In photos released today by concert promoter AEG, pop superstar Michael Jackson is seen rehearsing for his planned shows in London. The rehearsal was held Tuesday at L.A.'s Staples Center. Two days later, Jackson was found unresponsive in his rented Holmby Hills home.

How long will Sharpton drag this out now? For Joe Jackson to take this time to make an "announcement" outside the gate about his "record company" was super low class. THEY need to show Michael the respect and dignity he deserves.

This comment is to Tony! Your a hater. Michael was never convicted of any charges. I believe Michael wanted it over with so he paid them 20 million dollars to leave him alone, which is what they wanted anyway, MONEY!!! If my child were sexually molested, do you actually think that I would have accepted any amount of money, absolutely not, I would want justice. That is why I know it was about money. No parent in their right mind would have accepted cash like that for their child's heartache. I guess you would have. That's where the mindset is of some of the perverts out there. Michael was innocent and he just made some bad decisions when it came to trusting people, viscious people who did not have his best interests at heart. He's in the Guinness book of World Records for giving so much money to charity, helping children around the world that were poor and sick. How much have you given? All your doing is giving lipservice about a legend. He can no longer defend his honor, so I will. Stop tearing him down and let him rest in peace, by sullying his name! Unless you were in the bedroom on the day of the supposed incident, put a sock in it, there are some true MJ fans who want you haters to respect him in death, since you couldn't do it in life!!!!!

I don't really understand...he does not seem a man who' s about to die...I've read he barely walked but he looks ok, at least ok enough to go on...It's truly a mistery. How did he feel inside? Was he ok? Or was he faking???...oh michael!

It's still surreal. You look at him in these photos and he had no thought about what would happen in two days. Goes to show you to take every moment you can in life. Treat it as the most precious thing in the world. You just never know when it will be your time to leave this world.

Therealtlc1, I thank you for your comments. I have been saying the same thing to people about Michael Jackson being called a pedophile ever since the story broke of him passing away. I don't believe this either because as you stated no parent would accept money over seeking justice for their child being sexually abused. I surely would not. Yes, he made some poor decisions in his life, however we are all human beings and none of us will leave this earth not having made some mistakes as well. In any case, he was a human being and deserves to be respected just as everyone else does. He was someone's son, father and brother. Let us not forget that.

To Therealtic1, i want to thank you for the nice story you wrote about Mickael Jackson. Yea i admit i was one who had doughts about his legal battles of child molestation, however when you take into consideration how he was denied to enjoy his childhood, this was probably the reason he developed into a man-child, and learnd to feel more comforable with children and not trust adults. I no longer feel that he molested children, he just made poor decisions. thanks again Therealtic!

I think MJ had a lot of medication buildup in his liver and fat cells that metabolized "broke loose" into his system as he was working out hard, and with and combined with his regular med dosage for his pains,, it did him in. It is so sad. He seems like such a nice person and misunderstood by his eccentrics'.
I don't put much into the kiddy talk. I think he was weird for sure but not a threat to kids. More a threat to producers and agents, and lawyers. He supported enough of them..

I just Pray in this Life God will expose what these Evil People have done to Michael Jackson and his Family. Michael Jackson NEVER had a WILL, The Will is FAKE and FRAUDULENT created by John Branca to Steal and DisInherit The Jacksons Family who Michael Jackson left as TRUSTEES Joseph and Katherine Jackson in a TRUST, John Brana CREATED a FAKE WILL Michael Jackson NEVER had, which the WILL in itself is MOTIVE for Michael Jackson Murder.
