I don't think Diana Ross has said anything yet either and they were really close. One could only imagine how that poor woman's feeling. You know people react in different ways. As far as we know, P may b in deep seclusion crying over the loss of a friend and rival. He could b b composing a song in MJ's honor. Who knows? I'm sure he's remembering MJ in the same fashion that he wishes 2 b for in the end - THE MUSIC. Peace [Edited 6/26/09 10:29am] Cool! Diana has spoken. I stand corrected.

Lisa Marie's blog on Michael.
http://blogs.myspace.com/...d=42291868 He Knew.
Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death. At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did." I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that. 14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears. A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy. All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted. I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once. Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much. I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then. At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated. When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad. Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions. I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow. After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now. As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted. Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together. I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is. The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right. I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening. ~LMP [Edited 6/26/09 10:41am] | |

The first album I ever bought was Bad, I was 16 then, it was on my turntable constantly for months.
The first concert I ever went to was the Bad show at Roundhay park in Leeds, my sister bought me a ticket for my 17th birthday, even though I didn't have the best view it was still an awesome show. Both Michael Jackson and Prince give me very fond memories of my teenage years. I'll never forget you Michael and I wish your family all the best. I wanted what was yours, now I just want u 2 care | |

Wow, Lisa's blog on Michael... truly sad. I remember so many fans hating her but I always thought they have no idea what was going on between them and what painful things unfold even when you love someone.
I like what Mo'Nique said... how she can't feel sadness and feel blessed at the same time. That she feels blessed to be a part of his generation and to be around to see all of his talent. She thanked him for giving us so much and that we are all going someday. He would not want us to be sad. This--the feelings, the music non-stop, people gathering--is a celebration of his life.

I was too shocked to post yesterday (on Part 1).
On the radio here, there was a station that had just switched their format to dance music last weekend... and they had an awesome (live?) DJ mix tribute, and they were blending the songs together sweetly. All of the hype dance songs of MJ's or "Jacksons" where Michael sang lead. I'm pretty sure this was the order I heard it. I was driving. "The Way You Make Me Feel" "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground" "Thriller".. somehow the bassline and drums slipped perfectly underneath the chorus of "Shake Your Body" "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" cool to hear the chorus of "Thriller" over this.. made me feel some joy "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" This one just sorta fit tempowise "Pretty Young Thing" opening chords of PYT fit underneath the "mama say mama sa" chant The mix continued, but this was part of my memories of June 25, 2009.  
It actually really helps listening to his music... but the context of the events make it bittersweet. | |

I trust some of her more intimate comments there having a ring of simple humble truth in them, to my ear. If this is what for his whole adult life Michael has actually believed of himself, at some level, it should then be not such a big surprise that that is then ultimately exactly the outcome that would happen. Fame. I would never want fame... but at the same time... it gave him power to speak to the world... a remarkable yet tragic guy... RIP ¶ēą¢ė, Måĉ | |

Michael Jackson Autopsy Underway
By Mike Fleeman UpdatePosted Friday June 26, 2009 01:10 PM EDT Originally posted Friday June 26, 2009 12:45 PM EDT As police make plans to conduct a second interview with Michael Jackson's doctor, the autopsy on the singer began Friday morning to determine the cause of his mysterious death, with Los Angeles County's top medical examiner conducting the procedure himself. Jackson, 50, was declared dead at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Thursday afternoon after suffering a cardiac arrest in his home. His body was airlifted across town to the offices of the Los Angeles coroner for the autopsy that began fewer than 24 hours later. Police already interviewed the physician who was present with Jackson at the time he was stricken, and contrary to reports the doctor "is not a missing person," says LAPD spokeswoman Officer Karen Rayner. The doctor "needs to be interviewed further," but the interview "just has not happened yet," she said. The doctor's car was impounded because "it contains potential information, medications or other evidence," she added. At the coroner's office, Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, who has handled the high-profile O.J. Simpson and Phil Specter murder cases, was conducting the autopsy, which should take several hours, according to Ed Winter, chief of investigations for the coroner's office. Given allegations of possible prescription drug abuse by the entertainer, a final determination of the cause of death will likely have to await toxicology tests, which can take days or weeks. ...

For most of us, radio was an essential part of our childhood experience. It used to be an event to turn on the radio.....then came video.
Video liberated the imagination and turned our favorite artists into living beings. I was 12 when Thriller came out. Like so many of you, I too remember the first time seeing that video and how obsessed my sister and I became with it. We watched it EVERY SINGLE TIME it came on. From beginning to end. That video was just monumental. The vast majority of Gen Xers, male/female/straight/gay, fell into one of 3 camps. You became a freak for Michael Jackson, Prince or Madonna. I happened to follow Prince. I loved both Michael Jackson and Madonna during their prime but for some reason never connected with them the way I did Prince. But I understand the devotion that anyone feels for any of these 3 artists. Over the years, I lost contact with Michael Jackson. The last 15 years or so never brought me back to any point where I felt the need to indulge in his music. When I would hear the classics, I always listened but I never sought them out. Like so many are expressing, I didn't realize how much Michael Jackson meant to me until now. Of course I would have the general sympathies when someone dies but I honestly did not think I would take his passing this hard. Before all the scandal and wacko jacko antics, Michael Jackson had established firmly in the hearts minds and souls of people around this planet both legacy and legend. It is that legend that I remember growing up with. Is is that legend that I remember watching on the TV screen in absolute awe when he did the moonwalk. It is that legend that I remember my mother glowing over as I was discovering him as a young adult. It is that legend that has me realizing how much of an impact his music really had on my life. That legend brought me and my sister, who never got along otherwise, together to watch his magic. That legend brought my family together to watch the concert we were too poor to attend, but we watched it with laughter, dance and tears. That legend brought my cousin and friends together to jam out whenever his music would hit the airwaves. That legend has brought this world together in remembering so much magic, so much happiness and has unified people in pain. I have my own opinions of the life he lived and I believe at the heart of it that Michael Jackson wasn't an evil person but just one of many who couldn't escape his own pain. I will reflect on the life that he lived, pray for those who survive him and simply remember the time..... .

I'm happy I saw you in concert Michael in 1996/1997. What a wonderful experience and you seemed so close and in my reach. I wanted to give you a big big hug.
Even though I had a disability which occurred eight days after I was born because of too little oxygen. I always wanted to dance like you and be you and did when I was younger. I dressed up as you many a time to school, and performed your songs and even won some contests imitating you there. There is a home movie of me when I was really little dancing to your music, it will be uploaded soon, I know it will bring you a few smiles. 
I wrote you a support song in 2003, which your spokesperson at the time did hand to you, although I don't know how you felt about it, I'm happy you got to hear it. Not only on a personal level but on a musical level you influenced me majorly, and more so than ever I'm determined to keep on creating. I must tell you Michael my sister is just as sad as I am and she couldn't stop crying. I had to hold her. Me and her we performed "Scream" together in 2004 right before I had major back surgery, which I almost didn't survive, but God decided to give me a second chance, because for whatever reason, I wasn't done yet. Unfortunately so... He decided to call you back home.
I'll never forget your impact on my life. Nick [Edited 6/26/09 11:12am] | |

I doubt Price will make any type of comment. Its true, he is not required to say anything. It just wouuld be nice to hear a word or 2. Maybe at some point down the road he will say something OR put up an image or something on his website, to reflect his response.
In any case....i heard MJ has about 100 songs that he recorded for his kids. They r not intended for public use but considering debts, these may hit the public ear soon. On another note any1 know why the corners office would want to inspect his (MJ's) car? And where is this missing Dr. who was with him when all this happened? [Edited 6/26/09 11:12am] | |

Not technically speaking a fan, but certainly appreciative of his talent and pioneering spirit from early on.
Feeling a little stunned... I started to feel sick and dizzy reading about the news of his death on cnn.com last night, especially as I started to read the special medical info on heart attacks, cardiac arrests and strokes [how to differentiate them] they had posted next to the main story. I couldn't help imagine how he must have felt at the time, all alone in his home. Reading about the warning signs and symptoms on cnn, I had the impression that I was starting to feel some of them, my head started spinning and my right arm went numb. Before I could reach my bed to lie down, I collapsed and went crashing my head against the furniture and radiator. I have now this big blue bump on my forehead and pain in my neck and arm. I never thought I would physically react like this to the news of his death... But on a note more to the point: he is one of the true global icons. And we know these are immortal... I wish him peace wherever he is now.  [Edited 6/26/09 11:22am] | |

Cinnie said: I was too shocked to post yesterday (on Part 1).
On the radio here, there was a station that had just switched their format to dance music last weekend... and they had an awesome (live?) DJ mix tribute, and they were blending the songs together sweetly. All of the hype dance songs of MJ's or "Jacksons" where Michael sang lead. I'm pretty sure this was the order I heard it. I was driving. "The Way You Make Me Feel" "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground" "Thriller".. somehow the bassline and drums slipped perfectly underneath the chorus of "Shake Your Body" "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" cool to hear the chorus of "Thriller" over this.. made me feel some joy "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" This one just sorta fit tempowise "Pretty Young Thing" opening chords of PYT fit underneath the "mama say mama sa" chant The mix continued, but this was part of my memories of June 25, 2009.
It actually really helps listening to his music... but the context of the events make it bittersweet. It's funny that you mention it because I was planning on making my own Michael Jackson/Jacksons mix this weekend like I did when Rick James passed. As for the "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" chant, I had thought about blending "PYT" also. I have the ultimix records remix of it that has a long drum intro that would work really well or maybe even the song "Jam". I wanted to make a mix last night but I like to wait until the weekend because I mix better when I'm drinking.

You really don't apperciate people until they are gone and that is certainly the case with Michael. Friends are talking about how MTV is (and VH1 was) playing his videos. I've been listening to the radio stations discuss and play Michael on Sirius (although it would be nice to have just one station playing nothing but MJ and the Jacksons right now).
I try not to think of the negative and right now am just enjoying the gifts of his music (and all that came with it including videos and performances). | |

A cardiologist was living with Michael Jackson
http://splashnewsonline.c...pdate.html Update: A medical assistant at the Acres Home Heart and Vascular Institute confirms that a doctor from there was one of Jackson's physicians.
She said Dr. Conrad Robert Murray, a cardiologist licensed to practice medicine in Texas, was living with Michael Jackson at his rented Holmby Hills mansion. Contrary to reports, Michael Jackson's doctor is NOT missing. Police have already interviewed the doctor that was present at the time of Jackson's death, they just need to interview he doctor further. According to LAPD spokesperson Officer Karen Rayner, '[the doctor] is not a missing person. He just needs to be interviewed further and that hasn't happened yet." The doctor's BMW was impounded because, "it contains potential information, medications, or other evidence." At the coroner's office, Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, who has handled the high-profile O.J. Simpson and Phil Specter murder cases, was conducting the autopsy, which should take several hours, according to Ed Winter, chief of investigations for the coroner's office. Given allegations of possible prescription drug abuse by the entertainer, a final determination of the cause of death will likely have to await toxicology tests, which can take days or weeks. | |
