None of the dead presidents had as worldwide acclaim, or had such a positive effect on as many people. Princess Diana did have a monumental world-wide celebration, in case you forgot, and did it without being able to dance or sing.

Dr. King? "White" people hated him, as evidenced by the fact that one of them killed him, so now even though your comment about Jackson's ethnic heritage shows clearly that even in this modern age you still oppose everything Dr. King stood for and died for, you dare invoke his name? You are not worthy of typing his name, let alone use it in your spew.

Einstein? Again, there was no internet, even television was not world-wide in scope at that time, and even you cannot seem to understand that his work, like Jackson's, will live on in history.

As for how he became super-famous, he did it by combining innovative dance with the musical talents of America's most gifted composers and producers, Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder.

Getting back to his ethnic heritage, that bit of irrelevant info must really be at the core of what has moved you to such hostility, I would pity you, except that such people are not worth it.

I'll be glad when they mercifully bury this plastic white lady, so we can finally quit hearing about it!

People are dying for their freedom in Iran, our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, our state governments are financially imploding, and ALL that the media cares about is this idiot?!?!

To ALL news organizations: Get a grip, grow up, and start reporting on the stuff that ACTUALLY MATTERS!!

When most of the planet's population can say they have been entertained, inspired, or otherwise positively influenced by dead US soldiers, or or by Sarah Palin, then they would probably receive similar coverage.

Aww wassa matter, widdle neo can't handle a world-wide outpouring of celebration for the cultural contributions of a "Bwack" man? Are we jeawous?

Guess what, when most of the world says one thing, and you say the opposite, you are the one in the wrong.

In this case the world's priorities are correct, I'll take any celebration of dance and music over the celebration of death and neo intolerance any and every day.

Pull your head out blind person, he was a drug addicted child molester and the last 15 years of his life was disgusting. He should have been in prison for molesting young boys but paid off his victims families.
What the hell does Elvis have to do with Jackson? This was a completely different time and place plus your info is way off.He will burn for his crimes.

TryTakingMyMoney: Please, do you really want the rest of us to believe that someone with your level of "intelligence" has any money? You are an ignorant fool who is spouting hate and nonsense. And you can't spell either. Get off your mom's computer and find a job or a hobby.
