this song is definitely worth the listen. from the sorrowful piano to the movie like strings added. even the talking in between and chris brown vocals makes this a classic song. the game’s lyrics are so vivid and ring true. boyz II men did there thing as well, i never heard them sound so in sync and beautiful.

They’re making a tribute to MJ and you’re here just spitting negative vibes. Let me rephrase you Caz : “You’re off and lacking respect, wtf are you doing here?”

DEAR MJ,
Im 15 years old and my only dream was to be on stage and perform and sing.I’m really at singing and playing my guitar. I want to spin and do some mean tricks and also make very powerful music that can touch ppl. When my dream DOES COME TRUE I will now and forever keep u in my heart. And even though u don’t know me, I WILL try my best to be the best just like U and to make u proud!!!!

Forever in my heart,

I appreciate any tribute made but I kinda feel like its jus for publicity. The Game is known, in my opinion, a gangbanger or w/e call it. Diddy’s seems 2 hav lost a lot of his fanbase by being an arrogant, cocky person. We all know why Chris Brown had 2 join the track & ill appreciate him much less. Ill miss Michael’s musical influence but I’m not buying n2 this song they made, it somehow feels disrespectful in a way.

May his soul forever rest in peace.

I like all these singers coming 2gether 2do something gr8, but I somehow feel its only 4 publicity n someway. The Game acts like a hoodlim & promotes uncitely(idk how2 spell it) behavior. Diddy’s seems 2hav lost half of his fanbase & we all kno what Chris Brown has done. Idk but its Browns perfect opportunity 2make his redemption & I feel like he’ll use his contributions toward Michael Jackson 2earn bak his fanbase & it kinda seems disrespectful that they would benefit over the mourning of a legends death, idk its how I feel.

May his soul forever rest in peace.

I didn’t hear any Usher or Polow da Don (unless he helped produce?). The ad-libs sounded like Boyz II Men and Mario Winans.

I like a all the positive feedback but I have to some how agree with an earlier comment made by “R.I.P. MJ.” I am greatful they are honoring the prince of pop but its all of a sudden & Boys2Men, I haven’t heard of em except if they were around during the 90’s but idk. Anywho its an ok song but I think a quite, peaceful passing after his image was damaged and turmoil struck his personal life, would be what he would want. Its too sudden and I only feel that 45% of the song is ginuwine, oh well much love to his family.

Dear Sweet Diddy,

How could one exist in this world without your knack of capitalizing on people. I must say no one can quite capitalize on a death more gracefully that Sean P. Diddy Combs.

I must openly express my satirical tone and by stating that I truly question the motives of the key organizer Diddy Bopper. The only reputable artist he has on the single is Usher and maybe the Game.

I wonder if it may have been appropriate for Quincy Jones, his family, or for heaven sakes ‘A FRIEND’, arrange this “tribute”.

Recognizing Immorality,

J
P.S.

These are my opinions and they are based on past behaviors of Mr. Combs also known as the devil!!!

Love the songs! This is not about Chris and someone said that Beyonce should do a song; she was the one who was clowning their family couple months age. If beyonce do something for Mike is it for the fame!!!!!!!!!!!

You know when they did that MTV icon special for Janet Jackson 7/8 years ago? Did they end up doing one for MJ? I think if they did an MTV icon tribute like they did for Janet then that would be better. BET is not all that TBH and MTV would have more people watching if they did it there.He is a music legend that will be sorely missed by many. R.I.P MJ.

A friend called Michael Jackson the king of music period! I will say in our time is there any other than MJ, the showmanship, the music, the attitude etc. What became of him in the later years was a shame and tainted things a bit maybe but do not begrudge him the gigantic impact he had on popular culture and the music landscape. “He with out sin you know the rest”, Ladies and gentlemen the Legend that was Micheal Jackson (RIP) – onethebuzz.com
