as we all know  

it seems pretty surreal right now, i am still thinking "yeah right" not michael jackson, but i have just seen the paramedics taking his body from a helecopter, but when i heard i couldn't believe it, his memory will live on FOREVER just like farrah, she was an incredibly beautiful lady and i feel for her family, it's all about michael right now and no mention of Farrah which is pretty sad, i think they should do a tribute about her too because after all she was much loved by her fans too....

Yes, Tatty, everyone is talking about that..that poor Farrah is in the sidelines which is not right. I know that he was possibly the bigger star, but they were equally amazing with adoring fans all over the world, I agree.

maybe this is a good thing that she is in the sidelines because the media will leave her family alone so they can grieve in peace, but since michael died her name has not been mentioned once.

i have not heard of Ed sorry to say but i have noticed that most big starts are dropping like flies this year, david caradine was a shocker because he took his own life, no one could imagine him being so traumatised to take his life, but i think they should mention farrah, she was just as much well known as michael, i feel sad for all the people who have lost these people in the past few months, may they all now rest in peace...

David Carradine's death was an accident. Usually someone committing suicide would not want to be found in a very undignified condition that he was found in. He was also in the middle of working on another film project that was being shot on location in Thailand, & I don't think the work he was doing there was completed at the time.

oh, i didn't know his death was an acident, from what i have read he has talked about taking his own life in the past, i still feel sad that he died.

David Carradine's death was ruled an accident.

By the way, did yoy know ...

that Michael Jackson was one of the two songwriters of that We Are The World?

He also helped Berry Gordy's son, who took the name Rockwell, with the recording of his big hit, Somebody's Watching Me. This line was actually sung by Michael himself:
I always feel like
Someone's watching meeeeeeeeee

Uh - Oopsie - did I just jump-start a song annoyingly playing in your head?

wow, you learn something new every day, thanks for that, now you got me humming, somebodys watching me....lol....naughty klingon....lol....

there were alot of people who thought he was guilty, i wasn't one of them, i knew he was innocent, but that doesn't matter any more, he left a legacy and his name and memory will live forever....

Yes and hopefully with good thoughts only.

thanks tamara, after that jordan episode the others tried to jump on the bandwagon and milk him for what he had, it didn't work though did it...i am sorry that MJ died and i hope they don't drag him through the mud now he's gone, he's been through enough already.

thankyou opal, i think the 2 of them went to heaven together, he lead the way for her, i just cannot get over the death of both of them, 2 massive starts snuffed out like that, it's uncomprehendable, i am still watching the TV about michael right now, it's been on all day but more stuff is being shown that no one has seen before, there's a huge hole since his death just like farrar, both were loved so much and will never be forgotten.

i know that we all loved each person in we all should celebrate the fact that they both were wonderful talents who had a great impact to dozens of people all over the world and in this time of mourning we should look in reflect on are own lives in live it to the fullest.

yes honey, you are right, treat every day like it's your last, go for life in full throttle because you never know the minute that your no longer going to be here any more......thankyou.

Well - instead of adding to my own response, I chose you to add THIS gem, Opal. (get it? huh? huh?)

This may not be common knowledge, but I think this is one of his greatest moments. He wrote this with Lionel Richie, & helped in making this happen in the mid-1980's:

Here it is in progress:

And ...




Here's the finished product:

Hey Klingon! You are a "gem" too! Wow! Now that just blew
me away! I haven't seen or heard that entire song/video
in years! I remember where I was when they played it on
the radio stations at the same time everywhere! Do you
remember that? I was at work at one of my many "jobs from
Hell" and a bunch of us snuck into one of the back rooms
to listen to it on the radio! It was incredible! That song
still makes me cry! Thanks so much for the very fond memories!
Especially of Michael!

Yeah - I remember early 1985 - it was played to death. Being that the compact disc was still in its infancy, I wonder how many VD's (vinyl disc - so get your minds out of the gutter ) had to be replaced from it being used over & over again. The various artists didn't get any payments for it, being that they all volunteered. All of the proceeds from record sales & broadcast play went to help the starving children in Africa.

Mylot is right now slower than being on a 28K modem dial-up, & seemed to have made my comment important enough to be said again ...

what happened to him was appauling, just because he gave that jordan kid them millions does not mean he dod anything, he paid them so he could have peace, also to get rid of the situation, the other lads mother was greedy and thought she could get away with a payment from michael too but it didn't work for her, she is evil and nasty and is a born liar, poor michael was put through hell because of this evil minded parasite, i think the trial has contributed to his medical problems which eventually killed him he was treated unfairly, people he loved just stuck the knife in deeper and drove him to his grave, ok he was on medications but all the stress has slowly made him the man he was before he died, now i hope that the media will leave him alone and let him rest in peace.

Hey jerz & tatty! I am also one that believes he was innocent!
I really believe he just loved being a kid with kids! He
didn't have pedofile tendencies! I worked for a criminal
attorney who had a pedofile for a client! It is a shame that
Michael had to settle the case the way he did leaving him
"looking" guilty~

thanks opal, well just the other day i read a pice that jordy whoever he was admitted that he lied, so to those people out there who judged him...shame on you...even now they are dragginh him through the mud and the poor man is dead for goodness sake, i wish they would just let him rest in peace now, he's been through enough, not it's time he had some peace.

Too little, too late. If he had come forward when he was 18-20, I could say he lived a lie under coercion. But, he waited until Michael died tragically to feel remorse? It's 16 years later!! He's 28 years old and has no excuse to take this long except that perhaps he was enjoying the money as well? And, thought no harm, no foul? Rubbish!! No other victims!! NONE!!! This man wasn't a pedophile! They'd have been coming out of the woodwork by now wanting money for their stories!!!

UNfortunately, it appears that the statement is a hoax, that Chandler did NOT confess to lying. I still don't believe it was true, though. Michael was easy pickings.

well as you can see by my profile, i am NOT michael, micheal died, right? i am alive and female from UK. but my gut feeling tells me he was innocent, he was a lovely kind gentle person and only wanted to love people, not hurt them, so this is my answer, plus he was found NOT GUILTY, some people say he was guilty, but i think he was innocent...that's my opinion, we all have our own thoughts about what happened but i do believe that he did nothing wrong....thankyou.

My point is you said you KNOW, but now you are saying it's your opinion.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

what is this...pick on tatty day, i know in my heart that he didn't do anything wrong to those kids and i knew that he would be found innocent, lots of people have their own views on what happened, this is my view, he is not that type of person, am i under interrigtion today, i say what i feel, is that a crime?... i am not an argumentative person so i will leave it here. have a good day

hi mel, i agree with you 100%, i do think that he paid these people just so they would go away and leave him alone, this doesn't make him guilty of anything does it? i don't think he's capable of hurting anyone, but i do think he's been treated so badly in the past and people took advantage of his good nature, i feel sad that he's been treated so poorly and made to look like a monster, some people think he's guilty of these horrible crimes but i always knew in my heart that he wasn't, there are some oretty bad minded people out there and they disgust me, all he did was love people, both adults and kids, he has been dealt a bad card and people just walk all over the man, it's so sad that he died and he will be sorely missed by millions, shame on the people who treated him like he was filth, shame on them, as for farrah, i always liked her out of the 3 angels, my bro used to really fancy her because she was a beauty, his words....she had a nice butt....lol...so having said this, 2 beautiful people have been taken from us these past few days but i am sure they will never ever be forgotten, may they both rest in PEAC because that's all they ever wanted when they were alive, especially michael, he did not deserve to be so badly treated, some people are just plain horrible aren't they, i hope they get their karma.

"i hope they get their karma."
they will. good for good. bad for bad. always.

I hope lawmakers will consider victims background too and their families when it comes to abuse allegations. I heard he was acquitted and someone admitted it was a lie, that he never touched them. But there was no press release or something to clear his image, so now even after he died some people still argued that he was guilty.

thei karma will come to them, it may take a lifetime but it will come....

thanks lolo, well it was confirmed that the lad who accused him of molestation (jordy whatshisname) actually admitted that he lied, i always knew that MJ was innocent, it was a gut feeling and i never doubted him one bit, some people seem to judge before finding out the facts and that's what they believe, what horrible people they are, as for farrah, i feel sad for her because of what she went through, and i hope she and MJ meet in heaven. r-i-p to the both of them.

Hi tatty, I did hear that Jordy Chandler had lied about MJ...it is disgusting what he did especially as it was because of the influence of his father...the father should now be made to pay back all he took from MJ, es coming out he will make even more moneypecially as with this story....as you said R.I.P Michael....hugs LoLo
