HiitTheDirtBoys11:23 AMJun 29 2009"The DOCTOR is a world known HEART surgeon people! "Since when? Oh, yes, since Michael died, you're right, NOW he is known world wide. He is not a Heart surgeon, he is a cardiologist and obviously, not a very good one, who, by the way, is NOT board certified. He gave CPR on a bed with one hand? Please, good grief, does his lawyer actually think people are buying that? While Michael's years long abuse of drugs may have led to his demise, the mistakes of the Dr can not be overlooked. BTW, that Dr that you think did everything right for Michael, was also in huge debt, had one of his practices shut down and reporters on TV are still trying to find a hospital where he had admitting rights....stay tuned...this is going to get really ugly folks...

The DOCTOR is a world known HEART surgeon people! He knows his job! and did what he could... No one was in the room but him and Mike and a nurse. You have NO ground to stand on to be calling the doctor all these childish ridiculous names and say he didnt do his job. I think he handles Mike quite well with all the damage he did to HIMSELF. The poor doctor had to look at this black man who man a monster out of himself. Give the doctor some credit.

Micheal was a great man of music, no question about it. I loved his music. My heart goes out to his family at this sad time. But i did not agree with his choice to alter his appearence. Seems he wanted to look more white than his true race. Looking at his changed color, and hair one could easily tell. As a black man he was handsome, his change to someone other than himself, destroyed his looks, and quite possibly himself.

They were so worried CONCERNED about his use of pain killers but NOT sleeping with children... LOGIC for you...The only one I feel sorry for is Toya and his helpless mother. Celebrate his music NOT the man.

I watched the BET awards show to see the tribute. It seemed more of a tribute to Gangster Rap, with a few exceptions. I was appalled at the dress of these Black Artist, and I use the term Artists loosely. These famous men and women were disgusting in their attire. Other than Ne-Yo, the O-Jays, Alicia Keys, the rest are lousy role models for the African American community. I am very impressed with Ne-Yo. But if I were part of mgt at BET, I would be embarrassed. If this was to be a tribute, more of these artists should have sang more Michal Jackson songs, not their own. I thought Jamie Fox was an appropiate host. I thought his routine was good. However, when he sang his song, "Blame it on the Alcohol", the sensors came out, as they should have. I thought the African American community was trying to curb this style of singing. I guess I was wrong. Unfortunately, I fell asleep before Janet came out, as well as the final tribute. I would have liked to see it. All I can say, be ashamed BET f...

continued- most of the stars were there to be seen. This was MJ cake and they wanted a piece of it. It belonged to MJ only with all of the trimmings. GOD speed MJ. Your hurting days are over. You did not deserve all of the pain that was trusrt on you while in this world. You were not condemmed of any thing wrong in the courts. Some people just wantt o see your star fall and it never will. You were so unhappy all you were doing was trying to find your self in another person. You are as free as a bird now MJ and do not have to prove youe self to any one. Especially your father.

to DeRonzilina- Are you not speaking out of place. MJ died because his heart gave out . A person who is this ill can be right in the emergency room wih the best of equipment and best of doctors and still die from cardiac arrest . If you saw picturs of him lately in a wheel chair, then you should have known he was a very sick man. So you know CPR. So diid this doctor. He did all he could untill the medics got there. Stop playing GOD in MJ life. It was not a happy one and now he is at peace and you go learn that the best doctors in the world probably could not have saved him. He was to sick for to long and his heart just gave out. From a nurse who knew CPR and worked in hospitals for years. Saw this happen many a time. Not every one can be saved and all of us die from cardiac arrest regardless of the underlying issues. amen

Why do people keep saying rest in peace Michael ? The man passed away from an illness called abuse from an abusive father who abused all of his children. MJ feels nothing. Knows nothing. Sees nothing and hears nothing. His spirit is with the Lord. in another place we know nothing about. He is not lookinng down on us . He knows nothing of what is going on in this brutal world any more. I am sure the love of GOD gave him the peace he needed when the time came. As far as I can see and heard he was very upset over who would take care of his children. Hopefully not the father. Lets let the court figure this out and do what is best for these kids. Any thing that MJ did while in this world was due to the drugs he had to take to survive. That fogged his mind. You try doing what he did and tell me you would not need some pain killers for his body that was all worn out. Shame on all of you. Most of the stars were there to be seen and not for the right reason. MJ was a star in his own right...

i basically agree with joe jacksons approach to raising his children, without his persiverrance to push his sons and family, they would had stayed in gary,ind. there mother was the warmth and love, while joe was the strength and push. it kept them from straying to street gangs. more families need a joe jackson the dying breed of fatherhood. its called having 'hands on'.
