Jackson famously dangled his newborn son, Prince Michael II -- also known as "Blanket" -- over a Berlin hotel balcony four stories up while greeting fans In November. He later apologized for the incident, calling it "a terrible mistake."

58Greg Smith - what a disgusting thing to say. I can only imagine what a prize you are.
What a load of crap (some) is being said here. First - he didn't adopt his children, they were carried by his wife, and another woman for blanket. Second - what decent person is happy someone is dead? Someone that had greedy little opportunists extort money out of him. Food for thought - what kind of person would take money from someone if their kid was really molested? They would want to see the offender have to own up for it. No, sadly that was just greedy little people, that also extorted money from other families. People only believe the worst in MJ. What about the millions of dollars he gave for sick children? When he left our earth,a very special sweet man went with him. I have listened to dozens of interviews of him, and he had a kind heart. His biggest downfall was his naivety. At least he had a good heart, not like the ones that continue to repeat the lies.......I know 100% those people live a sad small life. MJ is now resting in peace, thank God. This earth never gave him any, But he didn't give up. One last thing to think about. How awful can a man be that makes another record - selling out the most shows in the shortest period of time - for his last concert. While there are haters out there, there happily are many that loved him. Are they all not looking with their eyes open as was said below? Me thinks not!
Michael Jackson was a REAL person ..He knew the truth about our earth,he was a humanitarian.He was born with a soulful gift that was genuine love..He was not a molester or a child abuser,there are some REAL sick people out there in this world who want to take advantage of others and use them for their own benefit,perhaps even come up on some money because of their fame..Michael fell as a victim of these people he not only helped others he gave himself whole heartedly any way he could and if you really truly listened to his music than you could tell..I love Michael Jackson and his entire story.His legacy will remain forever and he will only make history ..Why because he was a remarkable human,not only ofcourse a great performer,perhaps one of the best..His music always told a story,he built bridges he wasnt no way near evil and like many might have had some substance abuse issues and had many doctors who he trusted to try to help him.Michael did not deserve what had happened to him.He was a father and a son and a brother a uncle,His children miss their daddy and they only speak of great memories..I believe that if he really truly was a bad man he would have been behind bars,God set him free,god reveals all truth and some jeaolus doctor did this to him,and hes the one that belongs behind bars thats the least,you cannot bring a man who changed the world back,but his legacy will go on forever..god bless MJ and his family and im so happy justice was served for the Jacksons today..R.I.P the king of pop..

I grew up listening to The Jackson 5 and then Michael's music. He was a very eccentric individual; he was never allowed to enjoy a normal childhood.........whether his kids are adopted or not, that is no one's business; they appeared to be very well taken care of.....We are very quick to believe any and everything the media has to say about anyone in the public eye; be it whom ever it may be !!!! He was shunned by the U.S..
I loved Michael Jackson for his good and his bad. None of us are in a position to judge him. We should celebrate his life and how he influenced the world. Instead of judging him it should be a very good lesson to each and everyone of us as to how it's important to give love to our children and raise them understanding that if they miss their childhood or we abuse them that they will suffer the consequences later in life. He was a tortured soul. As a society we built him up and then tore him down once we saw he wasn't "perfect". Let's each one of us learn that children need a childhood and a lot of love. We don't need to make them grow up before their time...even if they have talent. And as far as the comments on him being a perv...what parent would drop their child off to a grown mans house to hang out. Come on...I think adults need to take some responsibility here. As a society we are obsessed w/ fame...at all costs...even at the risk of our children.
Alice, you're blind. Michael Jackson although a talented, market genius performer.... was also a creepy, weird, junkie. The reason he was allowed to have adopted children was because he had money. Money doesn't buy happiness and he was a perfect example of that. He was a drug abuser of the worst kind and it killed him. Take a person for what they actually are for once in your life and not what they are on an album cover.
I grow up enjoying the music of Michael & The Jackson 5...I remember some friends & I threw a party to watch the premier of Thriller. Ms Tinikia Foster...I couldnt have said it any better....For you Michael...enjoy our Gods mansions....they cant try to take that away from you...forever loved & missed...until we see you again in heaven....I'll bet there is one hellacious jam session going on up there....The King of Pop.....the one and only !!!!!
People took advange of Micheal cause they knew MUICHEAL's heart. He loved people and woulf try to help[. Look at all thepeople that he poured his heart and soul espically to the chidren. I;m the same as micheal and i grew with his music and I still listen. that;s that I will never die with me. God bless his children and his family.Neverforget Micheal.
iKNOW THAR MICHEAL IS LOOKING DOWN ON US AND AND SEES HOW THIS WORLD HAS BECOMEAND FEELING SAD. GOD BLESS HIS CHILDREN.
Micheal Jackson loved his chiildren abd would never hurt anyone. HE hurt hisself becuace all yhings that people prtrade him as. I;m the same age as Micheal and I grew up with his music and still listen to his music. That is something will never die. He will always be in my heart. SOME people need to take a look at their on life. We are not to judge only God does and I know that M
he was the one who u cant imagin how e will ware during the show and whch step he will do he is the he is the king of pop,forever and every.peace.
You know this is why I'm glad that only God judges people and it doesn't matter at all what other people say. People have a habit of saying things that they hear and nothing that they know at all. So fyi when you all who feel the need to make negative comments about someone have the same or worse done to you, just know that you did it first. So if it's at work, school or where ever you might be and someone says something about you that just may not be true or might be offensive just take it with a grain of salt and remember how quick you was to make negative statements about someone and something you have no knowledge about.
the best part of micheal jackson ran down his moms leg. it was a sad day when he was born and a great day when he died cuz its just one less childmolester in the world
Greg Smith; the reason Micheal had rides on his property and sleep overs with kids was so he could relive his childhood. When he was a kid he never had time to do normal kid things. You don't know him personally, all you have to go on is the stories that the press twisted around. You cant wish death on someone for something you here on the tv or the radio, all that does is make YOU the bad person, not Micheal Jackson. Shame on you.
Hindsight being 20/20... MJ was a bit over-zealous to show off his baby. I really think he was simply excited but the picture was a small spin from crazy.
I love u
