Loads of talent, not done a lot recently, odd upbringing, bit mixed up, died, sad - move on.
A more cynical man that I would say that it was to hype up some upcoming re-releases, or to fuel merchandising sales - but that would be a more
cynical man.... 
Whole thing is a circus...

More cynical man will be me then!! ^^^^^ 
Very sad yes - so many "stars" are losing the plot to greater or lesser an extent (Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan seem to
have all been adversely affected by fame). MJ lost it more than anyone and its clear that he never got to lead a "normal" life at all so
not surprising at all. As said - very sad but time to move on.

What a load of ignorant people you are, you are talking about someone's son, brother and father, have some respect, let him rest in peace.
Do any of you have children, if you do you should bear in mind that it might be your very young children attending your funeral one day.
Now get on with building your cars and keep these tasteless disrespectful comments off this forum.
This is not from Dave 107 but from his very angry wife!!!
did i not put "may he rest in peace " on the first post of this thread i created????????
i do not take kindly to being called "ignorant"
andy
i think the ignorant part refers to those with snide/disrespectful comments.
+1 to daves missus from me anyway. 
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

his estate benefits his mother, children and certain charities, as he wished. No reason at all why they would not continue to benefit from his legacy
in future. If you died and left a money spinner for your family, you'd want them to keep earning from it wouldnt you?

albums that i'm sure will come from this, and i've little doubt the Jackson will make a fortune in the next few months on the back of
MJ's name / death. He was undoubtedly a genius of a performer and overshadowed the rest of the family. Seems its thrown them back into the
limelight and i cant see them not taking advantage of it

I think he had a sad life. Nobody would have paid half the attention they did to him if he hadn't bought the Beatles catalogue from under
Paul's nose. Let's face it, the man was a goblin.

The wackiness continues!

Detroit -- Two hearses jammed with stuffed animals left in memory of Michael Jackson
were given a two-car police escort Friday to the toys' burial at Woodlawn Cemetery,
leaving police officials highly critical of the decision afterward.
