Re: bearmonty – This is very true, these prisoners are not doing this voluntary
this is nothing to applaud
I am from Philippines ………..and for them to pay a big tribute for Michael Jackson is just literally a * Brilliant * idea . Whomever choreograph this group is really talented because it's a big group . They probably got the idea in China ………..when they did the opening of International all over the world .
Michael Jackson ………….he's probably dead now………but he had died a long time ago ………..when his own father took his own life by his own demented world .
Michael Jackson was brought to this world to mainly entertain the whole media .
He had nothing to own ………not even himself . In which nowadays is critically important to a human being .
I pray to god that he would rest in peace and may god be with him .
Michael Jackson ………….you are a truly magnificent person ………a rather different from us ………….but I'm sure you have your moments to be true to yourself . It's just that …no one had really tried to save you .
I love you !
xoxo
Wow amazing!!!
Awesome.
Anyone else notice how Perez no longer has any background advertising, and his other advertising is dropping considerably as well? His advertisers are finally starting to realized what a complete moron he is and how he spins shit, and they're all dropping him. You're about 5 seconds away from your 15 minutes being up Perez.
Re: Nostradamus – ANOTHER DUMB ASS!!!! FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THE PRISONERS ARE ENJOYING DOIN THEIR STUNTS. RESEARCH FIRST BEFORE POSTING YOUR STUPID COMMENTS.
MJ was a sad person, No one in this blog can deny this,
he never had a childhood, his dad was a bully and beat him into the career he had,
he was a depressed man, he never had a childhood, and as for the whole pedophile thing, jackson said he never really grew up, so rightly so he never realized how it would be taken for him to invite children into his home. Its true that the outcomes would possibly be he might've done something or he might not have, and as for the painkiller he took, i doubt we'll all know the pain of a fractured vertebrae. Perez may have insulted Jackson and withdrew his insults later on, but this was not due to badness, this was due to lack of research and understanding.
Twisted fucking shit.
That's too cute.
that was awesome, the song Ben always brings a tear to my eye.
i loved it!
That was about seven minutes too long….zzzzzzzzzzzzz
wow that's amazing. R.I.P
This is an old video made before MJ's death. I've seen it before.
woops! i was wrong. i commented before i finished the vid. /= Shutting up now
Re: 2nigirl – JUST YOU WATCH THE DOCUMENTARIES AND RESEARCH MORE BEFORE POSTING MORONIC SUGGESTIONS AND MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF.
omg. that's awesome. RIP micheal
Why would I want to watch a bunch of FLIPS ? They're a mean race of people — MEAN ! The women are awful.
Wow, there are still people here who can't let go of an earlier post of Perez. Can't you guys get some therapy or something? Pretty pathetic!
BTW, very beautiful tribute!
That was awesome , Perez!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm cryin now!!! That was very moving, a great performance.
IT'S SO AMAZING TO ME WHAT 1 MAN DID TO AFFECT EVERYONE WITH HIS UNTIMELY DEATH, TAKEN AWAY WAY TOO SOON. AND ITS REALLY AN HONOR FOR ME TO SAY THAT I GOT THE CHANCE TO GROW UP DANCING AND LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC… WITH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT REST IN PEACE. LOVE YA MJ….
ok. that brought a tear to my eye. no not the best choreography but what a sincere tribute. may michael fly with angels and find the peace and happiness that he searched so hard for.
"We are the world….We are the children…."
When I heard that song, I had goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes….
This is slightly creepy and touching at the same time. The men in the white and black gowns came out and i ALMOST cried, but then i realized that they were men in gowns and laughed instead. =) R.I.P. M.J.
best tribute so far
gonna be hard to top that
Re: ashamedofperez –
if you don't like perez then stop reading his blog. Jesus, you people …
Re: anniegirl – Michael Jackson was not a paedophile, he was proven innocent you retard, it's attitudes like yours that contributed to him becoming more reclusive than he already was. Learn to spell before you bother posting again, fuck yourself and try to show some respect for an utterly awesome talent who will be missed by billions.
Oh, by all means, yes, let's make celebrities out of these criminals. Maybe we can put Ted Kennedy in the front row. He can sing "Bridge Over Troubled Waters".
.
Awww
they have too much time on their hands! lmao
Re: danzigirl –
You are correct in that M ihcael was an incredible talent, however, we will never know the truth. There was a massive payoff to Jordy Chandler way back when. The last group of slobs who sued him a few years ago were certainly just out for his money. But again, we will never really knowl You certainly cannot be sure. Do you have a crystal ball?
tears to my eyes. RIP MJ.
Wow, what are they in prison for, being hungry? Still, under whatever circumstances, that was amazing and awesome to watch. Not to mention the fact that this site could actually make meaning that's worth something in stuff like this, unlike posting pics of "Cheers" hasbeens, thus contributing to a world where photogs stalk KA to the point that she's frightened to go out, all so they can grab a pic, sell it for $$$$, in order for the huddled masses to have something to sneer at, unlike these prisoners.
and I say, that even prisoners took time to make this possible. That's how Filipinos love MJ. I just don't know why others keep on mocking this video.
That was really great. It must be comforting somewhat for his family to see tributes like this
now why cant the american prisons be more like this? shit, this makes me want to go to prison there…. haha!
now why cant the american prisons be more like this? shit, this makes me want to go to prison there! XD
I love Michael Jackson
amazed they choreographed it so quickly! probably the most pathos-filled thing i've ever seen!
UGH MICHAEL WAS THE BEST I STILL CANT BELIEVE HES GONE THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER, HE WAS THE GREATEST! FOREVER HE WILL BE THE BEST
That totally brought tears to my eyes.
Re: Ritechappy –
It's called Ben.
Is it wrong that I just totally laughed my ass off?
really sweet…
Re: Jenne25 –
So that's why Amnesty International has named this prison as center of torture and slavery for three years running?because it's a fun place?
Moron.
I know this is forced AND IT SHOULD NOT BE FORCED!!! But it's very beautiful and made me sad again
Re: Spankydee DE BOTTOM – you scumpig…go fuck that blow up doll.
this actually made me tear up :\
FILIPINOS ARE AWESOME. GOD BLESS MICHAEL JACKSON'S SOUL & GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY. ALSO COOL VID.
ATTENTION: ALL PEREZ HILTON SUPPORTERS! *LET'S CLICK ON EVERY SINGLE AD EVERY CHANCE WE GET!* (stay on the website for 20 seconds or more). TEAM PEREZ!: ) We all know very well that Perez is not a bad person and he doesn't wish anyone ANY harm! Is he feisty? Yes. Can he be an asshole sometimes? Of course, his blog is famous BECAUSE OF IT! And that's what we LOVE about him! The man has HIS opinions and he isn't afraid to VOICE them, he practices his '1st amendment right' pretty well! : ) And we LOVE that! We all KNOW he didn't know Michael was going to die! He couldn't possibly know. He thought that Michael was pulling a stunt similar to one he pulled in the past. He never wished Michael Jackson, his family or his fans any harm because he had NO idea that Michael Jackson was going to pass away. Perez is not psychic! PEREZ KNOWS WHAT TO SAY AND WHEN TO SAY IT, he NEVER takes it OVERBOARD AT THE WRONG TIME and if he ever did, I'm SURE he never did it intentionally! As for calling "Will.iam" a F****T, he had a man in his face trying to belittle him in front of a crowd! I AM GAY! And I FORGIVE Perez Hilton for using the F word! We ALL make mistakes! PEREZ IS GAY! He loves the LGBT community! He fights for the LGBT community in his own unique way! I am sure Perez Hilton will not use the F word again, he used it in a moment of desperation. ATTENTION: ALL PEREZ HILTON SUPPORTERS! *LET'S CLICK ON EVERY SINGLE AD EVERY CHANCE WE GET!* TEAM PEREZ! Go Perez!
I am so pathetic, I am crying right now.
Did you see the inmate escape at about 5:10
so perfect

i have to admit, i found that deeply moving and it seriously brought a tear to my eye… in a different way to the first one lol
rip michael jackson
Re: Lady B. Good – No I dont have a crystal ball and I totally understand what you are saying, I personally think Jordy and his family were out for the money too, there's evidence that certainly points in that direction and it seems they got what they wanted in the end didn't they. RIP MJ ♥
Thats a great way to show their appreciation for his wonderful music brought a tear to my eye. i think its a shame that he wont always be remembered for his fantastic music because a lot of shit will come out now that he's gone and can't defend himself, as with mr carradine which was also a great shame. a very sad day which will be remembered forever, i for one wont forget the day in a hurry. RIP MJ you brougth the world great joy and will be incredibly missed
AWESUME
PRECIOUS!
im so touched…
Re: Blue_bandgeek26 – Re: ~Ijustdontcare~ – Sounds like you two need a fist in da ass!
I enjoyed it and if the prisoners are forced to dance to MJ music, not really a punishment is it!? Well I guess for some it would be, hehe!
Prison has some great choreographers! If I ever go to jail, i'm making sure it's this place.
Re: cherrysizzleneptune –
Hahaha!! I have wondering for the longest time who he reminds me of. You hit the nail on the head with that one! We shall call him Frankenberry!
omg that video reminded me of all the people that loved and admired him. rip michael jackson.
Two words: Snooze Fest.
Very nice Perez. I may be the King of the world, however Michael was indeed the KING OF POP.
I saw the vlag of my country OMG so huge
This, more than anything else in the exhaustive media coverage, makes me realize the terrible loss of Michael Jackson…
Amazing, really touching.
Wow… That was so Awesome!!!
aw wow
aw what a nice video
ok, this made me cry!!!!! Gosh, still really hard to believe!
OMG!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!
AFTER 6:50 I CRIED… AND STILL AM CRYING!
IT WAS SOOO INSYNC..WOW!
R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON.
if it wasn't for Michael Jackson, music today would be completly different.Rock,R&B,Hip-hip, pop everything has been and is a representation of Michael Jackson.
I now feel the pain our parents felt when Elvis died.
this is craziness. I will never forget when I first found out about Michael. My first inital thought was to come on Perezhilton.com ..
Amazing- Really made me realize what an impact Michael Jackson made on the world…and what we have lost!! …Also seeing these prisoners paying their respects to this often troubled pop icon me realize that we should also remember to forgive for the negative …and embrace the positive legacy of a lifetime of timeless music from this mega-talented artist
I loved the video. R.I.P Michael Jackson, Just look at how one man is making the whole world stop and look. I love you Michael Jackson and will miss you deeply!
Wow this made me cry! R.I.P. MJ, rock the heavens like you did earth!!!!! You are forever missed!
wow, that's amazing
RIP
totally cried :/
This was so moving….
A tear came to my eyes as they
started we are the world… my gosh.
R.I.P King
How productive
RIP Michael Jackson.
My family and I send our sympathy
they paid tribute like a year ago!!! i cant believe you just found this!
What a very touching tribute to Michael and his impact to the entire world!
Woow! I am speechless. This guys really like him. God bless Michael. Mexico Loves you!!
Thanks for bringing us your music , I am glad that I grew up with your music and with your magic. My heart goes to your family
dumbass dipshits this is not a tribute these prisoners are force to do these performances because if they dont they will be beat to death you really think the people in charge of this care about mj's death they just make them do it for shits and giggles
RIP Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop ! you will be missed greatly . Forever in our hearts.
One word…Beautiful!!!
oh my god that actually made me cry, the part at the end where they're waving all the flags of the world's countries to his charity song. even the prisoners will miss him. everyone's taking this in different ways but i'm glad that many people are being respectful and commemorating him.
RIP, you will never be forgotten Michael
that is the coolest thing i have ever seen! gosh they have rhythm
Wow, that is awesome.
