The legacy of Michael Jackson will always live on and its very sad that it took him to die for people to appreciatte his music 100x more.

It's nice to that MJ'S greatest legacy is his music. No matter what the press said about him through the years, one thing remained true: He's the greatest entertainer who ever lived. Even long after his passing, his estate still makes money. Not many artists can say that. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop. 🎉

I miss Michael. He is so misunderstood but I’m glad us fanboys/girls will never let him go

[DJDoubleCee]

Sad that during the last few years of his life, Michael often was the subject of ridicule but once he dies, he’s revered again 😕

When it came to Michael Jackson ESPECIALLY at the end, people didn't make it about him, they made it about what they could get off of him

[Iboga-miracle]

Michael was one of the greatest entertainer, a visionary man and a smart businessman. Despite all the controversy, that’s undeniable. Thanks for this great documentary

We miss you Michael Jackson the King Of Pop

"Michael" and "Xscape" are still highly underrated.

[janicebond]

Let this man RIP, he is worth every bit of the billions he is worth. The greatest entertainer that ever existed, no one comes close….not even Swift!

[OnlineWithChrizLee]

I recently saw MJ The Musical and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had when it comes to entertainment. Which definitely made me excited for the upcoming movie. So I’d say though the estate sometimes fumbles the bag with things like not releasing Dangerous 25, other times they strike gold.

В юности Майкла врачи подсадили на наркотические обезболивающие таблетки и ему тяжело было от них отказаться и в конце своей недолгой жизни он погиб от рук врача .Гениальный музыкант.Великий гуманист.Его никто не заменил.Фанаты до сих пор страдают от такой потери.❤

[meylinhernandez]

While I’m sad Michael went through so much financial trouble and ridicule towards the later years of his life, I’m so happy to know he makes so much today. It says a lot ✨
