I did not buy a ticket for Micheal Jackson's "This Is It "so I would have to wait for the DVD.

What I would do with a million dollars is stop paying rent because right now I'm having a hard times making ends meet.

I would buy a foreclosed home and it won't be expensive, paid in full in a nice neighborhood and make all necessary repairs so we will always have a place to live. I would buy my son and both my daughters a car so I stop chauffeuring them around and believe me the cars will not be expensive they will be new but not expensive. I would still work but only part time because this will be my spending money and also I can spend more time with my niece and nephew because I have guardianship over them. My sister past away and I have no idea where their father is. I would Pay off my debt which is less than $10,000 and my daughters debt which is even less. And the rest of the money because i have to think about not only my future but also my children, grandchildren and my niece and nephew. I would find a financial planner and learn how to best invest the rest of my money for the future. And far as loaning family and friends money i would make up all kinds of lies why I can't I will only reconsider if it's a life or dealt situation and it have to be legit and I will only make donations. Because no one have been there for me since I took over guardianship of my niece and nephew six years ago not even my sisters for brother. But, to tell you the truth to win a million dollars would be fantastic ;but, "I just want to be comfortable" and not work so hard for the future and getting no where.

If I won $1 million dollars I'd go to the dollar store, buy 1 million things, and resell them on ebay for $2 dollars, doubling my money to $2mill....who said you had to have the comb-over like "The Donald" to be smart with money?

I bet Oprah has some wacked out fans on the show just to make them look foolish. Oprah is not a Michael Jackson fan. Why is she promoting the movie? Oh wait .......ratings. Stop being insincere. I saw your "tribute".

One other thing, you all in the media participated in a witchhunt. You spent 15 years destroying Michael Jackson but you ALL are now promoting his movie. Saying how great it looks. Ugh!!! Oprah, CNN, MSNBC, ET, The Insider. You ALL make me sick.

Hi Oprah;

There is no movie studio here in Anguilla, BWI either. Can you find out if there will be a dvd of This is it please? No one seems to be answering the question even on the mj official site.

Thanks so much and have a great day. Love your show.

I was uable to attend the Michael Jackson premere but I did have a chance to meet him when he moved into his last home. we were on a tour of Hollywood and just happened to drive by in the tour bus when he was comming out of the big gates at the house he was renting.

Michael was very friendly and talked to us for about 5 minutes.

What I would do with a million dollars, I have always been a giving person, I like to help others and I guess I have always been that way.

When I was working I always helped someone who needed a meal or a ride to the doctor, it made me feel good. and then Oprah had the Big Give show and I watched every episode. I thought ot myself then and terer if i had a million dollars i wouldn't spend much on myself even though i need it but I would like to be the secret guy that writes a check for a patient in the hospital who need's $20.000.00 for a heart transplant, or I would look for people who without a little help could loose their home and pay the two or three thousand dollars they need to catch up on their loan.

It's the look in someone's eyes that make's it worth it, the smile they give you or their wondering who donated the money for them when they had no money for food.

I just want to be the Little Give in my community for the people I can help and maybe I can show others how to do it also and maybe they would pass it on.

God Bless Steve

Damn that is easy. Take my exceedingly deserving mother on an Alaskan cruise, then take her to Paris and post that buy a little home and invest the rest and KEEP my day job. I actually like what I do, but it would be nice to do it for love and not worry about the day to day of earning the daily crust. That is what I would do.

11. what fans did she choose? where was she?

was Oprah at any of the chicago area premieres? cause no one was there to see the long line at the downtown theater I was at!

for those that aren't seeing it - you're punishing yourself unnecessarily!

I got home 2 hours ago from seeing Michael Jackson's This Is It. I experienced the full gamut of emotions.....

the solemnness and sadness of the opening written statement on the screen....

disappointment as the beginning fifteen minutes thinking that so many of us were cheated out of seeing him in person , ..

to anger against the doctors, family, friends and business associates who allowed and stood by while he totally destroyed not only his face but himself as a whole,...

to being in awe of his true talent and his strive for perfection ,....

to being inspired by the ending with his obvious and true concern for the world...

to the respect of his talent as the credits rolled of the songs he wrote and performed were being listed,...

and finally, then to the total sense of loss as his children's names were on the screen.

As far as, what would i do with a million dollars ......(which i've thought of many times when i take a chance on the lotttery :)... i would try to make this world a better place as Michael Jackson said but on a local level....such as...help programs that help the elderly, children and those who are truly in need of a helping hand and not a handout. Furnish Wii games to the nursing homes to help get them active and be able to interact in a fun way, learning games and programs to the homeless family shelters to help give them incentive and ways to learn. I, also, would want to start a type of program that would have experienced and qualified people to help do repairs and such for all those people who badly need services but either to proud or not eligible or chosen to receive any help .

Oh, and i forgot to mention, the joy and excitement, which was palpable, as seen and shared by the ones working with Michael Jackson in different scenes which made it more inclusive and real as if we were there.

Also, i was somewhat confused of the statements and measures taken to protect him such as on the boom lift and then on the stage when it was raised with the man clearly there to try to prevent Michael Jackson from falling....were they aware he was not steady or unbalanced and if so why ?
