Michael Jackson and Friends: From Pop Stars to Presidents
Michael Jackson was not just a talented musician, he was a true genius. And even though his legendary contribution to the music world has been overshadowed the last few years by accusations, trials, and changes in his physical appearance, he was never at a loss for friends. By all accounts, he was sweet, kind, and had a childlike outlook on life that was contagious. People just wanted to be with him... from pop stars to Presidents. So we take a look at the King of Pop and just SOME of the famous people who clamored to be by his side, from Elizabeth Taylor to Nelson Mandela.

Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

The death of Micheal jackson was the end of a genuis . His music was combined with great visual production and superb dancing . The result at times is breathtaking . Sad to believe still he has passed but his musical legacy will live on .

Very nice gallery. Most of the timelines were dead-on, with the exception of MJ and Liz Taylor. that picture is not his 1990 look. The cheekbones and eyes are wrong for that time. That picture is most likely around circa 2000. I -like most of his fans-can readily match any of MJ's incarnations, with the proper year, or close to it. Rest in peace King Michael!

the death of Farrah Fawcett will be considered as jackson's revenge to O'neal family..remember when he's still young he really like Tatum but O'neal family doesn't like him and lam bast him..that's why he composed the song "she's out of my life"...how sad story..,sorry for my bad English.

i cannot believe MJ is dead. i just started being his fan moths ago. i loved his music and before i knew these songs but i just didnt know it was Michael Jackson.
when i heard he died it made me want to cry. maybe of all that he went through; accusations of molesting children and bleaching and then he died.
it feels until today i still cant believe it.
R.I.P MJ

Michael Jackson, I thank you for being the person you were, and for not following the path of others, but going where no other had been and left your path. Others may try ...but you will never be duplicated! I have loved your music from the beginning and you will truly be missed. Rest in peace and may God keep his arms around you and your family. Buster

Michael Jackson, you were a genius, you are an icon, but most of all you were a very special human being. I disagree about your talent being overshadowed by whatever. We all know that the sun shines even though it might be cloudy, you will shine like the sun until the end of time.As Diana Ross said it in one of her songs "Someday we'll be together" and that will be in paradise. My heart is with your family and your children. Love you Michael Jackson. Alicia
