Micheal Jackson will be given his own National Holiday?  

Probably not America, but I believe he will have a holiday somewhere, and 200 years from now, there will still be parades.

I don't think so. I mean he was a great talent and all but I don't think they will do this. I mean when Princess Di died did they make a holiday for her? I don't know if they did but I don't think they did. Nor for that matter people like John Lennon or Ronald Reagan, etc.

I think we can just remember the good times, his musical legacy, and all of the talent that he had. I hope he rests in peace.

I don't believe that will happen. Along with the other famous folks already mentioned who don't have a national holiday, Elvis Presley doesn't have one and he was the King of Rock N Roll.

I have never been a fan of Michel Jackson,I will remember him for his awesome talent and the good he did around the world for other people.
His memory will forever be tarnished because of the numbers of accusations of child molestation over the years,even tho the 2003 case he was said to not guilty,in another child molestation case he paid 20 million to keep that case out of court.
I belive Michale Jackson was tormented with demons most his adult life and they effect his mind and all that played out in his bazaar behaviors.
I know for now he is at rest and peaceful, my prayers go out to his loved ones and fans around the world.

No, I don't think that there will ever be a holiday for Michael Jackson, surely for years and years to come, this day will be a remembrance of him and all of his accomplishments, he was so talented and was the "king of pop"....he had a lot of turmoil and scandal in his life, but I think that the fact that he died at 50 and just when he was about to start touring again, and would have gotten "back on track" makes his death much sadder, but no a Michael Jackson national holiday is waaaaaaaaaay out there and i don't think it will ever happen.

I don't think we should have a holiday for a pedophile.

Nope. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame TWICE!! I think there will be schools of music named after him. Performers are influenced by him, whether they understand it or not. From lyrics, moves to cinematography... artists are influenced by the amazing progress he is responsible for. No one will ever changed the arts like he did.

who is making this a national holiday???? I havent seen anyting about this one yet???? If it is true .. whomever is behind it needs to get something real to do .. . sure he was a great artist . . and that is all I am going to say about him . .but since when do Great Artists deserve a national holiday???

I don't think a singer or indeed any performer, however good or enduring, should have a day dedicated to them. As with anyone who dies, the anniversary of the death is their memorial. Even great statesmen such as Winston Churchill never received the honour of a national holiday. These days should be reserved for important days in a country's history or culture, and not bestowed lightly on singers, who after all were well rewarded for their work during their lifetime.
