He was so talented. :o( 15 years ago satto Logo Designer That's life... That's death... He did the job and had a crazywonderful time... Not everyone can say that! 15 years ago illumina Logo Designer Didnt seem crazywonderful to me. The guy was abused by his father as a kid, unbelievably pressured and forced to perform from a very young age, the lack of any normality in his life caused some psychological issues that he carried for the rest of his life. He had absolutely no real privacy, no real friends, nothing to guide him in how to grow into an adult. Singing was all he ever knew, theres no way he could have succeeded at anything else, he simply wasnt taught anything else. Fame and money doesnt necessarily mean happiness. 15 years ago Berrido Logo Designer Illumina has a point there, fame and money doesn't necessarily mean happines... But even though he might have not been happy, we will remember him as an influence to a whole generation. I mean, you listen to all the music that is making big bucks in the radio and even further, the whole culture right now (at least the western culture) and there's a direct or indirect influence from Michael Jackson there.Yesterday when my brother told me, I was like "ooh, ok!" but then I listened to "Thriller" and I was like "damn, MICHAEL JACKSON died :( "... 15 years ago SPARKcreative Logo Designer Nobody has made happy MJ (I think) but he has spent his life making people happy million that rest in peace and that God will judge him for what he was in his earthly life 15 years ago Erik Logo Designer ... 15 years ago Tyler LogoTournament Staff The moon walk:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15SxqqwF63U 15 years ago bluejet Logo Designer Fame and fortune very rarely go hand in hand with happiness.That comes from within.A lot of the greatest talents in the world, have been born of hardship. 15 years ago Arazil Logo Designer My heart is weeping.

Impressive...I have to recognize I even cried a little bit when his daughter tried to speak, and when they performed "We Are The World". 15 years ago CJ Logo Designer I watched the whole thing and I cried, I don't care to admit it. He was a one of a kind for our generation, never in this lifetime will anyone surpass him. Rest in paradise Mikey we love you! 15 years ago aremmai Logo Designer Brooke Shields' eulogy touched me most. The times they shared and cherished away from the limelight and as normal kids for a short moment were special. I like what she said when MJ 1st time wore the glove..."What's with the glove?" that was funny.I was also touched when the people performed "We are the World" and "Heal the World"...such powerful and moving songs.RIP MJ. 15 years ago
