My daughter discovered him about 4 months ago and it was instant love. She's not very happy right now

I could sit and watch him dance for hours.

Seriously, if nobody has it, I can't recommend enough that you get "The Essential Jacksons" c.d. It's got some of the most infectious grooves ever on record including the extended version of "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground". A absolute MUST have!

I've been watching some video's on YouTube tonight of him dancing. He really was just amazing to watch. Many have tried to duplicate his moves, but he could out dance them all.

I finally understood my brother's grief over the passing of John Lennon. I didn't think any celebrity who you do not know personally could bring about such feelings. But when I heard the news today over the radio, I had to pull over to the side of the road and give a good cry.

I love Michael Jackson. I love his artistry, his songs, his dance moves, his music videos, his whacky fashion, and his charity towards children. I know a lot of people believe he is a pedophile but I do not believe that one bit. Not one bit. He is a guy who never grew up. He can relate to a kid's fantasyland more than he can relate to adults. When he talked about having children around the fireplace drinking hot chocolate, I can soooo relate. It is what I used to love to do when I was a kid - just hang around with the other kids around a campfire with our thin blankets and drink hot chocolate and share ghost stories.

In any case, he made a great impact on my growing up years. My favorite MJ song and video: Smooth Criminal

Rest In Peace Michael.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's music, especially in the 80' so his death was sad to hear. My prayers are definitely with his family during this time.

That's a little dark, Church.

It's also entirely possible the kids parents wanted a piece of Michael's money. Tell me: If your kids had been molested, would you have allowed someone to buy their way out of prison time by offering you money?

I sure wouldn't.

Worse, he has never been convicted of any crime. Ever. I'm going to assume you've never sat in on any of the juries for him, so you should probably not condemn a dead man for a crime that he may not have committed. After all, it's not really your job to judge him now.

Sorry. I didn't realize you were one of those star-struck mothers.

YYyyeah. Because only someone star struck would possibly defend a dead man from accusations of paedophilia that he was never actually convicted of.

I must be star struck for saying we shouldn't judge and speak evilly of another person, especially one who was never actually convicted of anything.

Only being star struck could possibly account for that. You know who else must have been star struck.

Jesus. You might have heard of him. Said not to judge people unless you fall under the same judgment. Love your neighbours. The way of eternal life.

It is still shocking to see this happen to Micheal Jackson. I dont think this day will go lightly with two celebrities passing away on the same day.
Anorexia? Where are you getting that?
