I grew up with Michael jackson, I am a year older than him. I have watch him grow to be an ICON of an entertainer. MJ will always be the talk good or bad, for the bad, he's not here to defend himself. I just wish they media and all these bad people wouldleave him alone and let him rest in peace. I will always love Michael Jackson forever and ever

I love the man. His influence changed my life profoundly for the better. I blasted "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" on my car stereo all day.

His kindness was legend among those who met and knew him.

Michael, you were (and always will remain) magic.

Thamk you.
