Michael was not Jesus, but he was send to katy and Jo Jackson like Jesus to Mary and Joseph. I would love his dear friend Diana Ross to pay her official tribute to the late king of pop. According to Michael in his interview, they were so close, and new each other secrets. I believe she have something to say. I would love Katy and all the Jacksons family to just giving her a chance.

There is no one quite like Michael Jackson. He was simply a man who cared deeply for world peace and did so through his music. His legacy will live on.

I'm only 14 years old but I grew up listening to his music, my parents loved Michael's music. I couldn't believe it when my mom told me Michael had passed away. I'm in shock. Michael was and will always be the greatest entertainer ever. He was talented, creative and above all an amazing human being. I miss you so much. Rest in peace, Michael, my thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones.
Ana Paula Marques , Portugal on July 3rd, 2009

Michael You Were Such A Legend, King Of Pop. I Cant Stop Crying. I Wish That This Is Just A Dream But I Know Its Not. You Were A Gentle Man With A Beautiful Soul. People Always Gave You A Hard Time, You Didnt Deserve To Die. I Just Cant Get My Head Around It, A True Angel Has Just Gone, Its Such A Big Loss. I Wish I Could Turn Back Time Just So You Could Be Alive And Be With Us Today. You Will Truly Be Missed, And You Will Always Be In My Heart. Thank You So Much For Everything. You Will Never Be Forgotten. God Bless You. I Hope They Will Finally Let You Rest In Peace, You Deserve It. Remember You Are Not Alone... I Love You... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx R.I.P Angel

Michael, your music, persona and performance has been outstanding throughout. Such raw talent, passion, joy and energy I have yet to see from anyone but you. you have inspired, influenced and uplifted in a way that will remain unsurpassable. I thank you for enriching my life.

Jubaida, Bangladesh on June 28th, 2009
Michael Jackson has taken away the essence of life and youth along with him. There's no joy in the world of entertainment anymore- all seems so fade! He was the soul of entertainment and I'm privileged to at least have been lived in his era.
Ramana, Manchester on June 27th, 2009

Like the way of all mortals, yet it remains another episode of drama with an exceptional scene as you triumphantly take a bow to another Hall of fame in the land beyond. The News of your departure still creeps as a midnight dream too hard for the itching ears to believe and yet the continual chorus of your Name signifies your immense contribution to the world through Music. In Life you were a gem, in death you remain a rare gem and a template of reckon to the coming generation of music. Thank you for giving more than what you took. Adieu Great One. Adieu The King Of Pop Music, Adieu Micheal Jackson

I wish I could rewind time to Wednesday when he was alive! I've loved the Jackson 5 and Michael's music for over 30years and could sing the lyrics to almost evry song word for word. Mike was a visionary and his music was timeless - everything from 30-40 years ago still sounds relevant today and no song is the same. After the tears, I had to just listen to his music to make me smile again...remember "dance and shout - shake ya body down to the ground", "don't stop 'til you get enough", "wanna be starting something", "man in the mirror". I love michael and the legacy he has left in his music. The one good thing to come from his death is that his soul is finally free - he can be happy.
Konnie, London on June 27th, 2009

Afzaa, London on June 26th, 2009
I am totally shocked about this news, it still seems surreal to me. First i took it in but now i still can't believe MICHAEL JACKSON is dead! I just saw him on the telly a couple of months ago, announcing his tour in the O2 arena! it is a big shock to me
Kim, Winschoten on June 26th, 2009
R.I.P MJ, King of Pop
Mandy, UK on June 26th, 2009
not sure whats going on my head and heart just can't take it in... michael has always been part of my life i can tell you exactly what i was doing when the song came out for any MJ song.. his music was magical, inspirational and mind blowingly good i feel a little lost .. i never contemplated a world without Michael Jackson before? am thoroughly gutted, god speed Michael and god bless to all his family
May, Surrey on June 26th, 2009
I was complately shocked when I heard tht Michael Jackson had died and I'm still recovering from it. Just thinking that at some point last night where I was just living life as normal not knowing tht at tht moment, the King Of Pop: Michael Jackson had died. We will remember him and his music forever x
Carly, Uk on June 26th, 2009
I was so shocked from hearig this terraible news last night , and i woke up this morning thinkng it was a dream but as i turned the news on i realised it was real life and i didnt know how to react except from being shocked. i was meant to be ging to his show but he can now unfortunatly not make it although he is in a better place and i pray that he rests in peace. I believe that no one will ever be able to beat his sucess in the music industry including all of his talents such as an entertainer and a fantastic dancer as well as singer. God bless your soul Michael , you will be missed by millions of people all around the world and will always be n our heart. R.I.P MJ xx

REST IN PEACE Michael Jackson
Caroline on June 26th, 2009
Rest in peace Michael. Thoughts and best wishes to your family.
Jasmine, Hong Kong on June 26th, 2009
He just got sick of all the crappy rumours and lies told about him on earth, so he went far away so he could find peace and sings his songs without false accusations. RIP King of Pop
Megs, Sussex on June 26th, 2009
No matter what Michael Jackson may or may not have done in his personal life, that should not be put against him right now while his family try to get over this lose. The music industry completely changed because of him. Like my dad said, it's like when John Lennon was killed, the world came to a stand still because we will never see such a musical icon again! You influenced me and my choices in music so RIP.
Lorainne, S.London on June 26th, 2009
Shocked and devasted, but I know he went with dignity intact, he was iconic trailblazer, one of the kind and much loved legendary enigma to people young and old all over the world. He will live on through his music and I am so sad for his family and sad for the people who never got to see him perform live. God bless u and keep you always - you are at peace now. X
Anna, Greater Manchester on June 26th, 2009
It still hasnt hit me - it still seems so surreal. I couldnt sleep after I heard the news it affected me that much. I played his number ones CD in my car today and I still can't believe hes gone. I hope hes in a better place now. Rx Ix Px
Natalie on June 26th, 2009
Absolutely devastating blow to the world of music, he pioneered the pop movement, and despite what anyone thinks he was a cultural icon and legend who could make us dance. The world won't be the same without him. RIP x
