jermaine Jackson stated to Larry King that his brother should receive a statue? Do you think this is going to far? Others have stated he should have received a Nobel prize and some say we should have a holiday named after him. Is this going to far? has he received the proper credit and respect for his talent and what he accomplished?

yes michael jackson was one of the greatest if not thee greatest entertainers of all time. but to say that he deserves a public holiday named after him is ludicrous. if this is done, who is to stop the fans of elvis presley, bob marley, and even Tupac from wanting statues for their heroes?

Should Tupac have a Shrine? - Should Tupac, Michael Jackson or Bob Marley have a statue or a Shrine made for them?
In their regional areas I believe fans can pay their respect anyway they wish. At Graceland they may have a statue of Elvis. In Kingston or in Montego Bay they may have a statue of Bob Marley and it would be ok for them to have a statue of Tupac at his Rap school outside Oakland but that type of reverance is and should be cautious. The bible says watch who and how you worship and be careful not to put something before God. As long as their reverance remains in their proper place as a guide of someone who accomplished something but to always recognize their were very flawed humans but that we as flawed humans can accomlish also maybe that is ok.

No, James Brown deserve one before him. But if they do, I hope its old Michale pre surgery than scary looking Michael of his last days. Man that was scarier looking than the zombies in the Thriller video. http://cheapdslrprofessional.blogspot.com/

The best scenario is to make Neverland ranch a shrine to Michael Jackson. They can have a statue there. However if the ranchers and neighbors instill that that is not workable thewn it should be oikay to make a amusement park museum in Los Angelas or Las Vegas. However it should not be a national thing but more of a regional or personal thing. Fans can come and pay their respects from all over the world but in their own time and dont have to disrupt the lives of others who were not into Michael. He was the greatest entertainer of all but he was an entertainer and did not represent the changing social culture that others like Ghandi or Martin Luther King did. For this reason his reverance should be limited.

Hi, Sourceseeker. I don't know. But I think that an memorial can be set up, every year so that his legacy can be remembered. It should be an public setting for all of his fans and loved ones.

Having a statue is no big deal, even Rocky had one so why can't Michael Jackson have one? Michael Jackson inspired me and i love his music, what he acomplished literary changed the world of music, if no statue were made then they should have a yearly memorial for him. Peace.

I have always been a fan of MJ for 20 years now but I don't think a statue should be made in his memory. Perhaps something else, like a museum- Michael Jackson Museum. I think statues are meant for heroes and other people who've done really great things.

A Michael Jackson statue would be awesome! I think it would have to be somewhere appropriate, though. I mean can you imagine a statue of him while doing the moon walk? The idea sounds awesome and I think it would look pretty amazing too. That being said, though, I still think that it should be located at his Neverland ranch or somewhere where it would have meaning. It can't be placed somewhere pointless. That just wouldn't work. There will be no one to replace him, so he definitely deserves something unique and something to honour him!
