tell that to his legions of fans number 82. And by legions, I mean the majority of the music industry and millions of people around the world.

And Van Gogh cut his own ear off. Define genius for me, please. I'd love you hear your opinions. The man never had a childhood, so of course his mind never left it. He wasn't allowed to grow up right. Even still, he had tremendous talent and influenced SO MUCH of the music industry. What the hell have YOU done with YOUR life!?

That doesn't change the fact that he was a prodigy.

To number 244. The man just DIED people. Show some respect for his mother at least; she has the ungodly task of having to bury her child, one of her youngest sons pretty soon. Have some class and show some respect. You don't have to like him to STILL show respect. He's gone now so there is no need for people to continue to be cruel. Just like the prosecutors you don't have proof to convict him. Don't believe everything you read and hear because people DO tell such lies for money. Michael was such an easy and vulnerable target too, so please stop speaking as if you know this man better than his family and please stop acting as if you know what you're talking about. The man is gone. Show some respect and move on for his mother at least. I'm just happy he's no longer on earth to read/hear these disrespectful, disgusting, rude, insensitive, and heartless comments (such as the one made by #244) about him anymore.
