5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching Tribute to Michael Jackson, July 10, 2009

This review is from: Michael Jackson: A Farewell to the King of Pop (Amazon.com Exclusive) (DVD)

No artist in history has touched as many lives as Michael Jackson. That's evident in this documentary film shot at his memorial service in Los Angeles. The film focuses on the fans that came from all over the world to be near MJ and say goodbye. Sharing their stories about Michael, how he impacted their lives and what his music meant to them. Very personal accounts from real fans, much different than the rehearsed speeches we've all seen on TV. If you couldn't be there in person at Staples Center, this is the next best thing. A great way to remember the man and his music. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Legend never dies, August 3, 2009

This review is from: Michael Jackson: A Farewell to the King of Pop (Amazon.com Exclusive) (DVD)

Incredibly depressing and uplifting at the same time. Don't even bother to try to keep from crying. Not only does it show how many fans he had, but just how much he touched the lives of so many people on a personal level, people he never met and knew existed. What I like about it is these are just regular people, just like me and you and we all have one common bond in Michael Jackson and that we were fans and loved and cared about him.

I can't even stand to see the word "Farewell" in relation to him. But if you are still very emotional over his passing I think this will give you that "You Are Not Alone" feeling and it will make you feel good to be among people who feel the same way. I have been a fan since "Off the Wall" since I wasn't around for J5, but I became a fan after that fact. My fandom for him only got bigger. I'm grateful I lived in an era to see him and be alive in this world with him, and to witness a true LEGEND. I will never, never, ever forget him. I miss him so much. We fans will keep his spirit alive for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars In your words, Michael: "Heal the world....Be God's glow..."., August 3, 2009

Michael, although a few years older than you, I grew up with your music, as it evolved; I evovled along with it. Thank you for that. I've heard it said that God picks the brighest flowers in his garden first, and I believe He did that with you, too. May you rest in peace in the Kingdom you have earned.

This video will be a keepsake for me. You were a part of my life; and now your life is a part of my soul. It was good to hear the comments of others throughout the video that resonated with my own thoughts; moved me to tears; and moved me to smiles. You meant the world to much of the world. You excelled despite the many roadblocks thrown in your journey down life's trail, and for that, I commend you and hope I can do even a small part of what you accomplished to further the arts and the status of all mankind through your magnificent talent.

The end of the video, with final notes by Nelson Mandela, were so moving. I had to take time to let my emotional cup overflow -- and then mop up the teary-eyed mess - ha-ha. But it's true. You moved me in many ways and in the final analysis I have to question my own life and whether I have done a fraction of what you accomplished in your short time on earth. I fear I fall short, but I will move forward with these words you wrote and sung: "Heal the world...Be God's glow". That, now, is my mission.
