Well let me just tell you, My first impression of Michael Jackson wouldnt be what you expect from a “die hard fan” so ill tell my story and I look foward to hearing yours!
let me start out by saying, Im only 15. So I wasnt around during the “thriller” era…as much as I WISH I was. I dont remember the exact year but I want to say maybe in 2005 I saw Michael on TV, they were talking about his child molestation trial. That was the first time I ever heard of him. “Who is Michael Jackson” I asked my mom, “he used to be a famous singer, now hes just a creepy man who invites little boys to sleep over his house, and he gives there familys little gifts in return. Hes arrested for molesting little boys, that means touching them inapropretly” I was only 11and I had never even heard of him so natrualy, that was my first impression of him, a creepy man who likes touching boys.
They showed a video of him emptying his pockets before walking into the court room, if I remember correctly he was emptying gummy bears, and little toy race cars and he seemed so out of it. I have looked all over the internet for this video clip but I cannot find it ANYWARE. I had been watching it with my sister, and we both thought “hes creepy” becuse thats what our mom told us, and being little kids we belived it. we had no reason to belive otherwise.
so my sister used to try and scare me all the time by putting michaels picture in random places ware I would find them. It was always this picture : http://www.hitsville.org/wp/wp…..erland.jpg .
it scared me sometimes. But as the years went on, every time someone mentioned Michael Jackson I automaticly smiled unconrolably and I had no clue why. My sister would always ask me “why are you smiling?!” and I didnt know why just the thought of Michael Jackson made me smile. so my sister would always make fun of me for it.
Then about 4 years later, were in 2009 in May we played a motown peace in my school band, and it had a tiny part of “Ill be there” in it, by the Jackson 5. I remember a few years back I heard a christmas song on the radio sung by the Jackson 5, and thats the first I ever heard of them. The first time I ever knew Michael jackson sung as a little boy. So then back to 2009… I heard on TV a commershal “Ill Be There” I dont remember for what the comershal was for though. I recegnized it because of what I played in band. and I thought “maybe I should look up Michael Jacksons music, and music from Jackson 5″
So I did. I LOVED it, and the VERY NEXT DAY , I found out Michael had passed away. June 25th is my dads birthday, so I wasnt watching TV or on the computer all day (by my dads request) and we had went to the pool, then came home got dressed and went out to eat. Around 6ish or so my brother called and told me the news. IT HURT. I then told my mom and she said “NO, he didnt die” and I told her my brother said he did. so we turned on the TV and found out he infact did. My mom then turned off the tv and walked away but I RAN upstairs and watched it in my room. I heard them say “it has not yet been confirmed” so I got soo much hope built up in me, and I started praying like theres no tomrrow…but then about a half hour later they said “It has been confired, Michael jackson has passed away”
You have to remember that Im only 15 and I didnt have the same exposure to Michael that most of you did. But after that I became OBSESSED with him I read every bio I could find, watched every video, watched the news every nite. And I feel like I did have a connection with him because he made me smile long before I even knew how great he was. I regret and feel terrible for ever thingking anything bad of him. I wish I had been born 25 years ago so I could have been around when he came out with thriller. Theres just always been a part of me that loved Michael Jackson long before I even knew it.

OMG what a sweet post! It's great that you made your own mind up about Michael during/after the trial and didn't let others influence you. You sound so muich more mature than 15 I have to say!
Well I'm 23 and when I was 10 I saw the “Thriller” video for the first time. It scared the crap out of me I have to say! I remember having nightmares about it for weeks after, but there began my obsession with Michael. I used to watch his videos on TV all the time and when I got my first ever job as a paper girl, I went out bought the Thriller album!
I cried when I found about the molestation charges because I knew Michael would never do that. It hurt me so much to think that someone he had trusted so much turned on him the way they did. I remember seeing videos on the news of Michael during the trial and he looked so lost and frail. I just wanted to hug him and make it all go away. I will always remember where I was when I found out that Michael had been found not guilty. I was in my living room watching the news and it was live from the court room when the jury were reading the verdict out. I screamed the house down and cried and woke everyone up, but I didn't care – I was happy!
When I found out Michael had “died” I was numb and didn't know what to think. I was so so sad but I didn't actually cry until I watched the memorial. The next day I found this site and started to question what had been said, gone on etc and that's how I ended up where I am today!
Some people may say that I'm here because I don't want to let Michael go and maybe that's true. I can't ever imagine him been gone and while there are still so many unanswered questions and this site, I will always have hope.

Michael has/had something very strong. Just an example, my son (he's almost 15) just like games and about music, he like some people but everytime I tried to had his interest about things from the 80's or early 90's (movies or songs ect…) his answer ..always : “it's old, so it's not good” LOL ..well, anyway.
About Michael..strangely, it was different. I mean after june 25 he began to ask me questions about Michael  And guess what …? He watched MANY interviews and many videos and listen songs of Michael with me, since that day ..let me tell you it was very strange lol, because it was the very 1st time I saw my son have some interest about other things than his games, naruto or whatever you know 
I think Michael, wherever he is… has a VERY strong spirit

This is a great thread!
I remember my sister being totally in love with Michael.
She would sit and listen to his music all day, while studying while cleaning etc..
his posters were hidden away under her bed and closet away from mum and dad (LOL..they didn;t approve of the crotch grabbing and hip thrusts he he he)
Me and my brothers would tease her about MJ all the time..
I started to also listen to his music only because my sister and I shared a room..but never really understood the meanings…just thought he was cute…I was only about 8 years old.
As time went by, I started to understand the meanings in his lyrics and they affected me…
I have always loved MJ- but it has been in the last few years that I have truly appreaciated who he was as a person and also apprecaite his good looks…
I never ever ever believed what the media was feeding to the world about MJ
I would sit and cry watching him walk into the court room….thinking “it's not fair..”.. I laughed and rejoiced when he was cleared.
My family and friends think I am crazy to believe that he may be alive but my heart has never lied to me- maybe I am in denial..time will tell all.
Ps- My husband is getting a little jelous of Mj now.. he he he

Hi “Hope Is All We Have”
I’m so sorry you didn’t get to know MJ from the beginning. I’m sorry you only had to rely on what your mom had to say about MJ, and I’m sorry your
Mom had to rely only on what the press had to say about MJ. Did your mom
read about Jordan Chandler false claims of child molestation regarding MJ?
if you can, as a fan, can you make sure she knows this? And read the article
below.
http://dyfuse.com/?q=node/6418
I got to meet some of the Jacksons long ago. They are very nice and down to
earth people.

You can be as good as gold

I was about 5, I think, when the Thriller video came out. I remember my whole family sitting in front of the TV to watch that video. And my crazy 5 year old self thought Michael was so cute! Who knew that 5 year olds can have crushes??? But at the same time I was scared as heck from that video and hated going to sleep at night lol! I thought that one day when I grew up I would marry him  Anyway, that was my first impression of him, and I've loved him ever since!

I remember when i 5 years old seeing Michaels music on TV and listening to his songs i LOVED him hehe. And then we learned the Thriller dance in my dancing school i was so excited to learn that .. i did the dance EVERY chance i got! Then i remember when he married Lisa Marie and i told my mom that when i grew up i was going to make Michael fall in love with me and we were going to get married and he response to that was “you can't marry a child molester” i was stunned! I replied with that isn't true and ran to my room and i believed that he didn't do anything and i still do to this day even after the second charges i knew in my heart he wasn't guilty of such nonsense not MY Michael i said to myself .. he's to good for that. After my mom made her comment about Michael i never told anyone i liked him because i didn't want to argue with anyone over my beliefes but as i got older i couldn't hold it in anymore and i didn't care who i told and what they thought because in my mine i KNEW the truth and thats that! I now argue with people to this day about Michael. i wish people would just leave him the hell alone! I get very heated when people talk bad about him .. if you have nothing good to say about someone DON'T SAY NOTHING AT ALL damnit! sorry here i go getting mad because i'm thinking about it so i'm gonna leave it at that lol
P.S. Michael was the sexiest mother effer i have even laid eyes on .. i mean since i got those “icky” feelings for boys .. even at 50 he's still gorgeous!! I<3U Michael! MMm MmM mMM .. okay i'm happy again lol

i remeber i was 6 years old girl when my dad brought a video home which he got from his best friend..i didnt live in europe that time so it took a while till we got to see american music in general..
however he put it in and …wow i was like hypnotized- i still remeber that feeling. Thinking about this is so funny to me- my parents (who of course new Michael) were concerned seeing that little girl can fall in love watching “Bad” video. Thats why i actually call myself a bad generation. That was the moment i kinda got obsessed- during the evening i told my friend that i am so deeply in love with that singer- and she told everyone in our yard so they were laughing at me and calling me “MJ future wife”….
Fortunately it never bothered me what people think about me- i was glad hearing this

Two of my earliest memories in life are:
The Say Say Say video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..gWvBXS2t4A
The Pepsi commercial starring Alfonso Ribero (he was sooo cute and mature to me lol)as mini-Mike
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..d15YVb2M6M
Can't stop listening to the mp3 of that–^ http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K….. (billie jean pepsi mp3)
My 1st and strongest impression was the worldwide superstar, can do no wrong, Midas touch, most famous & talented person on Earth Mike.

I was born in 1979, so my first conscious memories of music period was of the Michael Jackson Thriller era. That is literally the first music I remember being aware of at all. Michael Jackson WAS music. He was always a major topic of conversation at school. Every kid my age went around wearing one glove (or mitten!0 to be MJ. I played with the original MJ dolls—loved the yellow “Human Nature” outfit! “Bad” came out when I was about 8 and I loved that video (and Weird Al's “Fat”—one of the best parodies ever!) “Dangerous” came out in junior high and it was a huge event the night that “Black or White” premiered on TV. “In the Closet” was the first thing I saw that gave me that “warm and tingly” kind of feeling…you know what I'm talking about! In high school, I loved “Scream” and tried to practice doing Michael and Janet's dance routine. Michael Jackson is the soundtrack to my childhood.
Also, in one of the most random experiences of my life…I was in England with my husband on a business trip. There was a crowd forming around one of the hotels, so we asked what was going on. They told us Michael Jackson was staying at that hotel and would be arriving soon. Within minutes, his limo pulled up with bodyguards running alongside of it. He got out and there he was. The man himself. Such a surreal experience. I think I was about 10 feet away from him. He smiled and waved and went in the hotel, along with David Blaine. Like I said, a completely random experience, but an amazing one.

I have looked all over the internet for this video clip but I cannot find it ANYWARE. I had been watching it with my sister, and we both thought “hes creepy” becuse thats what our mom told us, and being little kids we belived it. we had no reason to belive otherwise.
so my sister used to try and scare me all the time by putting michaels picture in random places ware I would find them. It was always this picture : http://www.hitsville.org/wp/wp…..erland.jpg .
it scared me sometimes. But as the years went on, every time someone mentioned Michael Jackson I automaticly smiled unconrolably and I had no clue why. My sister would always ask me “why are you smiling?!” and I didnt know why just the thought of Michael Jackson made me smile. so my sister would always make fun of me for it.
Then about 4 years later, were in 2009 in May we played a motown peace in my school band, and it had a tiny part of “Ill be there” in it, by the Jackson 5. I remember a few years back I heard a christmas song on the radio sung by the Jackson 5, and thats the first I ever heard of them. The first time I ever knew Michael jackson sung as a little boy. So then back to 2009… I heard on TV a commershal “Ill Be There” I dont remember for what the comershal was for though. I recegnized it because of what I played in band. and I thought “maybe I should look up Michael Jacksons music, and music from Jackson 5″
So I did. I LOVED it, and the VERY NEXT DAY , I found out Michael had passed away. June 25th is my dads birthday, so I wasnt watching TV or on the computer all day (by my dads request) and we had went to the pool, then came home got dressed and went out to eat. Around 6ish or so my brother called and told me the news. IT HURT. I then told my mom and she said “NO, he didnt die” and I told her my brother said he did. so we turned on the TV and found out he infact did. My mom then turned off the tv and walked away but I RAN upstairs and watched it in my room. I heard them say “it has not yet been confirmed” so I got soo much hope built up in me, and I started praying like theres no tomrrow…but then about a half hour later they said “It has been confired, Michael jackson has passed away”
You have to remember that Im only 15 and I didnt have the same exposure to Michael that most of you did. But after that I became OBSESSED with him I read every bio I could find, watched every video, watched the news every nite. And I feel like I did have a connection with him because he made me smile long before I even knew how great he was. I regret and feel terrible for ever thingking anything bad of him. I wish I had been born 25 years ago so I could have been around when he came out with thriller. Theres just always been a part of me that loved Michael Jackson long before I even knew it.
I AM TELLING YOU. YOU ARE EXACTLY LIKE ME. BUT I AM YOUNGER THAN YOU. I THOUGHT BAD THINGS OF HIM BEFORE BECAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS THE TRUTH. AND PEOPLE TOLD ME THINGS. AFTER HE DIED I LEARNED MORE AOBUT HIM. I LOVE HM. HE IS THE KINDEST HEART IVE KNOWN. AND TALENTED. I WISH I WAS BORN BACK THEN TOO!!!! I ALWAYS LIKED HIM. BUT NOW IM JUST OBSESSED!!!!! I HAVE SOOOOOOOO MUCH TO RELATE TO YOU. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!!!! <3MJ<3 RIP….
~~~Michael, you ARE beautiful. On the inside. And the out. ;D~~~

I was born in 1979, so my first conscious memories of music period was of the Michael Jackson Thriller era. That is literally the first music I remember being aware of at all. Michael Jackson WAS music. He was always a major topic of conversation at school. Every kid my age went around wearing one glove (or mitten!0 to be MJ. I played with the original MJ dolls—loved the yellow “Human Nature” outfit! “Bad” came out when I was about 8 and I loved that video (and Weird Al's “Fat”—one of the best parodies ever!) “Dangerous” came out in junior high and it was a huge event the night that “Black or White” premiered on TV. “In the Closet” was the first thing I saw that gave me that “warm and tingly” kind of feeling…you know what I'm talking about! In high school, I loved “Scream” and tried to practice doing Michael and Janet's dance routine. Michael Jackson is the soundtrack to my childhood.
Also, in one of the most random experiences of my life…I was in England with my husband on a business trip. There was a crowd forming around one of the hotels, so we asked what was going on. They told us Michael Jackson was staying at that hotel and would be arriving soon. Within minutes, his limo pulled up with bodyguards running alongside of it. He got out and there he was. The man himself. Such a surreal experience. I think I was about 10 feet away from him. He smiled and waved and went in the hotel, along with David Blaine. Like I said, a completely random experience, but an amazing one.
You are so lucky. I cant picture ever seeing him in person, but Ill tell you, It would be my dieing wish. Iv read everyones stories and I love them all! There so much fun to read

haha i'm 15 too and i remember the first video i saw of him was sream with janet i liked the video but i didn't really know much about him. lol and i used to think he was a girl in that video lol i'm embarrassed to admit that but i saw the video a few years after it came out. then the next video i saw of him was you rock my world and i loved the song but i still didn't really know who michael jackson was but i was kinda drawn to him and his music. i remember my older sister telling me he was the guy that did the thriller video and the moonwalk and of course i knew the moonwalk so i was fascinated by him. my sister showed me the video and i loved it. it didn't creep me out though. but i've always been into the weird things. haha zombies were like unicorns xD anyway i asked my dad if he used to listen to michael jackson when he was younger and he said 'yeah before he became weird.' and i found out about the molestation trial by my mom. she never really said if she thought he did it but like people talked about it at school and made fum of him. and said things like michael's gunna touch you while you're sleeping or something. i never really believed he molested children and i didn't even know that much about him. i kept my mouth shut though. i don't remember really listening to his music so much. but i remember june 25th my sister said that michael jackson was in the hospital and in a coma and i was like i hope he's okay cause he's supposed to go touring and when e!news told us 'michael jackson has died' i was shocked and numb. and i couldn't believe it. it didn't feel right so i looked it up and it said it on the computer and on the other news channels. but it just felt odd. and i was on tmz and someone said something about this site and i looked at it. it showed all the flaws in what they were reporting. and i got hope he was alive. ever since the 25th i've become obsessed listening to all of his albums. i've also kinda developed a crush on him haha. my sisters getkinda annoyed the way i watch everything on him and talk about him all the time. hehe

Let's see, my connection with Michael Jackson. Well… I fell in love with his Billy Jean video when I was younger but I thought even then MJ was a hottie, to put it bluntly but nobody I knew was into MJ and they made fun of anyone who was, why? I don't know but for years I kept my passion for MJ a secret from everybody. Almost like I was ashamed that I was a fan. Please, keep in mind that I was young. It was stupid, I know, I even had dreams about him but told nobody. It's not easy when you have no one you can confide in when it came to telling the truth. The first thing I fell in love with were his dance moves. When watching Billy Jean, I would watch the way his legs moved and thought, wow, I wish I could dance like that, then I noticed his gorgeous face. He's cute, he can dance and he has a fantastic singing voice but I couldn't tell my friends about him because, well, no one I knew liked him. I have never been to a concert of his but I wish I had. Anyway, that is my connection with Michael Jackson.

I forgot to add that when it came to the molestation charges against MJ, I chose to form no opinion about it. I just simply didn't talk about it. Maybe my not forming an opinion was my way of not accepting the allegations against him. I think that in choosing to form no opinion, deep down inside, I didn't believe the press. It just sounded all wrong.

. That night when the concert started they did a simulcast on the radio of the beginning of the show, I sat there listening trying to imagine what it was like to be there. Then after the first few sounds of his voice they cut out and I started to cry I was so bummed. But I was only 11 what could I do 
But my sister even mentioned this to my brother after recent events and was kind of ragging on me about it, but hey I'm his fan I don't care what they think
