Thanks for the new thread!

I'm not sure if he did sue them, but I know they paid him that amount for the accident, and yes he did donate everything for the hospital and that named the burn center after him He was so good and generous

and later on he made another deal with pepsi, they were behind the dangerous concert and everything he got from that tour he donated to a hospital for children that had cancer.

Sasha thanks for opening

The media is really pissing me off I am tired of hearing all this negative stuff about Michael Jackson. Michael never did sue the pepsi people (he said that in his Moonwalk book) but they did give him a settlement of 1.5 million that he donated to the Michael Jackson burn center.

Michael donated all the profits from two of his concerts to charity(the History tour and the I believe the Dangerous tour) what an amazing person to do that (because who would take all the money they made from a tour and donate it to charity not alot of people) see these are the wonderful things the media needs to be focusing on but are they hell no.

Media is always about the negative, I swear. If someone does something good they focus on it for what...ten seconds? Then spend the next 39749237592659265 years focusing on the negative and the controversies. It's ridiculous.

Thanks for the new thread!

I seriously can't stop thinking about MJ, he's in my thoughts every day, well that's also because I keep listening to his music and watching vids with him lol But I do miss him a lot, the thought of him being gone is still so hard to get Anyway, I'm still pretty sad about MJ but it's great to have a place like here to share and spread the MJ love And soon we will even have a board

I am still watching Michael Jackson video's and interviews (just because I love to hear him speak he had alot of profound things to say) and listening to his music. The more I watch all this the more and more I realize why I became a fan of Michael Jackson in the first place many many years ago.

I am really glad there is a place we can come to where it is all positive things about Michael Jackson and all the love people have for him so I cannot wait for the board to continue the Michael Jackson lovefest.

While that footage of his hair catching fire shouldn't have been shown I want to know how the hell Michael didn't realize right away his hair was on fire. Most people would know unless they can't feel pain.

^ Yeah, I'm guessing maybe he was just too caught up in the moment to have noticed.

Thanks for the new thread! I didn't even pay attention to the post count.

Oh wow, did he donate both concerts' worth?! I knew he donated all his proceeds from at least one of them, and he had donated his cut from the Victory tour. Aww, what a generous heart/soul.

Thanks for the link Roby, I hope yt keeps it up till I get home so I can listen to it

I didn't know he donated the profits from the History tour also I knew about the burn center, because he talked about that on Oprah and there was a press conference with him and pepsi which he thanked pepsi for being behind the Dangerous tour and saying he would donate all the the money from the tour for this hospital, I can't really remember which hospital right now, but it was all for children with cancer.

He truly was a remarkable human being, there aren't a lot of people in the world with so much care for the world and for people, like he was. Everything affected him so much, he was touched and concerned with others people's problems like they were his own. Truly truly a good person, with the most amazing heart and soul ever. he never did any of that to get anything in return, he did it because he cared. God I love him so much

about whatching stuff and listening to songs, I guess everyone is doing the same, I really can't listening to other singers right now, all I've been listening are his songs and his sweet voice I've always loved his songs, but after I got to a certain age and knew english, listen his songs got a lot different, cause pretty much all of them have such meaning and the lyrics are so strong, it's amazing to listen and realize that the person you love and admired cared so much to the point to write songs with such meaning.

I agree with everything you said Luka. You could tell he did all those things for the love of helping people. He was such a gracious human being. There aren't many artists like him today, which saddens me, but I think it's great that some do follow his example. I love him so much, ugh

I keep listening to Michael myself. I don't think one day has passed where I haven't played any of his music. I keep trying to switch it up, but it just keeps coming back to Michael. I'll never tire of his music. It's just too good.

Blinkybill

Wonderful post Luka and I totally agree
