MJ did things no other person had ever accomplished, yes accusations were made of child molestation and he was found innocent, weird, strange and innocent and a shame that darkens his life. As a whole he accomplished much in music and many people will miss him. As the saying goes, "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him" and so it is with Michael Jackson. RIP Reply

Think about how massive he would be if he didn't go insane and was able to carry over his early 90s success. Jesus and you think the Jonas Brothers are a big deal.
