I see the trolls are out in full force.

I pity you, trying to rain on the parade of the millions grieving for one of the greatest entertainers and humanitarians that ever lived.

I'll be watching "Moonwalker" and talking to friends who are also fellow fans today and grieving together. I knew today would be hard... but I just woke up feeling numb all over. Sigh.

Now, now... don't feed the trolls---if they had half a brain in their heads, they'd ask questions instead of paying attention to tabloids and trying to spread gossip and lies. Maybe even do a little research on their own to see what an amazing humanitarian and conservationist we lost -- one who it is estimated gave about $300 million of his own money away to help other ppl and charities all around the world [and that's just before he died; his will provides even more to charities], one who tried to get ppl to realize - and stop - the harm we're doing to our planet and various animal species.

And, feel pity for them ~ what sad, pathetic creatures they must be to purposely come here and post BS like that in an attempt to hurt others.

Michael Jackson's legacy is one of love--and positivity. They can say what they like; we know better.

and if they get really stupid, that's what the "report post to Mod" link is for...

This is on repeat as of now! This almost kicks the original's ass...may I also add they did this version on the Flip Wilson show.

We can all take the day to celebrate the lives of the millions of fathers who work hard to put food in their kids' tables at the end of the day. Take the day to celebrate the lives of the millions of workers who are constanly repressed by their superiors. Take the day to appreciate the people who make sacrifices to help others.

This, instead of celebrating the life of Michael Jackson, would be much more reasonable. Sure, he had a bit of talent- he could sing and dance well though there are millions just as good- but why celebrate the life of a man who spent a billion dollars on himself and who was a complete freak?

Let's not make idols of people who aren't idol material.

I'm all for your feelings about the workers and fathers etc.., but see what you're saying about mike as just bait. Maybe if Mike had been more selfish he wouldn't have been in a financial bind at the time of his death having given generously to many causes and people. He should have just kept ever cent fuck the burn center he founded, the proceeds of one of the biggest tours ever going to charity, he should have just been more selfish.

As for me, two years ago I learned alot. I learned how much I could love someone I never met, I learned to watch my tongue and not say meanspirited things for a quick joke even though the subject will never hear it. I learned to think and hope positive for people because you never know when they'll be gone. When they are gone they are gone forever.

I think that MOL has DID. We don't which personality we are, currently, speaking with so it's best to not speak to any of them for the meantime.

A Million Trees for Michael

THIS is Michael Jackson.

the translation from French is not 100%, but, you get the gist..

I can't believe it's been 2 years. I will always remember where I was that day and the complete state of shock I was in for the next few weeks after he died. It was so unbelievable and sad. I had loved him so much since I was a kid. When he died, it was just the end of something great. Something tragic, and controversial as well, but something that had touched many people's lives. My one regret is that I never go to see him live . He was and is my favorite artist and I never even got to see him in concert. Since I was 5, I wanted to see him and I was sure I'd get to see him on his "This Is It" tour. I just cannot get over that.

Most of the time I like to think that he has just retired from the business. It's hard for me to really come to grips with what the reality is. I don't want to think of MJ like that.

I'd just like to say on this day Michael, thank you for sharing your talent, life and your beautiful heart and personality with the whole world.

You were one of a kind and no one will ever in a million years be able to replace you in the hearts of fans like myself.

Missing MJ today and always ....

I don't know why she keeps saying that Paris is named after her cause I still can't believe they would be that close, but I want that picture that they showed. Mike looks so cool in it.

BTW except for the Hiltons claiming it, does anyone have any other proof of Mike being really good friends with the Hiltons?

It's the same track (the backing that is.) Mike and Jermaine were supposed to lip sync but they went live.

RIP MJJ. Much love.

And a goodbye to the org from me.

I think Paris Hilton's mum, Kathy Hilton went to the same highschool as MJ. Paris and Kathy Hilton were on CNN Piers Morgan a couple weeks ago or so and they briefly talked about Michael. Kathy said Michael was her dear friend and a powerful person..hmm

Anyway I don't know if I believe Michael named his daughter after Paris Hilton +_+ Well it's possible he got the idea from her I guess. It was 1998 when Paris Jackson was born and Paris Hilton was not famous at all...

Yeah, I know. I've just watched the show. Anyway, I think I believe what Debbie said. That Paris was named after the city she was concieved in, which seem very likely to me, cause Mike was at a European tour back then and we know they would meet there. For some reason, Debbie seems to be more trustworthy than Paris Hilton who is way to much attention-needy person.

THE LIFE AND LONGING OF MICHAEL JACKSON: 2 YEARS TODAY...

Written by me!

Whew! Those two years have passed by so swiftly. I can still feel the shakes and anxiety I experienced when getting that call from my mother, informing me that Mike was hospitalized and turning on CBS to see the drama unfold. We had just lost Farrah Fawcett that same day and something was in the air. I knew it. Just something that I will never forget. It was as if someone was playing a sick joke or I was in some kind of weird nightmare. When it was confirmed that he died, I was just mortified, shocked, paranoid and frightened. Seeing the hundreds of people cluttered at the UCLA Medical Center is an image that will never escape my conciousness. My mind went blank at that moment and that whole rest of the day. I couldn't eat, watch any special or news broadcast involving his sudden death, or listen to music. That day was just...a wild circus! Seeing the helicopter taking off with his body to arrive at the coroner's officers was just sickening and sad. All this didn't hit me until the night of June 26th, when watching the "Gone Too Soon" and "Liberian Girl" videos and just thinking about how much this man was really L-O-V-E-D.

Outside of all of the drama and controversy that has surrounded his untimely death and its aftermath, it is important that Michael's music and impact is prevelant in the culture we live in today. Nonetheless, we must also utilize Michael as the true example of a complex genius as well as multi-faceted man, who lived life on his terms without a care. Sure, there were perplexing moments in his life that caused him to be mythologized, maligned and unfairly scrutinized, but Michael was deep. Deep not only in his many talents, but his character as well. His soul, giving spirit and courage was abundant and it all derived from the spirit and hope of his own upbringing. The hardwork and commitment of the Jackson Family fueled a whole new movement in American culture and Michael, along with his parents and siblings, did their best to show the world how there is indeed light at the end of any tunnel.

The hidden links in Michael's enduring musical legacy lies tales and messages of desire, struggle, justice, joys and sorrows. These stories must've been among the culmination of Michael's own personal life, as it was filled with a myriad of pride and devastation. Amazingly, these songs are the only real stories that have accurately told the truth on the many dimensions of Michael Joseph Jackson. His defining voice and remarkable talents as a performer, songwriter, producer, musician and dancer were filled with careful skill and unmatchable virtuoso, which echoed the best of other icons such as Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Charles "Cholly" Atkins before him. The fiery and perfection of Michael's talent was towering, but his sweeping career, which lasted four decades, proved that there was something more. Vision and dedication was among the many reasons as to why it all stood strong.

The legacy of Michael Joseph Jackson is simply this: endurance, pride and willingness. If one takes the time to listen to his entire catalog, from the earliest Steeltown recordings to the last full-length of his career, Invincible, there lies the journey of a legend. We will miss Michael! I salute you as a man and living testimony of what a human being should be. Furthermore, thank you for everything!

I love seeing things like this. Just shows the haters, the man was more than just an incredible artist, ya know?

Beautiful, silverchild.

My MJ jewelry...I love you, Michael..

This song--Forever-- is a fitting tribute for Michael performed by Kenny Loggins, who worked with him:

Wonderful job, Brandon!!! <3
