Michael Jackson's death: Woman didn't speak English but loved his music

June 26, 2009 |  3:36 pm

Petra Fintova grew up in South Moravia in the Czech Republic listening to Michael Jackson. The 32-year-old, who took her family to the Jackson home in Encino today, said that even though she and her family didn't speak English, they still loved Jackson's music and own every CD and DVD he made.

Fintova, who moved to the United States in 2001, said people all over the world love Jackson's music, especially where she's from.

"He was something cool, something new," she said.

Fintova said Jackson's death brings backemotions from her brother's tragic death five years ago. Fintova brought her 7-year-old son, Nicolas Finta, to Encino, along with a letter he wrote to the deceased pop singer, thanking him for all of his musical contributions.
