Michael is special as for me as for everyone. He not only wrote the plurality of superb songs, but made a difference into this world, He changed me, he changed millions of people, he showed what kindness should mean for each of us. During his life a lot of his fans made a lot for charity just because he showed to the world that we should take care of each other. We are one family, we are the world. He means a lot for me and saying these words I know that I'm not the one who thinks so. Michael is like a saint, he changed this world. And we, his fans, try hard to change it as well. He is for ever in our hearts. And that's why I ask to make his birthday a national holyday. His fans are everywhere around the world, in every city, in every corner, in every race in every nation. So let it be!

He deserve this. He was misunderstood in his entire life. Now, he's gone, and all we can do is to give him the respect he deserved... In fact, make it an International Holiday, so all the generations to come will know him and remember his message...heal the world...make it a better place...it's all for LOVE

With everything that Michael Jackson has done for the world, he deserves this. He's done more than just make people happy with his music. He has gone out of his way to help the homeless, the poor and people with no food. Donated to more charities than anyone has ever done. Started a charity for the children and the world. I've never ever known anyone that would care that much and do that much. I put Micheal Jackson right up there with Dr. Martin Luther King with everythind that they have done for this world and I'm sure others will agree too.

I've lived a very simular life that Michael Jackson has. One of the many things that I have learned from him is when things are bad, and life is hard and you think you can't go on to keep on fighting. If it wouln't have been for him I would be lost. I'm very grateful to have had him grace us with his music. This holiday should come into effect because everyone should remember what he has done with his music and for the world. This holiday will help others because Michael Jackson has always been about giving. Makin things better for everyone and goin out of his way to make people happy. It's all he ever wanted in life. I think people will stop and think about it and want to do the same as well. This will be an important holiday because everyone will stop and remember who he is and what he's done and want to do more to make a difference in this world. That's what we all have to do to make this a better place. Let's all heal the world!

What did Michael mean to you? Why should this holiday come to effect? How do you think this holiday will help others? How important do you this holiday will be?

Michael meant everything to me and he still does today. Michael's birthday should be a holiday because he is the greatest humanitarian, singer, and dancer/entertainer the world will ever see. Michael has done so much for all of us and he more than deserves this.

Michael Jackson's birthday should be a national holiday because his music spoke to everyboby.He meant a lot to me billins og people including me.He has so much more that we could have done in a one generationin our lives,and he did it in 45 yrs.That's why his birthday should he a national holiday.

This holiday would mean a lot for his family,children and fans because it would be a day for sit and think of how much the changed the world with his music and so much more.For me Michael meant more to me the just a pop singer he was family in a distant way and this would mean the world to me if this became true.

i'm sure some day my children will listen to his music and the words of his songs and learn about the purity in heart that is the most important in people and not the colour of the skin and the clothes or other meaningless things. i know that people who's lives Michael Jackson touched have become atleast a little better and those people have become more open hearted and more concearned about each other and the future of our children and how much heart will be left in the world when our generation leaves. will we leave this place a little better or worse or will we just not care. just a little consearn from everyone and we can make a change. a sencere smile to someone helps to grow a flover of goodness, atleast a little gesture. care more, do more, so u can make this place better for everyone to live. that's what this Man tought me and a lot of other people around the world. though there was a lot of dirt dumped on Him He never changed for bad. that's what i call Human. what is good, should never be forgotten. that's why i think MJ's birthday should become a national holiday. hope ot happines. God bless us all.

Michael meant so very much to so many men , women & children all around the globe. He cared about every one and everything in it and asked for nothing in return...the least we can do for him is celebrate him as our thank-you for a lifetime of mesmerizing entertainment . His involvement in helping those in need should be remembered on this day.... He was / is a hero to so many in this world.... we love you more Michael .....nellyb3 xoxo

I think the whole world need a national holiday what is about the peace, love, caring about each other, and we should always remember that special man who did his best to heal the world.

His music ment the world to me, i'm not able to describe this. This day should be a celebration of his life, and we should try to continue what he started; help everyone who need it.

i think it's the minimum that his bday would be a national holiday. he was such a good and caritative person. if obama can get a peace-nobel price, MJ deserves at least a national holiday...

he made me a better person during his texts of his songs and his books (moonwalker, dancing the dream). a national holiday would help to make people remember of him also years later, who couldnt see him in life. it would be a great thing in order to never forget him, if somebody wasnt his fan. moreover, he showed the way how people should behave, and protect the poors, and save this world...

Michael Jackson was a true humanitarian, had a giving loving heart, beautiful person, and an amazing artist like no other. He cared about everyone, tried to make this world a better place for everyone, donated millions of dollars to various childrens cherities including his own Heal the World. He cared about animals, people, about our planet, about everything, he was simply the best person, dedicated father to his beautiful 3 children, a son, brother and our King Of Pop, who has millions of fans like myself around the world who love him very much.

I loved Michael since I was a little girl. I would love to have a holiday to celebrate Michael Jackson, the pure, giving, loving, man that he was, he gave us so much, incredible music, his incredible talent, and how wonderful man Michael was, he was a walking Angel on this earth. Children of the future will be able to learn who he was and how much Michael loved children and gave them everything he could, food, toys etc., I do hope we are going to have a national holiday to celebrate Michael Jackson which would be on his birthday, he deservs it..Love you Michael forever.xxxx

I dont want michael to be forgotten like past celebrities. He should be remembered with a holiday, and this is a great way to start! :)

I love Michael Jackson. More than you could possibly imagine. He was kind, gentle, talented, and handsome. He was absolutley the man of my dreams. To see him go so fast from my grip, so soon, is devastating. I wish it was all a dream, and I would wake up to find that it was all in my head. I love a lot of things about Michael. He's a great performer, singer, dancer, songwriter, and father. But what I love the most is that he has a strong connection with the so called "real world". He's not an airhead celebrity. He really, truly loves his fans, and people in general. He took nothing for granted in his life. He visited kids in the hospital, and made peoples lives better. A person like him is rare. There will be more people like Fergie ,and Beyonce, but there will NEVER, EVER be another Michael Jackson. He's one of a kind. R.I.P King of Pop. This Holiday will bring a sense of remeberance to my love, my best friend, Michael Jackson.
