The Internet Pays Tribute to Michael Jackson On YouTube

By Steven Avalos Posted Jun 25th 2010 01:00PM

It's hard to believe a whole year has passed since Michael Jackson's tragic death, and his fans have been keeping his legacy alive online. Countless videos have been uploaded to YouTube to pay tribute to his legacy. Yes, YouTube's not just for precious baby moments and cat hijinks as the following will show you (although we love those, too). We've rounded up some of the best videos on the net to celebrate and reflect on the King of Pop. Check out plenty of singing and dancing (and more!) after the jump.

Covers are by far YouTube's most popular upload, and Michael Jackson's are at the top of the heap. People of all ages from all over the globe have added their renditions of the King of Pop's classic tunes -- here are a few of our favorites:

NYC's World Famous PS22 Chorus

Jane Lui and Gabe Bondoc

Pomplamoose

The 2010 All American College Band

The world's biggest pop stars are showered with gifts from adoring fans, and Michael Jackson was, of course, no exception. Check out the photo collage and art tributes below:

And lastly, what would a Michael Jackson tribute be without the man's moves? From impersonators to seemingly spur-of-the-moment flash mobs and even performances by inmates in the Philippines, there's plenty to work with when you're doing MJ.

Check out the inmates' original 'Thriller' dance, which has amassed a whopping 42 million plus views, here.

Hi Tony, Don't be a HATER. We Loved Ed and Farreh also. I don't think their contributions to the world were as great as Michael. Don't forget to love-
God bless

Perve--nothing special about him or the disfunctional family--too may other good and special people should be celebrated, not some pervert that bought his way out of being a sex criminal.

By purepower333

He was a Drug addict also. Who needs a team of doctors to sleep? I could understand if you went through something traumatic like war, or was born with some kind of disease I could understand, but if your a WACKO like Micheal Jackson who never dealt anything...YOUR A DRUG ADDICT

absolutely agree. the dude was a total three-dollar bill. i guess if hitler could sing, they would be naming schools and libraries after him. when will people admit that artistic talent and criminal behavior have nothing to do with each other. how sad.

Bill- Think DOLTS should have their day. I mean, they can't spell, we read it ALL the time. They're notorious for stupidity. Should be recognized. So yeah, I agree. Should honor someone else.

Dolts, are purepower ignoramuses. Times 333. Michael Joseph Jackson, was a genius.

Honestly, he deserves burning in hell for messin with little boys. Hes a perve. So ill celebrate that hes been dead for a year. I know thats mean. but hes a nasty pervert!

By Lisa

And you were there right? I guess it obama's fault that the country is jacked up after the white man has been running it forever! Grow up and stop accusing people based off of what others say unless you saw it with your own eyes

By MARY

Sarah, Were you with MJ 24/7/ I think not, I bet you belive there"s little red men on Mar"s, Stop reading the trash mag"s Sarah.

By S.andy

I'm so glad to know that you were a witness, since I was taught talk what you KNOW and testify that you SEE. Were you in court to testify that you saw this alleged abuse. Being one who knows and is well versed in child abuse, molestation etc. He was NOT. Get your facts straight and not what the media feeds you. People who are easily influenced by whatever the media tells them are people who can't think for themselves and are easily led. I guarantee you they are unhappy, lonely, miserable, misfits.

Sarah- Why not put off celebration 'till you graduate from grammar school?

Michael Jackson was also sick, his skin condition was debilitating...As for the perv remake, it was never proven..Innocent until proven guilty, you just want to believe he was disturbed...RIP in Peace Michael, gone but not forgotten...Your music lives on...Namaste!!

By Patty

talented, great voice, king of pop, misunderstood, he was a legend and deserves the respect and admiration. He did more for people, but did not brag about it. Greatly missed on this earth..peace Michael......xx

By mandy :P

he was the best singer ever...he will be deeply missed and for those who say he was sick...they r probably just jealous that people are paying more attention to michael than they are to them today...RIP michael

By Rose

There are 1% haters of MJ and 99% who loved him and didn"t believe all the lies about him. He was and always will be the King of Pop. So the ones that didn"t like him should keep it to theirself. Enought with the BS.RIP Michael.This is a very sad day. Love you Michael and RIP Farrah.

i totally aggree with u! i luv michael too and idont put up with haterz RIP michael

Umm.."lisa". No actually I wasnt there. But it's pretty obvious that he was messin with little boys. I mean there was a theme park at his house. Im sure that wasnt to attract women his age. He had a hidden kids room in his house. Can you explain that one?? didnt think so. And....I never said anything about obama you F****n weirdo. Our country is messed up because people like you defending WACKOS!

Sarah- Obviously, you are not SMART enough to realize, a pedophile would NOT have a "theme park". Do you THINK they would WANT people to KNOW what they're doing? Brain not just for breathing.

Sarah- I agree. Our great land is not, and will not continue to be messed up. Regardless if people refuse to learn how to read and write the language of this great land properly. So you've got a valid point.
