Michael Jackson is an amazing man.
i now believe in god because of him, and his talent, how could you not think there was some meaning for this man to be on this earth, and some lesson as to why he died when and how he did. there is no one like him-there will Never be. MJ was trapped when he became apart of the Jackson 5, when he was 5, and couldent break free, though he wanted to so badly his whole life. It’s a shame that in this world a man or woman must die because we become overly obbsessed with their personal lives, when all there talent and fame is in their art, not what they do or where they go or what they read,eat,say,wear! Princess Diana for example, look at those tapes of the papparatzii basically knocking her down to get a photo or word, thats insane, she died from a simple photo people! we need tot hink of celebrities as we would think of any other person, there not aliens, they have more talent or luck, but there human. and Michael Jackson was a human, a man, he was an angel trying to help the world see things through the eyes of a child, the purity and innocence, but all they did was attack him and ultimatley buryed him. MJ need not die in vain, take his tortured, bittersweet life and death as a lesson and STOP StaLKING Celebrities. leave them be. would you want camaras flashing in your face 24 hours a day, no privacy and when you just want to buy a drink- “why are you getting that kind of drink?, why? who? when? Where? – why does it matter?!! thats not what there famous for. Michael was a brilliant man, and whoever dosent believe that thats there problem, and i hope you learn the TRUTH one day. He is now without his voice, his talent, his dance, his kids, because of the story we were all out to get. but now well never know, because we dident listen when he tried to explain. we ridiculed him and judged him for 50 years! now what did we learn about Michael Jackson? mabey we should listen the next time a human tries to speak. Im technically not even an adult yet, and i have more compassion and understanding for a human than most 40 year olds do.

Listen before you speak please!, mabey this beatiful man could have been with his kids this easter. we should have seen the pain and distortion in his eyes and actions, we should have left him alone, we should have tried to understand what he was trying to say.

We should have not push him to the end of the bridge. we all had a part in his death- the judgers, the accusers, the doctors, the media, the paparatzii, the magazine and news buyers.

but it dosent matter that an innocent man died right, as long as we are still living.

Thank God his music and dance is still alive though, and that was the reason for his life, but we wanted more than 13 #1 hits, 8 grammys, decades of music, over $300,000,000 donated to charities and over 30 short films.
Yes, we wanted more from this man , and yet we still dont understand. what was it all for?
To learn a lesson people, and if you still dont care, again, thats your problem. you wouldent be able to live the life the King of Pop had, unless you were invincable to pain, neglect and torment.

I love MJ, I will for life, Im 17, in school writing this, and i hope whoever reads it will listen, and learn.
Rest in Peace Michael- finally.

I love you- and thats all he wanted.

And like what Madge said that we can never know the importance of someone until he or she has been taken from you. I felt sorry for Madge, she was supposed to surprise MJ on the This Is It Concert. MJ knows Madonna’s good intentions and I believe MJ, eventhough he’s gone, is thankful for Madonna’s graceful words on the MTV tribute.

That tape was recorded a decade ago, things change, people change. Madonna might even admit she was a bitch at that time when she was like onto MJ, but Madonna has changed gradually to a mature icon, and MJ would thought otherwise than to re-iterate what he said on the tapes. Madge was, I think, regretful of the dominating part on MJ, we all Madonna’s drive to get attention when it comes to men, she was young back then. And I think MJ and Madonna wouldve made a big reconciliation if the O2 Arena wouldve taken place. that’s the part wheer Madge felt guilty and sorry she never had that chance to apologize to Mike, she’s setting things in order like the way she did with Kevin costner.

These tapes and book truly bring insite into the man behind the music. This world has truly lost another great shining star, as was said, “The greatest entertainer ever.” He reminds me though of the smiling and crying clown faces you see. The smiling face is for the crowds, the crying one when your alone. It reminds me of the saying, that you can be in a crowded room and still feel alone, for him the adulation of the world and still he felt alone. I just wish that someone could have gotten through to him and saved him, but as is often the case, no one could. I thank God for the time on earth that we had him, and I wish him eternal peace and happiness now. May God Bless and keep you Michael.

I pray that he is at peace, such a talented human being, so sad that he never felt what he made others feel with his music… may he rest in peace but always live in our hearts.
