Yep, that pic of him being wheeled into the ambulance was horrible and tacky. Who wants to see that?


About Joe Jackson, Michael seemed to of made peace with him many years ago. Maybe Joe is to blame for some of what happened to him, but Iam in a way Mike seemed to of forgiven him (or so it seemed).

Iam gonna wear my white socks to work today LOL. Not meant to, and I know some assholes will say "who cares about Mike?", but thats all I can think of doing. Bit crap, but I gotta pay my respect somehow.

To Michael, thanks man for everything you gave to me and to this world. You'll always have a place in my heart and you'll always be an inspiration. Peace.

I won't blame anybody for MJ's death, but it doesn't take a PhD degree to realize that he had alot of human demons hanging around him.

I sincerely hope that Prince look at this siutation and learn from it, considering that he TOO have alot of opportunists hanging around who're doing him harm than good.

Wonder if the man is going to issue a statement? Everyone seems else to...
As for legends... well except for Prince, we still got Stevie God willing...

Did you hear what Brian Oxman said? That we will ifnd MJ's situation was far worse than Anna Nicole's. He said the family has been trying for months to protect Michael from his enablers.

OMG - what terrible, tragic news.

No matter how many times I see the headline that he's passed away, it doesn't sink in... then I see a clip of MJ in his prime, dancing in a frenzy, singing his heart out and just DOING IT... it breaks my heart, it really does. I feel so, so sorry for his kids, family members and fans. And I just knew whatever Quincy had to say would tear me up.


I was never a massive fan growing up; if anything, I was one of those people who 'd their eyes at the latest headline or publicity stunt. I wasn't a hater - I just didn't get 'it'. Although, like everyone in the entire world , I was fascinated by it. And that's about as far as it went.


Then, over the last 10 years, I have really grown to love his music. I'm not sure what started it... probably the fact that he is inescapable... but I love so many of his songs. I can't imagine my collection without it.


I remember going home on the bus with my sister, from my Gran's, the day the 'Thriller' video was premiered on British tv. And willing that bus to get a bloody move on!! Seeing the Motown audition tape for the first time. Falling in love with 'Someone Put Your Hand Out'.



Only today, I was talking in work with a fellow music geek - probably boring everyone around me - about the upcoming concerts and how much I hoped he plays 'Remember The Time'. On my lunch hour, I was walking around town blasting the 'Dangerous' album - still my favourite - and loving every second of it. And, finally, after all these years I couldn't believe that I would be finally seeing MICHAEL BLOODY JACKSON live in concert - in about 3 weeks!!! I have been gearing up towards it for the last few months... I managed to see Prince, I managed to see Madonna - I'll just never, ever get the chance to witness Michael Jackson live. Gutted.



What saddens me the most, is that my housemate - one of my dearest, closest, best friends in the world - probably cried himself to sleep tonight. I have known him for about ten years and, if anyone shares the same level of passion for an artist that I have for Prince, it's him. He is an MJ fanatic. The amount of friendly arguments we have had - MJ vs Prince - or stories I have heard about his MJ experiences... Ten years ago, I promised him that if/when Michael ever toured, I had to be there with him. And, as the concerts have got nearer, there's barely been a moment over breakfast, or when I get in from work, where I haven't heard the latest MJ update. I was sat next to him earlier when his Mum called and saw him breaking down and damn... I feel so, so sorry for him. You never think it'll happen to your idols.


MJ, what a remarkable, astounding, breathtaking talent you were. I truly hope you are at peace now. What a huge loss to the world of music.

I know.

But I'll hold my judgements untill the autopsy reveal what kind hole those people dug for him. From what I read/saw so far, its gon' be BUTT ugly and the difference between him & Anna, his family won't be quite.

@BBoy, Noimage, & Timmy

My new signature in memory of MJJ, as well as a shout-out to Prince & Madonna. Nice huh?!?

What is that? Is that Michael dancing?

I am counting on you Anx to try to make us feel better at the moment.

I have a sick feeling that the aftermath of his death will be as sordid and controversial as anything we've ever seen. Even if 99% of all the details turn out to be untrue, you will see a bunch of vultures having a field day over his passing and the status of his children, his estate, and all of the business people and hangers on suing his estate for whatever crumbs are left over.

What about the Beatles catalogue that he co-owned with Sony. To my understanding, that's worth billions and Sony wanted full control of it for years.
