A HEARTTHROB:

"As a little girl, my cousins and I lip synced, kicked, and spun, trying to follow the studded bell bottoms of Michael and his brothers. In secret I wrote him letters by the dozens and sat in my room, daydreaming of our fairytale love story.

Just call my name and I’ll be there

Later, I ‘shook my body to the ground’ and grew into adolescence as Michael, the wide eyed cutie with the magical voice, eased out of the Afro on his way to the jheri curl and a solo career." -- Stephane Dunn

A BRAND:

"Jackson almost singlehandedly made MTV a national fixture. In the mid-1980's, young people all over the world adopted his jacketed look and pipestem jeans. "The [King] of Pop" was innovative, seemingly sensitive, and had a keen eye for often unlikely collaborations (such as w/ Paul McCartney). He and the music video grew in tandem. He also fought for Little Richard to be paid fairly for his songwriting royalties, and was a major figure in U.S.A. For Africa ("We Are The World"), long before Madonna and Brangelina's adoptions and Bono's charity work." -- Bijan C. Bayne

A HERO:

I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.” -- Madonna (People.com)

A WORLD FIGURE:

"It was 1989. I was traveling through Cairo during a college semester abroad. I had been mugged near the Pyramids and was having a generally rotten day. From a distance, someone called out, "Hey, soul sister!" I cringed reflexively, prepared to stare down the cat-caller. It was a smiling 12 year-old boy named Mohammed, who grabbed my hand and invited me to his home. I should not have gone. I had just been robbed. But he was a sweet child, and he grinned as he told me he had a horse that he wanted me to see. His home was as modest as they come, a dusty shack with an enclosure on the side that held a dusty brown horse. Mohammed's boyish grin brightened to a full beam. "Michael Jackson!" he exclaimed proudly.

Everything bad that had happened that day receded. I saw no evidence that Mohammed owned anything on which play music, or any posters, or any fan buttons or t-shirts. But that horse was clearly the center of his world, and he wanted desperately for me to know that. Michael Jackson was, quite simply, the most famous black person in the world. And his impact prompted a poor Egyptian boy to take a "soul sister's" hand and make her day. It remains one of my favorite memories of Cairo. One of my favorite travel memories, period." -- Lynette Clemetson

For those of us who loved Michael, and more importantly, know the truth, there is nothing the media has to say that I feel the need to hear. I, and millions of others who have the perception to recognize the manipulation and self-interested bias within the printed and visual media; we did not and still do not blindly follow the line taken by the media ( aided by Tom Sneddon ) regarding Michael Jackson. I am not interested in Nancy Grace, Diane Dimond's, Martin Bashir’s or CNN’s summations of whether or not Michael was ‘black’ or ‘white, ’gay, ‘guilty or ‘wacko.’ Even now, michael is being spoken about in the English and American press as a ‘drug addict' How quickly the media revisions its own part to play in the systematic and unprecedented attack on Michael’s mental and emotional health, the erosion of his rights as a human being and the cultivation of the tangible ‘intent-to harm ’ machine that gew up around Michael in the pursuit of ratings and money. For those of us who love Michael and have had no real outlet to express our feelings, it has been beyond frustrating these past 20 years to witness this unfolding tragedy. Be under no illusion, there are billions of us, and we will not rest until the truth about this peerless, beautiful, rare human being and humanitarian and unparalled artist is known. As Michael said: Lies run sprints, the truth runs marathons.

p.s If you care about Michael, please do NOT buy Ian Halpern’s book. He was exposed years ago as a malicious liar by the journalism industry, and yet again he is distorting the truth about Michael and making money out of him. Please do not support this parasite. Buy Viagra Online

He lived in a world very few of us could understand. I think not having a childhood and the abuse suffered at the hands of his father affected him deeply and very much shaped this tragic figure he turned out to be. I suspect he had a lot of hangers on, probably couldnt trust the adults around him and found solace in being around children, who represented innocence and didnt want anything from him. Cialis

I could never understand the notion of a 40 yr old sharing a bed with children not his own but I also had a very hard time believing he was guilty of what he was accused of. Clearly he needed psychological help but I think there was no one with enough guts to help him get it.
