    A coworker told me about this site. I clicked on it and literally laughed out loud.

    Still RIP Michael. You'll be missed. :(

    I agree on that he was very talented.His childhood seemed to have been hard for him.
    I can't judge what or what not he did with those children.
    As an entertained he did a great job

    Just one thing that bothers me a little....
    Every day firefighters,police men,doctors,soldiers and people of other job groups save lives and they don't get as many credits & aren't as glorified for their work as entertainers do...
    Just a thought...
     
  4. He has donated more than $300 million dollars to various charities, he deserves every bit of glorification he gets - and MUCH more.

    I'm not saying he doesn't deserve glorification.I'm jut saying he's not the only person who deserves glorification and to be honored.
    Sorry if it came off wrong but there's plenty people out there who do good in the world in many different ways but many of them don't get the credit they deserve.

    There is no one like Micheal Jackson,he was a brother that come once in a lifetime. It was pleasing that he's thankful for the pioneers before him like James Brown and Jackie Wilson. On You Tube I've seen MJ thanking JB for the moves and talent. He was the greatest.

    Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and David Ruffin are among others whom Michael Jackson was able to form his skilled talent for being the ultimate entertainer.

    Does anyone know where his funeral gong to be? I feel like going to his funeral and dance and do the moon walk, like those folks did outside UCLA ER

    I read today that the family is debating on getting a second autopsy and also debating on whether to have a private funeral or a very public celebration of his life and music.

    They're still reeling from the whole thing and trying to get some answers (according to the article). I don't think they've made up their minds yet.

    Hey GZ,

    I heard on the radio that they're having a public viewing on the Neverland Ranch on Friday, with a private memorial on Sunday.

    Also, the mayor of Gary, IN is trying to get him there, to "lay in state" next week. So, maybe you'll get your chance to experience it after all. :smt023

    Huh. Now according to Yahoo, the family is saying a memorial will NOT be at Neverland Ranch. The family isn't saying where yet....
