I've read and heard that Michael was a very gentle soul and people took advantage of him. Every time I saw him interviewed, I remember thinking of how soft spoken he was. He had a quality like no one I had seen before.

I love his music. I was never happy about what he did to himself and his appearance. I thought he was so cute when the Jackson Five was popular. I've always wondered if he did all the surgeries to try to hide from something. I saw him in the masks all the time too. I never heard why he was wearing them.

Some people want to live their lives to the fullest and go out with a bang. I guess we'll never know if that's how he was thinking. It's sad to see his children so lost without him. I agree that he shouldn't have died when he did. He could have been so scared of the upcoming tour that it terrified him into another world, if that makes sense.
