    Janet looked like an angel….And Michael is in heaven showing God how to dance and sing. Stop the hate no matter where it comes from or what it’s about. Michael is gone and that’s all we should be feeling. He’s Gone…And I for one will never get the chance to see him in this life…But I for one….defended him and chariched him and will forever do so. My heart goes to all those who loved Michael especially those from his family that truly loved him.
