Michael Jackson Memorial Thread.

[Fred]

Yes, we've all heard, and we all (or some of us) are moruning the passing of a legend. Perhaps the greatest entertainer since Elvis Presley, or in this history of the world. I personally think that the media are hypocrites. For the past decade and more they have been trying to pull him down, and all of a sudden they are his best friend. But back on track, Rest In Peace Michael Jackson. I will remember you for your music, not the allegations.

It was such a shock and it still is really. It's so sad and I can never really see anyone ever being as huge and having that much talent as him again....

Totally surprised at the news, I woke up that morning went on the net to check something and saw it on MSN today! Then when I got to school, before 3rd period... jokes were already floating around, people texting etc etc It's really disrespectful and sad.

At work there were free MJ posters with the Melb Herald Sun and I didn't even both asking most people if they wanted the poster in the end so many hateful people toward him it was horrible

[Fred]

Thanks Bron. I would have taken one if I lived in Victoria. I find people's behavior really offensive. I don't see why people would hate him so much. Michael was found innocent for a reason.

EDIT: It was a little different for me Mark. I was sleeping and suddenly my Mum called out to me as loud as she could. So I ran I and looked at the tv. I completely broke down.

Update:

I watched the memorial this morning. It was so moving to see all of the support for Michael. It was really sad when Paris was speaking and she cried. I couldn't hold back my tears. (Takes a real man to cry lol).

[Mary]

uhh its so sad.
I was lying in my bed in the morning and i heard it on the news.
R.I.P Michael.
the memorial was sad.
there will never be another Michael.

[Fred]

No there won't, I agree. I still havent got over it. I know guys aren't meant to cry, but it is still so surreal and I can't help it.

[Russh]

The memorial was very good there were some very nice words said. I got teary when Paris spoke poor kid I watched the interview they had on the other night where the guy was asking about how he had the kids sleeping in his bed and I know he was telling the truth about how he just wants all kids to be loved etc. Poor Michael =[

[Fred]

I couldn't agree more Bron. I also cried when Paris spoke. I just really felt her pain.

And yeah, I believe he as innocent too.

[Russh]

Yeah like he really was so sincere he just wanted peace and I think he was so passionate about children because he didn't have a childhood and felt so connected to them.

It's so unfair that people just believe all the allegations. Some kid came forward recently and said that his father made him say Michael did stuff to him just to get millions of dollars. Some people are disgusting. The things they do for money.
