How would you remember Michael Jackson?

I prefer to remember Michael Jackson as he was during his earlier years. Regretfully, his later years were too fraught with scandal and self-abuse and he looked too much like a dark-haired Caucasian woman. However, I remember the good old days when Michael Jackson was a fine African-American kid, who spent most of his growing-up years as the cute central figure of the Jackson Five, and then his young adult years in a solo career, perfecting his own dancing and singing style, which would serve as an inspiration for many other singers and video artists. He took pride in his work! Now that is the Michael Jackson that I know and like. By the way, did you know that Michael Jackson and the whole Jackson family may never had made it big in the music and entertainment business if the family television set had not malfunctioned back in the 1960s? Since their father could not afford to have the TV set repaired, the family had to find other ways to entertain themselves, and they finally did so by entertaining others. The Jackson Five group was created in 1967, and the rest is history!

Well i remember him for his music. His concert tours with an overwhelming number of security just to make it push through! His unique dance steps. Everything about music. I don't care much about what's going on with him personally. As a musician, i do believe he's the King of Pop. Nothing compares. He's every 80's child music icon. A lot of kids mimic his moves and some had a kickstart for a music career. Rest in peace Michael!

Iam a fan of Michael Jackson. I will never forget him. I beleive that he is the best of all the singers. Actually, I bought his CD. I really love it. He voice is really amazing. I will always remember him by listening to all of his songs.

I feel extremely sorry for Michael Jackson, the manner in which his last years were spent amidst the worst kind of malicious gossip and controversies. Just when he was planning to make a come back, he was taken away forever. I have always felt that his was the typical case of a celebrity made, manipulated, and abused by the media and the gossip hungry public. I hope that at least now he finds peace and eternal rest

I will remember him for the song ABC that he sang with his brother. That is my favorite song of his.

I remember Michael Jackson with his 1982 album which included the block buster hist Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller remains the biggest selling album of al time with more than 26 million copies.

I think about him most in the period of Thriller. I think that was his best work ever. Although he was so very talented that album was just something that could never be repeated. He was truly one of a kind. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

Hi, My sincere condolence and pray that he be rested in the heavenly abode. If anything that crossed my opinion it is that trend setter. No doubt that he was a good singer and good dancer the phenomenal thing that his music brought to Western Music was a new trend.

I would remember him as a good singer, and i will not talk for now about the controversies of his case on kids. Anyway I will just talk about him as a singer. I remember him singing, Ben, I'll be There, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Mommy Kissing Santa Claus as his classic songs. About the new songs I like the song Heal the World. I also remember how people dance the hit song of Thriller, Billy Jean, Bad and Black or White. Happy Mylotting.

I am from the MTV generation so I remember him most for his videos. He was alway on the cutting edge, Billy Jean, Thriller, and Black and White ( I still remember when that came out and the end of it where the people all morphed into each other )all blew us away when they came out. Even for the few people who didn't like his music liked his videos. I studied video production and his videos were always in our discussions.

His music will always remind us his presence and also that he had been always in controversies..No one is this world is like him. He was unique and different.

I will remember Michael Jackson as the Jacko, who bleached his skin white and the best moonwalk dancer of all time. Of course, I will remember his songs which are all beautiful and relays humane, romantic and feel good messages but I will also remember his picture of holding a child hanging in the balcony. I will remember my favorite song You Are Not Alone and the disco hits that Jacko had give us. I will remember the man who is called King of Pop.

i remember Michael Jackson from Thriller he's a king pop star with a great voice very talented (r.i.p) may he rest in peace....... he's in a better place.......

I will always remember him by his moon walk and his one of the famous songs "Dangerous" which has gained great popularity everywhere. I will always remember him by his contributions made in the field of music, there is no one like him and there will be no one like him. His break dance steps were fabulous which became widely known and esteemed among young generation. the world will never see another Michael Jackson and hence his contributions in the field of music is truly memorable.

Michael jackson was an inspiration to a lot of people he was a good kind humanitarian, he hated war and loved peace and also sang many songs saying that, he loved his fans and loved to mix with them when he could. He was a child at heart as he had never had a childhood when he was young-his dad took that away from him. My hope is that he will be remembered for the talented unique person he is and was, he was quite an exeptional person,,,LoLo

"Give Love on Christmas Day" is the my most favorite song of Michael Jackson. I was so stunned with the exceptional tone of the singer. I got curious who is Michael Jackson and I was surprised to see that he is a simple black boy singing along with his brothers. I have always preferred his original looks and was so disgusted when he opted to transform his looks.

Hi Neil, Remember A.B.C, Ben and Billy Jean and many more. He will be miss, what a fantastic singer he was and yes he sang it from his heart. Hugs. Tamara

Jeeze - I only just heard (couldn't sleep so came here) I thought it was a hoax at first. I love all his 80s stuff - Billy Jean, Thriller ... for me, the dancing was what clinched it, man that guy could dance!

I will always remember him as a very talented singer which creates an iconic figure for himself as a singer, a songwriter, and also as a dancer. He created moonwalk, making the best selling album of all time, a long-career achievement since a little child, and of course the bizzaro he's created in recent years just making him hard to forget and definitely cemented himself as the world's greatest talent of all time. RIP Jacko.

i guess ill remember the King of Pop with his child molestations =P -JOKE- =P
