Michael Joseph Jackson (Cantonese:米高積遜  Mandarin: 迈克尔·约瑟夫·杰克逊  Taiwanese Mandarin: 麥可·約瑟夫·傑克遜)

is a great singer.  I never believe that he was doing anything wrong with that little boy. Every time I put my son in my arms, I remember Michael. He must be a loving daddy! What on earth are people doing just for some money? They are selling their own souls!   I will remember him as “the true king of pop, rock and soul”. I love his music and love him! R.I.P. Michael!
