Jean | 7/8/2009, 11:12 pm EST

I would just like to say that MJ was never talked about as being rude, cruel, filled with ego nor was he ever mentioned to have treated anyone with anything less that respect. This was a man who made the Guinness World Records – for being the only artist EVER to give to charity…this man opened up our eyes to so many sadness and offered up solutions. Why do we have to wait till he dies to acknowledge all of this! Instead we listen to all the garbage said about him.. When all hes ever done is give kindness and love!!!!

Can you honestly say that about Elvis or the any other iconic group?

so sad | 7/8/2009, 11:13 pm EST

I am so sad to see that small minded people have come out of the wood work to post such garbage about a wonderful entertainer,an unyeilding humanitarian, and unconditionally kind hearted man. Judith paid tribute to him, and I know that it is extremely difficult to sing at a memorial. Good for you Judith, and may God bless you.
Now, to make this a “black/white” issue is so ludicris I shouldn’t even let it get under my skin. But since it has I want to let you know. As a white fan of MJ, I am ashamed that anyone who calls themselves a fan of Michael Jackson would stoop to this level. He was all about unity and love. Very little of which I see posted on this page.

May God give you all peace, and hopefully we can continue MJ’s work and heal this messed up world.

eric | 7/8/2009, 11:13 pm EST

hello im from mexico and i went to the concert that MJ perform here i was 13 years old i am a huge fan im very concerned about MJ death im very sorry VIVA EL REY DEL POP!

Letting it all out | 7/8/2009, 11:14 pm EST

I know that as long as there is life on Earth, there will ALWAYS be someone with something ignorant and totally rude to say. For all of the ignorant people…if you aren’t a fan of MJ, that’s fine but do everyone else a favor and keep it to yourself. You have so many negative things going on in your own lives that you must bash others. The sad part is that the majority of those feeling the need to talk so negatively of others and bash the dead are so called CHRISTIANS. I don’t know what it says in your Bible, but in mines it says “He without sin, cast the first stone”. Who are you to say who deserves to be in jail or who should be dead? Jesus was the ONLY perfect person to walk this Hell called Earth and even people like you were responsible for Jesus’s death. MJ gave back to EVERY SINGLE country, denomination, ethnic background, culture, income level, etc. That’s more than any other person can say alive or dead. Until you change the lives of millions and millions of people…shut up and get a life. This is the year 2009 and it sickens me to see people still living off of the color of someone’s skin. Get some class.

Redbeans | 7/8/2009, 11:15 pm EST

We are truly going to pray for individuals like amari singleton, that use words like “hate” to describe the icon and legend M.J. Its a sad shame so many people arent compassionate and forgiving. He was accused but not convicted. Why? No solid evidence. Only God can judge us guys. He can now rest peacefully until Gabriel blow his instrument and we all are called for judgement! Will you be ready? Or will you continue to use your “FREE WILL” that Gd so graciously gave us undeservingly to spread gossip, chaos and deragatory words that hurts our Father! Get it together people! All the signs are here! What are u going to do until that time comes!

littlele | 7/8/2009, 11:18 pm EST

I’m not MJ’s #1 fan,however,I always enjoyed his music and appreciated his talent. He is truly the greatest entertainer of my lifetime and it is sad to know that he will no longer be wowing us with new music or live performaces. Over the past week I have found myself constantly watching MJ videos and listening to his music. I have watched the MJ celebration 3 times already- i just can not believe he is gone! Is this a scam? Is he going to appear in London in a couple weeks and put on his concert? This is so surreal….so sad. I’ve also watched the news media coverage of this death and can not believe how ruthless, untactful, and just mean the media can be…..I mean really mean. Michael Jackson is someones son, brother, father, friend, etc. He was a human being, a caring, loving human being-who just wanted to make a difference in this crazy world we live in. Doesn’t the media understand this? Don’t they see how distraught his family is? They all need to shut-up and reflect on their own lives, what have they done for society? What have they done to make a difference? So, I say lets remember MJ for his music, dance moves, and for his big heart! I hope you rest in peace and know what a difference you have made in this world. I hope you know how much your children will miss you and how much the world will miss you. Thank you for your music and your talent and all your efforts to heal the world….Thank you Michael! Thank you

Elliot | 7/8/2009, 11:19 pm EST

It is amazing how we find here living proof of how much hate and disrespect we have for each other in the world. It’s this what we want for our future? stop acting like that! if you don’t like MJ say it, but be respectful… please my friends, change the way you treat other people, that will make this world a lot better and maybe, just maybe we will be happier.

bofFl | 7/8/2009, 11:19 pm EST

Michael Jackson was the greatest musician in history. Why are some of you people comparing him to Elvis? The difference between MJ and Elvis is that MJ wrote his own songs while Elvis stole the songs from african americans & made it his own! Stop hating on MJ. Have some respect for him. Knock it off!!

OK, I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about how great Michael is and how horrible… here’s my take. I think he was a little strange. I think I would be a little strange given the circumstances of his life. He did things that I don’t agree with. We all do. That said, his music and talent are remarkable. Incredible. I’m glad to have been able to see his work. Let’s all let him rest now that he’s gone. Everyone dies. It’a part of life. It’s time to leave him be.

tiffny_heath@yahoo.com | 7/8/2009, 11:22 pm EST

Yes it is very very deeply sad what happended to Michael Jackson… He is and always will be the king of pop!!!! But this BS about racist is crap… it don’t matter what color you are… we all bleed the same, we all have feelings, we all have some one we love… so stop all the kid sh**t… grow up… what if this was ur Mother, ur Father, ur Brother, ur Sister, ur Kid what would u be saying then?

I agree with Redbeans. And this is not a freakin competition! THose are different genres of music people. Quit hatin cuz they were good at way they did. Elvis was good at Rock and Roll(by the way he didnt even like minorities), James Brown was good at Soul and MJ was good at Pop. Its historical, not a competition idiots! THey stepped outside the box and did THEM! Maybe some of you guys should do the same!

MJ was great, no doubt….but there are others too. Not just going by what they gave, but in so many other ways and Joy they bring to life for US

Accept it. MJ IS the King. | 7/8/2009, 11:26 pm EST

Yes, I can see the racism running rampant here. Michael Jackson has had an indelible impact on music. Period. His creativity, and love for ALL humans are to be made as a shining example of how we ALL should love one another. Hating a person for something that they have no control (skin color) over is outright ignorant; just as is hating someone for something that you may *think* he did, when there is absolutely no proof, and all indications point elsewhere. It truly pains me to see how some people can besmirch someone’s legacy–just because they are not White. Sure, Elvis did his thing back in the day, but he was a blatant racist, and if he’s to be king of anything, he is the king of HATE and Intolerance. It seems that people are just mad that Michael Jackson has one-uped Elvis, and in my book, he’s “100-uped” him. lol Accept it for what it is. Michael Jackson is loved by all the world. A Black man. And there isn’t a single, solitary thing you can do about it… so to quote Michael: “Heee heeeeee!!!!”

All of our thoughts and prayers should be for 3 children that have lost their father. For those people who still have parents consider yourselves blessed.

My all time favorite song of his will always be… “Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Dont try to fight it
There aint nothin that you can do
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You got to feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away!

JCB | 7/8/2009, 11:32 pm EST

Rest In Peace, Michael. You are loved and remembered by many and your legacy will live on forever. You changed the world of music, and I am forever grateful. You are truly the king of music and will be greatly missed by many. May strength be with the Jackson family thru this difficult time, and my prayers are with you. To everyone bashing Michael right now, show some respect. No one is perfect, he was a great father to his children, he gave back in so many ways to charity, he gave more to charity than any of you have. If you don’t like Michael Jackson, then don’t spend time commenting about it on here, and get a life. Show some respect to the King and his family. Michael, may you rest in peace, and God bless you! ♥♥♥

Taylor | 7/8/2009, 11:33 pm EST

I didnt really listen to Michael Jackson’s music and I definitely had my own fair share of opinions about him but now and not just because he died but because of the tremendous amount of strength and courage his daughter Paris took to speak out about her father and his love shows me that he truly was an amazing dad. And not only that but everyone who ever came into contact with him only has good things to say about him. It may not have always shown but Michael Jackson wasn’t the horrible person I believed him to be. Sorry for thinking the things I’ve thought in the past..

Michelle Madyun, CA | 7/8/2009, 11:33 pm EST

What’s amazing to me is that all these so-called celebrity ‘friends’ say they are so sad, say they all love him so much! BUT where were they when he was being indicted and going through court hell? He went through it alone. All of a sudden he has all these ‘friends’ that love him so much. Bunch of celebrity hypocrites exploiting his death to get their sorry hasbeen asses back into the limelight.

MJ was not only a great entertainer he had a big heart. MJ was a very charitable person that gave and raised money for hunger relief and hiv/aids. He met with world leaders to lend his help in issues concerning our world. we shouldnt be so judgemental people. If you dont really no someone u shouldnt judge them. MJ did what he was sent here to do, to share his gifts with the world to the best of his ability. So please people let him rest in peace!!!!!!!! Let GOD handle it from here!!

Joey C Santos | 7/8/2009, 11:38 pm EST

He’s a great performer. Thank you MJ for your music. It will forever be in my heart.

Condolences to the Jackson family. I will continue to pray for his children so that they can have the strength to move forward with their lives.

human hearts got fallen, so do the mind then the mouth. MJ was just one of the victorious victims recorded in the human history book, now & forever! Blessing be with his 3 children.

REINA | 7/8/2009, 11:40 pm EST

I can’t believe there are people out there who can be so insensitive…A man died, i tell everyone that we will never know the real story behind it all. I was saddened by his passing as I’m sure alot of you out there were as well. i grew up as you all did knowing the words the his songs and saw him grow as an artist and a person in the spot light. People need to remember that he was a person. A person who entered our homes when we were young and left the same way he came in..*t.v.* I am proud of the “Heal the world” performance by Ms.Judith Hill! it was awesome, a fresh face and a beautiful voice. i don’t think any of the Celebs could have pulled that song off without breaking down. He loved everybody, you can just see it. I’ve watched the tributes to him on TV..watched the same ol’ music videos that i used to watch when i was 5yrs old. my wish is for everyone to just let him be. he is where he cannot hurt anymore and we just need to let him be. Support his family with prayers and good thoughts. they hurt as we hurt, even more because he is their blood. My wish is for people to quit putting him down, everyone has made mistakes and believe me there is no such thing as perfect. MJ will be missed and will always and forever be remembered. And trust i will be playing MJ’s songs for my kids the way my mom played MJ’s music for me as a young’n. =) much love to all and R.I.P. MJ!

Thank you to MJ to opening our eyes to not only the cruelty but also the kindess the people of this world are capalable of….. We have not only lost a musicial pioneer but an amazing caring and generous man.
R.I.P.

2 good 4 u | 7/8/2009, 11:41 pm EST

MJ wasnt any better than any other star, why was the State of Cal. asking for donations to pay for the expence of MJ tribute. We r in a resscion and everyone is worried about where to show him next, We need to worry about the millions of dollars they spent on this event, and it should of went to the people that can eat today, or lost there home and live on the street, dont get me wrong he was great at 1 time, but hes like every other star thats passed, to much money and to many PILLS. If I had 48,0000 dollars i could spend on drugs a month, then I wouldnt have no worries either I guess,

so what??!! | 7/8/2009, 11:42 pm EST

so what mj died so did alot of people so he was a singer so are alot of people all this hoopla for a dead person remember the guys and girls dying for our great country SO WHAT!!!!!!!!

Tom | 7/8/2009, 11:42 pm EST

Michael was larger than life. His music immortalized my life as well as many others. His memorial made everyone realize he was just like us. Rest in peace Michael because you finally have seen the truth. That you were not alone, we were here for you and we will always love you. May God bless you and those you cared for.

Luv4eva Falusi | 7/8/2009, 11:42 pm EST

Who God has blessed no one can curse, it is simply true its black or white…….just work on yourself to love people isn’t has easy as hating them.
And you either luv or hate ther is no reason to compare people bcos unhealthy competition destroys the beauty of the colors God has given us. Whether it is King of POP (MJ), or King of Rock & Roll (Elvis), or King of Reggae (Bob Marley), or King of Dance (James Brown), or King of Blues (The Beatles)….wateva title u give ur favorite artist……it is simply bcos you could hear sound and have eyes. Thank God bcos some can not see, some can’t hear just thank your star that u are not even dead.
Bcos people die every minute and it could be anybody.
therefore u that is alive luv yourself first then your neighbor as yourself, and luv today and every other day of your remaining life bcos either God exist or not only the dead can tell. And only the living can luv.
MJ i luv u……and i thank God for your life either u ‘re the greatest entertainer or the king of pop it doesn’t matter anymore. bcos it has been said “IT IS FINISHED”…..Jesus Christ.

I’m a BIG fan of MJ, i love his music, moves and styles…may he rest in peace…

Julian | 7/8/2009, 11:44 pm EST

You will always get lovers and you will always get haters, it’s what seperates heaven and hell. I came to know music through my daughter who was 3 years old that time when she always insisted on watching Michael Jackson and it was the first time that I honestly began to appreciate the talent in a single man, My daughter passed away in June and it’s uncanny that Michael Jackson passed away in the same month. Both of them were my super stars. R.I.P. Your mememories will live on, deep within my heart.

Anonymous | 7/8/2009, 11:44 pm EST

Don’t let anyone knock you down! And keep those you love close to you! Same to all u other stars and reg. peeps! MJ-You will be remebered-RIP

Light and Shade | 7/8/2009, 11:49 pm EST

We should be inspired by Michael Jackson his dedication in bringing us a good news the message that all of us are equal that we can do something today start in the right path like, heal the world make it a better place and to do that we have to start with ourselves though it is hard it is not impossible to create peace and stop Wars, we should not be imprisoned by our past because God always gives us another change to make us change everyday. So we should make that change. MJ the King of Pop now singing and dancing with angels above praising God day and night. He is now very Happy watching over us. Let us pray for his family and for all of us all over the world let us spread Love and peace. God bless the whole world.

I hope the concert will go on, in memory of MJ and hope AEG can invite special guests to perform, may not be 50 shows but at least some.

Victoria | 7/8/2009, 11:51 pm EST

I think we should just heed the message of the beautiful song “Heal the World” and start the healing in our own lives. The world will really be a better place if we just live and let live. MJ’s life had a reason for being and he touched people’s lives with his music. Same with others. And there should be no fight about it. We’re all here for a purpose and if we just learn to appreciate this we can heal the world.

god 1 | 7/8/2009, 11:51 pm EST

Forgiveness. He is now in a better place. Some people live their hell on earth. Its not up to those of you who condemn but it is God who decides. And yes Michael Jackson didn’t do half as much as Elvis who is here with me. But Michael was something always being different. Hi Mercedes pink lady in China.

M J was a talented pop star who let his wealth drive him nuts. He lost his base & lost his way. Just like Elvis, Freddie Mecury & the rest. Let this be a warning to all wannabees out there.This also a sombre warning to all American families. Too much wealth aint good for you!

The guy and his career died in 1986. Lets move on to more important things like the Billy Mays death.

Whatever | 7/8/2009, 11:59 pm EST

Now some are confussed, he wasn’t the KING of the World. He was King of Pop to millions there is a difference. Plus, He done good things and bad ones however, he was a man or (whatever) but he surely wasn’t the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. He is Dead now, so please just move ahead and stopping crying over someone who you never met because reality is this… None of you who are sitting in saddness because he is gone KNEW HIM OR KNEW THE TRUE TYPE OF PERSON HE WAS. You know only what was seen on TV or heard on the radio. You who are sooooo sad and heart broken seriouly need to get a REAL LIFE of your own.
I say (Think God he is gone) regardless of his music which was just that music.

cherokeebabe | 7/9/2009, 12:05 am EST

Judith Hill you did great Michael Jackson would have been proud of you for singing one of his songs.Michael was a great entertainer and will go on for ever and know he can rest in peace and all those jerks out there who criticized him and called him names like peter King what goes around comes around.And if the people in New York had any sense about them they would see that King gets fired.He doesn’t deserve to have a goverment job and represent the state.

Gary "Hollywood" Hilbert | 7/9/2009, 12:06 am EST

I was one of the few people that actually got to meet and spend time with Michael. It was 1984 and the day he got his star on the Hollywood walk of fame. I was a young 21 year old radio personality covering the event for the radio station I was working for. It was a momumental event that was attended by over 100,000 people in such a small space in front of the famous Chinese theater in Hollywood. There were so many fans there that the L.A.P.D. had to do crowd control on horseback! There were fans willing to do anything to get a glance at Michael when he made his appearance. Fans were in tree tops and roofs of buildings across the street. I was fortinuate to get a 15 minute interview with him. Again this was 1984 when he still looked and acted normal. He was very gracious, kind, and a true gentleman to me that day. We talked about getting his star on the walk of fame and what it meant to him to get that award, we talked about the craziness of thriller, and we talked about his future plans which included the beginning stages of his next album which came out in 1987 the “Bad” album. It was a day that I will never forget. I later went on to a solid radio career myself and later interviewed Jermaine, Tito, and Rebe Jackson. I credit Michael for helping me launch my radio career. May you rest in piece Michael.

Windy , Atkinson, NC | 7/9/2009, 12:07 am EST

I am a single mother of 2 boys and I have raised my children by myself. I am very sad of the earlier death a very wonderful, loving , caring , man that I grew up listening to on the radio and on tv.I am praying for his 3 beautiful loving children and his mother and father and brothers and sisters. I also came from a big family. I am the oldest of 7 children. I knew that MJ would be a wonderful father while watching all that he has done for everyone. He didn’t see color. He seen us all as one and he showed how he cared in so many ways. He has inspired so many people in the world and even in death I feel he will still do his work on earth to help others. I hope that everyone will see that he was a true real MAN of love,compassion, and HONOR. In so many ways he is a hero to us all. He was raising his 3 beautiful children to live life and enjoy it and be happy and he was doing a GREAT job as a father. MJ , WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU and I hope that you are watching over all your love ones right now to help them through this hard time. Especially your babies… Everyone should give you creit for not just being the best at DANCING, SINGING, BEING A GREAT SON and BROTHER , BUT they should give you the AWARD FOR BEST FATHER OF ALL TIME. You protected your babies with everything you had and you never gave up on life… Thank you for showing us the way…

jahqueen | 7/9/2009, 12:07 am EST

I REALLY LOVE MJ SONGS AND I AM ALSO GUILTY BECAUSE I REDICULED HIM IN THE PAST AND I DID ENJOYED DOING IT THEN.

MJ YOU R TRULY MISSED AND I WISH U HAD GOT TIME TO ENJOYED YOUR CHILDHOOD, BUT U HAVE GAVE UP A LOT TO MAKE MILLIONS OF US HAPPY AND I AM THANKFUL. NOW REST IN PEACE U HAVE DONE ALOT. SO ALL U IGNORANT HATERS OUT THERE BE A MAN AND LOOK IN YOURSELF AND STOP HATING MJ. COMING FROM JAMAICA.

HE was a truly man, caring for HIS children’s welfare… you may never realize how is the worth of man living in this earth until he is gone… Do not ask who he was… But what he had done… think of it then ask yourself how you will become like MJ. Our condolonces to Jackson’s family. God bless… from Manila, Philippines

Not a fan | 7/9/2009, 12:20 am EST

As I read the posts, I cannot help but comment on the racist people out there that condemn the freedom of speech that is our God given right to express! There are fans and there are Non-fans (me!) that loved him and disliked him. People wonder why the world is the way it is today. Get a grip people!, we ALL bleed the same color blood and we ALL will be judged when our time comes, so stop this bullchit nonsense of hating the people that are leaving their “freedom of speech” comments. Most of you “loved” him, as I for one did not. I am not a racist, I am just did not care for his music…but that’s “my opinion”! RIP Farrah!!

mark | 7/9/2009, 12:20 am EST

unless you been famous in any way, unless you have had people pay you a 1000 dollars just for your autography, unless you had an ontarage of hundreds of security, shut up you can not imagine what you idoits put this man through. michael died 20 years ago his body just caught up to his death this year. leave him alone

MJ has lived his life to the fullest…..what ever issues connected to his name….all those things are in the past….but what important right now is that….the man really made a difference…not only to a few people but to the entire world…and the changes he made will forever be a treasure to our future generations…..
R.I.P. to you Michael Jackson…..
and Blessings for your 3 children…

I miss MJ..
can u see MJ helps the new singer to become popular, so he was not only giving his money for charity but also in developing others people career, what a great person

I don’t understand with some people that keep posting rude and not appropriate words about MJ, if u don’t like him so just don’t waste your time to read about him or even talk negative about him, just pass it… u are cynical and jealous people

Steven | 7/9/2009, 12:23 am EST

Who cares about Judith Hill or anyone else’s talent show and lets get one thing straight Michael Jackson was great but not the greatest and did not cross barriers like Muhammed Ali, Bob Marley and others. Black artists of the 50’s opened the path for Michael and others. Some one called Elvis a racist which is a pretty sad statement being that it is not true. Elvis was great also but not the greatest. To say anyone is the single greatest is wrong because each is different in style. Grow up people and maybe you can enjoy more than what your narrow minded point of view allows you to. God rest Michaels soul and God be with his loved ones.

Guilty people who feel condemned always want to condemn others. Those who don’t know the mercy of God because they refuse to accept it cannot share mercy with others. I believe those who criticize OUR MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON should be pitied amongst all men. I have always wanted to meet MY MJ personally, but I don’t believe its too late now because I know with great assurance that I will see him when I get to HEAVEN.

I will miss you till I see you again.

hakeem | 7/9/2009, 12:31 am EST

Michael jackson’s death is still hard for me to take.It is difficult to express how i feel.I am afraid and rightfully so,in the sense that there is no other musician living now(at least in my lifetime)who will ever replace him in my heart.His death clearly reminds me how mortal we are.I am still crying as i write this because i want all to know how i feel.I will never love another musician as michael jackson.HIS MUSIC is still playing in my heart for this is what consoles me now in these difficult times all over the world.No one(musician) can compare to you.No one.Goodbye

people I am 73 years of age I have seen entertainers come and go for a lot of years . This new girl is good she may be or not be a big star someday As for M.J. I was around when he first started. Elvis was already grown they had nothing in common. Do not judge one against the other. every person on earth is different from everyone else. That is how God made us.It does not matter what color or size we are.We are all Gods children and we will all have to answer to him someday

Jas | 7/9/2009, 12:40 am EST

People who came here to shame MJ:
Do we need to scream his lyrics at you?! They spoke of peace and loving eachother. So remembering all the bad things about a wonderful person who’s passed on just made you look pretty trashy. MJ, you are beautiful inside and out

To Paris, Prince Micheal, and Blanket,
My three children wanted to tell you that they have been in your place 5 months ago. They lost their Dad as well and feel your pain. Just know that no matter what people say, your Dad was your Dad, and they will never know him like you do. He was an amazing person who had so much talent. He left us way to soon, and no matter what the media, nor other people betray your Dad, its whats in your heart that matters. He is looking down from heaven, and is smiling on you, with his love, faith. He is never truly gone because he lives within you. May the people leave you in peace, and give you the respect that your Dad didn’t get. So let them tell their stories and lies, but you are the only ones that truly knew him. God Bless you all, and you will be in our prayers forever.. For we feel your pain. I will tell you this, right now it seems as if you will not be able to bear the pain, but in time you will be able to recall your memories without feeling the pain. We have been able to move on each day with a smile on our faces, knowing that he is right here with us. May you find that a lot of people had great respect for your Daddy, and he was the best America ever had. He cared so much for the World, and had done so much, may these people remember how generous he truly was. When he recorded the song “We are the World” , he started an amazing feeling about all of us. What we should all be doing at this time. We should be caring, loving, share our faith, and just believe.Believe that one voice carries a message that will live forever in each and all of us. We keep you in our prayers forever..
To the Jackson Family,
We are so truly heartbroken and will always keep you in our prayers. May you have the peace to grieve for your son, brother, cousin, in peace.. Thank you for the gift that you shared with the world. It was not easy for any of you, but for the world you shared and we will always be grateful. Thank you for the wonderful memorial, you did him proud!
Micheal,
You left us way to soon, may you know that even through your dark days, we believed in you! We never doubted your love for children, especially for all the generous gifts you gave our children. Some would not be here today if it wasn’t for you. May now the media gives you peace. I will truly miss you, you were my legend from my childhood until the day I leave this earth. May your good works move on through your fans… all my love.. sleep tight Prince, and may we all see you hanging from the crescent moon with a smile. For I will always be looking up.. Love you Micheal, not just for the star in you, but for the true man.
Sincerely, Carole, Samantha, Allison, Clayton

From TJ to the Jackson family -Michael through his songs and the way he performed brought joy to all those who watched. That can never be taken away from him or from the memories that the world will carry in their heart. Everyone has problems but talent is very rare. So remember the good times and good that came from that of a man named Michael Jackson.

Bicky Ladele | 7/9/2009, 12:43 am EST

Like Barrack Obama said, I grew up on his music too! MJ was simply fantastic!!! Rest in perfect peace and may the Lord in His awesomeness forgive all his earthly shortcomings.

We as humans need to asked the man or woman in the mirror, what are our personal human defects? And what can we do to change those ways?
MJ, was more than a great Dancer, Singer, Song writer, and Actor. He was a friend, brother, Uncle, Son, Father. Rest In Pace, Micheal Josph Jackson.

michael was the greatest performer ever lived his music and dance was amazing there will never be anyone like him ive been a fan from the days of Jackson5. my condolences to the jackson family RIP Michael i luv u god bless u

CrazySexyCool09 | 7/9/2009, 12:47 am EST

I cried through out the WHOLE memorial!!! :( I cried because, even though I didnt know Michael from a hole in the wall… I knew his music, his lyrics, his funky style, his voice, the problems that, he was facing in life, and everything about this man… Even though I never met him physically, I got to know him through, the power of his music… And that power was in the Staple Center yesterday. All the singers,attendees, and family members, had ALL that love for him.. Its like, I lost an actually member of my family.. Thats how deep the power of, his music touched people (me).. RIP Michael!! *Now they will leave you alone*

AND FOR ALL THE STUIPD, NIAVE, DUMB, RASICT people that are leaving these ridiculous comments:

*If you didnt like Micheal… Then… Why did you even take the TIME to write ANYTHING about him?? Huhh?? Obviously, YOU WATCHED THE MOMORIAL!!! If the title to this blog says “Mystery singer identified from MJs ceremony” Ironically, you idiots wanted to know!!! I mean come on.. Stop being hypocrites, and let his memory live on.. And you know what! You HATERS will be the first ones, blabbing to your great,great grandchildren about Michael Jackson… I hate DUMB FOLKS!

TN25 | 7/9/2009, 12:50 am EST

I am a 20 year Army veteran. I grew up listening to Michael. During my first tour in Germany, 1978-1980, and my second tour, 1983-1986, no matter what kind of club/bar you entered, you was going to hear at least one MJ song. During the Gulf War in 90-91, we would all play or listen to him. It reminded us just why we put that uniform on for. So yes Michael was, is, and will always be special to a lot of us no matter what your race is

REST IN PEACE MJ

MICHAEL JACKSON is forever in our hearts. He was not only the “King of Pop” he was the king of the enitre world. Fans all over the world loved him because he was greatest entertainer. He put his all into everything he did to show how much he appreciated his fans.

JUDITH HILL – You sang wonderfully during the Michael Jackson Memorial. Good luck with your career. I put in a friend request on MySpace, ADD me girl, you’re about to blow up!!!

CJ | 7/9/2009, 1:00 am EST

MJ was a very talented singer, writer and dancer. I remember watching him on The Jackson FIve show when I was a child and grew up with his music. He did ( or did not do ) lots of things that got the attention of the world, but his music will always be what it is…great

MStee | 7/9/2009, 1:00 am EST

She was indeed a pleasure.
R.I.P
THE ONE AND ONLY KING OF POP.
There will never be another one in this life time for you to HATE ON.

hhey LOH | 7/9/2009, 1:04 am EST

And who was the first guy to sing the we are the world? it seemed as tyra banks would “this girl’s on CRACK??” (ANTM season one). His eyes were really opened very wide…. just wondering. he had a wonderful voice but very hard to look at.

TJ/TCC | 7/9/2009, 1:05 am EST

Its all about the hypen between the year born to the year you die that determines who you are. Lets face it Michael Jackson from the time he was very young until his death was an icon and definitely lived a life unlike anyone else. So remember, enjoy the legacy of the music he left behind for us and know that he is finally at peace with himself.

Paul Donald(Haiti) | 7/9/2009, 1:06 am EST

islandtech_60 | 7/9/2009, 1:24 am EST

When I first heard of the news it was supposedly a rumor. So I thought its only a rumor. Nothing official. I placed it as such. When I got home from work my family and I started talking about Mike’s passing. I still couldn’t believe it. Finally I sat down to watch the news and that’s when it hit me. And it hit me hard. I felt part of my life had just been ripped out and it hurt.
I also grew up with Mike’s music. He gave me memories I do not ever want to forget.
Its funny how life sometimes just…..happens. I remember this one particular day. I was talking to one of my friends about music and I mentioned ” I wonder when michael is gonna come out with another album?” This of course was aroung 1978. I then went into the Army in 79. I was then transfered to Ft. Ord, California. And Lo and behold Mike bust out with the OFF THE WALL album. One of my favorites. And he took off from there. I felt like Mike and I were both at a turning point in our lives that was about to explode into phenominal conclusions. He really did turn the world around. Opened a lot of eyes and minds. The whole world was at a turn around.
It really hurt to see him go. I cried for this guy cause I felt like I knew him on a personal level even though I never met him.
I have lost a good friend and I know I will see him again. Just not in this universe. He truly made my life much easier to deal with. His songs were so inspirational and uplifting it just made me sing along or dance. And I don’t dance.
Goodbye my friend. Until we meet again.

OK... Already! | 7/9/2009, 1:25 am EST

Ok… I get it! MJ passed away. Can we let him rest in peace? If the media would leave the story alone, it would give the family time to heal. Put yourself in their shoes! I’m sorry for his loss. But I don’t get it…. Does anyone who posts a comment, personal know him? How can you be a judge of what type of a person he was? I believe it’s only fair for people close to him to comment on the type of person he was…. We should be celebrating life’s works…

Krista | 7/9/2009, 1:28 am EST

God Bless MJ for the gift he gave us and the many gifts he will give us for the rest of our lives. May he sing with the angels.

I also have to say the memorial was amazing.

take time to reflect..... | 7/9/2009, 1:30 am EST

Condolence to the jackson family, MJ really was one of the greatest entertainer ever lived, no doubt about it, and i dont question the memorial spotlight that had been given to him. He deserves it.. My only question is, “is it really human nature to appreciate the positive things, even the smallest, that a man did when he dies while the alive was mocked even to the smallest negative thing he had done”….. “Why dont we give the same respect as we gave MJ to the people who sacrifices their own lives/happines/time so we can can have our own life happiness and time”….. Think of it…

Perki | 7/9/2009, 1:33 am EST

I have loved Michael Jackson since i was a little girl. He was so unique and so talented. He was just a man in the end~no more no less. He was a daddy, son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend. Ya he was a star but when you talk trash remember everyday someone dies-yes it was his day. But remember to and ask yourself how many millions have you donated to charity? How have you changed the world? Ya we should celebrate his life, can you sing or dance like that i know i sure in the hell can’t? God makes each one of us unique and special and gives us each a cross to bear and a talent and we just see his all over the world. I loved to watch him dance that is for sure. So ya know when you point your finger at someone and accuse them of something look at yourself because there are always 3 fingers pointing at yourself first. If i had his fame i would try to use it for good too and change some people..but change is hard and hate is easy.

bigdaves.mom | 7/9/2009, 1:33 am EST

I raised my 2 sons in the seventies. I’ll never forget the 1st time they moonwalked and then got on the floor and started break dancing. It was at a wedding and Billie Jean came on. Everyone stopped to watch, not one frown in the place. Thank You Michael, for being in my heart, my sons hearts and my grandchildren’s heart. You will remain there forever. RIP KING

Judith Hill is magic. What a talent. Very lovely voice. Thank you for singing making a better place for you and for me. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
Love always.

JJ | 7/9/2009, 1:42 am EST

To all the people who have addressed the “freedom of speech” issue…yes…you do have the right do voice your oppinion.

However, we are all humans. It is only decent for us to respect the passing of another human being. MJ was someone’s son, father, brother, best friend…that alone deserves our respect.

You have the right to voice that you didn’t care for his music, but as humans, can’t we do it respectfully?

I am a white female, and although I didn’t care for every song, I did appreciate MJ for stepping up to the plate, and lending a helping hand to those who needed it the most…for taking the time and energy to care. He didn’t have to. Depsite what he may or may not have done, and only GOD knows that, it does not erase all of the good deeds he has done…it doesn’t erase all the lives that he has blessed. God bless the man who did all this, after being so abused as a child. Have you ever been through that?

Yes, you have to right to say whatever you please…but why can’t it be done respectfully?

rob salvador | 7/9/2009, 1:42 am EST

we will really miss u endlessly….

staceyfromtx | 7/9/2009, 1:45 am EST

The memorial was so sad. I started crying when they brought in Michael in his casket and I did not stop until the end. I loved Michael I grew up with him and his music. He will be missed. God bless his family his children and all of the fans like me who will miss him for the rest of our lives. Goodbye Michael I love you. Staceyfromtx

texas for micheal | 7/9/2009, 1:48 am EST

Here in this world there will allways be people with a negative word, and then there is michael that never stoped at anything people had to say about him, he kept pushing no matter what. He produced good music,vidios,albums, concerts, for us to injoy, what did we provide for him but a negative word. Michael lives on no matter what anybody says.

Scott C. Waring-Author | 7/9/2009, 1:51 am EST

HE ROCKED THE WORLD WHEN HE LIVED AND NOW EVEN DEATH WILL NOT STOP MJ FROM ROCKING US ON EARTH!!! THIS GUY IS A REAL THRILLER !!

MJ WALKS ON WATER NOW AND FOREVER!!

200+ UNPUBLISHED SONGS IN HIS VAULT=10 NEW ALBUMS PUBLISHED OVER 15-25 YEARS. WE WILL GET NEW MJ MUSIC UNTIL THE YEAR 2030 !!! ALL HAIL THE GREAT MJ !!

Scott C. Waring-Author | 7/9/2009, 1:53 am EST

Check out Yahoo news under science section….it says MJ told someone that “he definatly wanted to clone himself.”

Perhaps the clone died, so MJ staged his own death????

Vera L. Cheeks | 7/9/2009, 1:58 am EST

JUNE 25 2009
MY FOREVER LOVE FOR MY KING MICHEAL JACKSON

One of my favorite songs is “YOU GIVE ME BUTTERFILIES” Michael that is what you are now a butterfly. I can just see you now smiling, spinning, singing, and just laughing up there in those clouds, now you can spread your pretty wings beautifully, and freely with no hurt, judgment, or pain. Michael soar like Peter Pan with one glove in your hand and our hearts in the other.

My heart is so, so heavy with deep sadness that you are “GONE TO SOON”.. We will keep your memory alive. People need to look at the “MAN IN THE MIRROR” (themselves) and let you finally have some peace. You are the “BADDEST”… and I always wanted to be your “LIBERIAN GIRL ooh Micael “YOU ROCK MY WORLD. I “REMEMBER THE TIME in 1979 watching you walk across the street in NYC and wishing I had spoken to you and going to your concert saying to myself I GOT TO BE THERE. Your show was “OFF THE WALL. I went to “HEARTBREAK HOTEL when you sung about “BILLIE JEAN and not me. I wanted to SCREAM!!!

Michael it’s just “HUMAN NATURE and “JUST ANOTHER PART OF ME that wanted to be your “PRETTY YOUNG THING, but I had to “KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET…It was not in the stars for our paths to cross. No one could and ever will “ROCK WITH YOU” “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” and you should never have to wonder WHO’S LOVIN YOU… Michael I love THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL low to high “BLACK OR WHITE”. It is a “THRILLER” feeling to watch you perform and that will always stay with me. Our love for you Michael will never “STOP BECAUSE WE DIDN’T GET ENOUGH”
.
Your life on this earth was done, and you “HEALED THE WORLD” with your songs and for that Michael I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU… but….
This is not it!!!! Your next journey is just beginning and it will be so smooth like a slick “SMOOTH CRIMINAL”that will make you say wow!!! I am finally here….Dear Micheal I NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE and “I WANT YOU BACK”. But your in heaven now and one day I’ll see you again because “‘I’LL BE THERE!!!!!

Sleep in heavenly peace!!!!

Be strong Jackson family your king will live on forever, our love, and prayers are forever with you. “R.I.P. MY KING, MY MAN.. MR. MICHEAL JACKSON”
Your forever fan Vera The Diva Cheeks

And to anyone out there who did not love or respect Micheal’s music….Please give him and his family the common courtesy of keeping your negative comments to yourself, this is what killed him. Did your parents raise a troll?

bradshaw | 7/9/2009, 2:07 am EST

Please stop it already!

If you dont like MJ, then dont ask everybody to stop loving him. Who do you think you are? Do you enjoy being judged? If you’ve been judge and got over it well that is good for you but hey just imagine the life a celebrity has to go through. How much they have to spend just to have a little bit of privacy.
We, commoners are lucky to have our lives privately. So please stop being rude and cruel.
If you dont like MJ then, dont read anything about him so you dont need to have an outburst.
You dont like him but when you see his name you read it. That is so rediculous. If you dont like someone or something stop paying attantion to it.

Just please, have a little respect. MJ is dead, all of us mourners lost someone. We may not know him personally or MJ may not know us but we know him. A person, a human being, a friend, a father an advocate of peace, a performer. We knew him and he made us happy and smile when we see him dance when we hear his songs. He made us happy in one way or another it was like he was with us through his music.

He represented himself to us as a performer……….. ….. …le t it be.

If he changed the way he looks bec. it will make him happy then let him be. To each is his own.Our ecsentrucity and mistakes is what makes us human. Dont make him what you want him to be.

He will truly be with us……….
We are lucky we are in this era of great performers atleast we got to know MJ no matter how we knew him atleat he made us smile, he made us want to dance, he made us want to do the moonwalk and he made us want to sing………..

May the angels of God guide him to his way to paradise where there is no hatred and hardship, no pain and judging eyes.

We will truly miss him…………..our Michael Joseph Jacson, our Happy making machine…………. God Bless you! No matter what, please look down and smile to us.

elyce | 7/9/2009, 2:15 am EST

he was an amazing artist and a very nice person. sometimes too nice to defend his-self against negative comments and allegations made about him. stress from that and his upcoming comeback tour, i believe, is what contributed to his early passing.

we all have memories to his music as well as loving it for what it was. Miss you, love you, your soul lives on. Rest in Peace MJ

MJ - you are the one | 7/9/2009, 2:25 am EST

Frankly I like MJ’s songs and dance moves but I do not know too much of his personal life except for some of the bad press about him. Really, we should give him a break as we should remember the sayings: “Let the person without sin be the first to cast the stone against her(MJ)”.

If anyone had the talent to win so many musical awards, gain immence international fame and be placed under the most minute public scrutiny, I would suspect he or she would behave like a snobbish, spoilt and wicked kind of person. We do not know some of the things are true, exagerated or incriminated about MJ but as a whole, MJ had done alright as a person. Let us not judge lest we be judged.

I was hoping & praying that michael jackson will survived but unfortunately he did not. I am an avid fan of him since I was 10 yrs. old. Michael Joseph Jackson thank you for your music, for being humble, & teaching us how to save & heal the world, to love unconditionally. Well done Michael, Mission Accomplished. Your now safe in God’s Loving Hand. WE LOVE YOU AND FOR SURE WE ALL GONNA MISS YOU. My heartfelt condolences to the Jackson’s Family, relatives & Friends.

My heart goes out to your family as well your friends who lost a wonderful man so early in life. RIP Michael you will always be part of us.

stop talking non sense about Michael,nobody is perfect.let him rest in peace.he is unique.

AUSTINTEXAS | 7/9/2009, 2:35 am EST

A boy in San Antonio Texas 1968, started listening to you when he was 5 years old on 55 KTSA am radio. He used to watch the Saturday morning cartoon show “The Jackson 5″. “Never can say good bye” had special meaning as a child to him and the album “Off The Wall” reminds him of his highschool sweetheart that dumped him while he was in bootcamp. “Thriller” was the beginning of the music video Worldwide Premieres on MTV , and MJ you were the hottest ticket around.He and his bandmates would get set all week if you know what I mean, for 14 minutes of “What’s Michael got for us now?”
Of course he never let them down.Between that time and today he watched in complete admiration as you took each decade and made it the fabric of our lives. You owned every stage you stepped out on and You entertained us with everything you had. Then at some point the boy became older as you somehow seemed to get younger. And although life can sometimes move in directions that are not of our own choosing you chose to simply keep living…..I can remember all these things and more as though they were yesterday. What an astonishing journey to have been on. I will always remember The man, the boy, The way I want to remember. He was, My generation. My peer……My Memory.

RIP MJ

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson as well. I loved his music. Still do! It is still a shock to me to know that he is gone. I give my condolences to his children and family. His father contributed to his death in a mental way because of past abuse and pushing him too hard in growing up. I adore his mother, she was a caring woman. and I just want to say to all who post negative things about Michael Jackson are just really jealous of who he was and they wish they had the attention he had and still has. I call all the the negative people “snot-balls”! Michael Jackson is the best singer and dancer on the face of this earth and there will “NEVER” “EVER” be another one like him! so don’t hate because he can sing, don’t hate because he was beautiful. Don’t hate because you don’t have the intelligence or kindness that he has had. You are just super jealous of Michael Jackson. I LOVE HIS MUSIC, MOONWALKS AND HIS CHARACTER, AND HIS PERSONALITY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE! MAY GOD BE WITH HIS MOM,SIBLINGS AND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS FRIENDS IN THEIR TIME OF GRIEF.
HIS BROTHER SANGED A BEAUTIFUL SONG !

May his gentle soul rest in peace and my unreserved love to his children.

MJ is the true,the kind & the beauty in a poetic sense. who else can stand up and act/sing/dance/give like him? the fallen ones should keep their mouth shut.

tij | 7/9/2009, 3:13 am EST

HOLY COW! Of all the performances in the MJ Memorial, I replayed WE ARE THE WORLD and HEAL THE WORLD many many times. I am addicted to Judith Hill’s voice!!!!!

At first, I thought who were these people but it was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR to hear non-superstars taking the lead to sing. That was a REAL NICE change to hear NEW VOICES!!!

I want to hear more of her! And that Black bald dude backup singer was good too. And the guy with the hat and glasses was such a smooth singer. Goosebumps. Those were the BIG 3 to me that I want to hear again and again.

Rowan | 7/9/2009, 3:14 am EST

People should look in the mirror! MJ made mistakes, but so did we all! When i look at him i c the good things he has done!
Love you Michael Jackson

MIKE | 7/9/2009, 3:22 am EST

YOU PEOPLE HAVE LOST YOUR MINDS. THIS GUY WAS NOT GOD!

The Reynolds Family | 7/9/2009, 3:28 am EST

To all who listen to the king of rock(MICHAEL JACKSON)know his music was thee best, we all will missss him greatly,we thank his family for all his wonderful gifts god bless them all..love a great heart..

Just an old lady | 7/9/2009, 3:38 am EST

I was not a diehard fan of Michael’s, never saw a concert, never bought an album but I enjoyed some of his music and felt great respect for what he accomplished and what he had to overcome in his lifetime. He doesn’t deserve the rude comments left on here. I don’t think it’s right to compare him to Elvis, John, Richie, Buddy or any of the other greats who have passed on. Each had their faithful followers, each was great in their own way. Most importantly, they all had more talent than most of the rest of this earth’s population could ever hope to have. I pray that they are all performing together, in harmony, in God’s Heaven. God Bless them all for what they gave us. They are all greatly missed and will never be replaced.

jean pensee | 7/9/2009, 3:39 am EST

Nora | 7/9/2009, 8:20 am EST

Go, Judith, heal the world with your beautiful voice, aura and sincerity. I’m glad to read comments here by those who know you personally that you’re a great person.

Michelle Madyun, CA | 7/9/2009, 9:01 am EST

MICHAEL JACKSON will be forever in our hearts. He was not only the “King of Pop” he was the king of the enitre world. Fans all over the world loved him because he was greatest entertainer. He put his all into everything he did to show how much he appreciated his fans.

JUDITH HILL – You sang wonderfully during the Michael Jackson Memorial. Good luck with your career. I put in a friend request on MySpace, ADD me girl, you’re about to blow up!!!

Pam | 7/9/2009, 2:49 pm EST

Judith Hill is a great singer with a soulful voice and her performance was a beautiful appreciation of Michael Jackson.

Marley | 7/9/2009, 4:20 pm EST

I believe the gorgeous blonde beside Judith Hill was a MJ backup dancer. Her name is Tyne Stecklein.

yvonne | 7/9/2009, 8:48 pm EST

its funny to me how u can tlk trash about a man tht has made a mark in ppls lives but u aint done shit! let tht God sent man rest in peace

ktbbbb | 7/9/2009, 9:05 pm EST

Judith…your vocals are excellent and when can we hear more from you…
To all anti-MJ out there …let me remind you tat he is the GREATEST of all time.

Mimi | 7/9/2009, 9:20 pm EST

He knew real talent when he saw it. Everything he touched shines. Good luck Mrs. Hill. he picked you for your real talent..

KeepItReal | 7/9/2009, 9:42 pm EST

All the prayers and thoughts to those who mourn for MJ. His family, friends, fans. He was a great artist and entertainer. He was somebodys friend, brother, son, father. In his prime his dance inspired even artists today who emulate his style. Was he the King of Pop, yes he was. But lets not forget he also had a dark side. And where he inspired others with his music he also brought pain to others. Alot of people dont want to see the reality of it because there was no conviction. The truth is because said victims couldnt prove it doenst mean it did not happen. Money makes the world go round and things go “away”. In the time of mourning people forget the bad and remember only want they want to. Just like Elvis. Keep It Real. It is what it is. Is it justice to the victims who didnt have the means to prove their innoncence and have justice be served as the justice system is supposed to do. MJ was as innocent as OJ and Nicole Brown and Bill Clinton who “never touched that woman.” This is not hate or jeoulousy. Just keeping it real.

mj watcher | 7/9/2009, 9:59 pm EST

Judith Hill was great! whats the name of her own CD?

OBSERVER | 7/9/2009, 10:24 pm EST

MJ’s good heart was defiled by his wrong decision to love those strangers so dearly & let them prey on his hard-earned USD, should ‘ve love himself more. there is no such things as American value or Democracy but only Man in the mirror. becareful to open your house to total strangers! princes & paris, don’t repeat this mistake as your dad did.

BT | 7/10/2009, 12:08 am EST

Whenever there was a stage and whenever MJ was around, he
would be the one on the stage with all the explosively sensational
singing and dance moves that would blow your mind away.

It seem strange now that for once that there was a stage and
that MJ was around, others would be the ones on the stage
singing while MJ would be down at the stage laying motionlessly.

It seem strange now that for an event that is all about MJ, with so many others far and wide watching every moment of it, he should be there but not watching any bit of it.

jaysoncabanilla | 7/10/2009, 12:40 am EST

antoinette | 7/10/2009, 10:19 am EST

Firstly I’d like to congratulate all those that performed on stage @ Michael Jackson’s Memorial – their ability to fight back tears was admirable…as there would have been no way I could have NOT cried singing @ such a sad event. Secondly, having heard others singing HIS songs only confirmed to me that there will never be anyone that could ever replace the voice that MJ had. Those songs are his songs & only his voice can bring out the many emotions I’ve experience over the yrs, including the tears. His song writing was absolutely inspiring & meaningful, & very expressive. All those that performed on the day had beautiful voices too but unfortunately, NO ONE could bring out my emotions the way he could. I love you MJ & didn’t realise what an impact you had on my life until the realisation I will no longer have more songs to carry through the next however many yrs I am alive BUT the past 40yrs, you inspired me to get through some of the toughest times in my life, through your music & for that, I thank & love you. Now you can rest in peace w/the other talented performers but none as great as you were…thank you God for giving us Michael.

Deena Allen | 7/10/2009, 10:52 am EST

When I saw this young woman singing “We are the World” and “Heal the World”, at Michael Jackson’s Memorial, all I could say was, who is this beautiful lady with that lovely voice and presence. Ms. Hill, you are definitely going places. You are truly awesome!

tarah | 7/10/2009, 2:10 pm EST

maria sang, usher, germain, stevie … and others singers that we don’t know in france. And suddenly, there is a voice. and whereas we dont pay attention with others singers, here, we all said but who is she ? Judith was just stunning.

Linda | 7/10/2009, 7:57 pm EST

To that ROn Mexico…
How can you be so sure that happened, where you there? What is the stupid point of getting in here and writing a comment to say something like that? we do not know what happened of if that happened…but oh well, with that name you are probably a chilango, those are the only that will comment stupid things on anything, and will pretend they know the world.

HunnyBeez | 7/10/2009, 11:49 pm EST

No one here is making Michael Jackson out to be a god of some sort. Face it, whether you loved him or hated him, the man was great at what he did.

Seriously. Think about it. Michael has been in the spotlight at least since he was 7. There has never really been a time when he WASN’T famous. Michael never got to have the childhood that we all got to. Riding bikes, walking to the corner for candy/ice cream, playing ball… none of it. His childhood was filled with rehearsals, and strict parenting so that his gift could be cultivated and eventually shared with the world, With that, he had to mature quickly, and take on the responsibility of one charged with such a great gift… a great destiny. And he did not shirk his responsibility, nor did he disappoint us. He grew up before our eyes; experiencing every high and low that we all go through in teenage years–but before a grueling and harsh public. Was called ugly and big nose by family and fans alike. For someone who hasn’t been properly socialized, and is sensitive, that can have a result of great detriment. Everytime this man moved, it was covered by someone. Imagine having little to NO privacy. Not really knowing social norms, because you were not privy to them. This man had the mindset of a 10 year old child… a child who was disciplined quite harshly… and had deep emotional scars that he tried to heal with music, and later, medication.

And even still, after all the hurt he’s experienced, Michael still showed love. He gave of himself. TO ALL PEOPLE. And that’s why I really can’t understand how some people can still harbor hate for a person because of their skin color–because to be honest, all those who say that they are not racist, the things that they are saying do not prove otherwise. I think that those who harbor hate are those who are afraid to look at that man/woman in the mirror, because they may get a clear picture of what they really are…but I’m just saying.

I say all that to say this: before you pass judgement on Michael, moonwalk a mile or even a block in his shoes.

And for a person as great as Michael was, and looking at his accomplishments, yes, he’s deserving of his kudos. Michael was the biggest star in the world. You can go to any country and say Michael Jackson, and they know EXACTLY who you are talking about, and can probably sing a few of his songs, and not know another word of English. Tell me that’s not big. Do you want people to say “Eh, he/she’s dead. Get over it” when YOU die? What if I talk about who YOU molested? Do I have proof? No, but I just think you did it, and now you are a child molester… hmmm… but I’m just saying… okay I’ve said enough.

Kathy Morin Casillas | 7/11/2009, 1:43 am EST

Awesome job, Judith!!!!! amazing!!! Perfect!!!! Loved it!!! Great closing to a great tribute to Michael!!!

Adria | 7/11/2009, 2:29 am EST

To the haters, why don’t you get a freaking life instead of posting negative comments? And if you hate MJ that much then why the hell are you reading MJ related news? GET A LIFE!

Steve | 7/11/2009, 8:56 am EST

Hasan,the girl in the sunglasses next to Judith was was NOT Britney Spears, it was the feamale guitarist from Michael’s band..the one seen from the rehersal footage.

antoinette | 7/11/2009, 11:12 am EST

Honeybeez, here here! Thank you for your input – I can’t agree more w/your comments. He did more for the world than those sitting on their behinds @ home, critcizing & passing judgement when they have not lived in his shoes nor were they present @ anything that he was accused of. He never said a bad word about anyone when he had every right to. He just continued to accept people ridiculing him & tried to make the world a better place as best he could. Thank you Honeybeez!

Melissa - Upstate, NY | 7/11/2009, 8:37 pm EST

Thanks Honeybeez – I could not have said it better myself. I am still so affected by MJ’s death.

As for Judith – what an amazing and soulful performance. She will recieve the stardom she is undoubtedly entitled to.

Harvey | 7/12/2009, 5:58 am EST

Why celebrate pure evil?

James Otto | 7/12/2009, 4:00 pm EST

MJ SUX. You people are so delusional. The only thing he was GREAT at was seducing young boys. He was a gay man, who was so beaten down by his father and religion, that he was ashamed of being gay. So, he suppressed his natural instincts, and expressed himself sexually with the most vulnerable person on earth. A child. Several children. He’s no better than a priest. He should of just been a gay guy, and had relations with full grown men. he would’ve been happier, and probably would’ve still been alive today.

raschel from iran | 7/13/2009, 12:09 am EST

I am not an English speaker but I love R.I.P mj `s music I couldn’t understand the word of his songs correctly but I liked his musical dances and I know all ppl in the world sing loves by one language. I know his albums were full of loves. Are all people in world innocent? At least he didn’t assert to be a saint. He deserved to be in paradise more than so many ppl that say bad about him he is in the heaven watching down us.
hello mj the world will miss you.

Heal The World | 7/13/2009, 2:30 am EST

If you have been watching the Michael Jackson memorial and listening to all what has been said about him .. we will know that he is THE GREATEST SINGER MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME – PERIOD!

Talk about seizing the moment and stepping up when your name is called. This young lady was simply amazing on Heal the World and We are the world. She sung with such emotion and such conviction. Definitely stole the show… My hat is off to her…

Francis Parallag | 7/15/2009, 8:21 am EST

She’s the best singer on the memorial service for MJ. I love her voice. She actually sound a bit like MJ. Try to close your eyes and listen to her again… there were moments that she sounded like MJ.

i must say she hit home for me she has the most amazing voice i have heard in a long time . gal you should get a contract

Vincent, Singapore. | 7/20/2009, 5:46 am EST

Just as the many ignorant people are accusing of MJ’s child molestation and condenmination of him.
Think about it this way. If I were to curse you and hope you die when you cross the road, you, a total stranger to me, would it not be the same as if you are talking to a total stranger to MJ? Hmm!

cact25 | 7/20/2009, 8:03 pm EST

It is reaaly dumb to bring up freedom of speech here. We already know that we have it. Some of us also know that we also have the right to not speak. Some of us know that there are always ignorant fools who will speak just to hear themselves, or just to espouse hate. Some of us were taught as children that if we did not have something nice to say, then we should not say anything. It is better to let people think you are a fool and say nothing, than to open your mouth and prove them right.
More important than his singing, music, and dancing, was his humanitarianism. He helped others and tried to make the world better. What have you done to make the world better?

jerjorju | 7/24/2009, 4:19 pm EST

I was so impressed with this singer’s voice I had to search to find out about her. The comments on this article should be about Judith and where to hear more from her.

Comments about Michael should be posted with articles about him.

Judith Hill, if you are reading this. I hope we hear more from you.

Judith Hill ROCK ON | 7/25/2009, 2:07 pm EST

“Nobody here is celebrating George W. Bush.”

Not Bush, but Barack Obama. He created a LARGER DEFICIT in 6 months than what Bush did in 8 years!

Though, I do agree with you when you say:

“I love how some males view women as pieces of meat.”
