Diana Ross, the face of Motown soul and the lead singer of The Supremes, is mourning over the death of Michael Jackson. Ross starred alongside Michael Jackson in the ground-breaking film, The Wiz, a remake of The Wizard of Oz featuring an entirely African-American cast.
"I can't stop crying, this is too sudden and shocking," Ross says in a statement. "I am unable to imagine this. My heart is hurting. I am in prayer for his kids and the family."
Diana Ross is just one of the many celebrities reeling from the shocking death of Michael Jackson.

Now I understand what is meant by the line in the song "The Day The Music Died". Rest IN Peace Michael!!!

If it was true that Michael was into little boys don't you think that he would have been into more that just two. He would have been doing all kinds of boys, black, white, hispanics, asian, etc. And he would have been on trial more than just two times. Why have we as what was wrong with the parents of these children. If it were about getting justice for their children there wouldn't have been enough money in the world to stop them from making sure he went to prison. And if they knew he had a rep for doing little boys, why did they keep senting their kids to his home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You people are being so disrepectful to his family, ur the ones that are pityful. What if it were a member of your family. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL THE WORLD LOVES YOU NOT ONLY IN LIFE BUT ALSO IN DEATH
at 01:56 on July 3rd, 2009
Do you really think these were the only 2?
Most of the families just wanted to put it behind them and it was clear they couldn't afford to get justice.
We may here more now he's dead. Examining Jackson's life it much like turning over a stone, but a lot less pleasant.
The reason that people kept sending children to his home is that they were like you: abuse deniers - it's extremely dangerous and niaive.
at 07:23 on July 3rd, 2009
What about all the "sick children" that were bused in to Neverland. Do you really think they wern't abused too? Why else were they there? They never had any resources to make a complaint. Michael deliberately preyed on the most vulnerable. I found the way he got children drunk on wine which he called "jesus juice" so he could get them into bed appalling.

I cnt beleive hes goneee:(
sure thinq gonna miss him Rest easy Michael Jackson
got to admitt you were so hot wen you were young ;) lols
loveyah
My love goes out to his kids & family/friendss:(
at 06:47 on July 3rd, 2009
He didn't have any friends - he was Michael Jackson.
at 15:33 on July 5th, 2009
Actually he did have 2 friends: a monkey and a spoon bender (another con artist).
at 08:46 on July 3rd, 2009
WOW...I can only say, let it go and let the gloved one be buried in peace. Speculation, insinuation, consternsation, etc., serves what point at this time. There is a family in morning...regardless to their overall relationship, there is still a family that needs to bury their son, uncle, brother,etc. Let them do it with some type of dignity!
at 08:51 on July 3rd, 2009
I meant family in "mourning"...forgive my typo and let the music of MJ continue to play!
at 09:03 on July 3rd, 2009
I completely agree thank you x
at 13:07 on July 3rd, 2009
It is so sad how we all wants to believe the worst in others. First, we dont know whether he bleached his skin or it was a skin disease he had. Speculation is based on what we heard and saw in the media! I believe, whatever the case, it is not relevant. We all have done things to our body, so why judge!!! Jesus said those without sin cast the first stone!! Yes he changed his lips and other facial parts, but why are we judging a man based on his physical appearance. What about who he was? His personality? His hardwork and determination? Obviously, the man had many issues, and mental pain. We dont know his thoughts, sleepless nights or the pain he went through. There must be a reason why he had to do such a dramatic change.....
The fact is that he is now dead, so let the man's name rest in peace. What ever life he had lived, whether on stage or behind close door. He will be judge!! Persons who contantly believe and talk the worst about him, remember that your time will come. You all have skelleton in your closets, and have done unspeakerable things to your body. Let is family mourn in peace, hey knew him the BEST!!!

Kym,
I'm a little older than Michael. I've been here the whole time - I can tell you he did have vitiligo and lupus. Hence the umbrella because of sensitivity to sunlight and the lupus can cause problems in the extremities which may be why he used the tape on his fingers for a spell. These were not excentricites or fashion statements but related to health issues. Hope this helps.
Peace

Why would people that hate Michael Jackson so much, who say some of the most awful things about him want to come on a web-site dedicated to his lagacy, memories, prayers and well wishes?It is beyond me.I don't know about the rest of you but I only seek out things on the net that I am intrested in or love
My heart goes out to Michaels family and friends. He was one of the best artists of our time and will be remembered and missed for a very, very long time. God Bless you MJ may you rest in peace.
at 03:06 on July 5th, 2009
I think you've come to the wrong place. This is a website to post and discuss new stories - it is in no way a website dedicated to the legacy, memories, prayers and well wishes for Michael Jackson (I would not be here if it was). To discuss stories we need different points of veiw, don't be upser by veiws that are different from your own. The site would not attract anyone if everyone posted the same kind of comments.
at 12:51 on July 5th, 2009
I agree with Sheri 100%. If I were to meet him, I would never ask ridiculous questions as "How many surgeries have u done?", "Are you really bleaching your skin?" ' The first thing I would say would be " Thank you for creating sucha great music, that me and family can enjoy it and 1000000000000000 ppl around the world". I've never believed the Media anyway, I've always belived M.J, cause there's no reason for him to lie, he was already hurt enough by the stupid ppl. Sometimes human being can be really scary. When I looked at M.J I only saw whats was inside of him, the music. I really hope that he's in a better place. I'm somehow glad he left this ugly world ahead of us. May GOD forgive you for everything.

MJ HAS HELP MORE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAN YOU HATERS HAVE FRIENDS.
SING FOR THE LORD MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON

I believe michael was a child himself that never grew up and enjoyed and felt more comfortable in the company of kids than adults, trying to recapture his lost youth. I dont believe for a second he had it in him to sexually abuse anyone, he was compassionate and loving and the world would be a better place with more people like him in it rather than cynical, ignorant people that choose to always think the worst of people with NO evidence. I have always and will always stick up for Michael, I believe he had BDD where you look at yourself in the mirror and have a very distorted image of yourself, I dont think he was ultimately happy with what he saw in the mirror despite all the surgery. He was a great entertainer and loving, fragile human being, may he rest in peace.
at 20:05 on July 7th, 2009
why did you not show up for him? show or no show he was your friend
at 20:43 on July 7th, 2009
I am a Pakistani.I absolutely adored Mj as a Performer.He is a complete music entity and greatest singer ever lived on the face of earth.Love u Jacky.

I cried and cried through the entire memorial service.
And, I too ask the questions:
WHERE WERE ALL THESE SO CALLED F-R-I-E-N-D-S WHEN MICHEAL NEEDED THEM?
WHERE WERE ALL THESE SO CALLED F-R-I-E-N-D-S WHEN:
- WHEN HE WAS DYING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES?
- WHEN HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION TO PAIN KILLING DRUGS?
- WHEN HE WAS BEING PERSECUTED?
HE WAS ONE OF THEIR OWN.
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER THEN IN PUBLIC SUPPORT OF ONE OF THEIR OWN?
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER AND FIGHT TO SAVE ONE OF THEIR OWN?
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER AND HELP ONE OF THEIR OWN FIND A WAY TO LIVE WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HIS UNIQUE SITUATION?
THIS IS WHY I CRIED AND CRIED AND CRIED. I FEEL SUCH RAGE TOWARDS THESE PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED THEY WERE SUCH GREAT F-R-I-E-N-D-S - BUT WERE NOT THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE NEEDED THEM.
I BELIEVE THE TRUTH IS THAT MICHAEL DID NOT HAVE ANYONE HE COULD REALLY CALL ON.
I BELIEVE THE TRUTH IS THAT HE DID NOT HAVE C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y, A GROUP WITHIN WHICH HE COULD SIT IN ACCEPTANCE, LOVE, PRAISE, CARE AND PEACE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I FEEL SUCH RAGE TOWARDS ALL THOSE HYPOCRITES WHO SHUNNED HIM IN LIFE AND YESTERDAY HAD THE AUDACITY TO STAND BEFORE THE WORLD AND CALL THEMSELVES HIS FRIENDS.
I AM GLAD MICHEAL IS WITH GOD NOW. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
WE LOVE YOU, MICHAEL.
YOU MEANT SO MUCH TO US.

what was the song that mj wrote for diana ross?
at 10:05 on July 16th, 2009
It was Dirty Diana - a bit of an insult really.

Michael was innocent. one of the kid who framed him has declayared that he and his father wanted to mooch of him.. this was in the news ...... Jordan Chandler Admits He Lied About Michael Jackson.
at 08:42 on July 20th, 2009
Oh Oh poopy poopy poop stick already!!!!! Get you Bomp on baby boo...and quit the poopy -poo.....
at 13:59 on July 20th, 2009
I agree with everything positive said about michael jackson..
he was innocent, i believe that with my whole heart.
but please oh please DO NOT turn this into a racism thing.
that white people were angry with him because a black man succeeded in the music industry.
thats false. because I am white and i dont think that, a lot of people i know are white and love him
please don't turn this into a colour thing. becausein my opinion it wasn't.
The Beatles and Elvis and Michael Jackson are all legends for the whole different reasons. and nothing can take that away from them. its that simple and its nothing to do with colour
at 15:22 on July 25th, 2009
Oh my god.. poor Diana, she was a really good friend of Michael. I feel really sorry for her, I understand her, I was crying for 2 days when I had noticed the bad new :( it's really sad, I cannot still believe it. Michael you are and you will be the BEST!!! Rest Finally In Peace, you are not just the king of pop, you are the King of the souls who loves you...and you will be!!! I love you Michael.

That's right . So what, he had plastic surgery. Michael fell off a stage, broke his nose and then it had to be redone. There's plenty of documented pictures of his skin conditions too. I think a lot of the ugly comments come from young adults that are so brainwashed by the media that they can't think for themselves, don't know the facts, and older people envious of all the adoration for Michael [That's called the "dumbing down of America"] To all you Michael lovers, I say if you can love, more power to you. So many hateful people in the world.
Let's talk about Joan Rivers - my goodness - do you see all this fuss about her surgeries - of course not. Joan Rivers is vicious. And just imagine...She has taught that to her own daughter. It's kind people the mediocre segment of society go after. It is not okay to be mediocre. So all you people still watching the "Simpons" or Beavis and Butt Head - are they still in reruns? Get your head out of your a** before it's so far up there you can't get it out. Read a book. Expand your mind. It's not painful. I assure you, you will be amazed at the things you didn't know, you didn't know.
Peace \/

To those people who want thrive on writing negative thoughts on Michael Jackson it's just jealously that allows you to rag on him. He was the most sweetest man and had a heart of gold. as for him molesting a child the idea is really absurd after all he has done for children across the world. You don't become a pedpohole after those kind acts. This man has been abused enough and now even in the wake of his death you cannot keep your mouths shut. The media needs to get the abuse that they gave to really know how wrong they were. Making money off of lies does not sketch a pretty picture of them. I personally believe that the media is trash and should be banned from being aloud to air lies about celebrities.
Michael Jackson is an angel now and the lord will reward him for the good he has done on earth, which I have not seen anyone else do. So put your fortune where your mouth is and start being more compassionate for the less fortunate. Michael Jackson was a beautiful person, we all should follow his example of sending that message of helping where we can.
Michael Jackson rest in peace you will always be in my prayers and in my heart!
For those simpleminded people who cannot get past the lies you need to pray for forgiveness of such a dirty crime that you commit everytime you bad mouth Michael Jackson.
Do not talk trash about an Angel it is a sin!
Rest in peace Michael Jackson! I love you!
