He was an amazing singer/performer, especially as a child. Very unique.

After reviewing the photos, I'd like to say that I hope the plastic surgeons that worked on mutilating him have to answer (to a higher power, perhaps ??) for what they did.

RIP, Michael. Condolences to the family and friends.

Michael,

May your soul forever rest in perfect peace.

My husband and I were watching the thriller video last night and I noticed all the hundreds of comments on all his videos, the TV coverage, the radio and I thought... Michael can hear his music being played all over the world. I know he sees and feels how much he was loved and how much he will be missed. We love you, Michael.

That whole family had titanic struggles after celebrity, money, and power came along. I hope they have solace from many places.

Those doctors who worked on Michael Jackson should lose their license to practice.

[Kristen777]

They should be charged for involuntary manslaughter in my opinion. How many times does this have to happen?

An incredible gift that somehow went awry. Very sad.
