&lt;p&gt;Rest in Peace both Farrah and Michael.&lt;/p&gt;

It is clear when he backed out of his agreement in vegas, they did not take it to lightly. It just shows that the vegas underworld is still in control of everything. Michael jackson dead. Well some people are really happy and some people are going to break down and kill them selves. Michael Jacksons death will hopefully not go in vain. I hope the group who did this gets caught and opens the door on the vegas underground and how the killed michael jackson. It was clear Michael Jackson was murdered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh and by the way we are on a nuclear standoff with North Korea in case any of you Jackson Haters Have not been watching the &amp;quot;real News&amp;quot; (not the tv) &amp;nbsp;and Dont have the smarts to google anything outside of the Tv news headlines. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have suggested that everyone make a donation to cancer research in tribute to Farrah Fawcett and to make a purchase 1 or 2 Michael Jackson songs or an album of his to help his children erase his almost $400M debt. We made a purchase of an album of his number 1 hits. A sad day it was - so many memories come flooding back where my life was affected by the music of Michael Jackson and the smile and the hair of Farrah Fawcett.&lt;/p&gt;

I never felt like he could live up to the success of &amp;quot;Thriller&amp;quot; and was constantly trying to match that &amp;quot;kind of&amp;quot; achievement- no doubt the record companies wanted more of the same- which will also ruin an artists life and probally did.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His appearance scared me- it was a testament to reality and what happens after commercialization alters ones life. I have no or little respect for those around him that never helped. Where was Oprah and Suzie Orman when he needed financial advice. People like Justin Timberlake are imitations- Michael was an original, its true that others feed off famous people- I always thought Justin Timberlake wanted something for himself from M.Jackson: dance moves, fans, notoriety.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought Madonna's feeble attempts to cash in on the publicity from Michael Jackson were horrid. From her altered kiss scene on MTV with Brittney Spears reminiscent of the Lisa Marie Presley+ Michael Kiss- to her crotch grabbing acts- and her positioning of seating this past tour- legs spread like the &amp;quot;Scream&amp;quot; video. Getting that high pitch in the studio is also work for some of these- wanna be's.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Michael Jackson's music is everywhere today- his physical appearance no longer weighs the sound down. And the &amp;quot;famous&amp;quot; entertainers who imitate him should be kareoke singers. Long live fame and the ignorance that surrounds its acquisition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DEAD at 40 stopped breathing at 50&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what I say is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;King of the bubble gummers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;his music was always way over produced for such a great talent&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;legal drugs &amp;nbsp;didn't kill him his profession and the people who work in it did&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as super talented as he was he sure didn't know how to help himself&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;there is only one person that can save you from you and that person is you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you never find yourself you won't be able give yourself the help you need&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he needed so much help and he was so ill and no one heard him calling&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was so awfully sad to watch him rot away for the last tens years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A great loss for those who loved him and his talent&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just another bit of dust in the wind for those of us &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who weren't all caught up in the hype of the sins&lt;/p&gt;
