Madonna said it all and I particularly appreciate her for coming out to speak on this issue. I dont care wht the world will continue to say. Michael Jackson was very much innocent to all of those nasty allegations that greedy introverts concocted against him to steal his money. Michael J.Jackson was a good man with love and sincere grace for humanity. He can never hurt anyone, neither a child. What he has done for the children of this world can not be compared o any single individual of on the face of the earth. When it was Africa facing hunger and starvation, he used his God given talents to raise money. Whereever he went he showed his love for humanity. He lived a very short life, but made a tremendous impact on the world that he will forever be remembered. He is an ever lasting legacy and legend. Michael we your lovely friends, family and fans from all over the world will forever love you, care, and cherish your work and every endeavor. We love your children, your siblings, and dearest friends.With you were are the light if the world ! With you we feel grand! We love nad miss you Michael!! We love You Madonna!!

Some of the things she's said and done have disgusted me over the years (as some of the things Michael has said and done have disgusted me over the years), but I honestly thought Madonna's speech was well written and, for the most part, heartfelt. Life and people, are not all good or all bad. Most of us are a little bit of both, and Michael and Madonna were no exceptions. I don't for one minute think that Michael and Madonna were ever great friends or even more than acquaintances, but I liked that Madonna didn't try to pretend they were any more than that. They certainly lived in parallell universes for much of the 80s and some of the 90s. She had something of substance to say for once, and I thought she said it well. After reading much about the trial and the 1993 accusations, I have come to the conclusion that Michael was not a child molester. Do I know for sure? No. No one can ever know for sure except for Michael, God, and the boys who accused him. If he did do it, he's paying for it now, that's for sure. And if he didn't do it, he went through a world of hell that he partially brought on himself because of his refusal to heed accepted, societal rules (like you don't sleep in a bed with children after you become an adult unless they're your own). Michael was blindingly talented and essentially (I think) a good person, but the circumstances of his wealth and fame ultimately made him unable to take "NO" for an answer from anyone. This proved disastrous for him because it caused him to push away those who truly loved him and wanted to see him live a normal life span. Instead, he surrounded himself in the end, with people who would only tell him YES no matter what. This is what caused him to end up in a casket. Those who truly cared about him "abandoned" him only because he froze them out literally or because they were trying to preserve their own lives -- literally (i.e. Lisa Marie Presley has outright stated that she felt she herself was going to end up dead or in a hospital if she didn't get out of Michael's world). Michael was his own worst enemy. The sadness comes in knowing that he was subjected to the destructive influence of fame from the tender age of five, and never knew anything else. As Paul McCartney once pointed out -- at least Elvis and The Beatles became crazy famous after they were adults so they had a chance at some point to find themselves and live a normal life as children and teens. Michael never ever had that chance. I was surprised by how much I liked Madonna’s tribute.

My bro is a closet homosexual and b/c of his church, chooses to remain single and non sexual and does relief work with kids in need to fill the holes for family and connection. I often wondered if something like that was what was going on w/ MJ. Was he a pedophile? I hope not, not only for his sake, but the kids!!!! I think he was a gay man who was trapped in not being able to express himself in his personal life in any close to normal way. And he was drug addicted. Lots and Lots of pain....

Take a good look at the young women in music who idolized her. Do Brittney S. and Christina A.(among others) ring a bell? It's because of her that preteen and teen girls feel the need to dress and act like trollps. I don't dislike her because she is strong. I dislike her because she is weak. Strong women don't resort to parading half naked on stage, publishing sex books,shagging boys half her age etc... She is morally weak and she is always trying to "shock" us with outrageous behaviour in order to convince us how clever and artistic she is. Besides, she can't sing! Alicia Keyes - is a good example of a woman who has strength and deserves respect. She's a musician who can actually compose and sing. She doesn't have to act or dress like a s... to grab our attention. As a woman and a mother I want my daughter to be influenced by someone like Alicia K.

Her point was depsite their similarities, Michael got the short end of the stick in life by missing out on his childhood and despite all the contraversies (something M can identify with), he was a one of a kind muscial genius. I give kudos to Madonna for a great tribute speech which from the clip I saw, the jacksons seemed happy with...and yes, I thought she looked fantastic while doing it!

Oh my gosh, this is too funny! SO SORRY I haven't worshipped Madonna for creating bad music, opening her crotch for money, creating fake controversies to grab the headlines, and for being a pretentious, self-serving bore. All these years, I've been looking up to my mother as a strong independent woman raising us kids with no help whatsoever! And, I've looked up to various intelligent women I know. WOW, what was I thinking? Thanks for setting me straight, "too bad."! I need to worship this narcissistic celeb even more than she worships herself. Wait--that's not possible. haha “You should be applauding her for paving the way for strong successful women.” Oh my gosh, this is too funny!
