Perhaps people spend too much time criticizing and speculating about Michael Jackson's odd habits and not enough time taking note of the great things he did for the world. For example, did you know MJ was a world record holder for his charitable work? No joke, the man held a title in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the pop star to "Most Support Charities."

mj

In his lifetime, Michael contributed more than $300 million to various organizations, and spent a great deal of time spreading the word about positive change through songs like Man in the Mirror and Black or White.

Here is a MASSIVE list of all philanthropic work and awards done by the King of Pop - beginning 25 years ago. Wow.

He may have had some quirky behavior, but one thing is for sure... the man had a HUGE heart. Watch this video, featuring his song Heal the World, to see many of the ways he tried to make the world a better place, especially for children.

Simply heartbreaking! R.I.P., MJ.

Yeah a lot of people don't know this side of him. For the other side however, I blame his father. Self-centered ass. Just my opinion though.

uqh, i hate the fact that everyone says he molests kids. what the heck? they pick out all his flaws, but yet w. Michael's help, how many people have been influenced to do the riqht thinq? i'd say ALOT. he's chanqed the world in so many different ways. he's done such qreat thinqs, and people take advantaqe of that. people don't make fun of the celebrities out there who do nothinq for the communtity, like Soulja Boy, Paris Hilton, or all those other people, but they make fun of him? that's unjust and unfair.

It's sad that Michael is getting recognized for all the good that he did in death. He deserved more from us while he was here.
In truth though, the press rarely ever highlights the good deeds that those that we consider celebrities do. We tear them apart. Criticize them for wearing the wrong thing, gaining weight, choosing the wrong role etc and blow even the smallest of mistakes way out of proportion. But we rarely hear about something good that is done. That is something I think we need to work on changing

Many people see Michael Jackson as a criminal or a pedophile, but those people focus too much on that side of him, and don't focus on his uberly successful musical career and the other great things he has done. I didn't realize that he has helped so many charities. That truly is a selfless person.

To be completely fair, I don't think going to trial for child abuse should be described as just "odd habits"..

But in a way you are right, he did do some brilliant things for charities and people in need. If anything, he inspired many and will be missed.

i dont even look at the "bad" things that he has done in the past...he helps kids with sickness find the innerkid again, he was a big kid all of his life.he had to grow up so fast in the wrong way, so everything that he has done for children and other people i am truely appreciate everything that he has done, he was a man that changed the world. he will be talked about until the end of time as the king of pop and at the end of the day you have to realise what a great man he was.

I can't say I'm his biggest fan, but I can say I have been listening to his music for over 5 years now, I was right there supporting him through the trials, even when people may have thought me crazy. The fact that the media were so eager to bring him down because of him 'molesting' children was horrible. Now, notice how that media and everyone who once blamed him and ridiculed him are now avid fans. Now that's just sick. People should stop being such big hypocrites.

Apart from that, I never doubted MJ being a beautiful soul, tortured by his past, mainly his father. But, he managed to grow up and become a great man. Too bad many couldn't see it earlier. They had to wait for him to die and become a media attention again to understand and notice his great values and deeds.
I'm still in denial, though. It was too fast. Allow me to cry some more for many amazing people are dying, too fast.
Where is the LEAVE BRITNEY alone guy when you need him? Why doesn't he make a leave MJ alone, now really. He's dead. And he'll never RIP unless people let him. I say, leave him alone. He got a handful while still alive, are people going to go through it even after hes passed away? Oh, Please.

& alot of ppl can call him wierd or whatever but like rev al sharpten said there was nothing wierd about him it was just wierd what he went through & in my opinion if he was wierd or a little crazy it may have some effect on the fact that he had no real childhood & at least he didn't turn that into a bad thing & rape kids...instead he gave back to the kids that needed it the most & as you can see it seemed like in a way he was trying to give them a better childhood because he didn't have one!
r.i.p. mj i know you went heaven!
