Why did America mourn? Well maybe because he was a global superstar who represented America and through many efforts strived for the advancement of humanity through his music, donations and charity - He was an American pop star since he was a child thus America becoming very familiar with this prodigy. Face it, Michael is one of the most famous ppl on this earth, so why was it such a shock that the media was all over his death?

what an ass!

Itt's true that MJ was an artistic genius and revolutionized the world of pop music but come on people! He built an amusement park in his backyard to lure children! Shouldn't that at least raise eyebrows?

Judge not lest ye be judged. Seems all you angry christians on here forgot about that part of the bible (along with the rest of it)...during your angry defense of a child molester.

has anyone notice that the title "King of Pop" spells out "KOP" (cop)? LOL.

MJ "patrolled" hollywood and "arrested" musical violators through his songs and held "prisoners of war" at his concerts and "jailed" all wanna-be's without the possibility of parole!

I think that was corny but it's mine.

Bill is just mad that this black african american man had every white hollywood BITCHES by his side (Liz Taylor) and on his arm (brooke sheilds) and in his bed (Lisa marie). Then another WHITE BITCH offered to have HIS babies!

you're angry this black man's dick fucked every lily white pussy out there and didnt get hung for it and you're mad you cant go into any store and have it shut down the way MJ did and SHOP TIL YOU DROP the way Michael could!

MJ:"Gimmie this,and that,and two of those!"

[721rem]

BILL YOU ARE JUST MAD THAT YOUR WHITE PASTEY FACE WILL NEVER REACH A SECOND OF WHAT MICHAEL HAD.

Michael only dies once so of course the media is going to cover it for months. Michael's coverage even from the grave has more depth and substance than the living idiots the media covers today!

the world isnt loving MJ because of his work, they love MJ because of how he loved the world. why not cover the stories about the thiings he did off camera and under cover in helping others ?????????????

[721rem]

AMERICA IS NOTHING LIKE MICHAEL, OK?

AMERICA IS NOT NICE, IT DOESNT HELP ITS OWN, IT ISNT TALENTED AT ALL, IT ISNT LOVING, IT ISNT CUTE, AND IT DOESNT OVERLOOK FAULTS IN YOU NOR OTHERS, MICHAEL HOWEVER DID.

AND AS FAR AS DRUGS ARE CONCERNED, THE MAN HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 84 WHICH OPENED THE DOOR TO PAIN MEDICATION DEPENDANCY. IN SPITE OF ALL HIS HELL AND HURT, MICHAEL STILL STAYED HUMBLE, QUIET, LOVING, FRIENDLY AND A RESPONSIBLE FATHER TO HIS KIDS UNLIKE ALOT OF OTHER CELEBS OUT THERE!

@GenVirtu Ouch, mean spirited, judgmental, jealous, narrow, and low, not true, & yes, sadly, Bill Maher.

[GenVirtu]

OUCH....but sadly true.

Bill Maher I really respect a lot of your views and it's really hard for me to dislike you. BUT WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TOUCH MICHAEL. He is my favourite artist of all time. And I have to side with him on this. I agree with you on almost everything. But with this, YOU CAN GO AND STICK UP YOUR ASS.
