Paula AbdulPaula Abdul and Beyonce Knowles have reacted to the death of international pop superstar Michael Jackson.

“Words cannot begin to express my heartfelt sorrow upon hearing the new of Michael Jackson’s passing,” American Idol judge Abdul told Entertainment Tonight. “I was blessed to be able to work with, and witness first hand, his tremendous talent and growth through the years as he truly became an icon. Today we have all lost a legend who has touched each of our lives through his music and showmanship over the past five decades.”

“This is such a tragic loss and a terrible day,” Beyonce said. “The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music.

“He was magic. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the king of pop!

“Life is not about how many breaths you take, but about how many moments in life that take your breath away. For anyone who has ever seen, felt, or heard his art, we are all honored to have been alive in this generation to experience the magic of Michael Jackson. I love you Michael.”

Jackson, 50, died Thursday after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his rented home in Los Angeles.

    The Poem
    *******

    Let me send you my Angel, Michael Jackson

    God…I understand now….Michael was only on loan to us.

    He was your special Angel that you blessed with talent and grace,
    To preach your word that’s pure and true to the entire human race.
    You blessed him with the gift of Love, sent Songs to him from Up Above
    But I’m still hurting though I know; he was only on loan and had to go
    The voice of an Angel with every chord, its not a coincidence oh Lord
    That he lived in Jackson Street. Even then you knew his fate, but you kept him
    Till he’d fulfilled your task. And now he has you take him back
    But its OK, I understand, he was only on loan to us.
    Eternity with you sweet Lord, is an eternity of smiles Oh Lord.
    So we are all on loan till you decide that our work for you on earth is done
    But Your gift to him is a Legacy, you didn’t make two You didn’t make three, You make Michael Jackson just as one!

    *****
    Never before has there been such an inspirational icon to surface the music industry and never again will there be.

    Michael, you touched so many lives with your music, your passion and with your love for all things good.

    You broke the barriers of race in times when tolerance was low and your music crossed all ages, genders and religions.

    You are more than a legend; you are the childhood for millions of people all around the globe.

    The greatest superstar in history. The entertainment industry will never be the same without you and we are blessed and thankful to have shared you in this era.

    You can never be forgotten and your music and your name will live on for ever.

    Michael Jackson: Genius, Entertainer, Gifted: We will miss you immensely.
