  1. I'm not a his fan, but I like just one of his music. The music title is 'ben'. When I first heard about the music, I thought the singer is girl, because his voice is so beautiful. I was very impressed about the truth that the singer is boy. I don't know about Michael Jackson well, but when I heard about his death, I was very surprised.

  2. I like him very much. SO when I heard that news in my home(with my family), I didn't believe that.
    I was his sincerely fan(since when he was Jackson five). Did you heard "I'll be there" or "Your not alone" or "Heal the world"? It is my favorite songs.
    I can't agree his eccentric lifestyle, but I didn't care about it. because his music world is so amazing.
    I grown up with his music, and I learn the English from his album first(when I 5 years old). I'll miss him.
