Lanette’s comments from the Remembrance Of Michael Jackson group.

Wow. Great intro. Michael's fan went crazzzzzy! for him. Yes, I knew that he could draw. His book of poetry, Dancing the Dream is supposed to have a lot of his drawings inside. Last I checked, it wasn't available as a reprint on Amazon yet, but is at Amazon UK. I'm sure that eventually they'll reprint it here. Would love to see more of his art work.

I realize that he had Vitiligo. I was responding to the "he used to be black" remark, as if having Vitiligo changes ones ethnicity. I was also referring to the cream/medication that he needed to even out his skin tone.

He technically is still african-american, he just has lighter skin."

There is no such thing as being "technically black."
If you were born black, you die black, regardless of what you've done cosmetically.

Too many to count. As a solo artist he had bout 7 albums. I can't count the albums when he was part of the Jackson 5, of which he sang lead on all but a hand full of the hundreds of songs that they recorded.
Also, as a motown soloist (when he was also still a part of J5) he recorded hundreds of songs! They also had many albums as the Jacksons.

I agree with you on that. They are still obsessed with spouting more garbage about MJ, even if none of it makes any sense. But, in time, I know that all of this will calm, Michael will retain his superstardom as is his rightful status on earth and he will be left to truly rest in peace. This is going to take some time, but it will happen.

I'm not crying, but have been enjoying a lot of MJ's music and all of the great footage on youtube. I don't think I'm going to be feeling better until the family bury's the poor guy's remains. It's been a month, but I understand the delay. And then maybe not until after the media is done picking him apart and moves on to the next victim. But his music is reallly helping me.

Michael Jackson always put a smile on my face. I loved all of his music and I have too many favorites to name. I know that we all must leave, but, if only Michael could have had more time. I'm sure missing him. I have always been a die-hard fan; always been for Michael Jackson, his soul seemed so pure to me. I want to believe that there is a place where pure souls go and that he is in that place.
