Michael Jackson is more than a musical icon, he was a humanitarian and his final tour was a moonwalk to heaven!

I LOVE this! Thanks for sharing some positive information about Michael Jackson for a change. Anyone who watched Rev. Sharpton's preaching at the Ap0ollo this afternoon knows what I am talking about.

Yes and he would give a bed to anyone in need. As long as you were under 12.

Moonwalk to Heaven?
Pedophiles don't go to heaven. They go somewhere else.

Michael Jackson was and was found innocent in a court of law. I find it disturbing and sick that while attacks on his character continue, people seem complacent to forget that historical fact. And, with his death, people likewise continue to spew unsubstantiated and hurtful myths; they would rather focus on unnecessary comparisons to Elvis and drug use rather than on the fact that it took Dr. Conrad Murry 30 minutes to call for help, and, that CPR was improperly performed. Thank you, Christine!:)! For this service to michael and to the public at large (not just the fans). Kudos and more to you for laying out the truth of Michael Jackson's Moonwalk to Heaven!:)! Rip, my King of Pop. Let God hold and Kiss you Babe..........you've certainly earned it.

Fuck you all who STILL think he is a pedophile. You're ignorant. Read some damn facts before posting your bullshit online.
RIP Michael.
