Comment: MICHAEL JACKSON IS JUST LIKE HIS MOM SHOWING KINDNESS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND TODAY SHOWS IT ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE ARE ALL GONNA MISS HIS MUSIC AND NO ONE WILL BEAT HIM IN HIS MUSIC AND DANCING. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL AND SHOW THEM UP IN HEAVEN OF WHAT YOU GOT AS YOU DID ON EARTH. from BIDDEFORD, MAINE by JAMES
Comment: I can't believe that people are so upset about the pedefile dieing.Also this also shows that the media has no interest in covering important issues like the theft of our rights and childrens futures by a socicailist president and congress. from sanford by j
Comment: I think Michael Jackson is getting too much attention. He was a good signer, but O.J was a good foot ball player also. What do people think about when they here his name. Well I think of Michael Jackson as nothing but a petafile. from Sanford by Dennis
Comment: Doesn't matter what pepole write.Your only going to reconise the Good Side of Jackson.He still a child molester.Won't be missed from me.So bury the PedafileHestarting to Smell from Portland,Me. by Dallas B
Comment: My favorite Michael Jackson moment is when Judge Judy was on WGME instead of the memorial. Thanks. from So. Portland by Jim
Comment: Thank You for the memories without your music my childhood would have never been the same! You are a legend and your music is and will always be AMAZING! Thank You MJ from Kennebunk by Beth
Comment: OMG this is so so sad, Goodbye Michael we will see you again someday, You were the best and you will be missed,until we meet in heaven RIP Michael. from Auburn by Dolly
Comment: Enough!! He was a great musician but have we forgotten that we still have young men & women dying over seas so that we can celebrate in such a grandiose style or has the war ended???? by Sam
Comment: Michael no doubt about you by far you are definately the king of pop and will always be for ever and ever you will kick butt just as bad up there as you did down here you will never be forgotten. " God Bless you Forever. " from Standish by Ron
Comment: Thank you for the years of great pop! You will never be forgotten! from harpswell,me by Nova-Lee
Comment: I am very disapointed in the media coverage on this topic. I am sorry to see someone pass away, but Mr. Jackson is no better of a person than anyone else. I care more about the soldier who died in a foreign country serving for us, rather than some music performer that had hits from the past. People are forgetting his relations w/ other people's children (ie. letting them sleep in his bed). I feel sorry for his children, but this type of coverage is rediculous. We just celebrated the 4th of July & all we hear on TV the past 2 wks is M. Jackson. Our country's morals & ethics are not in proper order. from Saco by Steve
Comment: I feel bad for his family BUT I am not so sure he is the KING they all claimed on the farwell show ? from lisbon by lou
Comment: May he finally find peace, happiness and comfort. from Augusta, Maine by Melissa
Comment: goodbye Michael... whats wrong with all these people. they treat him like he was GOD!!! wake up America and the world!!
Comment: Sorry, but I'm happy the hype is all over. It's a shame he died so young but he's just a human being like everyone else. There are thousands of "ordinary" people who have contributed considerably more to society who get no recognition at all. by Sue
Comment: MJ, Now you can finally Rest in Peace! from Saco,Maine by Deborah
Comment: You've been in my life since I was just a little kid (and you were too.) I thank you for every song I ever danced to and for the legacy of your love of human and wildlife. from Portland, ME by Starr
Comment: I hope everyone remember you for the good things you have done. The words to many of your songs can have such a positive impact on peoples lives. May you finally find peace and happiness. from Bethel by Kathy
Comment: michael was the best dancer ive ever seen i wish he never died i will miss him p.s. my favorite song was thiller from portland,Maine by rocco
Comment: I was chosen in my 7th grade year to sing a solo in front of my school.I sang Ben,it was a great song.I hope that people in the media remember his children are seeing the awefull part of his life that the media drags up.He was never proven guilty from Buxton Maine by Dan
Comment: please go lay down. Enough is enough. from Augusta, Maine by Jerry
Comment: Thnaks for the talent you inspired and left as legacy for your children from West Bath, ME by Suisan
Comment: I was never craxy about his music in the 1980s. Howver, I liked the mmusic that he recirded earlier in his career. from AUBURN, MAINE by PATRICK
Comment: If M J had been in jail, where he should have been he would still be alive today, but now all kids are finally safe. from Rumford, ME by Fred
Comment: It upsets me that his service was turned into a circus and aired all day. There are more important issues and events going on in the world. He owed roughly $300 million when he died, yet California taxpayers foot the bill for a $3.8 million memorial? If he was so supportive of children and hunger, why didn't this money get donated to this type of cause? Homeless people don't get $45,000 gold caskets, it should be no different for MJ. I'm sorry for his family that he passed away, but enough is enough. Some lines have to be drawn. from Sanford by Tonia
Comment: may the angels of god led you to our heavenly father he has the love that you needed M.J for along time you won't need to feel lonesome again love u Mike from buxton maine by kimberly
Comment: Your memory lives on ,you are definitely the king of pop. i will never forget you or your music. you we're so talented in so many ways. my heart goes out to your family and to your children. from Warren Maine by Cindy
Comment: michael you taught the world how to sing dance and love one another regardless of race good luck from Augusta / ME by stephanie
Comment: You would be proud of your memorial service and of Paris. We are reminded to tell people we love that we do love them while they are here, not after they are gone and can't hear it. Thanks Michael. from Farmington, Maine by Dorothy
Comment: We'll all miss you in the many years to come Micheal. You're music will live on, and so will you in our hearts. from Biddeford, Maine by Carrie
Comment: Michael was more than an icon, more than a celebrity, more than a star. Michael Jackson was a world wide inspiration, not only for his music, but the kindness of his soul. He had such a heart that couldn't help but glow. I feel blessed to even know who Michael Jackson is! Michael, I love you, I wish you were here, but I find comfort in knowing you're finally at peace. I'll see you someday.
Comment: my heart and prayers go out to the family and the children i have always listened to his music. so farewell to the king of pop. my you be at peace. from gorham by susan
Comment: THANK YOU MICHEAL FOR GIVING OF YOURSELF TO SO MANY IN SO MANY WAYS,WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU,FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.MAY GOD BE WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY. from Lisbon, Maine by Lisa
