i was hoping they would release some of these pics..i also hope that we get some video of the rehearsals to see what it was gonna be like

this is so sad still

mike looked like he was having a great time..i think he woulda really made a lot of people put their foot in they mouth…i think his performance woulda been dope..

RIP MIKE..never be another like you

ps..mike you had fabulous hair hunnie!!!

SUCH A SHAME HE NEVER GOT TO DO THAT TOUR. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE HIM GET BACK TO DOING WHAT HE LOVED.

Man!!! I swear I’m gonna be first even if it is a MJ post!!!! I keep getting closer and closer. I don’t even care what it’s about anymore. I will comment on an add for Immodium AD if they put one up just to be first!!!

I love Michael Jackson, Such a talented artist.

Rest In Peace MiKE!

if they do replace his concert with tributes i hope they are with the A list in music

whitney..mariah…diana…etc….

noone is gonna wanna go see the game call mike his nig**a on stage

Devastating. I love you Michaelllllllll!

Miss you!

awww

love you michael

michael looked like he was having a great time

and that would be a good idea, to hold a memorial concert

Buggin.
Am I the only one that feels Michael wasn’t suppose to die(immortal)?
I guess what I’m trying to say is Michael was and is Forever being = Someone you can never forget or stop missing,like your mother or father.
God please watch over Prince,He’s all we have left.

~Luke James xiii

My prayers go out to Michael and his family. Our Society must get out of the way we characterize, and persecute people when they are living. The Media helped build Michael, as well as his brothers (Jackson 5) up in the early 70’s and throughout, however, after Michael acknowledged some uncomfort business practices with Sony, and their President of Sony at the time, the media went into a let’s tear Michael down rampage. Now that Michael is gone, but not forgotten, the same Media outlets are now wanting to give Michael his props, and saying how good he was as an entertainer, and as a humanitarian. He has always been as such!!! God knows, and knew where Michaels’s heart was, and I am sure he is at peace.

i love how even in just a rehearsal mike showed up wearin glittery show stoppin clothes lol

and u can tell it wasnt a dress rehearsal

go head mike

He looked happy and excited…since he had to die…he died in the mist of what he loves to do…perform and entertain.

i was watchin the news yesterday and they showed that clip when mike was goin to court and all his fans was out there and dis dude jumped up on top of that SUV like it wasnt nothing lol–wasnt healthy my a**

mike was hilarious..only guy i know who bout to go to court and can jump up on that car and start dancin lol

thats how you know he had a clear mind when he went in there..mike didnt do anything..

Go Away

You were music, you were more than sane
And the world appreciated you for who you were …we all felt your pain but you
You gave your all until the end , you are so loved…Michael, why did u go away…
It hurts so bad, o how my heart feels so so sad, but inspired if you only knew the effect you had on me and my future…a talent no one could ever touch. But the reason that they might even try is specifically to pay tribute or try to fill the void that your fans now have. I know god will take care of you, u are in perfect hands and a perfect heart….but why ..why is the question that I must ask …

The world is in complete frustration and anguish….if we only could rewind to the past…. One more dance, one more song , one more album, or one more performance would maybe heal the millions of hearts that are hurting …but then again I know that we would only miss your presence more, your music is truly what the world yearns for…

Your music spoke to billions of people on this earth, your lyrics made people feel that someone understood them and it’s so sad….. There is a melancholy stillness that will forever exist in your dedicated fans hearts..but we will learn to cure it with the soothing words and sounds of your music and the soundtracks to our lives.

Your personal struggles are all besides the fact, I never cared about the rumors and the lies. I just cared that the media try to murder you. And ridicule .you. With such a kind and sincere heart…a man who gave back not for show but from the heart .. Michael , I can believe you are gone…my heart cries out for your mother. Who loved you unconditionally and never judged u …..my heart dies for your children who have to grow up in life without their beloved loving father…the world seems so cruel at times… and something doesn’t feel right.. I wish you could have stayed ……Micheal, you will be more than missed…it’s devastating that you had to go away

angel post my poem

@ #9–No, you’re not the only one. I feel the same way.

agree 12, he did die do what he loves - enduring all that hard work to make a comeback. It put extreme pressure on him. I see no difference from when he was 21.(dancing wise) But obviously his body did.In michaels situation it wasnt mind over matter. He was ill half of the time.

co sign 10. very true..

@ 5. I knw where your coming from. I wasnt feeling it when game stated the N word in the tribute.Im 20, but from day my ears heard his music - i havent heard michael utter that word was utered from his lips. There is no other like him. Only 1 & always will be.Truly humble & respectful.

—- He looks cheerful - he said he was most comfortable performing & being o stage. You definately can see the twinkle in his eyes. I wanted in see him in London. It is unfortunate. Still in disbelief. Been rewinding his videos since thurs. I love dirty diana, beat it(is my fav) and heal the world. (It like listening to them the 1st i heard them. So fresh & raw.The up tempo songs make me want to get up & imitatae his moves. The sad ones are tear jerkers.

death is so wierd. i dont think any of the people in these pictures would have suspected that he would be gone a month later. its heartbreaking ans spinechilling.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

we love you!

This is very shocking and life changing. Michael was and still will be the greatest entertainer ever. He will be greatly missed.

~Suga

R.I.P Michael

MJ died for his fun, we’ll knew he after all those surges he wasn’t the same anymore (physical) and had to take pain killers after each rehearsals and accidental took to much and happened what happened, so he died for US

On a brighter note…Here is how Michael’s music is making an impact on people. These are prisoner I believe from the Philpines. They all made this withing the past several hours in his tribute…What a difference Michael has impacted the world and our lives….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK25cfzdTTg#

Awe Mike…. im gonna miss you, only god knows how the concerts would have turned out. I think what upsets me most about his death was the fact that he died so lonely and that he wasn’t truly happy deep down, despite being loved by so many he didn’t really feel loved per sae…if you get what i mean. But atleast hes not suffering anymore on the otherside.

R.I.P MJ we will miss you…

MJ^^^ may have not been the same physically after …… But its not about that. It was still michael. Maybe not aesthetically.But you could see his aura of his soul thorugh his eyes..That twinkle. The body turns to dust. It’s the soul that moves on.He has a beautiful soul… R.I.P Michael xx

@ 21 i catched that on the news. It’a superb. Michael inspired every age,background and ethnicity.Beautiful.

Still in mourning…..

i just watched youtube, and according to jesse jackson, 7 michael jackson fans have committed suicide. The pain of his death was just too much for them.

Michael Jackson was HEAVEN SENT!!! No one like him….only time will tell if there will be someone better.

This is gonna sound weird, but I am glad MJ died when he did….Because the people that were out there for his money would have paraded him around like a court jester to pay “debt” and for greed.

Now the people that have shamed his name (the media) can see how they took his music and greatness as a person for granted. We all have!! I spent about 4 hrs looking at his videos yesterday and I am sad to see him go, But HAPPY cuz I know he is in a better place where only God judges man.

Love you MJ! RIP the greatest entertainer of all time

i have heard the same thought repeated in the last few days, i believe ‘will iam ‘of the black-eyed peas said it too. when the news spread of the departure of this icon. it felt to me, also that the axis of this earth [rotation] has slowed in its spin . i mean you could or [i] can feel it. see you at the crossroads my brother MR. M.J. JACKSON……….

I’m still shocked and saddened by this. It is constantly on my mind and I really am not sure why. Yesterday I visited the Jackson Family home in Encino and saw all of the messages that fans have left for MJ, but it is still sooooooo unbelievable. My prayers are with him and his family.

#5 totally agree w/ you. Game should have displayed some moral dignity especially since Michael was old enough to be his father! Wasn’t like he was making a tribute for Tupac or something.

Has anyone else noticed from these recent pictures (including the Times tribute) that MJ had strikingly large hands for his frame. I heard a reporter on Access Hollywood speak of this but i’m just beginning to notice it.

@ 26 the first of many I’m sure…the idea that Janet will lead a tribute tour with the family is pretty exciting, but, not the same without Michael.

damn still cant believe he’s gone

Michael…You will always be “The King of POP” to me forever!!!
This rehersal just shows he gave 110%, even when fans and the
public wasn’t around. He cared about honing his craft just that much.
It would be so special and caring if the original Jackson 5 , Randy
and Janet would perform in his place. This would be the opportune
time for the Jacksons to put aside all of their creative differences,
and problems and honor Michael with a one of a kind tribute concert.
I know all of his fans would treasure this concert in person and on dvd
for years to come.!!!

What hurts the most, is knowing I’ll never get 2 attend THE MOST UlTIMATE CONCERTS OF ALL CONCERTS. That is what really hurts me 2 my core.

LONG LIVE THE KING!!! Love ya babe,

awww..my this is still so so sad…

Dear Jacksons, Randy, Reebie and of course Janet:
I sure hope you read these messages and take my suggestions
to heart. First of all, I am sorry for your lost. May God be with you in
your time of sorrow. And secondly, please reunite and start giving
concerts singing old Jackson 5 hits, Micheal’s songs and new material.
Your millions of fans would love to see all of you back together
and would treasure this for years to come.

To see him so happy in these pics really hurts. He was ready and looking forward to it and if he had lived and came to the US to tour I woulda loved to see it. I will never get that chance.
This is still so sad and I have been looking at MJ videos all weekend on MTV Jams and VH1 Classic and it is a damn shame such a talent is now gone!!!! RIP Mike.

RIP MJ….THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD WILL MISS YOU FOREVER:( NO ONE WILL EVER GRACE A MIC LIKE YOU, WRITE OR PRODUCE A TRACK LIKE YOU OR EVER HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FROM THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE LIKE YOU DID…YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO EVERYONE ESPECIALLY TO UPCOMING WRITERS AND PERFORMERS LIKE MYSELF….MAY YOU REST PEACEFULLY….:-)

For people upset with the GAME for calling Michael , my n@@@, please remember Mike loved gangsta rap. Loved Dre as a producer and beat maker. Mike used real thugs in his videos, and most importantly Mike has the word in his song. Mike did a song with Notorious BIG and in the song, Nortious said, I’m a kill a n@@@, I ain’t joking. It’s on the second cD of the History album. And we don’t know how Mike talked when he converse with the rappers he meant, or around his boys Cris Tucker, Magic, etc. Mike from what people who knew and meant him was real cool and nice, so he probably call his boyz my ni@@@. I, think people would be surprise by the Mike we knew and the everyday Mike. Mike had thugs in his videos, apart of him probably was street. lol. We don’t know. Mike by his own admission would go to S.C.L.A. and watch the kids breakdance, and use it. Mike could have been throwing down. lol. He always played a gangsta in his videos.

7 suicide?! horrible.

@13

He really wasn’t healthy though.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/...05DC-923_472×424.jpg

Jesus Christ he was pushing himself to do this concert

These aren’t exclusive, these were on his website.

I wonder who they will have do this tour if it goes down. Mike looked so happy and ready to get this tour off and entertain people like he loved to do. Man such a tragic lost to our generation that he left the way he did.

I HOPE THAT THEY DO A TOUR WITH ALL THE CELEBRITIES.. IM SOO THERE IF THEY DO .. GOSH I JUST CAN’T GET OVER THIS…

LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

he is rockin that balmain shirt! love him

r.i.p. michael

@ # 40 THAT WAS AWESOME ARTICLE YOU FOUND ON MJ. VERY TOUCHING ONE OF THE BEST ARTICLES I HAVE YET TO READ ON HIM. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

I love you MJ!! Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us. May God continue to bless and protect your family, especially your children.

Words can’t express the sorrow I feel that Michael has left us, I take comfort in knowing he’s in a better place, and hope all the well wish’s and prayer’s help sustain the Jackson family during this trying time.

RIP to the Gr8est. He would be so disappointed in the BET awards tribute.

@50 i so agree it was terrible and it would be sad if mtv pulls off a better tribute

RIP
MICHEAL.J.JACKSON
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND LOOK TO U 4 INSPIRATION
I WILL NOT BELIEVE THOSE LIES
THEY SAY ABOUT YOU

I HOPE U R IN HEAVEN RESTING
WITH GOD

RIP AND BLESSINGS TO UR FAMILY AND CHILDREN

God Bless and keep the whole Jackson family and all of his REAL friends in light of their tremendous loss. He seemed to be a gentle, humble spirit who wasn’t appreciated the way he should’ve been while he was here on Earth. This should be a lesson to us to celebrate Black celebrities who are doing positive things & to love and appreciate the people in our lives WHILE they’re still here with us.

No one will ever make music like this man again!

@ 50 / 51
BET Awards had it own itinerary. It has been in the works for months.
KING MJ died suddenly.
U think in 3 nites they could do a proper tribute 2 MJ’s 30yr career?
Calm down.

MJ deserves a proper tribute & I am sure 1 is in the works.
They need 2 do it w Mya, Ciara, Usher, NeYo, maybe CB is his probabtion officer allows it.

@54
Bet said they had a tribute for michael they brought out new edition and tevin campbell and i think they were awful ok jamie was a good host but that ish in the beginning was a mess and if u enjoyed thats u but i didnt

FOR REAL THAT SHOW SUCKED!

FAIL TO EVERYONE WHO PERFORMED
EXCEPT NE-YO, MAXWELL, AND THE O’JAYS

DRAKE, WEEZY, CIARA, NEW EDITION, GUY, TREY SONGZ ALL SOUNDED ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TARAJI, TYRESE, AND VING RHAMES…A MESS! (ALTHOUGH IT WAS KINDA FUNNY)
BEYONCE…..A MESS!

H.A.M.
BUT IT WAS B.E.T SO I SHOULDN’T BE SURPRISED

JANET WAS BEAUTIFUL

I agree @50 & 51-I ONLY watched BET’s Awards to see a moving tribute to MJ-and I was disappointed but not surprised. It is BET of course. They tried to do too much. The “tribute” part of the show should’ve been reserved for one part of the show. Even that I couldn’t take seriously when they have Jay-Z singing D.O.A.-very inappropriate all around.

I did tear up seeing Janet say that Michael is an icon to us but he’s family to her. Jamie tried-but the producers weren’t cooperating. Thank God Michael was far from that mess! Unfortunately-BET is consistent in letting it’s viewing audience down.

SOME OF THE ENTERTAINERS SEEMED TOO SELF ABSORBED TO GIVE MICHAEL HIS JUST DUE. JAY Z BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED MIKE’S PASSING, KEISHA COLE DIDN’T ACKNOWLEDGE MJ’S PASSING AT ALL, MONICA SAID VERY LITTLE, KANYE WEST SHOULDA JUMPED ON STAGE AND GAVE HIM A SHOUT OUT AS MUCH AS HE BITES OFF OF HIM. TREY SONGZ GAVE MJ HIS PROPS AND SO DID MARLON WAYANS.

This is a great news!! so, for celebration, I want to recommend you lonely guys who hate lonely nights a great online club to meet your activity partner, romance and lover, either for heat or passion: __BigTalls C om___ the most popular place for hot modelss, handsome men meet and mingle! u might be surprise what u end up with!!LOL

AFTER WATCHING THAT H.A.M. OF A SHOW IT JUST MAKES ME APPRECIATE MICHAEL EVEN MORE.

CNN WAS THERE REPORTING FROM THE SHOW & IT WAS NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION AT ALL.
BET SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT THEIR SHOW THE ORIGINAL WAY & ALLOWED PEOPLE TO MAKE COMMENTS IF THEY WANTED THEN DID A “REAL” TRIBUTE SHOW LATER ON WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN ACTUALLY SING. (AFTER WATCHING THIS SHOW I CAN NO LONGER DEFEND CIARA WHEN PEOPLE SAY SHE CAN’T SING. KERI SHOULD NEVER MAKE ANOTHER DISS SONG EVER AGAIN. SOULJA BOY’S RECORD CONTRACT SHOULD BE SET ON FIRE IMMEDIATELY. VING RHAMES NEEDS TO BE B!TCH SLAPPED. DON CORNELIUS NEEDS TO BE IN A NURSING HOME.
I WILL GIVE BOBBY BROWN CREDIT FOR NOT BEING HIGH DURING THE SHOW

#60- LMAO

I think in the amount of time they had, they did OK. It could’ve been a lot better and I really hope they put together a real tribute. Neyo was amazing,though.

I’m still in shock and partly in denial over this whole situation. I hope the media (real media) continues to honor MJ’s legacy and respect him for the true icon and genius he really IS. Because we all know sh!t is about to get really ugly. We can’t let them tear MJ down.

Angel-Love the background!!

Did yall notice Micheal died 25th of June, Aaliyah da 25 of August, Left Eye the 25th of April, and James Brown 25th, of December… :0 Um, i think famous black entertainers need to beware of the 25th…

Thats weird. RIP to them all

Michael Jackson We miss you and love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just want to see if my new pic shows up.

I love you Michael!!!!!!!

I Love You Mike!

all I have to say is WHO IN THE HELL TOLD CIARA TO SING!

M.J. you will be miss…..God open his arms and you enter…. with a song in your heart.

@XIII: It is not you alone sweetheart. Michael was not suppose to die. I mean yes we are all going to go, but Gone To Soon. I miss him sooooooooooo much. The world stood still when the tragic news got out. I will NEVER stop missing him, his genius, his ICON his legend.

Michael: I wish you could be here to see how YOU brought the world to its knees.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! MISSING YOU FOREVER!

I HAVE BEEN SAD AND CRYING ALL WEEKEND BUT ONCE I STARTED WATCHING THE MEDIA COVERAGE AND HOW THEY ARE REALLY TRYING TO DRAG HIS NAME THROUGH THE MUD..I STARTED TO FEEL SOMEWHAT GLAD THAT HE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS BULLSH!T. NO MORE PEOPLE TO LEECH OFF OF HIM FOR MONEY, NO MORE PEOPLE WITH FRIVOLOUS LAW SUITS, NO MORE PEOPLE STILL CALLING HIM A PEDOPHILE, NO MORE PEOPLE CALLING HIM A SELLOUT OR WACKO JACKO, NO MORE STUPID JOKES, ETC.

I really feel like it wasn’t his time to go, he still had more to do, more lives to touch. this hurts so much, I’ve been a michael fan since a little girl. im praying for his family. Rest in peace Michael Jackson.

Awwwww!!! He looks so excited about the tour!! I know he really wanted to give it his all and I feel deep in my heart that’s what killed him!! MJ always wanted to please his fans and he knew he couldn’t this time, because of his health!!! That’s what killed him!! R.I.P MJ

i read an article with michael children nanny and from what shes saying michael and his family is twisted i dont care that his music was good there was alot of stuff going on that just not right

OMG….I feel soooo privileged to have been able to grow up watching and enjoying the music and perfect performances of this incredible being, my heart and prayers go out to the family and to all who are hurting right now, my heart is so torn, I haven’t had a decent night’s rest since Thursday. It’s like I lost a family member. He will never be duplicated for sure! Maybe now he can have the peace that he longed for. RIP MJ LOVE U FOREVER

Well,

All I can say is Michael will always be the best Pop star that ever lived. There will never be anyone better. It’s funny how he left this world a year or so after his icon James Brown did. All the Greats are slowly passing on. I pray Michael’s soul is at peace. I really believe Michael had it rough all of his life. I also believe that he was a very fragile person inside and out, that’s where the self mutilation with the surgeries and thing like that came into play. He was on display all of his life and I think after awhile that will distrub anyone’s psyche. He was just another human being, just touched by God with his gifts. I hope that he didn’t molest those kids and things like that, because we will never really know what went on…His father Joe Jackson made Michael the Great Entertainer he is, but with too much discipline, and I think that affected his psyche over the years as well. But, you know black parents back in the day felt that this was the only way to ensure that their child becomes something great, through strict disicpline and I think Joe had good intentions, but it definately affected Micahel in some kind of way.

I just hope that people will remeber Michael Jackson for his talent and humanitarianism. I hope they don’t make his death into a more publicity extravaganza. I think they should do all of his memorials and celebrate his life. Then let him rest. I believe that’s why God is taking these celebrities b/c they need rest from the publci eyes, and for the public to focus more on the Master which is God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. It’s time we look up to Jesus instead of man. Michael was only a man, used by God to inspire!

Rest in Peace Michael, and thanks for all the years of great music that continues to touch us all!!!

@62 White famous ppl should be aware of the 25th too… did you forget about Farrah Fawcett?

That’s looks like Darryl Phinnessee standing next to him. I would like for somebody to shed some light on who this man really was. I believe he was caring and naturally a good person. Good people are often taken advantage of by opportunists. I miss Michael and love his music. He is the biggest entertainer in the world and no one can change. Not even the white folks. Yes, he’s bigger than Elvis and the Beetles. This funeral will be the largest memorial and his death will be talked about for years to come. It’s sad but I feel that he’s in a better place now without the worry and stress. RIP My baby Michael.
