[MrJudas666666]

who lives in the house now?

[DoshUnScripted]

@MrJudas666666

They left it to Ben.

His cousin Remmy Was over cooking at the time preparing for some of the rest of the family to come over, Micky, Minnie, Fiffle & Mrs. Johnathan Brisby and her kids were over too, But he was must too distraught to give an interview.

He asked that you send no flowers, just cheese.

[AroundTheRegion]

very sweet compliment....thanks!

[tuukee317]

love this video, good to see ppl out to support him. and all Indiana ppl do not look like that. so just get that out the picture.

[VLNevada]

1:28 is that a trannie?

[bigghead5050]

Lets see, "i likeded, fernaro (funeral). Gary, Indianer, & alot of toothless people. hmm Gary must have a horrible school sysytem (terrible grammer) and no dentist offices

[Ravenshaternumba1]

Prison bitch

[PersianButtons]

AWE!!!! The little girl at the end!!! Great video. I LOVE hearing other fans talk. I don't care what celebrities or slick journalists have to say about Michael. I want to hear the fans because that's what I am and I FEEL them. I feel their pain and their love.

[nicole27076]

it would be awesome to live there.I wanna live in that house. i would be so excited to live in his child hood home where the Jackson 5 lived. how cool would that be?

[blacktiekiller]

I love her @ 1:16....."I likda him"

[lilyofthevalley7]

WOW ! 6:50 He sounds just like MJ!

We still missing you MJ

"Gone to Soon"

[tyffy]

I miss him so much...

[NightJay24]

3:57 "...it was something wrong with you." Damn straight!

[jayblac]

gone toooooooooooooooooooooo sooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn

[tsangpogorge]

Most black people love Mj white people especially Americans call him a freak

[papatoony]

I finally drove by 2300 Jackson Street today...I'd always wanted to see that house. Just like everyone was saying--it's amazing he came from THAT and ended up as the most famous person in the world.

[nutothis1]

Thanks for this video. The man singing "Gone Too Soon" really sounds good.

[TheChaplinLover]

Gary residents must miss Michael like crazy! I remember stories about Michael from his peers, famous musical people saying he, as a child, was gifted and different. He always questioned things, took notes, always ahead of his time. I will always miss that sweet young man. God bless the family. They sacrificed much but were also given much in the way of talent--not only Michael, but the family. Good memories, Jacksons. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Jeanne

[bubblesui]

" I likeded him"

[theawesome6842]

@bubblesui Its liked not likeded

[mj18girlforever1]

[AlovesMJ]

"we love you Michael" aaww! So sweet, made me cry so bad...

[Bfoots]

The little girl at the end of this piece brought me to tears. We love you Michael. Gone too soon. Hope you are loved more where you are now than when you were here. Your heart and soul were too big for this narrow world....Take a bow in Heaven for a Job Well Done, MJ.........Peace.

[jjjazii]

that little girl brought the tears to my eyes

michael was right

there is something about children that can touch us all

[streetlamp101]

that little girl at the end brought me to tears

[Blackjesus3]

mjs the best

[rmbb10]

I know a lot of people are on how the people of Gary looked and spoke, but the things they said were nice. It's good to be love and well received around the world, but nothing like it in you hometown. It has to be one of the greatest feelings in the world.

[lovemj4life100]

What a lovely tribute... he really was an inspiration!!

[inemcik]

Wait...did she say they went to a "fruneral"?

[inemcik]

"I likeded him....I likeded him" Sigh.

[MiamiPush2theLimit]

Michael came from extreme poverty. The Jacksons really achieved the American Dream.

[theblunttruth]

HAHAHAHA People in Gary Indiana are dumber than shit. they cannot convey words without fucking up the english language! hahahahaha!!!!

[Ericanthonyedaddy]

na bitch, fuck u mean...alotta of can speak propely, some of us jus choose not to...insteada judgin shit, u shoulda jus watched da fuckin video and moved da fuck on wit yo life...i hate muhfuckas like u! uuugh!!

[kookoo78]

@theblunttruth I'm from Gary and contrary to most beliefs, some people can properly speak the English language. Though I must admit that this video doesn't necessarily highlight that fact. Personally I think Mike should have help more people in the community to obtain a proper education since he had the means to do so.

[MJfanvietnam]

Heartfelt love for Michael. So touching. Especially 6:30.

[happyjoe4ever]

It looks like the ugly stick came around and whacked a lot of people that live in Gary right in the grills!

[lordmacrae]

Hey birab,....Give ya 20 bucks if you walk his street at night, an asshole like you would never make it in Gary, ....you couldn't make it 2 blocks!

I lived on 3rd and Monroe, that was my humble beginning. Glad to see no matter who you are,....M.J. showed us....you really can climb any mountain.............. You will be missed.

[CarbideCarbon]

Everyone should visit his old house! It's testament to America that ANY man can get ANYTHING for himself if he works hard enough for it. That's why people dislike Obama: Americans don't need hand outs, they need less punitive laws/taxes.

[ChipetteSam]

ive been there

[Corrado900]

god bless michael,and the man singing GONE TO SOON good job.i only wish someone had mentioned that the bad things said about michael were not true.michael was a kind gentle soul.

[7GreenThumb7]

Gone Too Soon, that's for sure! Michael, I grew up with you, and I will forever miss you! (sniff, sniff)

I pray that your babies will be well taken care of!

Love,

From Ohio

[birab]

Michael Jackson was a idiot all that damn money and this nigga wanna take hard drugs to go to sleep Idiots good riddens Homo

[atx23gurl]

Actually you dumbass, it's "Good riddance!" It never ceases to amaze me how you dumb motherfuckers have the nerve to open your mouths and try to talk bad about someone, and you can't even speak/write proper English. Trust me, your comment would be much more effective if you educated yourself. BTW, Michael Jackson came from humble beginnings and achieved more in 50 years than you will probably achieve if you live to be 100.

[Kellsg101]

More like a 1000 or more. In order for Michael Jackson to be toped people will literally have to forget about him, which will probably never happen. Michael Jackson is dead and gone and I still spin around and grab my crotch. He will continue to live on in all of us. To me I believe he was chosen by God to entertain, and when God your creator choses you for a certain calling you're going to be considered the best, in life and in death. R.I.P MJ

[stansty]

You and ur damn self re big homos go F ur self and hve respect for the dead.

[EdwardPack1988]

You act like you knew him.

[HeyImRaffy]

birab shut your fucking fruity mouth you dam cunt michael was great he did things no one else could do. i bet if you lived for 100000 years you wouldn't even be 1/100 great as what MJ did in 50 years!

[CharmedAges]

Such a tiny house and town. Look how far he went..

[Habb0GAM3S]

Oh no, garfy isn't a tiny town, :) Its many different parts of it, like miller, glen park .. :)

[Habb0GAM3S]

I ment gary :l, boy, i can't spell.

[cardi35]

I am forever great full to MJ for his music. You can say what ever you want but the man left this world a better place than when he entered. It is because of MJ that I when to college for music and to me he is the greatest. Thank you for the video that you posted and it is a blessing that people loved him for what he was. A imperfect man that has touched the heart of so many people. Rest in Piece Mike we love you and miss you. Like the song said "Gone Too Soon"

[callmeoniep01]

Wow, that little girl at the end! Heart breaking.. and that man singin Gone Too Soon, major props man!! I love MJ now he can finally rest in peace!

[callmeoniep01]

I like seeing this, like the other person said before... this is REAL people... not scripted crap... these people are talking from their hearts and their own personal lives with/ around the jackson family

[lpatron]

great video

[AroundTheRegion]

thank you

[2cute4u110]

you would truely be missed Mike R.I.P The lil girl at the end brought me to tears

[CyraxRcCAWS]

Great vid. 1 question though who lives in the old jackson house or is it a masterpiece now??

[fweenerson]

apparently a cousin lived in that house up until micheal's death...i was there this morning.....

and the father still owns it.....

[DRionnababii]

aww the little gurl made me cry !=[

[sweetiepie01]

The little girl made me cry...

[v2174230322]

i went to that house in early june and then to the motown museum in detroit a few days later. i had no idea a few weeks later such a tragedy would occur

[itscatttt]

that little girl made me cry, just before the "gone to soon" at the end<3 we love you michael RIP<3

[KadmonHillz]

Michaels older brothers and my uncles were into baseball, they used to play on the diamond at roosevelt. I guess you can say what you want about the man but one thing you can't say is that he wasn't a legend who influenced a whole lot of people in the entertainment world. I think I peeped one of my cousins on here..Damn it's been a while since I been to G.I..

[usher119]

Come on my people, i am from Gary and i am appalled that you found some these people to speak. Likeded him?????

[kage574]

they are just real people speakin real talk. Nobody wants to hear from no fake ass bullshitter. Im from the G too

[oUNITYo]

[MultiAnaanaana]

[oUNITYo]

[Nerdbama]

Very classy comments...

[PW08]

LMAO @ 5:40

"...This little small house right here to Greatness" He is too funny.

[adk813]

Thanks for going to Michaei's old neighborhood in Gary to interview the people that knew him and loved him from the start. Thank you!

[oUNITYo]

thankyou

[AroundTheRegion]

Your welcome!...something told me "just go there and talk to everyone" and that's basically what i did.

[BettyDavis66]

Thanx for posting this video!! Even though most people were drunk or high..lol..it was good to hear from the old neighbors and all the stories

[oUNITYo]

dey werent drunk or high!

[bigipoika]

MJ WAS FROM A WILD CITY

[oUNITYo]

yea and im from dere!

[kfc63822]

ROCK & ROLL MUST NEVER DIE!!

[buddybass2]

The first guy they interview tried time & time again for years to bum money off of me & my musician buddies at gigs around Gary CONSTANTLY!!!! No Joke at all!!!

[derspenc]

is that the incents man that always be by Rally's

[minor0989]

That was so sweet:. A lot of people have lots os love & respect for not only Michael but the whole Jackson family:.

[Ryan199403]

so whats happend to the house now is someomen living in it?

rip mj

[JAZZYJAV2003]

MICHAEL JACKSON WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

[kyootee]

Thanks so much for making this video and for the truthful and kind words about a magnificent human being, Michael Jackson (RIP)

[ALAL0210]

Why Michael and Janet's pronounciation is so clear?

[ALAL0210]

why MJ' s English pronounication is so clear?

[swissbank1m]

ahhh that little girl with the beads at the end, so cute and the song  - "Gone Too Soon" Great video. MJ the greatest entertainer and a great humanitarian, From the womb to 90, people adore the beautiful person that was Michael Jackson.

[AroundTheRegion]

Thank You So Much for the Kind Words. Michael lives on through all of us that enjoyed his songs and music which are now his legacy....but more important ... his spirit.

[williewill037]

It takes alot to move me to tears,but that song for Micheal made me just break down and cry. Real down to earth people in Gary,Indiana and great job.

[sunlionness2007]

nice song for michael. he is so loved by many.

[mtaryi]

The house is owned by a trust in California. They said that Joe Jackson's brother lived in the house up to a few months ago.

[MisterInternetJunkie]

In terms of song and dance alone, music dwells in every aspect of human life, the world over. In the history of music there have been few to transcend cultural and ethnic boundaries in the manner Michael Jackson did. He was and will remain the iconic benchmark of musical excellence for all time. Naturally, with his passing the generation of fans who grew up with him were humbled and like me I am sure many felt a part of their youth and memories arrested with his weary heart and soul. RIP.

[starbabe58]

rest in peace mj

[braddtv]

that was very sweet of you to make that dude.. i enjoyed it. the kid at the end said it!

WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL

[davethegug]

im from the area and from what i know, family members own the house but nobody lives in it. soon, they're going to turn it into a national landmark. rip mj

[lilbiscuitmaker]

someone does live in the house. im from gi, i understand why they might wanna go to the house but i hope they were respectful. i do know they rode pass throwing flowers at the house for him.

[AroundTheRegion]

thanks.

[FuckUtube2008]

are you sure someone actually lives there? i find that hard to believe for some reason. if so, i'm kind of confused as to why the interviewer didn't knock on the door and talk to the owners.

[AroundTheRegion]

i was told it was empty ... can you believe that? not sure who owns either.

[doulasc]

Does anyone presently live in the house?

What do they think of all the publicity in their front yard?

[phxdivine]

Una prueba más de la grandeza de este país de las oportunidades, donde sí existe el sueño americano. Los Jackson 5 sobresalieron por su talento, sin influencias externas, y Michael llegó a ser el más grande artista de todos los tiempos. Descanse en Paz. Rest in Peace, we'll always love you, Michael.

[cinderellasweden]

I love the woman who says at 03:57

"Everybody loved Michael Jackson, and if you didn't, it was wrong with you".

[chop5414]

This is what i'm talking about, getting the point of view about Michael Jackson from the people who knew him best, The people who grew up with him, went to school with him...They know Michael better than anyone. great video

[AroundTheRegion]

thank you! ... i don't report news....i prefer human interest...the point is ....we as people make the difference.....we all need to just be nicer to one another.....it really is that simple!

[kapitangrant1]

the little girl told the truth "he was a good person"

we love you so much Michael

[arabiankn8]

We love you Michael forever KING of MUSIC

[AAMLfan]

The little girl brought my tears out.

Everybody mentioned his music...

But when asked what she knew about Michael, she said, "That he's a good person."

[kimismely]

Remember, what Michael used to say why he liked children so much? Because they're honest!

[dOpeeStarO1]

exactly ! some people should understand him more

[AroundTheRegion]

yes.....i hear you....i actually "unexpectedly" choked on the next question about michael doing alot for kids.

[coachbefcoachbef]

he was unlike any other performer.celebrated by billions all over the planet.he was`nt a crazy person a far cry from the tabloids and the scandals.he was still a young boy at 50.never had a beard on his face .love michael .RIP from pakistan

[kokatoo]

R.I.P from Singapore...we love michael!

[chi2capcornpvp]

My prayers and thought are with Mike's family!

[hilarioph]

Gone too soon now he is an angel

[9happygirl9]

Gary, Indiana I feel your loss. He was a gorgeous child, a talented man and a very decent and kind human being. Michael Jackson will always be in my heart.

[jfkjrlover]

The most articulate and thoughtful words came from the man at 7:22 with the two kids. He hit the nail on the head. RIP MJ.

[j7609]

Great interviews, very well done! It was neat to hear the stories from the people who grew up in Gary around the time of the Jackson 5 & to hear from the people who went to school with them & watched them practice at their home. It was also nice to see how many people were effected by his music in a postivie way but sad to see how much he is missed, yet understandable as the death of MJ is one of the biggest loses in the music industry ever, but he will never be forgotton! RIP to the King of Pop

[AroundTheRegion]

thank you!

[j7609]

You're so welcome ATR :) I really enjoyed this interview video you did, obviously in ode to Michael, but also because the interviews were well rounded, talking to a variety of people, from young to old & to hear the interesting & unique stories about the Jackson 5 & also now about his passing. Also, it was so nice to see how everyone all came together as a whole in loving memory of MJ, sharing memories & paying their respects. I think Michael would be so touched to see how much he is missed!

[wisemenx]

Cool, native of G.I.. Great to see my people.

[chunkybaby501]

That was very nice to hear and see;especialy what the the little girl said at the end ,i think that is exactly how the whole world feels .WE LOVE YOU MIKE.

[allets7]

This was great ! Thank you so much for uploading !

[AroundTheRegion]

My Pleasure.

[realrap18]

It was great looking at this :)

[freeforfreebogus]

This is one of the events that I am sure we will all remember where we were when we heard the news.

Rest in Peace Michael.

[stefanomoro]

Great video, great singing on "gone too soon". Thanks for sharing it. God bless Michael,

[AroundTheRegion]

thanks! but i had little to do with this but drive down there and ask the people the questions....i'm amazed everyday by the good will of people....its unfortunate that we can't just make the good things the news!

[dardaf904]

Your team is your team....
