Lorrie C, does that mean your savior didn't go to heaven - since he was over 30 when he died?

I don't believe that "talent" is doing drugs, grabbing your private parts while singing, sleeping with little boys, or being "famous". I believe that TALENT lies in people who actually make a difference in the world. Doctors, Police, Firemen, Teachers... the list goes on and on. It saddens me that individuals would put Jackson on a pedistal when he was nothing special. There are skewed priorities and views out there that prove why this world is so messed up. Stop believing everything you read and start looking between the lines.

andrea k-You are obviously very young. I happen to be a mother of 4 grown children and grandmother of 4. Three hold my hand and one holds my heart. Read my comment again if you need to know who I honor. Teri H-Yes, no one is Heaven is over 30 years old. Study up on Christianity and you will learn this. Dan H-I am not the most important person in my life. I would not even be here if it weren't for Our Savior. He comes first in my life! Dan H.- "outcast in his field"-where were you?
Michael Jackson's 50 sold-out London comeback shows- $85 million in ticket sales. Yes, that was London. I know if it would have been in the US or any other country, the results would have been the same. I seem to remember many, many "comeback tours" from different celebrities whether it be a single person or groups! He made mistakes just like all of "us". All of you included. It's just sickening the way the comments on here are degrading. He was human. He was never proven guilty of child abuse! I don't want to go back into that but if you are going to make a "comeback" statement to me, just go to my previous comments to see what is said about that. Michael Jackson was a very talented person. His talents way exceeded what most of us could ever do. He did great things for this world. A few families decided they wanted some of his billions, so what is the best way to do that? Use the children that he cared so much for. To me, those are the sick ones. I will not go on and have my character questioned. I will not be attacked anymore. I am not jealous of someone who had so very much in talent and in heart like many here are. Let the man rest. He did many wonderful things. Read more about him and not just what the tabloids say. Read about the man, Michael Jackson. What you are reading or hearing is just a very little about him. Look at the big picture. As I said before- Michael R.I.P.

I'm fascinated by hypocrites. Where were all these pseudofans and celebrities before he died? He was a virtual outcast in his field for at least the past five years if not more. Even his own family only tolerated him reluctantly because he was their meal ticket. The same goes for all those pretending suddenly that they were his most loyal fans. Where were they the day before he died, or the week before or the month before? How were they worshipping him then? An artist doesn't need to make a "comeback" tour if his fans have been supporting him all along. Plenty of hypocrisy and phoniness to go around.

I'm fascinated by social rituals, so watched it, expecting it to be an over-the-top circus. It actually was quite moving, especially the little girl, Paris, at the end, telling the world that no matter what the world thinks about him, she loved her daddy. I grew up on the Jacksons, and really liked MJ through the '80s, til he started getting weird. The fact that someone not much older than I died so suddenly -- reminds me of my own mortality.

I'm the most important person in my life because without me, I wouldn't exist. Or something.
