Michael Jackson’s Facebook Page experienced a surge in fans after news of his death spread around the web. Currently the page appears to be attracting around 20 fans a second with a good chance that the page will become one of the top Pages is a short amount of time. The page wall has turned into a virtual memorial for the pop legend who’s life impacted much of the world and who’s music transformed an industry. While he may be a controversial figure, one thing is certain: until today he was the world’s largest pop icon. Not surprising considering that he defined pop.
The world will move on but it there’s no doubt his Facebook Page will become one of the top Facebook Pages after news of his death revives peoples’ memories of the idol. My entire Facebook news feed has become a stream of messages about Jackson’s death and filled with peoples’ memories of the legend. It’s impressive to watch the amount of conversation currently taking place around the web all about Michael Jackson.
For those that use blip.fm, the site is filled with songs from Michael Jackson. All around the web there is Michael Jackson memorials sprouting up which is an interesting thing to watch and with the web becoming increasingly social, it’s mostly conversations about people’s memories of the man. It seems like people have practically ended business for the day to memorialize him and are blaring their favorite Michael Jackson songs.
If you are a fan of Michael Jackson and wish to memorialize him, go become his fan on Facebook.

I was born in 1971 so i grew up listening to michael jackson and his siblings. It’s gonna take me some time to swallow this pill.
Michael Jackson you will be missed. I don’t care about the media, tabloids. I will always be in love with you. Since I saw you on the cover of Thriller I thought you was the beautifuls thing I every seen. Since fourth grade when I had my little Michael Jackson fan club in my class. I wanted to marry you. If only I could of went to one of your concerts before you left me maybe it wouldn’t hurt so bad but I still have your talent sister Janet to listen too to easy my pain. Michael may the angels take you now and show you the true peace you brought to others and so much deserve. May God bless your father, mother, sisters, and brothers.
Your biggest fan always with love,

Hi, Just heard the morning news here in Sweden; I cried out loud and was devistated for some while (my boyfriend didn’t get it at all…) and was just looking for such info where to memorialize him. Found it here. Thanks!

Michael Jackson R.I.P
you will always moonwalk in my heart.thank you
godbless rip world class icon unique in every way
More than 10 years ago I saw Michael Jackson in concert in the Netherlands. I went 2 days. First day I went by myself y the second day with my brother.
This was the best concert I saw in my life. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SHOWMAN. Your legend will live on forever. One of my favorite videos “Smooth Criminal”.
MJ you truely changed everything, and no matter what you did with your personal life, you are the Worlds most adored, infulential, and unique artist. We are truely blessed to be able to have witness such a remarkalbe person, we may never see an artist of your caliber for a few generations. May you have made your peace with GOD and rest beautifully paparazi free! Rest in Peace
of all things that are real this is one thing that the world has not woken to yet i believe that mike was not only the king of pop but i believe that this was a man that was never given the chanbce to prove what he could do for the world . i mean after the man put everything he had on we are the world , people knocked him for the negative that he did or that people believed he did . Mike only wanted people to see him as an equal , although that would never happen because of his fan base but all and all he was truely a piece of art and should be remembered for the lives he touched . I end this quote with a reminder it not the records you sell it is the heart you touch with the song. I believe music the way it is today as good as it is today should really go back to the basics of what the artist started out to do with music and try to recreate it all over again ( hell if diddy and prince can do it that why can’t thAt mark bedone by everybody .
man we missing you already i pray for your family and you it was a big shocker the king of pop is gone…when everyone said mean nasty things i never went passed it i loved you since i knew to like you..you were a awsome idol you always did your thing and you were just you and know one can judge you but jesus.

OH MY GOD! such a shock was a living ledgenf to be honest!
missin ya KING OF POP!
Michael,you are not dead.You are l
always live in my heart.I love you.
He always Was, Is and Will be in my heart the best artist on planet
I grew up watching the jackson five, i am a teenager of the 80’s, and Michael was a icon that my generation grew up with. Watching Michael on MTV, and listening to his music on the radio, and on cassette, his music, and his dancing help carry me away when my home life was pretty rotten. Michael thank you for your contribution to the music bussiness, with your risk taken moves, your no hold bars attitude. Thank you for taking music where no else would dare to go. No more pain, no more false acquisitions, no more name calling. Michael, sweetheart you can now dance with the angels!!! You will greatly be missed more than you will ever know. May god be with your children, and your family.
OH! i cnt beleive he is realy dead. Michael was the most popular person in the whole wide world. we all gona miss him, his songs and dance! i guess he rocked his world! REST IN PEACE
such a shock to wake up to the news of the passing of an all time great. None of our current popstars will even be able to touch the magic that MJ exuded, as they are all derived from the source of pop music, which is the king himself. A true shooting star
he will live in our heart, hope god rest his soul~we miss you much~
We are shocked and sad over this death..He will be missed..My heart goes out to his family, friends & fans.
Jacko’s ghost has been spotted in a children’s hospital, looks like he will continue to try and put the willies up small children! hahaha
whats the difference between MJ and Alex ferguson ? Alex ferguson will be playing giggs come August !
- This was a sick message i was sent :O
Michael Jackson-incredible showman and great artist..always live in my heart.

Rest in peace …You will always in our heart…
Such a talented man with such a gentle heart.
From all your fans in Australia. R.I.P. MJ.
Plain and simple it doesn’t get any better than Michael Jackson. HE IS THE KING, HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE KING, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE KING!!!!!! He is a work of art that can never be replaced. The world without Michael Jackson is like the sky without sunshine and life will never be the same. But it’s good to know that he’s changed sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo manys lives and that even though he is no longer here in body his spirit still lives on in everyone who supported him throughout his 50 years on this earth. WE LOVE YOU, WE MISS YOU, REST IN PEACE, AND…….
LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love always and forever,
Jesse
We actually had Michael Jackson dress up day at school. Everyone broke out their glove and I even got a curl for the occasion. Several of my classmates just wore attire like his every day. I began to flip through my yearbook and began to cry over the great memories of Michael Jackson and how he impacted my entire High School.
I have some more to say, the phone rang and I was interrupted. I graduated in the 80’s. One of my close High School Classmated called yesterday and we cried and remembered Michael Jackson. My mom let me go to his concert and I remember when he broke out with Don’t stop til you get enough. We all loved the performance.
MICHEAL YOU WILL BE MISSED ALOT WE WAS SO HURT WHEN WE HEARD THE NEWS JUST LIKE IT WAS UNREAL FOR YOU TO BE GONE MICHAEL AND I SHARED SAME BIRTHDAY AUGUST 29TH AND EVERY YEAR I WOULD SAY TODAY IS MICHEAL BIRTHDAY AND THIS YEAR I WILL MISS YOU.MY PRAYER GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY.

The soul is forever eternal. We change bodies and Michael is in transition. May He become liberated to sing for the Lord.

As I sit hear listening to your song, I am still in tears! I just can’t get over the fact that you’re gone. I feel as though I have lost a member of my family. Oh gosh, I know we will all have to go sometime, but I never imagined that I would loose my childhood idol so soon. As a teen I plastered my room with posters, cut out every article, and wore your buttons all over my clothes in highschool. Although I grew up and had a family of my own (yes, even a Michael), I still was a fan, as are my now teenage children. Both of my sons performed your song Billie Jean at their highschool. I will continue to be your biggest defender. I will miss your smile, and your twinkling eyes! Rest now sweet Michael, you will NEVER be forgotten!
I love you sooooo much michael jackson. I listen to all of your songs and I just cry because I miss you too much. in 2002 you shook my hand and you signed my top for me. that was the best day of my life. i came to one of your concerts in London and i fainted when I saw you. i came right past you on a stretcher when you were on stage. i miss you tooooooooooooo much
I saw this creepy n scary thing about KJ. Take a look I hope it ain’t true!!!

R.I.P you bare always in my heart no words are enough for the loss of my childhood hero
for all who want to say bads things about Mr. Michael Jackson keep it to yourself. For the wacko jokes, keep them to yourself. Before you make fun at him do what he say in his song. TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF, YES THE MAN IN THE MIRROW. AND BEAT IT. AND MAKE THAT CHANGE YOU ARE NOT PERFECT YOURSELF. HOW I KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE PUTTING SOMEONE ELSE DOWN. LOOK AT YOURSELF. HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DONE TO TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE YOU GIVEN TO A CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
So just leave Him alone. remember you will die one day. What legacy will you leave. I love you michael, you were one of a kind, there will never be anyone else like you. God gifted you with a special gift. i think of you and i cry. i will always think of you . i pray that God will guide protect and keep your children as they grow up. I miss you Mr. Jackson, I love you, you will be missed.
It will only make me happy if he died when he is a born again
I love you Michael and will always miss you. Your death really hit me hard, I still cry for you everyday. Tomorrow is your birthday and burial, it will be an emotional day for me. I can relate to your life as I am also shy and have a deep connection with animals, they can’t hurt you like people do. I just want to say to you that I love you and hope you can feel the united love from your fans around the world. I wish you could still be with us but I know your in a better place and are surrounded by loving angels. I love you sweetheart.
oh my god! i cant stop crying! my king… my best artist…. i love you!
MJ WROTE THIS TO U HATERS LEST U CAN READ IT MOTHERFUCKERS!!! I DONT SEE HOW HE COULD CALL U HATIN ASS BITCHES DEAR IT MAKES ME SICK THAT HES SO NICE TO U HE WRITES:
PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE A HEART U WILL UNDERSTAND Dear people, I would like to ask you a question - the question WHY. Why is there so much poverty in the world? Why so many wars? Why so much torture and agony? And why must children die and innocent suffer? I don’t understand it. Do you understand it?
I want to help. I want to make people happy, and may it be just for a moment. That is what gives my life a sense. Don’t you understand me? What did I do that you judge me? Are you really envious of me? You don’t have to. I wouldn’t wish you to be me…
Maybe you just want me to confess my ‘guilt’:
Yes, it is true, I do love children! But not the way you want it to be. I love them from the bottom of my heart. Because children don’t make wars. Children have never hurt me. It makes me happy to look in their shining eyes. Is it a crime wanting to be happy and want to make others happy? Many of them who visit me are going to die soon, of cancer or other terrible diseases. I won’t let you forbid me through your arrogance to give them just one happy day!
Yes, it is true that I had plastic surgeries! Do you know what it feels like?! How often did I have to wake up in pain! How often I didn’t know what would expect me when I look into the mirror! How often did I cry when I did it! Don’t you see that I’m punishing myself for that I cannot cope with my face - and with myself! Why do you also punish me for it?
Yes, it is true, once I was black! You get darker in the sun and get admired for that. But I am sick and you hit me for it. The sun you love so much can kill me. In former times I loved to be outside in the light, too, now I can nearly only go out at night. And you make your fun out of it. If I hadn’t become the Michael Jackson you know today, then I would also be like that: I would be a white black with curls and a thick niggernose for which everybody would tease me. Well, now you tease me because of my little nose. Maybe I would already be dead because I couldn’t protect myself so good as I can today. Would you prefer it when I was dead? Or when I had never existed? But then you wouldn’t have my music! Would you like to do without ‘Billie Jean’?! My music you love though, don’t you? Just not me. But I create the music to make you happy.
You torture me with your disgraceful words. Words can sometimes hurt so much more than punchs. Often I sit in an edge and cry. I ask God for what I have to suffer, what a reason I’ve given you. Cause I never did harm to anyone. I am afraid of you ’cause you’ve hurt me so badly. And I don’t even defend myself. I simply hide behind my masks. Oh, how I hate these masks! Under them I can hardly breathe. But I have no choice, it’s the only way to protect myself. But you don’t like it when I protect myself. You’d prefer to kick a defenceless man in his face. but this favour I won’t do you. I don’t need to be ashamed for anything I’ve done. And as I can see at you, dear Unknown there are people who understand my message.
My friends and me, we don’t go into the war with tanks. We come with sunflowers to all of you even though you laugh at us and snap our flowers off. Maybe you will understand not before not only the flowers but the whole sun goes out. With my music, with what I do I would like to bring a light into the world. But is it necessary that I kill myself until someone believes me? And until someone believes me that I just want to do good things and that I suffer from your hate? But then you would be outraged: “And the children?!” Particularly you would say that, you who would love the most to take my children away from me. You say they aren’t my children. You say I couldn’t educate them. How do you want to know this?! And is it important then what blood is flowing through their veins when I would die for them? Your jealousy and your hate make you blind for what love means.
You don’t know me, nevertheless you have already judged me! You, those reporters who hammer me at the cross in the morning, you listen to my music in the evening! That is not fair! You are not interested in what you write if it just attracts readers and causes headlines. But my name is enough to attract the people. Why is it always necessary to denounce me? Why don’t you write something positive, there you wouldn’t have to search so long! Why do I have to be ‘Wacko Jacko’? Can’t you see that the only one I’m hurting is myself?! You hunt me like I was a piece of cattle. Isn’t there anybody who sees that I’m also a human being?! Where do you have your heart? Where do you have your mercy? Where do you have your love?
If just one out of ten people who get this letter tries to understand me, already then my life is it worth being lived.
always and forever ! michael will be in my heart !
Um, Michael absolutely did NOT write that letter. It’s written in broken English. He may have only had a high school education, but I’ve read letters he’s penned (one of them was the People magazine cover story in 1987; you can also find copies of it on ebay), and I can tell you the guy had a nice command of the English language.
What person who speaks American English would say “Would you prefer it when I was dead? Or when I had never existed?” Who says “I sit in an edge”? What the heck does “hammer me at the cross” mean? And what person who writes American English would spell defenseless in the British way, with a letter c (’defenceless’)? Come ON.
Your best-case scenario is that once upon a time, Michael wrote a letter or gave an interview (this does bear slight resemblance to his early ’90s interview with Oprah). And maybe that letter or interview was then translated into another language, which was then translated again, and so on, and finally was translated back into English, and the result is this grammatical oddity. I’ve also seen this letter in French on a fan site, so this may be the case. But is this letter truly Michael Jackson? Not in the least.
Michael Jackson,
why did so all your fans you left for me was the best singer in my life but I know you will always remain with me in
your biggest fan,
robin of keyenberg from belgium
why michael jackson why !!!
