Man, that is so totally right about a Willy Wonka vibe! My hope is that people will respect Mr. Jackson's memory and treat the proceedings peacefully as a means of remembering him. I hope it will be an event where MJ fans show the world they understand his message, you know?

I am really upset re all the HYPE about Michael Jackson.....He made up all his alleged awards....beside his alleged
charitable donations........what DID he give the music world ????

POP, GOSPEL, ETC ON ......ELVIS PRESLEY.......NOT MICHAEL WHO ????? ELVIS PRESLEY WAS WAY A HEAD OF HIS TIME & WE ALL KNOW THE PERSONAL DRUG PROBLEMS HE HAD ...THANKS TO AN IDIOT DR.....WE ALL KNOW...THAT WAS A DIFFERENT ERA.......& WOW OH WOW...MICHAEL HAD A DRUG PROBLEM......WHAT A FRIGGIN HOOT....
SO FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS THAT THINK MICHAEL J. CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC.....I THINK NOT....
THERE WAS ONLY ONE KING & WAS AWARDED SO, MANY TIMES OVER & SOLD MORE THAN MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY WILL....UNLIKE M.J. MADE UP HIS AWARDS...& BIG DEAL ONLY "THRILLER" WAS HIS BIGGEST SELLER...LOOK AT ELVIS & HOW MANY SALES HE HAD ON ALL LEVELS ! ! ! !
ALSO...WE ALL KNOW WHY MICHAEL JACKSON MARRIED LISA MARIE PRESLEY......MICHAEL JACKSON.....JUST TO GET , OR TRIED TO GET THE RIGHTS TO ELVIS PRESLEY MUSIC....MICHAEL JACKSON YOU SCUM BAG TO TRY TO DO SO...SHAM ON YOU...THANK GOD LISA RECOGNIZED THIS EARLY ENOUGH...&
alleged charitable donations........what DID he give the music world ????
