Deeply Saddened about Michael - Oprah please do a special tribute

Posted on Jun 26, 2009 7:32 AM

Oprah, I recently watched the interview you did with Michael years ago. It was one of my favorite interviews with Michael ever! After hearing the news about Michael yesterday, It really brought home how precious and short life is. It is so hard to deal with a sudden death like this. I didn't expect it and just wasn't ready to deal with it. I grew up with Michael and the Jackson 5 from the 70s. His music touched everyone globally. There will never be another Michael. Oprah I am writing this hoping you can do a special tribute show on Michael Jackson that only you can do to help those mourning cope. I can't think of any show that could do it like you. I need it, Amercia needs it, the world needs it. Please help us mourn. Eternal Rest unto him.

I'm just here to say that I love Michael too! Since his death, I have become fascinated by the man, and the entertainer. I once believed like others, the molestation charges to be truth. Since his death, I think I see more clearly what that whole mess was all about. I would love to see a show about him again. I believe only God, and Oprah, know how to put that show together.

aisley, you are so dramatic. There was only one and it wasn't an attack on you. I have a copy, when the moderator deleted it they sent me a copy of my post and it was basically saying the same thing that I had post.

I basically was just stating that you are not perfect yourself, nobody is. We all have faults. Your first post in here was an attack on Michael Jackson and it was very ill timed and in the wrong place.

I did not say that you were not entitled to your OPINION, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and not just you.

I am still not attacking you.

You are so quick to draw out your victim card as if some one was personally attacking you, when you are the one doing the attacking as if you are defending yourself.

You have nothing to defend. Your fine aisley, you are absolutely fine. You just need to be a bit more tactful, and realize this is not the place to start attacking Michael Jackson's short comings.

There are people in here who honestly are very sadden by his death, and they should be respected.

I am sorry if you feel attacked, I am not being hypocritical, I am just trying to open your eyes as to what this thread is about.

It is not about you, so calm down. Nobody is trying to stop you with your opinion, just open your eyes as to the thread you are in. Please treat this thread as if you were in a funeral home.

Thank You.

Not only are you being hypocritical, you are also lying. You wrote at least 3-4 nasty posts to me which were deleted. I know, because I read them and reported them, and they were later deleted. Every time they deleted one post you would write another one. You kept doing until you realized that they weren't going to allow your attacks. Talk about drama.

Once again I ask you... if you are so interested in talking about Michael Jackson, then why is every one of your posts about ME? Please, please talk about Michael Jackson.... for once.

Dear Lifegetter,

You are a lovely person for trying so hard to help those who cannot be helped. I long ago accepted the reality that some eyes are not meant to see and are best left in their own darkness. It's sad but my grief is for Michael Jackson, not for people who try to waste my time. I saw your one earlier comment before it was deleted and there was no offense in it, only truth in your attempt to keep this a positive thread. From my perspective, our energy is best spent on nurturing our own spiritual growth and those who are also open to love and learning, not on empty souls that crave attention to fill their void and try to distract us from our purpose. I just wanted you to know your obvious patience and kindness of heart are recognized and appreciated.

Peace.

Remembering the "Man in the Mirror".

Thank you joyspeaks,

I do feel this thread is like a funeral home, for those who are unable to attend Michael Jackson's actual funeral home.

I subscribe to "People Magazine" and they have a beautiful tribute to him and they have so many photos of him. You sure can see the pain in his eyes behind his smile.

The only smile that seems to look true are the ones you see with his children, his family members, and his friends.

I hope you have a joyful 4th of July, joyspeaks.

I hope all in this thread will have a joyful 4th of July, including aisley.

I wrote a few posts to you in other threads, but they were not nasty. They were just an attempt to open your eyes, but I have only written one post to you in here. Only one of my post has been deleted.

You are too dramatic.

There is only one that is about you, the other is about everyone.

Why do you think all my posts are about you? Do you have something on your conscience?

Its a hugh loss, words can not describe how I'm feeling about Micheal Jackson's death. He was a ledgend, I grew up listening to his music, Thriller, Billy Jean are a couple of my favorite tracks but they are all good. I'm in sync with having a tribute to MJ, he deserves it.

We can't come to any assumptions about weather Micheal Jackson molestered those children, so lets no judge him. Instead let us pay our respects for MJ and may he rest in peace.

I'm in Sync with you, let us join in celebration of Micheal's life, his career, he sold soo many records. He is the King of pop for a reason which will triumph over all the specualtion about his private life.

LOL The lies continue. Your posts are directed at me. You keep judging me and making specific comments directed at ME. You never stop. You can't seem to stop. The majority of your posts have been deleted, so people won't see the "real" you.

Why can't you just talk about Michael Jackson? Leave me alone. Enough already.

I'll bump up a few Michael threads that were completely ignored by you and others. So, IF you really want to talk about Michael Jackson, then perhaps you might do so... for once.

The threads that were in this particular forum have been moved to other forums. Obviously this one remained because it mentioned Oprah. The others were moved after several days, because I remember them going unnoticed. If you click on community, and do a search for Michael Jackson, you will find many threads in various forums throughout this site.

I am glad that California will be doing a televised nation wide tribute to Michael Jackson.

This will give those who cannot travel to California to pay their respects who wishes to.

While some may miss his, as I am one of them, I will not be sadden by his death. Instead, I will celebrate. I will celebrate his life, I will celebrate the peace he has now found and the love he finally feels from God.

He is with Jesus and Jesus is rocking now, with Elvis, Michael, and all the other greats that are up there. What a marvelous concert that must be going on up there.

I pray the battle over his children will not start, if it does I hope it ends quickly.

What a wonderful father Michael was. What beautiful children he was blessed with. They truly look like little angels.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

Michael Jackson was brilliant and he floated through time, his genius was untouchable and remarkable. A Joy to the world and a gift to the people.

I'm sad, my stomach turns and I am fearful when I hear adults responsible for the care of children say "if Michael had done anything bad before he passed that it should be left in the past and die with him so that he can rest in piece". NO!

If the good things Michael Jackson has done lives with us forever, then so does the bad. It doesn't die, it lives with us in those children who became adults.

If there is a way to know what a child molester looks like and Michael Jackson was Gods way of revealing that. It should be seen. Ashley, you have a right to know. Your not taking anything away from our celebration.

Please don't confuse this with weather Michael Jackson is guilty or innocent. He wasn't convicted and if the parents of the children decide not to pursue prosecution and he hurt those babies we should know. If he didn't molest those children then shame on them and sham on their parents because they will answer to a higher power and Michael will get the rest in death that he didn't get in life. But if he did no amount of charity, love, or talent makes up for that damage.

Plastic surgery, not my concern. Did his father beat him? Did Michael Jackson grow up before his time? Was Michael Jackson lonely? Was he on drugs? Can we forgive Michael for what he has been accused of but not Joe for what he gave us. Was there a reward? He was the King.

Without Joe there is no Michael Jackson. What would we be celebrating. Our trials arn't always punishment, they are sometimes gifts and maybe not gifts to the gifted but gifts just the same. The comments made by Ashley did not demean what Michael meant to me. People are celebrating him across the nation. But if there are people hurt they have a right to be heard just like us who are celebrating.

Thank you Joe Jackson for the gift and may God be with you.
