Rest in Peace Michael you will always be in our hearts!
Some people are bitter toward Michael, but I agree with Cristina, that we can't judge.
I will miss the Michael I remember and will continue to enjoy his music.
Donny had hits with "Go Away Little Girl" (number 1) and "Puppy Love" (number 2).
Donny sang with the brothers on "One Bad Apple" but it was not a part of his solo career.
Michael Jackson recorded the song "Ben" which was originally written for Donny to sing.
Michael had lots of talent, creativity,was an amazing entertainer. He did not have the loving family situation like Jimmy & his siblings grew up in. He did not have a loving/caring parents like Mother & Father Osmond. Donny, Marie & his brothers were allowed to be kid - I don't think Michael was allowed that luxury, to be just a kid. Very sad.
After reading these posts, you must feel pretty stupid and judgemental yourself right about now. Shame on you for your stereotypes.
His song on "Demerol" as shown on Larry King was very hearbreaking; I'm now more than ever so convinced that MJ cried for help in many ways, but the world did not hear him.
In this world, good men make mistakes, MJ was one of them, now beyond the veil, may our Good Lord keep him safe and rested in his bossom.
We love you Michael.
I grew up with the Jacksons and the Osmonds and I remember how much fun it was to see both families perform.
Thank you again for your reflection.
Long time MJ Fan
