I remember in the 4th grade before school started the teacher would let us play records in the class. It was almost always the Jackson 5. When I heard them on the radio I would always get them confused with the Osmonds. Then I was reintroduce by a friend who played Off the Wall for me and I was just amazed. It may be naive of me but I don't think he had a perverted bone in his body, just misunderstood. His memory truly is immortal.

I am 100% with you on that and anyone who has been paying any attention to him at all over the last several decades knows that. He's more of a confused child than anything else and just totally operating on pain.

Robin, your screen name is so appropriate. You always manage to bring clarity by putting words to the sentiments we struggle to express.

Thank you so much for that.

I one of those people that didn't feel anything when he died. To be honest he was a music legend but like Ike Turner. Music Legends have skeletons. He has nude paintings of boys(i'm told they were "legal") and gave alcohol to minors. That i can't turn a blind eye on.

Still it is sad when someone dieds...

But please know that I DO appreciate and respect your viewpoint and your comment. I just had to voice the other side.  Thank you and peace.

Hi! I apologize for just seeing this, but as you can see, I am still looking for MJ momentum. My first memory of him was with his brothers at the Apollo Theater, early 1968, during amateur night! It was my first time going to one of their talent shows, and I was 9 at the time. When they came out on stage, I remember thinking these young men are amazing, especially the youngest one, who performed like a seasoned adult! I told my friends right then, watch, they are going places! WOW! :)

Hello:)

Welcome back, Spokenlife! I haven't posted much, but have been watching your vids for over a year now. Congratulations on your life taking some great turns. I have to say, I have never been one to follow celebs much, but I started reading about Jackson after he died, and have come to similar conclusions. I think, though, that America needs to take some responsibility, and think long and hard about how we treat child celebrities. This forced adulthood has destroyed a lot of people's lives.

Well, my first memory is of him as a tiny kid, singing on TV - I believe it was American Grandstand. We have lost his future performances and contributions. I agree with you that he never had much of a chance to rest from his work. In the process of being who he was, he wound up losing his chance to have a life filled with the ordinary rewards that most of us take for granted.

What wonderful memories of MJ - sadly, I never got to see him in concert...

I've wondered if the burden of being so talented in so many ways just became too much & as you say - he needed to rest. RIP MJ

My heart goes out to his little ones...I grew up without my dad, I know how empty that feels..

i wish i culd of seen michael in person, im 18 yrs old and a fan. i miss him soo much, he was such a good person. thanx for sharing

[NotTooObvious]

the world is devestated. michael is a legend. i grew up watching the jackson 5 cartoon. so sad how those drs killed him. they took advantage of him and i hope they all go to prison. i would rather they be killed like they did to him. too bad he got in that accident with pepsi. he would be alive today, had he not. the world is less joyful without michael jackson. it will never be the same.

No more work for Michael Jackson. Time to rest. He was a very unique person!
