"I am 33 y/o and have been a fan of MJ every since thriller! Had the signiture jackets and all. I'm also a fan of the Off the wall record as well as the time he made song about Ben...

I have never met MJ or gone to any of his concerts, since my city isn't a very big arena for him. The only people I'd pay to watch perform are him and Prince. I had scheduled my summer Holiday to Europe to see my ex girlfriend in Sweden along the time he was to be in England. Its very sad and very hard to relate the level of comfort he has given me when I have felt down or misunderstood. But as difficult it is to explain it is equally as easy to say that when my times were horrible I could listen to songs like Man in the Mirror and really do something positive to help someone and take my mind off my own issues. Get on the floor from Off The Wall also made me feel happy. There are so many musical instruments that MJ has done that I could retreat to and feel better about what is happening to me at time.

I can't imagine the loss that people that had faith in him as well as put up millions of dollars to support his effort of regaining his Legacy are thinking right now.

I will never get to see my Fav artist moonwalk across stage now or put up a flamed lighter to sho support on one of his many "save the world songs", but I do have a thought. The concert was to be held next month. Why not Have it anyway?

I mean have the many many of other artist that MJ has inspired to do songs in his honor..?

The world knows they will never see him live again which is sad, but I'd get up there andtry to do what glhe does myself out of admiration and respect for my fav person I've never seen or met. I think his fans would like that a lot as well as see other artists they enjoy paying a huge tribute to the guy that brought some sort of joy. RIP Michael Jackson."
