Michael Jackson will never be forgotten. I'm happy to see that people are still honouring him a year after his death. I look forward to seeing "Gone Too Soon", the new documentary about his final days. It should be very interesting.

It is sooooooo said to see good things being said about people only after they've passed away.Michael neede more of these love when he was here with us,but instead we(the world) pushed him to his grave.Hopefully MICHAEL can find a way to feel all the love we the fans have for him,we miss him soooo much and i will always love him.

Although to honor Michael only after he'd passed is a little late, it is glad to find the media is gradually giving back what Michael deserved long ago.However it appears that no honorary recognition has been given to his humanitarian work except on the Guinness records. Do we need to voice for that too?
