I have been a Michael Jackson fan all my life. I was grading papers and watching TV when the news broke. I was in shock and then I couldn't stop crying. Such a sad day.
my heart broke when he passed. I have been a huge fan of Michael since as long as I can remember. I made sure that I wasn't at work when his funeral was live on tv. I needed to be part of that moment. it meant something to me. it was like losing a best friend. RIP sweet MJ, you will always be loved💗💗
Man my mom who loved him entirely since she first came to this country broke the news to a pregnant me and I could not believe it and felt so incredibly ill the next few days I was so devastated
Michael and Farrah Fawcett died the same day! Both wonderful human beans! I knew a lot about Michael with the problems he had! What a dancer and singer! I still love to listen to him! Thank you everyday Scott for all the hard work you do for us! Another perfect video! Appreciate your work😃
I was a UCLA student at the time and I was on campus when he was transported to the hospital there. I've never seen so much chaos and emotion. Will never forget
Was at work as an apprentice chef in Brisbane Australia just before lunch service. My mother had passed just a few months earlier. That felt like another big part of my childhood hood dissolved. I didn’t believe it when I first heard. The Dangerous album was the first cassette I ever got, remember listening too & loving.
i'd just sat down for dinner here in australia and saw it on the evening news. didn't believe it at first and frantically switched channels to see if anyone else was reporting it. once it sank in i just cried. i've lost so many family members that i sort of bottled up any emotion when someone died but when they televised his memorial service i think i mourned not only for Michael that day but every family member i've ever lost as well. grew up listening to the jackson 5 then followed his solo career right up until that tragic day. now forty something (ugh i'm so old) years later i still love listening to his music. RIP King of Pop!
June 25 still at school? here in Italy the lessons end on June 7, however I remember very well when Michael died, I learned of his death the next day, my mother gave me the terrible news and I cried all day, Michael Jackson was the idol of my childhood and I will always love it
I was driving home and I heard this on the radio station and I was just about hit ..the other driver was a big fan of Michael Jackson..thanks for sharing this with your followers Scott
Scott I was at home with Kaylee who had a broken foot when I heard a breaking news alert on the news and I was glued to the tv! Just like Prince and Kobe I will never forget where I was when I found out!!
Hi girl. I remember all of those as well. There are certain people who've brought joy to the masses & we'll never forget the gifts they gave or when they left us.
His passing broke my damn heart. Rest in paradise MJ. I was coming home from school when my cousin texted my mom about Michael Passing. Such a sad depressing day.
Still hard to believe he’s gone. Thanks for this video, Scott!! ❤️ To answer your question, I was at Chuck E Cheese, with my daughter, when I heard the news.
Michael Jackson was in many ways larger than life . It seemed everything he touched musically was gold . I was in a hospital with my husband in Ft. Myers , FL but I only heard about Farrah Faucet passing . I've since found that it was the same day when he passed . When I heard , my heart sank . I remember singing his songs all the time . Weird Al did spin offs of some of his songs . They were meant to be funny . I also remember his video appearing MTV , which was new on cable , with the song Billie Jean . Somewhere in the group of cable / MTV , it had become a huge issue about putting a " Black " singer on MTV . None of them wanted to show / air his video . There were still some very serious bias / racism happening . It seemed he wasn't recognized as a music artist . But eventually MTV gave in and played his video . It blew the roof off MTV . Because of Michael Jackson it broke the industry not for just music , but also black artists on MTV . Michael did a tremendous amount for people everywhere . He gave a young Mr White a friend when he needed one - - - HIV from a blood transfusion . Michael raised money to help feed the starving children in Africa with " We Are The World " song . He visited hospitals all over the world to give children some happiness . To forget their troubles for a bit . Neverland was also a place where anyone could go to feel young again including him . But in the 90's people started abusing him financially . Then they decided that he had so much money that they would accuse him of horrific things . For the record I know if someones body has been assaulted , and those two men were not assaulted by Michael . But they insisted they were and kept Michael going in and out of court over that crap . They were simply trying to get all the money they could out of him . I would never be saying that Michael was innocent of all this crap unless I truly believed it and knew it in my heart . I spent almost all my life studying people and animals . I know what either of them is going to do before they do it . Unfortunately I also knew that at least one was going to be a huge issue for him . Unfortunately I was right , though I didn't want to be . Michael was also a huge animal person . But as much as he loved animals , he also knew when it was time for them to move on safely to a zoo ( the monkey he had ) . I heard in one video interview he did that he had to release the monkey to a zoo because the monkey was slowly becoming dangerously aggressive to all including Michael . It became a safety issue . There were many things that Michael did to try to make this world a better place to be but he only broke ground . He left it to us to continue what he started . I have already been doing what I can to bring love and understanding to this world . It's time for everyone else to take a look at themselves and ask " what more can I give ?".
That is not true about MTV. I was there with MTV from the time they first aired. There were many black artists featured on MTV. As for his innocence, only he knows and his accusers, the public will never know. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.. The day of his death, it was all over the news, Farrah took the back seat when she died the same day.. I grew up with the Jackson’s, loved their music, and Michael’s music, especially the Thriller album. But as for personal life, you can’t possibly know.
Thanks for the video Scott… when Micheal died our generation lost a peace of their youth … Stacey from Manchester 😇 I had a ticket for his show in London it would of been my first time seeing him 🥲
I was at work. When the news broke and I cried. I met Michael Jackson in 1985 after his concert in Philadelphia and my aunt was his dress Coordinator and was able to meet him after the concert. My aunt was dating Tito Jackson at the time
You are by far my favorite you tuber. Thank you so very much for all of your content and videos. It feels like we’re there. I also adore your kind heart and soul and the way you show so much respect in all your videos. ❤️
To answer your question I remember that day so so well. I was at work here in California and I saw some of the news popping up on the computer that he was taken to the hospital then saw the announcements flooding news sites and finally we heard it on the radio. I was devastated. RIP Michael.
I remember like it was yesterday... I was with my sister and niece, we were driving from Albany, Oregon to Los Angeles on a 10 day vacation. We had just made it to Sacramento. I remember the next day we went to that house he died at and omg it was insane sooooo many fans leaving flowers, signs, pictures, balloons... I'll never forget. RIP MJ
I was at Walmart with my two kids. I was in total shock when my son told me as result of a text message from his friend. A very sad day 😞😢 R.I.P. Michael Jackson 🙏💕
Married to my current husband and living in Austin,Tx when I found out about his death and also hearing about Farrah Fawcett's death. I cried like a baby for days.
It was really a sad sad day. I remember hearing about it when I was working in the hospital. It was like the hospital busyness stopped & everyone was glued to a TV nearby either in the waiting room or patient’s rooms.
I was at work at the Norfolk international airport, I worked in a restaurant, it was on every TV in the airport! Everyone stopped and was glued to the TVs ! When I drove home , everyone was playing his songs, just could stop crying, I just loved him! And I miss him to this day! So so heart Breaking!
I was at a friend's house that day in Fall City, WA. We were 17 and 18 at the time. We were doing our own thing: my friend was playing Xbox, me on the computer. And then this headline popped up, and it read: "Michael Jackson Dead at 50". I got my friend's attention, and we just couldn't believe what was happening. After his death we listened to a lot of Michael Jackson's music, and we've been huge fans ever since.
I’ve got say, each time I hear his name, I still get a deep sense of sadness… I was home making dinner when I heard the dreadful news come blaring out of my radio. I kept wanting to believe it was fake news. However, it was unfortunately reality and that took some time to sink in…. Truly a sad, sad day. 🌻
I was at the hospital meeting with my husband’s doctor to discuss his medical condition. Two days later I made the hardest decision of my life and that was telling the doctor to turn the machines off that were keeping my husband alive.
I was at School when the news broke out, came home fast an hour later, my grandma told me Michael had died and I remember I was just stuck to the tv watching the news with tears pouring down my face 😪💔
Just got done with my route 5pm from Usps Troy, MI. Heard it on the radio in the office. Cried all the way home. So sad 😔 I won tickets from pepsi in 84 to see him in Detroit. Cool concert. Loved MJ.
I remember the day so well , here in Australia it was the morning of the 26th , I was getting my daughter ready to go to school No one could believe it , then on the drive to school , it was confirmed , I remember the exact house we were driving past From then on all the radio stations started playing Michael’s songs 😔
I was in my guest room when I received a chain letter that he died. I thought it was a joke. Went in my living room turned on the TV and there it was "MJ dead at 50". I froze, called my mom and her reply was "girl get off my phone". He was everything to me.
I was home when he passed away I cried for a mth it still hurts when he died I went to his home when I went to California it was erriei miss him so much hell forever be loved and missed
I was in a patient's room passing noon medications. I was a registered nurse. I had been a fan for years and have tons of memorabilia. My father always had music on of all types. So I had grown up listening to him and his family's music. It's still hard to believe that such a talented soul and gentle soul was taken out of this world and home so soon. I just turned 50 and that is a long way from being old. It seems like the people who are really changing the world into a better place always die before their time. My heart goes out to his children and family
I heard this sad news on my car radio while driving home from work. I was shocked and saddened. I have always and will always love his music. RIP Michael
I was on MySpace and saw a status. I thought they were kidding honestly. Or that it was one of those mistaken celebrity death rumors. When I realized it was for real, I cried and lit candles. I said prayers for him and the Jackson Family.
I sat down on the sofa with my mom I turn on the TV I saw the news and i was in tears when I the news I used to be my fan of Michael and I still am I'll never get you michael
I’m a huge MJ fan, I can remember that day like it was yesterday I was with my mom going outside and a neighbor of ours saw us in the elevator saying “Did you hear that Michael Jackson passed away”? and of course we didn’t take him seriously because you know with Michael the press makes up a lot of nonsense about him so I didn’t believe it so we ran our errands and came back home and I rushed to turn the news on and it was all over the news and I started balling because I couldn’t believe it, it was such a sad day I remember it was very cloudy outside🥺
I was at my mother's house with my two-year-old son on the computer burning a cd. This is the 1st time my mother cried over over a celebrity. She and Michael Jackson were the same age so that's why she connected with him so well and grew on his music side-by-side with him She's the one that told me
I was a huge Michael jackson fan, I was going to the this is it concert in London. I pictures all over my wall... I remember I was sitting in my living room and my mum shouted me out to the kitchen where she had a tv and it’s was scrolling at the bottom of the screen Michael Jackson has been taken to hospital and maybe 2 minutes later breaking news Michael Jackson dead at 50. My heart sunk I cried my self to sleep that night.. that was a day I will never forget it really did change the world both his death and the trial. Michael Jackson stayed in the news for about 2 weeks after he died. I’m so greatful I lived in the era he did. God rest his soul! Thank you for the video Scott you never fail keep up the good work.. love from UK 💖💖💖
OMG I'm lost for words Scott, I kinds feel bad that I use the same words on you about how amazing you are. But I'm so grateful you did this video. I remember I was in my bedroom watching a TV series when I first got the news. I thought it was a joke but upon checking the news I found it was true. Still a shock to this day. You are an amazing human being Scott, you do videos like this for people like me who lives on the otherside of the world. I want you to know your hard work and travelling is never gone to waste and its always recognised by me and your other subscribers and your such a humble down to earth guy as I said from day one. Keep up the amazing work. We love you.
@@SCOTTONTAPE your welcome. My name is actually difficult to pronounce but it really is simple lol its Akhlaq. It's an Arabic name even though I'm not Arabic. My surname is Ahmed which is where the AA on my username comes from. As you already gathered from my username I'm also a videographer and a photographer. But of course if you find my name difficult to pronounce just call me Aky as others do or call me what you like lol. Thanks for reaching out to ask me though, it shows you do care unlike many youtubers lol
I remember exactly what I was doing that day. I was living in Santa Ana California with my ex at the time and I had the day off from work that day. it was in the middle of the afternoon I was washing dishes and listening to the radio and the station I was listening to interrupted the song playing to say he had died. I ran to the T.V. In my room and it was literally on every channel I couldn’t believe it. I loved him and he was the first musician I remember actually really liking as a child. I use to dress up and dance to his music all the time. He the reason I started taking voice lessons and dance lessons. Hope he’s at peace now ❤️❤️❤️
I was in 8th grade in mumbai India when he passed my dad has a habit of watching news.. and there was a sudden headline of the biggest pop star passing away.
I was watching TV with my precious mother so I saw the very first breaking news report. I'd seen overhead shots of the home before but I was surprised in your video as to how massive the place is. No matter how beautiful it is, I don't think I could live there because of what happened. Hello to the lovely ladies from Chi town if you see this. MJ and I are close in age so I've loved him since the beginning of The Jackson Five. Good video, Scott! RIP, Michael. 💔
I honestly don't even remember hearing Michael had passed, honestly wasn't a fan of his. I was pretty unwell at that time and concentrating on my health. Great video, you're such a lovely guy and so down to earth. You were so nice to those ladies. Another awesome video Scott ✌💛
Thanks for the video Scott, great work as usual. Like you I was a big Michael Jackson fan growing up. I was at home in New Zealand when I heard he had passed away. A very sad day for me
I was at home sick from school that day I was in high school I was a junior, I remember watching it on the news. such a sad day I loved michael miss him
I remember being at Cedar Point in Ohio walking back to the hotel. Heard the news on the TV when I got back in the hotel room. Thanks for the video. I always loved his music and still do.
I dont care what anyone says, Michael Jackson wasn't a pedophile, he was just a man, who never had a normal childhood, and wanted to do and act the way a child would of done, once he had the chance to, R.I.P MJ 💙🙏🌹🕊
I agree 100%. Michael was a very misunderstood person. He wanted to enjoy all the childhood activities that he missed out on. It breaks my heart for him.
Kids say otherwise. I had posters of him on my wall, but who invites kids over for a “sleepover” unless it’s with kid friends? If he wasn’t who he was no parent in their right mind would allow that.
I was in my living room watching TV when I heard Michael Jackson being air lifted to the hospital. It was devastating 💔💔💔I couldn't believe or even want to believe. I grew up listening to him and watching him on tv with hes great voice and great moves. What an great singer & entertainor he was. RIP Michael no matter what anybody says I know you're moonwalking on the moon❤️❤️❤️
i was at home still grieving my fathers passing as it only been about a month. But i just remember walking into our huge kitchen and my brother was watching TV and he said it. And i was like huh? I was shocked too, but funny thing i didnt know MUCH about him then I was 13 and ever since that day i became hooked on him for the next 4 years.
I was at home putting dinner on the table ( I'm 3 hours ahead of California time), when the news report came through stating that Michael had died :'( I've been a big fan of Michael's since he was a part of the Jackson 5, I grew up in his era. It tore me up pretty badly when this happened and I will never forget this wonderfully talented and gentle man. RIP #MichaelJackson , you may be gone from this world but you will never be forgotten...FACT!!!!
Not fan of Michael at all but can't hate on what he did in his career with his music . Big up Scott always doing amazing videos must of watched everyone by now love it💯💯
I can't believe it's been a long time since 2009 since Michael Jackson passed away so young at age 50!! I still miss him so much but I still listen to his music and watch both of his movies this is it and the live concert in Bucharest!! You'll always be in my heart Mr. Jackson I love you❤️❤️❤️ God bless you rest in peace!!!,😥💔🙏🏿🙏🏿 & boy it really shocked me when I was coming home from work I was so shocked I was soaking in tears when I heard about the news our favorite King of Pop Star passed away!!
I was in hospital in Australia fighting for my life and woke to it on the news. I know you’re a huge George Michael fan as well. It was also his birthday. I have just found your channel and love what you do
Thank you for the video for Michael Jackson. I Love him. He got me through my childhood and more. I was in a part of Harlem or Washington Heights in absolute shock when I got the news of his passing. My instinct was to go to the Apollo Theatre on 125th Street NYC, there were hundreds of us there. 🌹
Great vlog as ever. I was staying at my sister's home in Ireland when I heard he died. Spookily enough, I was also in my sister's home when George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and Robin Williams all died. Bizarre that this always happens when I am on vacation there.
its so so sad as i truely loved him and his music I was in my garden when I heard he had died so I planted a rose to his memory which grows great every year
I’ll never forget where I was or what I was doing , I was at a local bar playing pool waiting for the trivia games to start and I was so distraught I couldn’t even play trivia ,,, I cried for weeks … I still cry ,, I cry more for him than certain family members ,, that’s crazy
I have been a Michael Jackson fan all my life. I was grading papers and watching TV when the news broke. I was in shock and then I couldn't stop crying. Such a sad day.
I was pulling into the Walmart parking lot when I heard about Michael Jackson. Poor Farrah Fawcett lost her battle the same day. Sad day.
I was at work still cannot believe to this day I will always be a Michael jackson fan and it was such a beautiful house
Fan forever ❤
Iwasatworkstillcannotbelievetothisday
I was driving home from work and heard it on the radio, couldn't believe it. Only the Good die young. RIP Michael
my heart broke when he passed. I have been a huge fan of Michael since as long as I can remember. I made sure that I wasn't at work when his funeral was live on tv. I needed to be part of that moment. it meant something to me. it was like losing a best friend. RIP sweet MJ, you will always be loved💗💗
True❤ he was such a sweet person and humanitarian
Yes!
Man my mom who loved him entirely since she first came to this country broke the news to a pregnant me and I could not believe it and felt so incredibly ill the next few days I was so devastated
I was at work and was shocked. There will NEVER be another like Michael 💙
Michael and Farrah Fawcett died the same day! Both wonderful human beans! I knew a lot about Michael with the problems he had! What a dancer and singer! I still love to listen to him! Thank you everyday Scott for all the hard work you do for us! Another perfect video! Appreciate your work😃
I was a UCLA student at the time and I was on campus when he was transported to the hospital there. I've never seen so much chaos and emotion. Will never forget
Sad day for all who were a micheal Jackson fan! I loved his music and still do! I listen to it religiously and wish he was still here to this day!
Same here love Michael Jackson music and a big fan wish he was still here 💕✌👑🇬🇧
Was at work as an apprentice chef in Brisbane Australia just before lunch service. My mother had passed just a few months earlier. That felt like another big part of my childhood hood dissolved. I didn’t believe it when I first heard. The Dangerous album was the first cassette I ever got, remember listening too & loving.
Good album. Why you wanna trip on me was a good song
I miss Michael.I grew up on his music since the early 80s.It hit me hard when I found out he had passed.R.I.P. Mr.Jackson 😞
I Love Michael Jackson
Music Changed my Life ..!
I am Sorry for Jackson Family
i'd just sat down for dinner here in australia and saw it on the evening news. didn't believe it at first and frantically switched channels to see if anyone else was reporting it. once it sank in i just cried.
i've lost so many family members that i sort of bottled up any emotion when someone died but when they televised his memorial service i think i mourned not only for Michael that day but every family member i've ever lost as well.
grew up listening to the jackson 5 then followed his solo career right up until that tragic day. now forty something (ugh i'm so old) years later i still love listening to his music. RIP King of Pop!
I was in class and when the news broke the school let us out right then and there. Mad respect ✊🏻
Wow! What area was that school? Do you remember the time? Lou-Lou 🇬🇧
June 25 still at school? here in Italy the lessons end on June 7, however I remember very well when Michael died, I learned of his death the next day, my mother gave me the terrible news and I cried all day, Michael Jackson was the idol of my childhood and I will always love it

Wow that’s awesome Scott! There’s so many things I wanna see in that area. Hoping to make it to LA next year! Glad you got to see it again 😎👍👍
I remember this day. RIP Michael. You are missed.
Just got done with my route 5pm from Usps Troy, MI. Heard it on the radio in the office. Cried all the way home. So sad 😔 I won tickets from pepsi in 84 to see him in Detroit. Cool concert. Loved MJ.
I remember the day so well , here in Australia it was the morning of the 26th , I was getting my daughter ready to go to school
No one could believe it , then on the drive to school , it was confirmed , I remember the exact house we were driving past
From then on all the radio stations started playing Michael’s songs 😔
This is so exciting. Thank you for sharing with us. 🤗🇨🇦
I was in my guest room when I received a chain letter that he died. I thought it was a joke. Went in my living room turned on the TV and there it was "MJ dead at 50". I froze, called my mom and her reply was "girl get off my phone". He was everything to me.
Your mom must have shed a tear and cried hee hee afterwards
I was on a Mediterranean Cruise ship. Loved Michael Jackson since I was a kid. R.I.P. King of Pop!
I was home when he passed away I cried for a mth it still hurts when he died I went to his home when I went to California it was erriei miss him so much hell forever be loved and missed
Big fan of Michael Jackson's!! Loved him and his music. He is still on the top of my play list
I was in a patient's room passing noon medications. I was a registered nurse. I had been a fan for years and have tons of memorabilia. My father always had music on of all types. So I had grown up listening to him and his family's music. It's still hard to believe that such a talented soul and gentle soul was taken out of this world and home so soon. I just turned 50 and that is a long way from being old. It seems like the people who are really changing the world into a better place always die before their time. My heart goes out to his children and family
I heard this sad news on my car radio while driving home from work. I was shocked and saddened. I have always and will always love his music. RIP Michael
I was on MySpace and saw a status. I thought they were kidding honestly. Or that it was one of those mistaken celebrity death rumors. When I realized it was for real, I cried and lit candles. I said prayers for him and the Jackson Family.
I sat down on the sofa with my mom I turn on the TV I saw the news and i was in tears when I the news I used to be my fan of Michael and I still am I'll never get you michael
Another great video Scott 🤘You’re the King!
I’m a huge MJ fan, I can remember that day like it was yesterday I was with my mom going outside and a neighbor of ours saw us in the elevator saying “Did you hear that Michael Jackson passed away”? and of course we didn’t take him seriously because you know with Michael the press makes up a lot of nonsense about him so I didn’t believe it so we ran our errands and came back home and I rushed to turn the news on and it was all over the news and I started balling because I couldn’t believe it, it was such a sad day I remember it was very cloudy outside🥺
I was at my mother's house with my two-year-old son on the computer burning a cd. This is the 1st time my mother cried over over a celebrity. She and Michael Jackson were the same age so that's why she connected with him so well and grew on his music side-by-side with him She's the one that told me
I was a huge Michael jackson fan, I was going to the this is it concert in London. I pictures all over my wall... I remember I was sitting in my living room and my mum shouted me out to the kitchen where she had a tv and it’s was scrolling at the bottom of the screen Michael Jackson has been taken to hospital and maybe 2 minutes later breaking news Michael Jackson dead at 50. My heart sunk I cried my self to sleep that night.. that was a day I will never forget it really did change the world both his death and the trial. Michael Jackson stayed in the news for about 2 weeks after he died. I’m so greatful I lived in the era he did. God rest his soul! Thank you for the video Scott you never fail keep up the good work.. love from UK 💖💖💖
OMG I'm lost for words Scott, I kinds feel bad that I use the same words on you about how amazing you are. But I'm so grateful you did this video. I remember I was in my bedroom watching a TV series when I first got the news. I thought it was a joke but upon checking the news I found it was true. Still a shock to this day. You are an amazing human being Scott, you do videos like this for people like me who lives on the otherside of the world. I want you to know your hard work and travelling is never gone to waste and its always recognised by me and your other subscribers and your such a humble down to earth guy as I said from day one. Keep up the amazing work. We love you.
Thank you! What is your name by the way ?
@@SCOTTONTAPE your welcome. My name is actually difficult to pronounce but it really is simple lol its Akhlaq. It's an Arabic name even though I'm not Arabic. My surname is Ahmed which is where the AA on my username comes from. As you already gathered from my username I'm also a videographer and a photographer. But of course if you find my name difficult to pronounce just call me Aky as others do or call me what you like lol. Thanks for reaching out to ask me though, it shows you do care unlike many youtubers lol
I remember exactly what I was doing that day. I was living in Santa Ana California with my ex at the time and I had the day off from work that day. it was in the middle of the afternoon I was washing dishes and listening to the radio and the station I was listening to interrupted the song playing to say he had died. I ran to the T.V. In my room and it was literally on every channel I couldn’t believe it. I loved him and he was the first musician I remember actually really liking as a child. I use to dress up and dance to his music all the time. He the reason I started taking voice lessons and dance lessons. Hope he’s at peace now ❤️❤️❤️
Wow so precise of a memory how amazing. And that’s awesome that MJ inspired you like that!
I was in 8th grade in mumbai India when he passed my dad has a habit of watching news.. and there was a sudden headline of the biggest pop star passing away.
I was watching TV with my precious mother so I saw the very first breaking news report. I'd seen overhead shots of the home before but I was surprised in your video as to how massive the place is. No matter how beautiful it is, I don't think I could live there because of what happened. Hello to the lovely ladies from Chi town if you see this. MJ and I are close in age so I've loved him since the beginning of The Jackson Five. Good video, Scott! RIP, Michael. 💔
I honestly don't even remember hearing Michael had passed, honestly wasn't a fan of his. I was pretty unwell at that time and concentrating on my health. Great video, you're such a lovely guy and so down to earth. You were so nice to those ladies. Another awesome video Scott ✌💛
Thanks for the video Scott, great work as usual. Like you I was a big Michael Jackson fan growing up. I was at home in New Zealand when I heard he had passed away. A very sad day for me
When MJ died, I was napping at 6 months pregnant. I was crying so hard watching the news! It was a very sad day!
I was at home sick from school that day I was in high school I was a junior, I remember watching it on the news. such a sad day I loved michael miss him
i was on lunch break and saw it on the news i was so sad
Love this bro 😎
Still seems so surreal 🤔 So sad . Such a talent ☀️😘
I remember being at Cedar Point in Ohio walking back to the hotel. Heard the news on the TV when I got back in the hotel room. Thanks for the video. I always loved his music and still do.
I dont care what anyone says, Michael Jackson wasn't a pedophile, he was just a man, who never had a normal childhood, and wanted to do and act the way a child would of done, once he had the chance to, R.I.P MJ 💙🙏🌹🕊
Agreed!
@@cylersmiley5259 Why you say that?
I agree 100%. Michael was a very misunderstood person. He wanted to enjoy all the childhood activities that he missed out on. It breaks my heart for him.
Kids say otherwise. I had posters of him on my wall, but who invites kids over for a “sleepover” unless it’s with kid friends? If he wasn’t who he was no parent in their right mind would allow that.
@@absatwell8163 🤦🏻♂️
I cried when he passed 😥😥
I was in my living room watching TV when I heard Michael Jackson being air lifted to the hospital. It was devastating 💔💔💔I couldn't believe or even want to believe. I grew up listening to him and watching him on tv with hes great voice and great moves. What an great singer & entertainor he was. RIP Michael no matter what anybody says I know you're moonwalking on the moon❤️❤️❤️
i was at home still grieving my fathers passing as it only been about a month. But i just remember walking into our huge kitchen and my brother was watching TV and he said it. And i was like huh? I was shocked too, but funny thing i didnt know MUCH about him then I was 13 and ever since that day i became hooked on him for the next 4 years.
I remember exactly where I was. In my living room at the computer desk and heard it on the TV. I was devastated.
I wass at home back in Detroit , Michigan but he wass a Good singer!!🕊
I was at home putting dinner on the table ( I'm 3 hours ahead of California time), when the news report came through stating that Michael had died :'( I've been a big fan of Michael's since he was a part of the Jackson 5, I grew up in his era. It tore me up pretty badly when this happened and I will never forget this wonderfully talented and gentle man. RIP #MichaelJackson , you may be gone from this world but you will never be forgotten...FACT!!!!
June 25 2009 I will never get that day even till this day it still makes me sad miss you MJ hope your rest in peace
Not fan of Michael at all but can't hate on what he did in his career with his music . Big up Scott always doing amazing videos must of watched everyone by now love it💯💯
I can't believe it's been a long time since 2009 since Michael Jackson passed away so young at age 50!! I still miss him so much but I still listen to his music and watch both of his movies this is it and the live concert in Bucharest!! You'll always be in my heart Mr. Jackson I love you❤️❤️❤️ God bless you rest in peace!!!,😥💔🙏🏿🙏🏿 & boy it really shocked me when I was coming home from work I was so shocked I was soaking in tears when I heard about the news our favorite King of Pop Star passed away!!
I’ve binged so many of your videos since I found your page last Friday ! Such good content . Thank you!
I was in hospital in Australia fighting for my life and woke to it on the news. I know you’re a huge George Michael fan as well. It was also his birthday. I have just found your channel and love what you do
Thank you for the video for Michael Jackson. I Love him. He got me through my childhood and more. I was in a part of Harlem or Washington Heights in absolute shock when I got the news of his passing. My instinct was to go to the Apollo Theatre on 125th Street NYC, there were hundreds of us there. 🌹
I was at work and heard it on the radio. Totally shocked! Still hard to believe..😪 RIP King
I was working nights in a gym.never forget that,the king of pop will live on forever,love watching your videos Scott.keep it up
Great vlog as ever. I was staying at my sister's home in Ireland when I heard he died. Spookily enough, I was also in my sister's home when George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and Robin Williams all died. Bizarre that this always happens when I am on vacation there.
its so so sad as i truely loved him and his music I was in my garden when I heard he had died so I planted a rose to his memory which grows great every year
I’ll never forget where I was or what I was doing , I was at a local bar playing pool waiting for the trivia games to start and I was so distraught I couldn’t even play trivia ,,, I cried for weeks … I still cry ,, I cry more for him than certain family members ,, that’s crazy
I was at work . I was a Commercial bank teller for Wells Fargo.
Keep going bro., you’ve really inspired me to keep going with my gaming channel.,!
Im 29 i was in 12th grade summer school when i heard the news.... I still had hair then 🤣 great vid scott
RIP Michael Jackson
Great video. I was visiting my mothers birthplace in Estonia when he died. It was all over the news there too.
