I'm watching the TV,and they are showing how press was trying to get film of the ambulance that was taking him to the hospital. That is in such poor taste,and I find it disgusting.

I've already written this like 5 times, but THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM REAL. I just can't believe it.

Michael Jackson was one of those parts of my life that was never supposed to 'go away'.

Rest well, MJ. I hope you are finally at peace now.

Michael your inspiration will survive 4ever ! R.I.P ...

I'm gonna second this!

To hell with what anybody else had to say, I had my own opinions and I NEVER believed he was anything but a sweet, shy, person who wanted to live his live with peace and happiness. We repsected him and that's all that matters now.

this is just too shocking. i still can´t believe it. Michael Jackson dead? it´s unbelievable

OFF-TOPIC: Barry White lived longer, and he died at 53(?). Rick James died at 50-something as well.

This is true. Michael NEVER talked bad about other people. So much shit was said about him, so much, but he never turned into a bitter, angry person. I have never heard him bad talk others or get nasty when people talked all the crap they did about him. He was always a positive person no matter what. I truly loved the guy and just can't get over that he is dead.

Wow I'm in shock! He was a true entertainer, and his music will continue to bring us joy in the midst of sadness.

Man...they showed a clip of him performing "I Want You Back" with the Jackson bros, and I was just like, "Oh, god..."

(CNN) -- Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums -- including "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" -- and electrifying stage presence made him one of the most popular artists of all time, died Wednesday, according to multiple sources, including the Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press.
Michael Jackson, shown in 2008, was one of the biggest pop stars in history.

Michael Jackson, shown in 2008, was one of the biggest pop stars in history.

CNN has not confirmed this information.

He was 50.

He collapsed at his residence in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, California, about noon Pacific time, suffering cardiac arrest, according to brother Randy Jackson. He died at UCLA Medical Center.

Jackson's blazing rise to stardom -- and later fall from grace -- is among the most startling of show business tales. The son of a steelworker, he rose to fame as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, a band he formed with his brothers in the late 1960s. By the late '70s, as a solo artist, he was topping the charts with cuts from "Off the Wall," including "Rock With You" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

In 1982, he released "Thriller," an album that eventually produced seven hit singles. An appearance the next year on a Motown Records 25th-anniversary special cemented his status as the biggest star in the country. Timeline: The life of Michael Jackson »

For the rest of the 1980s, they came no bigger. "Thriller's" follow-up, 1987's "Bad," sold almost as many copies. A new Jackson album -- a new Jackson appearance -- was a pop culture event.

The pop music landscape was changing, however, opening up for rap, hip-hop and what came to be called "alternative" -- and Jackson was seen as out of step.

His next release, 1991's "Dangerous," debuted at No. 1 but "only" produced one top-ranking single -- "Black or White" -- and that song earned criticism for its inexplicably violent ending, in which Jackson was seen smashing car windows and clutching his crotch.

CNN needs to find and interview that Dove Lady.

I was thinking the same thing. MJ was def in my Top 10 and I cannot stop crying. I cant imagine what they are going thru. I would probably be in cardiac arrest if something ever happened to Prince. Makes it all too real. All my love and sympathy to all MJ supporters. I am heartbroken.

Ed MacMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all in 3 days

very sad


I wonder if Prince will have any comment on MJ at any upcoming shows....
it would be really nice if he said something.....

plus I just heard 1 minute ago on the radio that Jeff Goldblum has had some sort of accident....

I'm more calm but the tears haven't stopped. I don't care if people flame me for being sad. He was my hero. I loved him like he was my family. His music got me through being constantly teased in school, my parents divorce when I was 9, my cousin passing away 2 years ago, whatever problem I had, his music made me feel better and that's what he was about: Love

maybe he didn't died ,maybe its a publicity stunt before those concerts

So Michael passed before all of his siblings and both his parents. His whole family is left in mourning.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

This is my second fave performance after Motown 25. Brutha man went to church didn't he?

Harlepolis said:

I understand why you're upset. I'm just explaining why they're doing it. If you don't like it, stop watching. It's a major part of his story, so it's going to be a topic of conversation in reflecting on his life and how he impacted the world.

I'm very sad and mourning as well, but TV news isn't playing a part in it.

Cinnamon234 said:

FACT: Apart from then-Sony CEO Tommy Mottola, Michael never ever had a public feud with anyone. Michael never even argue back publicly at Paul McCarthy.

FUCK IT, I need to get drunk! This is crazy....

The King of Pop is Dead?

I just don't feel good at all, at all.

Harlepolis said:

can anyone say restraint?!

I just cried and I wasn't feeling all that much but when I started thinking about the real impact and the music it really did make me sad that a part of our childhood is gone.

I'm feeling really sick, why oh why did this have to happen!!!!???
