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.

Gracie B. Potts: That was the lowest statemnent you said. You said Michael's contribution to the world was more than Farrah and Ed. THEY ALL CONTRIBUTED IN THEIR WAY. Farrah showed that we should be more aware toward finding a cure for cancer. Michael was into music and Ed was into his way on stage with Johnny. GRACIE, DON'T YOU BE A HATER.

was he a pervert? I don;t know,but I find it strange that a grown man would like sleeping with children.What bothers me they honor him like he was a saint.Yet the Empire state building would not light it;s lights to honor Mother Threasa,Who I know was a saint,and one day will be declaired one.Im hoping right after Elton John!!!

pat- FBI states not. Good enough. King gave explanation as to why kids there. Parents many times on site too. I find it strange people are illiterate. Yet I wouldn't say ignorance always lends toward being perverted. Michael is loved. Ever missed.

WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP PUTTING MICHAEL JACKSON DOWN, AND GET A LIFE. MICHAEL JACKSON GAVE US EVERYTHING HE HAD, MUSIC, DANCING, AND LOVE. HIS WHOLE HEART. I GREW UP WITH MICHAEL JACKSON AND HE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON. HE WAS A VERY LOVING MAN. HE WAS PURE AND HONEST. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PUTTING HIM DOWN ALL THE TIME, TO GET OUT THERE AND DO WHAT MICHAEL DID. REST MY CASE. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GETTING HELP FOR PAIN AND DEPRESSION, DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE AN ADDICT, GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT. HE GAVE US HIS WHOLE HEART IN EVERYTHING HE DID. SO STOP WITH THE ALL THE D.. CRITICISM AGAINST MICHAEL. LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT YOURSELF IDIOTS. GET A DA.. LIFE. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HERE AND IN OUR HEARTS. RIP MJ WE MISS YOU........

I agree, Michael Jackson was a wonderful human being. When a person is as rich and famous as he was, they often get accused of all kinds of false allegations. No matter what anyone says, I think he was a great humanitarian. God bless Michael Jackson forever!

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson. I still cry from time to time because you're gone. But you are never forgotten. MISS YOU MUCH!

There will never be an entertainer as talented as Michael Jackson. He was unique, beautiful and a brilliant performer. Michael, rest in peace.

By eric

why would anyone want to leave a trbute to a child milester.

eric- Because King WAS a "milester". Or "mileSTAR" I should say. MILES above the rest. LEAVES great legacy. Hence fans, and the world PAY tribute.

Michael Jackson was the greatest talent that ever lived. As with all genius personalities, he appeared to be eccentric, but that was his genius at work.

He was never convicted of any crime. Accusations are meaningless in this world. He was a victim and a target for the best of con artists, but he continued to spread joy to this world through his music.

The world is missing a great talent. Michael Jackson cannot be replaced and will never be forgotten.

how about this, whatever you believe about the King of Pop, let's let God do the judging now. People need to start looking at themselves and make sure when they are standing before Judgement that they have clean slates and not worry about what someone else may or may not have done. The man is gone and we need to honor his legacy and if you didn't like him that is fine, but we can be a little respectable of his family; no matter what we may think of them. Thanks and have a blessed day.
