You know if you are not a fan of Michaels please just stay off the website that has such tributes and information about him. You may not like him but other people do. Please don't try to ruin our memories of someone we adore. Please be thoughtful enough to do that.

Some people just want to hate. Sometimes they are unhappy. Sometimes they are jealous. Sometimes they enjoy creating negativity, because it makes them feel better to cause pain & suffering for others. Sometimes they are just not nice people. There certainly seems to be more people in the world who admired MJ than who didn't. I myself admired his charity work & donations, as well as his loving heart and soul.

What an awesome tribute to the late great Michael Jackson, but I would have liked to have seen his children and the love of his life Lisa Marie Presley in it too...but it was awesome, just awesome... and why we love Michael so much Spike you captured a big part of the essence of that beautiful loving soul who most of us worldwide will miss forever...

Thank you for posting. THANK YOU, MICHAEL, FOR BEING. And as you always said, I give thanks to God.

It was a beautiful tribute to Michael. It is still so hard to beleive he is really gone. Sometimes I wish he faked his death to get away from everything. He did'nt want to do 50 concerts. Only 10. I saw the movie he looked great but even I could see he looked tired and it was just the rehersal. So he should have just decided he could'nt do it. He always said he hated touring that he went through hell touring. Left with his kids and finally found some peace. But I guess that is a stupid wish.

Beautiful song, beautiful montage, beautiful tribute to a truly genuine, gifted person who--in spite of personal problems--gave of himself through his music.
May the images in this tribute erase from our minds the negative images of the past ten or so years.

Beautiful video tribute using his song, This is It. It made us cry each time we've watched it. Thanks Spike for such a touching and poignant look at our angel, our love, our musical inspiration. He was a part of our soul, and he will never be forgotten or replaced.

2009 was a good year until MJ died. Now I feel lost. But I know that God will help us through this.

Spike did this out of L-O-V-E, and I hope this video is nominated for an award! Music videos don't get any better than this.

RIP MJ!
