TO “MISS M”
I totally agree with all words you said. When he came to Russia where I grew up, he visited orphans’ house. I remember him holding toddlers in his hands. It was so sweet.
Life is harsh, isn’t it? Look at Madonna: she is saving a child from Malawi, and people are writing dirty stories about her. It is funny that “people” can not stand those who do good. Those who can not do anything useful for the world themselves are bad-mouthing those who can. The same was with Michael Jackson.

it’s true prayer.. he was different than many many others nowadays in the united states of america..
i think it’s sad that the world only wants to hear bad things.
mj was an icon, an artist, a true child lover..
he told once in a interview that he would jump of the balcony
if there were no more children being born in the world.. how sad is that? this man all these people hate and wanna make fun of
he’s just an innocent man who hasn’t had his younger years..
so he wanted to make up for them.. it’s so sad it breaks my heart
that we world we live in is all about the media, what they say and what they want us to hear..
it’s not about the real fact anymore..
mj was not a lindsay lohan or a britney spears..
he was so much more than all these young WH**RES who are trying to be all over in the media every every day…

what you say about madonna is true.. she wants to help children in countries where their own parents can’t, but the media likes what they see and make up silly things.. it’s the way of life these days..

but it still amazes me that most people on this blog don’t even know what is going on in the world.. they only now the celebs in hollywood.. hollywood is not the world guys..

it’s all about love and respect

Michael Jackson was a kind sensitive soul and his family will do right by him now and keep his funeral private so they and can honor him properly. Now Michael can Rest in Peace.

LOL>>LOL>>LOL>> ” NUMBER # 1. and I AGREE with you NUMBER # 4 also. ( SIGH )
I don’t think his funeral service OR burial should be open to the public. After all Michael did to hide himself AND his children away from the public’s eye’s, a hugh funeral circus would be a slap in his face. I wish someone in his family would stand up and put an end to this nonsense. I’m sure his children would agree. Rest in Peace Michael.
