• Well Sandy Hopkins, if you can't see past something he was never convicted of, and look to his charity work and incredible music talent, then you are extremely narrow-minded and ignorant. He is a great loss to the world.

• What exactly are specific examples of Michael's charity work? I have seen several stories in which Michael is seen wondering into shops and without even really looking around he purchases expensive items. Stories about the charity work - ie children attending Neverland say that other people and Charities actually paid the expenses of getting the children there and providing hotels and such.

• It is, has always been, and will always be God who will judge every humanbeing on this earth. He says in his word by the same token we judge our brothers and sisters, so shall ye be judged also. Nobody on this earth is a perfect person, I am really tired of everyone making so much ofother peoples downfalls. Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes, EVERYONE, so who are any of us to judge anyone at all. Look at yourselves what secrets have you kept hidden and are still hiding. ou cannot hide from God, whether you believe or not. I wish we could all just stop being so judgemental.

• yes it's me again, Think about this also, Were any of you there when these allegations first came up, I think not. Put yourself in someone elses shoes. Just imagine if it were you being accused of this thing and you had done nothing. I can't make a call like that on anyone, I wasn't there and neither were you. I feel it best to stay neutral until you have absolute concrete honest proof of any situation, not just Michael's.

• Thanks ccaputo57 for making it CLEAR about Michael's charity work! I find it surprising that more people don't know about them! Besides his music, his charity work was his second biggest accomplishment. He's in Guinness Book of World Records for donating to the most charities. The man was awesome! I hope to accomplish a percentage of what MJ did in his whole life here on earth. There will never be another one like him. He will be missed greatly! I will love him forever.

• I don't care what negative things people have to say because apparently everything in the press is true...which it isn't. He was amazing and nobody these days could ever match up to what he's done for us. RIP Michael and thank you!

• you ccaputo57@live for that wonderful summarization of Michael's efforts and achievments. It is so overdue that Michael has not recieved the recognition he deserves for his humanatarian efforts. People are so quick to judge and believe media. Never investigating the real truth. If you hate him so much, why read and why comment? Are you God, can you see and know all? Stop hating and starting loving. That is all Michael ever wanted to do (plus music).
