"In her lifetime, she's only known Jackson as someone who admitted to sharing his bed with unrelated minors; as someone who actor Corey Feldman said, in 2005, used to show him naked photos of men when Feldman was young; as someone that dangled a baby over a balcony."
I'm a year younger than Miley, and MJ has had a massive impact on my musical tastes growing up and my interests today. This isn't about age, this is about a personal hatred for a teenager such as myself expressing her true opinion. What, you want it in writing that he really was her hero? A sick twist on the loss of such an amazing artist. Stop judging the mourning and be glad that MJ HAS had an effect on such young people.
Long live the King of Pop.

no i don't agree with this at all. Two of my favourite bands ever are Queen and the Beetles. I was born in 1989. You don't have to be around in the heyday to really enjoy the music. I also love MJ's music. So what if i was only 6 when his last song came out. Thats the beauty of music. It lives on so everyone can enjoy it, whether it was created when you were alive or whatever shouldn't matter. Just saying.

Personlly I do not like Michael Jackson.
In my eyes he was a freak.
Although he had good music, and i do enjoy his music.
Im Miley's age, and i think this is bull what you are saying, just because shes 16 she cant call Michael Jackson her hero?
So what she has to have a hero her age?
Michael Jackson is if not the biggest, but one of the biggest selling artists ever, to have a hero your hero must of done something good like that.
Whos her hero suppose to be, Nick Jonas?
Heroes ARE people older, and alot from the time period people were born.
Michael was also an insperation to Miley's 'fly on the wall' music video, she says so herself.
Michael has also inspired so many artists
Chris Brown isnt that far from Miley's age, and Chris Brown is inspired by Michael and calls him his hero also,
So isnt Chris Brown allowed to call him that?
And all the people who write poems,films ect, that are inspired by William Shakespehere and call him their hero, arnt they allowed either?
Or all the artists who are inspired by Van Gough?
So they arnt allowed to call him their hero?
Seriously, you need to know the facts before you write such a cruel article.
Miley is mature enough not to follow other people, or to thrive for attention, she has enoguh has it is.
Your WRONG, and should really BACK DOWN.

hello many people were not born in Michael's era like Madonna, Diana Ross yet they still are sad about the passing of a legend! i was born in1991 and I am deeply saddened by the loss of Michael Jackson. I loved his music and im sure many other teenagers in 2009 still do. It dosn't matter what year or what age they were born in, Michael did mean something to everyone.
So you shouldnt criticize young actors/actresses view on the passing of a legend. Even though you cant tell with miley cyrus it still might be heartfelt. Stop making such unrealistic comments towards this. You obviously have NO idea what you are talking about.

Micheal Jackson was one of my favorite musicians of all time and Miley is only 3 years younger then me....you make it seem like you can not like a artist unless you lived during the time period in which they were big in....I was jamming like crazy to his music when he died as well and I still am. Twitter is all about posting what you are doing I don't see how its all about miley if its on her twitter page....if she made some like public statement like Usher then that might raise some questions about her true intentions.......but it was her twitter page...she could be saying she is eating food on twitter but it doesn't mean its all about miley at all....so when she posts something like I'm listening to micheal jackson then shes just letting you know what shes doing. she doesnt intend it ever to be blown out of proportion like the hollywoodgossip.com always seems to do!

So what if he cares? What the heck does it matter? But please don't say you can't grieve for someone just because she's young. I'm 15 and I BAWLED MY EYES OUT. My parents were big Michael fans and basically I grew up on his music. He was like a second dad to me in terms of a role model. And mileys parents are very chill so maybe they played some of his music too. I mean come on, WHO DIDNT?? so get off her back. When I mourn or Michael no one really gives a damn but if I were in Mileys position I would flaunt it flaunt it flaunt it. Rest in peace Michael. You will never be forgotten. Also, do we really live in a society where now we critic peoples way of grieving someone death? If so, I'm afraid what kind of world I'm going to live in when I'm an adult.

Sorry but are you completly stupid and insensetive!! So what if she wasn't born the same year he was and was around for his debut with the Jackson 5! Neither was I and he is MY Hero aswell as Elvis, The Beatles and Abba I'm only 2 months older than Miley are you gunna say I'm an attention seeker? I was devastated when he died and I cried as many other fans did. Tbh I think your a joke all your articles on miley or other members of her family or her closest friends are nothing but digs and distgustingly hateful comments get over your self and stop hating on things that you don't know the truth about. Jeeeze.

I was born in 1989 & grew up listening to Michael.
My very first concert was the HIStory tour back in 1997.
Yes, I grew up in the 90's, but Michael's music NEVER dates, so who cares if Miley wasn't even around when Bad came out, do you know what, I don't even think I was?
And the same with Smooth Criminal, but does that stop the fact that, that song and video are my favourite of all time?
I'm not a fan of Miley, but that was completely harsh and uncalled for. Not to mention ageist.

I'm only 23 and I still grieved for Michael Jackson. Death is sad. I was never a huge fan, but I still found myself very upset. I watched his funeral in its entirety on nbc. Just because she is only 16, doesn't mean she is faking being upset. When someone dies, even if it's a celebrity, it has you thinking how short life is and that someone you love could go at any moment. So how about you leave Miley alone. Someone needs to beat up the editor who lets his/her staff write about this stuff. Damn.

So if your gunna write articles about stupid stuff and make rumors about people well no one will really like anything about you!! So plz just shutup about this! I'll bet Miley isn't even happy about this! If you don't like Miley you still don't have to make stupid rumors about her.What if someone did that to you what would you say about them???????
