I agree with you. I hate it how he is only popular because he has passed on. I loved him even before that. People just feel guilty for making fun of him and ignoring him. Thanks for submitting this, someone needed to say it

So what if I'm obsessed? Does that make me any less human?

R.I.P Michael Jackson...you will live forever in our hearts

Lol its funny cause a LOT of people(including me) listened to him since they were children, and even i didn't know what to think about certain allegations...but now actually bothering to review both cases, it fills me with nothing but shame now.

I listened to him when growing up, but i think it's a personal choice to believe the things the media and people said he did, than him not having done them, personally i don't think he did do half of the stuff which was said he did, i doubt he was as strange as the media portrayed him, but i don't think anyone will ever know the truth lol

hell yeah i did!! i always tried to moonwalk like him XD but i couldn't do it XD but im still trying lolz
though i cant say that i listened to him growing up or anything but i was obsessed with his dancing XD

but i rly hate people who didnt care if he even existed before he died acting as if they cared >_> especially the media just months ago it was all over the news that Michael was a pedophile and messed up stuff like that and they wanted to prove him guilty and what not and when he dies they go around shouting u will be missed king of pop =_= after all what they did. i dont get people these days, bastards >=[

lol i've been listening to him since i was 9 or 10! i even have 3 of his records,(The original Christmas album, Thriller and Bad). and a BUNCH of his songs!! XD i love this stamp!! XD

i'm really sorry to read all this...for a big part of my life i consedered michael jackson as a mean person because i trusted what the media said about him.
since he passed i started to inform myself on who he was...what he did...but all of this with GREAT respect for him. i'm 20 years old, so i'm not a stupid teenager fan that runs after every singer...i found someone special in michael. AND I REGRET WITH ALL OF MY STRENGHT NOT TO HAVE PAID RESPECT TO HIM BEFORE HIS PASSING...I AM TRULY SORRY AND I'D JUST LOOK FOR FORGIVENESS...

oh man I grew up watching Moonwalker thanks to my mom. She was a big fan. Thus her kids grew up liking him to. I'm probably the biggest fan out of my brothers and sister.

Normal kids watched cartoons...I watched moonwalker XD.

Man am I going to miss him. I tear up now and then because it's just so hard to come to terms that he's really gone.

His songs were recognizable to me. When someone would refer/say Thriller, immediately I'd think of The Zombies and MJ in Thriller. When AAF released their cover of smooth criminal. I was so-so. It wasn't until the last 2 or 3 years ago that I actually started listening to MJ's music regularly. Although it was only Billie Jean,Beat It,Thriller, and Smooth Criminal. I had the chance to buy The Essential Michael Jackson CD at a latin music store, but it was over 30$ last October of 2008. Bought an iTouch and bought the Thriller song in April or May and I got the e-mail receipt to prove it After his death I got into more of his other songs(they never showed on TV recently) and my siblings each bought their own MJ albums. So, yeah I listened to MJ's music even though it was his most popular songs and it's been in the past few years especially in 2008 due to the 25th Anniversary of Thriller.
