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!"

Regardless of fame and fortune, we are all everyday ordinary God's creatures, regardless of money or status. It's a damn shame the loss of anyone at 50 years old. Michael, I believe within your heart of hearts, your were truly an intense man, who honestly cared, with undo respect, love and inspiration to share and give the world talent beyond comprehension. Troubled? Who isn’t? We all have some dysfunction in our lives. If ever there was a man to "Walk on the Moon," it was Michael Jackson! God bless you Michael and your family, and may you "REST IN PEACE." One request my friend...I lost my Mom at the young age of 57, her name was Jacquelyn, aka (Jackie) and I know she awaits your arrival and would love to “shake her bootie” with you. (She may need a little, or a lot of guidance) (Smile)… Enjoy the afterlife and keep entertaining the heavens as ingeniously as you so did on earth.

I believe deep in my heart soul that micheal jackson was loving, compassionate, giving person. That was trying to show people how really life. Without his music and profound talent this world wouldn't be what is was today. Don't judge because we have no right to. Micheal Jackson let the world in his life and I loved it I thank him. RIP M.J. There will never be another!! I feel like I lost a piece of me. This moment changed my life !! I still cant believe he's gone.

I still can't believe he is gone. I'm hoping that someone will announce that this was a hoax, a rumor, and that Michael is fine, over in London preparing for his comeback tour.
I've loved his music since I was young-I feel empty, like I've lost a close friend.
This is a tragedy. Someone please pinch me so I will wake up...

So much hippocrisy! The same people that chastized him, made fun of his appearance and behavior are boo hooing him now. Now people want to listen and understand why he had a childlike way of percieving the world, and understand he was not a child molester but a person in search of the childhood he never had. You know who are out there! It is people like you that drove him to prescription pills and pain killers. Listen to the words of his song "Childhood". He himself said it is the closest rendition to his own.
