Their own fame destroyed them. They couldn't handle the money and life style.

Now, when someone proposes a Michael Jackson commemerative stamp, like Elvis, will it be the early Michael or the late Michael?

Anyone who didn't see these two as self destructive individuals are living in a fantasy world. Alot of souls die young and didn't bring on their early deaths the way these two sideshow attractions did. You play with fire you're going to get burned which obviously these two nitwits choose to ignored.

It was not unexpected at all. Both were in bad health because of poor diet, drugs etc. Sad.

Elvis was not a pedophile and did not dangle infants off balconies.

Rest in peace Michael, you will be missed.
You're another American icon who left too soon and your music is for the ages.
Continue making great music in heaven.
My condolescences to your family and may God bless your children.

Elvis had moves and songs you could understand. Jackson well it was a different era, jumping was more of his speed!! Both made more money than I will ever have in 10 lifetimes

Jacko died young?? 50 ain't young. Ask any 49 year old who's tried to run a 5K.

Jacko could have joined the Navy at 18, served 30 years, and been retired for two years.

Stating the obvious?? NITWITS? What is wrong with you? You have no idea what it was like to be Michael Jackson, you have no idea what he had to go through, you don't know what its like to have a deprived childhood, to not have any fun childhood memories. You are nothing important so you couldn't understand, so the instead you speak so ugly about the dead. Don't ever speak ugly about the dead.......

I'm sure many will try to compare Elvis with Jackson,both being very talented. Elvis opened the doors(like for Jackson) and led the path for all to follow. The Jackson 5(the osmonds,etc.) led the way for future young (family and boy)bands. new kids on the blosc, boys to men;etc. Though Michael started very young, what he did in 40 some years, will never measure up to what Elvis accoplished in 30 some years when he was alive, not to forget everything after his death; artist of the century, highest paid dead entertainer,etc.etc.

Did these 2 "nitwits" really choose to ignore or did they just not know that there was a way out? I am so sick of reading judgements from people who did not personally know the indiviuals! People are posting like their lives are perfect and they have never made any mistakes.
