First, please go to MJ.com here (special page) to share your tribute first. Regardless of what you think of Sony, they are an official mouthpiece, I mean website, for MJ. The more we show how many MJ fans are out there, without spending a penny, the better our chances are showing them how strong our voices can be. Don't be silent. We need to show the world MJ's fanbase is the mightiest of them all! For Michael, with L.O.V.E.
Also, don't forget BET Awards is tonight! Check local listings and be sure to vote for MJ's TII here
Awards to be presented: Prince will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and John Legend the Humanitarian Award. Among others, Usher will be performing.
