I see that both Taj and Omer commented on the video on youtube.


I saw the comments on youtube

TajJackson
il y a 1 jour 6 This video sums up my uncle perfectly. There will never be another one like him. He will truly be missed. Thank you for creating this video. I absolutely love it


please help me and tell me if we can say "He will truly be missed" ?
In french we can't,it means he is not gone yet and the day he will die,he will be missed.

Is it strange in English??

Technically, you're right.  In English, saying "he will" refers to something in the future (just like Taj saying, "There will never be another one like him.")  But this is also a common phrase that people say when talking about someone who's died.  I think it's just become a cultural norm.  Maybe they should say, "He will truly be missed forever" but they drop the forever part because it's implied.

To get to the heart of your question, though...I think grammatically speaking, Taj is referring to the future.  However, conversationally his statement is open to interpretation.

I hope that helps.  If anyone sees it differently, please feel free to correct me.


Thank you,you're kind to have answered to my question ;)
I understand what you mean

Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I'm french too and yes it sounds weird to me too, cause in french when we use the "future" it means that the action isn't started yet. And we all know Michael is dead for more than a year, so he surely is ALREADY missed...

Below is an interesting tweet from Taj.  He is on twitter tonight upset about that LA Article I posted on another topic regarding that SNAP organization for abused kids.  Check out his tweets.

It's time to set the record straight that MJ was/is and always has been innocent.

Yeah I found it interesting that he used was/is innocent.  I was like how come he didn't just say was innocent.  When you use the word is that's referring to the present tense.  I haven't seen the article yet but it must be pretty nasty because Taj seem really upset.  I don't blame him though.

Now I do not want to be the bad girl here, but this can be seen in 2 ways.

First the non-believers: they probably take this as: Yes, he was and still is innocent (because to them he or his music lives forever so therefor the was/is)

Second the believers: They believe Michael is still alive, so for them he STILL is innocent. (is in present tense because he's still alive)

So either way you look at it, Michael lives ;)

also "has been" is a present tense (present tense perfect). If he wanted to talk on the past he would have said "always had been". In a correct english "has been" is used when we express an action very close to the present, in a period that has not ended yet (like in the past tense), that still continues in the present.

I believe he use the was/is innocent. Is meaning still innocent nothing to do with a hoax. You guy sometimes should read between the lines and learn to metitate on what is being said and how it is being said and what it is in reference to.
