A FAN OF MICHAEL JACKSON
After All most a year since Michael Jackson Death I finally saying Goodbye
It was a very hard time for the world on that day last year in 2009
When the world morn his death as for me i was shock but in many ways i felt like i grew up with him .
If i did not have my faith God only knows ....I remember when Elvis Presley died
it was very difficult for us all who was living around that time and saw that event
but for Michael i always felt bad for him because he was pick on and humiliated
by the press and for just being diffrent which in some ways we can all relate to
but in Michael Jackson there was so much going on with him that we will may never understand it all.I personally never got a chance to see Michael Jackson on his tours because later in his life most of the tours were in the Uk, Michael stayed away from America because of all the bad press but i was hoping to see him on his last tour which never happened although i did see the movie leading up to it in the theaters after his death. Michael was very much ready in the Movie to perform but for some reason the Lord took him and his life was short lived . Going to see the Movie leading up the his tour that did not happened was sort of like seeing him on tour at the Movie theaters to me so it was away i express my feelings of lost for him .Rehearsal footage of Jackson titled This Is It, shot in his final weeks, hit theaters in late October of 2009.The dvd is now in the stores if you never seen it watch it .
I believe he was very much inspirational in most of his music and every song had something to say about his life .
Michael Jackson Dies
Jun 25th 2009
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
A source inside the hospital told us there was "absolute chaos" after Jackson arrived. People who were with the singer were screaming, "You've got to save him! You've got to save him!"
We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.
La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
Homicide Investigation
It's expected that on February 8, 2010, Jackson's former personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray will turn himself in to authorities with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Prosecutors have not revealed what charges will be filed against Murray, who was originally scheduled to turn himself in on February 5. His attorney was attempting to arrange it so that Murray would not be photographed being arrested.
The county coroner determined during an autopsy that Jackson's death was a homicide which resulted from a lethal combination of drugs. These would include lorazepam and propofol.
On March 22, 2010, it was widely reported in the media that Michael Jackson's doctor Dr. Conrad Murray stopped administering CPR to Jackson and instead collected drug vials to store away in his medical bag. Michael Jackson's bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez, also told TMZ that while Dr. Conrad Murray was performing CPR on the singer, his children Prince and Paris came into the room and began crying as they watched their father trying to be revived.
Some of my greatest memories was the moon walking and the dances
The jackson five days and him in the Movie the Wiz with Diana Ross
who was a big influence in my life as much is his so much he wanted Diana Ross to take care of his children of something happened to him ......
Michael Jackson: Diana Ross named as children's guardian
Michael Jackson named the singer Diana Ross, as the guardian of his children should his mother not be able to care for them.
It said that should his mother be unable to look after their children, then Diana Ross, 65, his mentor, should be their guardian.
The will was made on July 7, 2002 and three associates for Jackson - attorney John Branca, John McClain and Barry Siegel - are named co-executors of the will.
It also states that he chose not to provide for his former wife Debbie Rowe.
Michael Jackson and Diana Ross shared a bond that he apparently thought would last long after his death.
In his will Jackson wanted Ross -- who took him under her wing and who he called one of his dearest friends -- to take care of his children if his mother, Katherine Jackson, was not alive or was unable to do so.
While the public may have been surprised at Jackson's decision, the two have a long history together.
"I think it's very interesting," Jermaine Jackson, Michael's brother told CNN's Larry King on Thursday. "There's been a long, close relationship with Michael and Diana for many, many years. And I think it's great." Video Watch Jermaine Jackson on Michael's death »
The star of the Supremes met Michael Jackson when he was a 9-year-old sensation after she saw him perform with his family at the Apollo Theater.
She helped catapult The Jackson 5 to stardom when her name was used to release their debut album, "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5."
After The Jackson 5's debut album success, the pair appeared together in a variety of sketches, sang at each other's concerts, performed at the Hollywood Palace together, and starred in "The Wiz" together with her as Dorothy to his Scarecrow.
"You see skits from variety shows where they are doing Frank Sinatra songs and Casablanca," Emil Wilbekin, managing editor of Essence.com and a founding member of Vibe magazine under Quincy Jones, told CNN.
"Although she was older than Michael, they had a real connection and that connection, I think, and that friendship really moved throughout his career."
In a 1982 interview for the Ebony Jet Showcase, Jackson said he considered Ross, now 65 years old, to be one of his true personal friend
"Diana Ross, very dear friend Diana Ross," he said when asked who he considered to be his closest friends. "She is the kind of person, I can tell her anything, the most private of secrets. And she tells me her secrets as well."
That friendship was something of a motherly love on Ross' part and an idolization from Jackson, according to Wilbekin. And the bond they formed could explain why Jackson chose her to care for his kids, if his mother could not, Wilbekin said.
Ross raised five children of her own who grew up to become extremely "normal and successful children of a superstar," Wilbekin said.
"The other thing interesting about Diana and Michael's relationship: They both were a part of groups, they both ended up eclipsing their groups, so they had a shared experience that nobody else could really realize," he said. "I think in that they had a very special bond."
The two also were the subject of gossip regarding the nature of their relationship, fueled by Jackson's song "Dirty Diana." But Jackson said the hit was about groupies.
Jackson also starred in "Diana," produced in 1981 by Diana Ross Productions -- her first TV special not produced by Motown Productions.
In that show, Ross introduced Jackson as "the talent," and "my baby Michael Jackson" before the two sang "Ease on Down the Road," and other songs.
But it was their banter that received most of the attention.
"I knew you were going to be a star, I really did," Ross said to Jackson during the special. "
They were so close that when he first underwent plastic surgery, some speculated he was trying to look like his mentor.
Regardless of that speculation, it's clear the two shared a connection deep enough that Jackson trusted her with his children in the event of his death.
"The point that nobody has brought up -- Diana Ross happens to be a phenomenal mother. [Her kids are] kind of balanced, normal celebrity kids. And I think that's the part people aren't really looking at," Wilbekin said.
While some people may have been surprised another Jackson family member didn't follow Katherine Jackson in the will, Wilbekin said he believes that by picking Diana Ross, "he named someone who was super-responsible."
And because Jackson's children, have been growing up in the limelight because of their father, he may have wanted someone familiar with that, Wilbekin said.

"That just shows Michael's foresight, his emotional wisdom and his ultimate love for his family and protecting them," he said. "These are not normal kids, they did not live a normal life, and she totally completely understands that." Ross has not spoken about Jackson's death outside of a statement released on her behalf.
"I can't stop crying, this is too sudden and shocking," Ross says in the statement. "I am unable to imagine this. My heart is hurting. I am in prayer for his kids and the family."
The documents said Jackson's estate consisted almost entirely of "non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalogue of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities."
The Sony ATV deal includes the Beatles back catalogue.
Preparations are in full swing for an expected memorial at Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
News of the expected memorial triggered a stampede of media and fans to the sprawling 1,050-hectare (2,600-acre) estate, a monument to Jackson's obsession with childhood that once included a fairground and a private zoo.
Trucks carrying construction equipment and landscaping vans were seen entering the gates of the property late Tuesday. Hundreds of media were camped outside the estate early Wednesday.
A 30-car motorcade reportedly plans to escort Jackson's body to the ranch on Thursday before a public viewing on Friday. The singer's family is reported to be planning a private service on Sunday.
Santa Barbara County officials said Tuesday they had received no formal notification of a memorial but said departments were "preparing to accommodate a large event" if a request for a Neverland funeral was made.
Some fans say the star should be buried at the ranch and want it to be transformed into a shrine similar to Elvis Presley's Graceland.
One thing we do know Michael effected many lives of fans and even people who did like him was suprise of his death but we can say that the music will give us memories for ever for the Man in the mirrior
may God be with you Michael .
