Well, how very judgmental of you and how very elitist. Why, you could be a member of our democratic party. Now, I for one, have traveled and lived "out of the state I live" and find, for the most part, European's to be rather snobbish, lazy, judgmental and down right rude.
So, that being said, please tell me just what "meaningful causes" jackson fought for? See, entertainers do just that, they entertain. Any thing they do is pretty much for money.
As for slamming us for having the AUDACITY to try and put things in perspective regarding this media circus and bringing up our military. Well, to travel a road that you won't like, if it weren't for our military just how do you think you life and country would be doing at this point in time.
And, most of us "do get how great our country is" but most of us think that this media driven circus is obscene. Something you people don't get.
Now, keep sitting at your sidewalk cafe, sip your coffee in the day time and your wine at night. Talk about the "provincial Americans" to make yourselves feel superior.

MJ did bring peace to this world in his own way, thru his music. I see a lot of people on this post who have a lot of negative things to say about MJ, why? you have had years to make fun of him. We laughed at him, we poked fun at him, we make fun of his lifestyle. ENOUGH!!!!! THE MAN IS DEAD !!!!!! let him have in death what we refused to give him in life, respect and dignity.

UGLY NASTY MEAN SPIRITED PEOPLE. Most of the blogs show this. Someone on this blog wants PUBLIC GRIEVING to be illegal? WOW! Most of you are haters. Probably bible thumping haters. The worst kind of hate because it's righteous indignation. PUTZes all.

The ***** is dead leave this worthless story!

Did I misunderstand? Was this really Abraham Lincon who died, not some singer/dancer with mental health problems and a propensity to sleep with little boys? ENOUGH of this sickening Hype. If his parents really wanted "privacy" you guys are violating their wishes with each of these increasingly silly stories. Didn't anything of value happen in the entire world yesterday or have you reporters just decided to take an extended July 4th Holiday. Put it to rest, for both those who loved this guy AND those who loathed him.

Leave the Michael Jackson people alone, if they want to worship a drug taking alcoholic pedophile as their god that's their right.

First was Diana, the floosie. Now Michael Jackson,the pedophile. I am not sure which one of them was worse. Media is playing to the hilt catering for the sick population. However, I am glad both Michael and Diana are gone.

Interesting to see the prominence of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile".
Chaplin was another vilified superstar driven into exile on morals charges.
Coincidence ?

MJ was the master of live entertainment.

Here is where he truly became an ultrastar in 1983 with his performance of Billie Jean:

And here is a much refined performance of the same song many years later. Absolute brilliance in 2001:
