I liked MJ, but this over the top tribute stuff is getting out of hand. There were American politicians who had a moment of silence. Please. That was a bit too much.
.
Respect him, but lets not get carried away.
@Naomi:
Exist to tear down the living and pay tributes to the dead.
That is a true quote
I absolutely, positively do not get this. Yes, I thought MJ was an icon and defintely changed the music industry, but the media is acting like it did when JFK died or MLK. Give me a break. This is absolutely ridiculous.
I love MJ. But I sure as hell don’t care to here what Kobe or oscar delhoya have to say about him. yuk. Musicians, yes, ordinary people, yes. but not these dipsh*ts.
I loved MJ so much. So sad about his passing. Beautiful cover though. RIP KING OF POP
@ susan: ‘but the media is acting like it did when JFK died or MLK. Give me a break. This is absolutely ridiculous.”
Susan, I know I may be a bit young to completely understand the era of Michael Jackson, but for people about 20 and under this the most tragic major death that has taken place in our lifetimes. We were too young when Princess Diana died so to younger people this death is a big deal. And we also have to realize that Michael was the most famous man in the world, the most famous deserve this kind of coverage with their deaths.
They’re simply the best, not a normal person on the street.
Wow, great photo. They should make a poster out of that one.
wowww a great one. I will get this mag..rest in peace Michael !!

@irish girl:
You do realize how much $$$ these magazines can make by putting him on the cover, right?
If you don’t like tribute pages then don’t click on articles about recently deceased stars.
BTW, wtf are you people to tell others how to mourn anyway?
no doubt that it will sell
they interviewed a lot of ppl quickly
I’m getting sadder about this by the day. Watching VH1’s MJ videos marathon today brings back his genius in a way that makes it all so sad. Thoughts and prayers to the whole Jackson family, who must be in complete shock. Michael you will never be forgotten. You shared your incredible talent with us for many years, but you are gone far too soon. The world will never forget you. May you find peace.
Beautiful pic cover. Very well choosen. A nice way to remember him.
bless my heart feels so haevy i feel like i lost a close friend…like a family member
Love this cover. Still can’t believe he’s gone!!
90% of you wouldn’t be showing him this support if he were alive and being accused of molesting another child. So spare me.
Now that he’s dead we all love him? Right.
There will never be nor is there another entertainer like Michael Jackson. He was definitely one of a kind and the only really, truly creative artist alive who has impacted not just our country but the WORLD!
He stardom was global and no one has ever accomplished that, no one!
God bless the Jackson family in this sad but joyous time. I say joyous because Michael may not have had a chance to make a come back (to me he never left) through touring but his name is being praised and acknowledge BIG TIME in his passing, sad but great!
I have always loved Michael Jackson–always have always will!!!
I love that the TV Guide and Time covers both show him at a very minimalist time—hair back from his face, plain shirt. Very nice tributes.
and p.s. I could not BELIEVE it when I heard “Billie Jean” for the first time. That was a song that everyone busted a move to. And if you deny it, you’re a LIAR! LOL!!
#43 wakeup. this is how society and the media treat huge stars. Build them up to break them down, and when they die… build them back up.
@LolaSvelt:
Michael…it’s too soon..we got some preachers that raise people
from the dead…….should’ve called….We love you and will miss you…
I want to wave goodby on the funeral route…You Are American Royalty..
We Love You Man! I expect it to be jumpin up there, I suppose the King needed an excellent performer….Enjoy your new home..PEACE OUT V !
