I dnt believe that he would do anything wrong to hurt anyone or annthing…… because he loved and cherished everything…. even the least things we look over in life…… R.I.P king of pop you are missed dearly
SINCERELY,
A FAN!!!
I am only 16 years old and Michael Jackson has had such a tremendous influential impact on me.It is not just his beautiful music that impacted me.It’s him. Him just being a human being.Who had a heart as big as the world, that loved him so very very very much.I did not take his death lightly and I’m jusy now starting to get used to the fact that he is gone.But I will never ever ever ever stop loving THE ONE, THE ONLY: MICHAEL JACKSON!
I was watching your movie on Sunday, July 26 and at the end of the movie you announced the date of his death as July 26, 2009 instead of June 25, 2009.
The King The World’s Best Entertainer of All Times is Michael Jackson! Michael was such a missed understood and one who didn’t really understand himself. He appeared to be a wonderful loving and gentle soul.Whom others tried to take advantage of because they thought he was weak. Michael appeared to love the Lord.Michael u can rest now no more pulling,no more beggers, no more being misundersood,no more being let down. U are with someone who will never let u down JESUS!
Michael Jackson was the best entertainer of all time i absolutely miss him. i loved how he put all he felt into his songs, dancingm and performing. he is a truly inspirational person who loved everyone. i cant listen to one of his songs without smiling. he was an icon that will truly be missed. i love you michael and i will never forget you.
michael jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time his influnced by since i was a baby his legacy will live on forever.
I’m glad TVOne is celebrating Michael’s life and legacy. He broke every barrier that one could break and although he’s gone from this earth, he’ll never be forgotten. Michael, your fans will make sure that your legacy lives on forever (I want my kids and my grandkids to know what a profound impact Michael and his music, his charity had on my life). Michael, we’ll never forget you and always love you!
I remeber when michael performed billie jean at the grammy’s it was so phenominal. He has been a big influence to me. Man iam a writer if I had 10% his talent wow. No one will ever be able to compete with him. rip michael god bless.
What a profound sadness I have. I am soon to be 48 years old, and Michael Jackson has been apart of my life since I was 8. I was blessed to be the class mate of contestant number two when Michael was on the dating game, blessed to be front and center in my aunt’s living room for Motown 25, and blessed to attend the memorial. My heart still aches and I pray the best for his family. I thank them for sharing his memorial with the public. The district attorney and the media persecuted Michael, and now they are trying to find the people responsible for his death. What hypocrisy, look in the mirror, and you will find the killer. We have lost the greatest humanitarian, and entertainer of all time. I will always love Michael Jackson, and he will truly remain in my heart. P.S. There is not a day that goes by that I just want someone to say, “not for real”.
michael jackson has been a huge impact in my life through out my 11 years of life his confidence has shown that each time the press has said a lie about him he could care less because he knows the truth behind the lie the press has made. i remember from the documentry in 2002-2003 fans were outside chanting “f” the press michael your the best and i remember during that same documentry he was saying how horrible his childhood was and he would never want that for his kids. when michael died i went into a deep depression i cried for 4 nights from that thursday to sunday but michael is still the only person i talk about.
Michael Jackson was the best entertainer of all time…I can’t believe he’s not with us anymore. He had a such gentle and kind soul, which people took so much advantage of that…Michael u are and will be a legend forever ….Fans of MJ from Pakistan!!!!!!!RIP we miss u soo much Michael…I start crying whenever i listen to that song YOU ARE NOT ALONE…TV ONE is doing gr8 on remembering MJ.
Michael Jackson will be incredibly missed. I guess i never realized how much i missed him until he was gone.

MICHAEL JACKSON YOU ARE MY CHILDHOOD HERO. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, HOW COULD I? YOU PERMEATED EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING FROM MY EARS TO MY EYES TO MY VOICE TO MY FEET! YOU WERE TOO PRECIOUS FOR THIS EARTH. YOUR DEATH HAS LEFT ME IN TEARS. WHEREVER THERE IS DANCE, WHEREVER THERE IS SONG, WHEREVER CHILDREN LAUGH, WHEREVER PEOPLE GATHER AS ONE, I WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE SOMEWHERE NEAR BRINGING US TOGETHER ALL OVER AGAIN. THANK YOU!
Michael i can’t even believe you are gone, you are better on the other side, I miss you a lot, this world didn’t know how to appreciate what you brought to it, the media was always ready to bring you down, but rarely spoke of the wonders you did all over the world~~~RIP MICHAEL JACKSON, KING OF POP!!!!!!
To Michael Jackson
My Poem I made up for Michael Jackson.
This peom is from Michael’s perspective
(screams fom the crowd in the background)
I love my fans so much
I knew through my music many I touched
They love me
They care for me
They adore me
But unfortunately there are some that hated me
They see my skin change, my
nose and they send their judgements
They never try to see what I am in the inside
I tried and tried day by day not to listen to what others had to say
Heck, what do they know about me anyway?
I am not “wacko jacko”
I am Micheal Joseph Jackson
I don’t molest children
I embrace them
I am not an horrible person
I am a shy,nice,considerate person.
Oh, how I wanted a normal childhood
Unlike the outside in my household things were not all that good
The hurt and the pain I endured no one could have understood
Man I couldn’t wait until I could get on the road again
I rehearsed and planned the things that would blow my fans out of the water
Unfortunately that never happend………………
Well I guess you are wondering am I having a good time?
I am having a blast up here I wish you could see
The big pearly gates,wonderful fluffy clouds,all the beautiful angels dressed with white and gold
The loud lovely melodies the angels sing every day,God sitting on the throne with Jesus sitting on his right
Oh, oh did I mention the streets are made of gold?
After God said well done to me I screamed my famous line “Hehehe”
I am in so much peace that’s why I don’t want people crying about me!
I never planned to leave,never wanted to leave my fans
I tried to stay,stay the best that I could, but then this man in all white grabbed my hand
He told me it’s time to go
Then finally I decided to gone head and go
I was flying,I was flying leaving my body behind
I flew through the thick pretty clouds
Jesus was taking me away to my new home among high
Oh no dont cry for me,I am at peace
I love you and I know you love me
Lastly, I say goodbye
Goodbye to all of my fans
To my family
And to all that loved me….
With love, Micheal Jackson
P.S. Just for the record I wrote this in heaven
And I am waiting up here for you!
I feel Michael Jackson everyday! It’s still so hard to believe that he is gone. I truly believe that even posthumously Michael continues to give and open everyone’s eyes to both love and opportunities.
This is why I believe michael jackson will save the economy!

love and miss you Michael, thank you for the memories and thank you for MY childhood.
Im only 14,and he had an impact on me,at such a young age. How he danced, to the way he tried to make the world a better place.I love his music,and he will live forever.
I have been watching the Michael Jackson week on TVone and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how ya’ll got Michael’s death date wrong!! Specifically, on the 1 hour MJ show that includes interviews with Gladys Knight and commentaries made by his sister Latayo, at the end of the show, the moderator says Michael Jackson died on Thursday, JULY 26. NO…he died on Thursday, JUNE 25. Please change this before the show comes on again!!! Thanks
Well where do I begin? Well I’m 16 years old and I am completely in love with Michael Jackson and I am still coping with the fact that he is gone. I cry all the time when I listen to his music or watch his movie or see him perform on television. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person as I have always wished but it still felt as if he was a big brother of mine. He is also a big influence on me and a big part of me because like him I am trying to be a famous singer and influence the lives of many people as he did. I LOVE MJ WITH ALL OF MY HEART!!! AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON THROUGH ME, WHEN I PURSUE MY DREAM!!!!
WITH MUCH LOVE,
Jaynesia S. (A TRUE MICHAEL JACKSON FAN

Michael Jackson is someone I will always love and miss. He was a “member of the family” to millions, a Sexy Man-Child when young, exuding an innocence that was so enduring & compelling. Michael’s vocals are like no other.
When you listen/read his lyrics you feel the passion & emotion he felt. You get a sense that he is singing through and about his experiences and dreams of a better world. We, his fans, loved him yet made a normal life impossible for him. We kept him from being able to do the simple things we take for granted. I don’t believe he resented this; it made him lead a very lonely life,however.
I hear the loneliness & need in his songs: “Who Is It’” “You Are Not Alone,” & “Will You Be There” to name a few. In “Childhood” he wrote,”Before you judge me, try hard to love me.” I blame the media in part & we the fans for taking, taking. But we just wanted a part of him, to “be” with him. My heart has been aching since 6/25. An empty tightness spreads in my chest & I cry every time I think about how he is no longer here. My 17 yr old son said after viewing some of Michael’s videos, “He was a gift from God sent here to us.” I couldn’t have said it better.
I miss Michael so much. I am so sorry that it took his death to make some people realize just what a wonderful person he was. I will miss him the rest of my life. I am still so sad and wishing he was not gone. I just know he is in a better place, and no longer has to worry about what the press says.
RIP Michael I love you.
Michael was a man who touched our hearts – he gave so much of himself to his fans around the world with his words and music and dance – His sensitive nature was so often misunderstood and the media did not give him a moment of peace –
None of us can control the passage of time nor our own destinies or the destiny of those we love – but those who live in our hearts will remain forever and we are so blessed to have known the gift of Michael’s talent and generosity. I know his spirit lives on and he is no longer lonely or in pain.
Ever since I could remember Micheal was everything to me. He still is. I will continue to keep him alive. His spirit lives on. Again I want to thank TVOne for their support in keeping his legacy. I am very grateful, thank you so much this means alot to me.
Im only 11.
I LUV U MJJ

My love for Michael Jackson is uncondtional. I didn’t believe none of the hype when he was alive and I still don’t it believe now. It hurts me now that he has gone away from this earth because our birthdays are in the same month and we are a week apart. Michael had suffered alot of mistreatment when he was alive and it seems that now he is gone he has more stuff to deal with. I know I am only fourteen and I wasn’t alive when he made the majority of his contributions to american pop culture and the way we dress, but knowing him as an artist showed that even though times have change and his facial appearence had changed he made us want to love and for that he will always be the King Of Pop to me and forever be the greatest entertainer in the world live and dead.
Michael Jackson was the best and still is no matter what. god has taken him home because people couldn’t see he was a true angle, and we took advantage of him while we had him, and now he is gone we wish he wasn’t. Also I’m sick and tired of people talking about him when he was alive and now that he is gone the ones who hated him love him. I guess the saying you don’t know how much you love something until it’s gone speaks for thise types of people. Love you forever Michael I will always stand by your name. this coming from a fourteen year old
Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer of all time. Back to the beginning from his childhood,”The Jackson 5″, with his brothers and then on his own as a solo performer.Yes, Michael Jackson was truly a gift from God. He was blessed with a talent that people envied with jealousy. He suffered alot from the media and people’s ignorance. Of course, Michael Jackson might have had issues or problems, but that did not affected him when it came to caring for others. He was a troubled person that wanted people to love him and respect him as a person. He was a human being like every one else on this earth and did not deserved that type of disrespect. He gave love to all his fans and to kids in need with his charitable contributions, but no one gave back to him. It is very sad that he is gone due to all this hatred on this earth. Michal Jackson was to good of a person for this ugly world and the world did not deserved him. The world is just gone to hell. Michael Jackson tried to make this world a better place for kids and everybody, but instead of people rejoicing, they wanted to ignore his messages. The world has lost a talented, gifted, and passionate entertainer around. There will never be another Michael Jackson. He was one of a kind. Michael Jackson will always be the greatest entertainer around, dead or alive, and no other performer will ever show that type of compassion and caring the way Michael Jackson did towards his fans and others. RIP MJ. No one will measure up to you in the music industry. God bless you.
