Michael Jackson

It's said that the world is ended 2012, since we have lost one of the most important Luminous person in this planet, assurance you went away of this world to sow your music, energy and love in another place, your mission here ended and now it's in us to follow your way and try to change this world for something better.

Michael Jackson is no longer

Michael Jackson is no longer with us but he will always be in our hearts. No one can count the amount of MJ's fans. Such a beloved person or celebrity is really hard. The people using his name on bad purpose like making spam or virus, should ashamed of themselves. Whatever the media says about him our love for him will never be less. We hope at least after his death all will show some respect to him but if couldn't please don't throw dust to his name.

Thank you all.
George
