Michael Jackson R.I.P. - Page 2

sahiaman · 26th June 2009

Damn, what really sucks is he was a single parent to 3 kids. I hope they will be ok and left alone by the media.

deuc647 · 26th June 2009

Wow, im really sad. We lost a pop icon.

R.I.P Mike

My prayers go out to his and his family.

lbruun · 26th June 2009

he is gone

MikeTSH · 26th June 2009

I think it's safe to say that now

h4nc0 · 26th June 2009

Nu-tra · 26th June 2009

I still can't believe it

MikeTSH · 26th June 2009

Ashermusic · 26th June 2009

Very sad.

jeremy.c. · 26th June 2009

no doubt, poor kids.
He left a legacy the likes of which no one else will ever leave, we can celebrate that. He was a giant in his time and place, hopefully his later years won't over shadow his younger days' accomplishments.

Going to go spin Billie Jean in his honor.

malgfunk · 26th June 2009

The real end of an era..... RIP Mike!!! There will be no solo artist ever again to achieve what MJ has in the music industry. He ran the table!!!!!!!!

Space Station · 26th June 2009

sucks..only 50

Airwaves · 26th June 2009

He was my superstar, when I was a kid...I had all his albums, tried to dance like him and so on.

RIP

Makinithappen · 26th June 2009

wow.... Regardless off all the publicity around his personal life... He was a very talented individual and this is sad news.

Stevil · 26th June 2009

wonder how much the Beatles catalog will go for.

scorpio01169 · 26th June 2009

no...it's real....he's gone to a better place. will always love him and what he has done for the music biz

Big 3rd · 26th June 2009

Easily the greatest performer EVER!!! Still can't believe this.

Mr Funk · 26th June 2009

I'm gutted.

A childhood hero is gone. Yes, there were many questions about him and what he may or may not have done, but he was one of the reasons I sing today and have a love of soul music.

One of the best voices ever in his best years.

Shame

voicegenius · 26th June 2009

This is UNBELIEVEABLE! I kinda wanna cry...

zboy2854 · 26th June 2009

Whatever his personal life may have been, no one can ever take away the fact that he was one of the most talented and groundbreaking artists of all time.

All I can think of now is Bruce Swedien's great stories about Michael, and how he nicknamed M.J. "Smelly", because that's what Michael would say instead of cursing or when something musical was really cool or funky, and he would call it "smelly jelly".

Hopefully he can find more peace in death than he did in life. Godspeed "Smelly"...

cl516 · 26th June 2009

I am fking speechless right now. This can't be real. I grew up listening to him. I remember like it was yesterday skipping school with some friends to watch the premiere of Thriller, not that this has anything to do with this. I'm just typing my thoughts... Wow. I really feel like sht now. At the same time, I am glad that he no longer has to deal with the BS that this world is going through.
He is DEFINITELY in a better place. RIP.

Jax · 26th June 2009

I feel anger at his dad for ruining his childhood and turning him into a disturbed adult. I believe Michael Jackson would've been just as great without having been tortured as a child. For that matter, his brothers and sisters tormented him rather badly as well, following their father's example.

He was one of the world's greatest musical talents.

RIP Michael Jackson.

It'sJoeAgain · 26th June 2009

Died at 3:15PM Pacific time...roughly an hour ago...... God bless his soul......

Edit; also in the news, Farrah Fawcett dies at 62 from cancer...two huge icons gone in a day..

orangeoctane · 26th June 2009

For you youngsters out there that think he was just a whack job celebrity, take the time to go back, study and appreciate his roots and early works as a solo artist. Lots to learn there.

locadia · 26th June 2009

RIP MJ!

analogjeff · 26th June 2009

MJ and Farrah Fawcett on the same day... this is the end or beginning of something... look out for a California earthquake next...
