I can't sleep and I am still watching his videos. My all time favorite video...yeah, the other ones are amazing, and Thriller was a mini-movie, but something about this song and video still gives me chills.

You were there, before we came.
You took the hurt, you took the shame.
They built the walls to block your way.
You beat them down.
You won the day.

It wasn't right, it wasn't fair.
You taught them all.
You made them care.
Yes, you were there, and thanks to you
There's now a door we all walk through.
And we are here, for all to see --
To be the best that we can be.
Yes, I am here....
Because you were there.
---Michael Jackson, 1989

Oh please. Whilst it is obviously a very tragic event, you need to take a step back. It wasn't us running around spending money like it was going out fashion. He was the one who wanted to maintain his lavish lifestyle but was heavily in debt (apparently up to $400m) and in dire need of some money. So selling 750,000 tickets for the gigs at the O2 was an obvious way to help alleviate his financial insecurites.

I imagine there probably were a few promoters in the background influencing his decision so they could pocket a small fortune and pointing him the direction they wanted, but he hadn't performed in public for years and hadn't sung live for over a decade, so the level of demand to see him was sky-high. It made good business sense.

Rest in peace buddy,

You will always be loved for what you've achieved and done for this world.

R.I.P.

Still can't believe it.

5:08 am in the morning, still can't sleep. Got a massive headache from crying all day. His death has hit so hard. I want to go to bed and wake up and find out this was all a bad dream .

Who knows what the outcome of these shows would've been had they actually gone ahead...

But his fans will always remember him for what he proved to be back in the day: THE BEST.

Rest in peace MJ.

MJ gave the pure love of god in his music ...that's why you feel it in your heart if you have a heart you will cry in private or public when you think about mj and hear his music ....human

dag said:

In that case: he died.
people do you know.

Let's just hope he has found peace at last.
No need to put the pressure up on a dead person.

His death is no more or less sad than any other.

Whilst I understand he was very famous and hence deserves some media coverage etc, the level of blanket reporting for an event that essentially has no serious consequnces is ridiculous. Obama getting assinated would merit this kind of reporting due to the multiple consequences of such an event for example. A famous singer dying does not.

That, and the apparant personal sadness expressed by so many, just as when Diana died, makes for a fascinating anthropological study of modern society , but one that surely can only broadly conclude that we have lost all sense of perspective and need to grasp any opportunity to express emotions that appear to be missing from our daily lives. There's some great studies on this phenomena for those interested. I'll try to dig up some links..

As tragic as his death is, something tells me it was inevitable.

Just a matter of time before he could finally leave the physical and mental cage he has been forced to live in for 50 years.

May he rest in peace. He was an extraordinary human being.

at least he will not live in pain anymore.....this vid says it all

I am not sure if this is still a response to my sentence "what have you done to us?" It is just something you can say over here, when someone does. All it means is "why? what are we going to do here without you?"

lilgish said:

I'm feeling physical pains too. My head, eyes....My Mother has been sad and worried all day that I'm going to make myself ill from the stress of it all. I have a tendency to kind of become despondent when I lose someone I love. I can't dance and party immediately like many other people can. The only other time this has happened was when a dear cousin of mine passed away in 2007, and I remember my Mother was in fear that I would break down physically/mentally then. I didn't, and I'm not going to now either. But the sadness of these loved ones' lives being gone, and the bold reality of early death is very overwhelming....
