quincy should be ashamed of himself, michael always talked about how he loved Q. how he was a brilliant man. michael only tried to show the world what love really is, tried to treat people with respect, and they stabbed him in the back. michael was always beautiful. i love u michael. i miss you so much it hurts. i hate how they treated you. i pray for his family to stay strong.
michael is an angel sent from heaven. i love you for ever.

QUINCY, YOU NEED TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH. YOU CALL HIM YOUR FRIEND.

Most of the times we don’t know our own reasons to act in a certain way, so who are we to judge someone else’s? People deal with their issues differently; we will never really know what goes on inside of their heads. It would be great to finally allow Michael Jackson some peace. His work will live forever and we should be thankful for all the moments his music were part of our lives. Give him some respect!

Quincy Jones just has to grow up a bit…. poor Mike is no longer alive, as a so called “friend”, how does Quincy sleep at night?? Please Mr “Perfect” Q Jones do not let the love of money and fame take the humanity off you. LET “YOUR FRIEND” REST and think of the good old times you had together! Do not hurt him anymore!! he never hurt you. (not that we know of anyway!). Let go off him, OK! The world loves you too Quincy, don’t be sad..

Quincy Jones was wrong. Michael Jackson’s autopsy proved that Michael had skin and lung diseases. Quincy should apologize for his misunderstanding because people think he is Michael’s close friend. What he said in the interview really hurts Michael even though Michael is longer with us.

It is apparent Quincy Jones was not Michael’s friend. A friend would not demean the memory of a friend.

As far as skin color, Michael had Vitiligo. It is exascerbated by stress. Considering what he had to grow up with and live with, he had more than average stress.

Racial identity in this country is complex. Michael Jackson was not the only black person with straightened hair and surgically altered features – especially in Hollywood. There is a reason for this, not necessarily that a person does not want to be black. Some people love their blackness, but hate the limitations. It is one of the residual effects of slavery . For generations, Americans have been taught that all things African are bad. The American beauty standard has been European: straight hair and chiseled features. And if an African type person buys into that way of thinking, more than anything it suggests they are feeling a lack of acceptance. It is obvious to me that as a child, Michael was not told how beautiful he was, at least not to the extent that it became part of his mindset. If certain people had loved him and accepted him the way he was, he may not have felt a need to change.

Pleeeeeeeeease leave Michael alone . He was the cutest man EVER! I know when his skin color changed he wasn’t as cute ,but who cares. He had VITILIGO. Duh. People need to stop worrying about skin color. I’m black. So what . Ever since Michael died, all of his friends have turned on him. I’m only 13 and I know not to do that. His friends said that they knew Michael was using drugs. What kind of friend is that. Try to make him stop then. I LOVE MICHAEL SO MUCH. I’M HIS #1 FAN AND I’LL STOP LOVING HIM. HE WAS SO CUTE BACK IN THE 70′S AND EARLY 80′S THOUGH. Michael is dead show a little affectionate. I love all of the tributes. I hate all of the nonsense. And Michael Jackson didn’t molest any one ,and he isn’t gay. He has had more girlfriends then any one in the whole world combined.
