We may all have our personnel opinions of his private life but let's remember him for his music.

He's currently in hospital, has he died already?

Wow. Not like I'm the guys biggest fan or anything, but this has an odd unreal quality to it.

R.I.P I guess. May not like him, but I won't speak ill of the dead...

Edit: Quintus, the story says he was dead when he arrived and they were unable to resuscitate him.

[LittleGrizzly]

Well he will certainly be remembered, he lead a rather odd life. Never really liked his music all that much TBH.

[tibilicus]

Seems sky news got it wrong, apparently he's in a coma. Even still he's probably not going to come out of it..

[Lemur]

Now we'll never have a giant robotic MJ in Las Vegas with frickin' lasers for eyes. Sadness.

-edit-

For those who never witnessed it in all its glory, Captain Eo part 1 and part 2.

[Samurai Waki]

its Human Nature... I can't help it, I feel bad for the guy. He's off the wall, Falling in love with the lost children, black or white, He should have just stayed in the closet, and beat it, instead of getting himself involved with pretty young things. Being Just Good Friends was HIStory. He's a smooth criminal, and a dangerous tabloid junky. Whatever Happens, He's Gone to Soon, I'm Speechless, but I think Heaven Can Wait.


Leave me alone...

[Hosakawa Tito]

As a kid I remember watching the Jackson 5 shows, they even had a cartoon. He had an amazing voice even as a little kid, and his dance moves became legend as he grew up. Too bad his adult life became such a bizaare tragedy.

[Reenk Roink]

Always liked Michael and his music. Prayers go out to his family.

[Togakure]

Breaking news all over now. The "King of Pop" is dead. His personal life was a mess, but he was a genius songwriter and performer in his own right. RIP.

BBC was pretty late to confirm the death.

There was a lot of shock factors to this I have to say, very sudden and unexpected. RIP Mr. Jackson.

RIP

I've never liked anything about him too much but nevertheless he was a childhood memory.

[Chaotix]

Totally unexpected.

He wasn't an old guy, either, he was only 50. Stateside we've got more info- apparently he died of cardiac arrest, and they're unsure if it was drug-related or not.

Too bad... his music may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but there's no denying he was one of the biggest celebrities in the world, and revolutionized pop music.

But I hate his music...

[naut]

But I hate his music...

Same. But, this is for his death and all that, not the merits/lack thereof of his music.

Crazy guy, great dancer, have a good long sleep.

[Tratorix]

But I hate his music...

How can you hate the man who made Thriller?

Not a big fan of his music but I will never deny that he was talented.

His career took off when I started elementary school, and he was huge again when I was at uni.

Wishing him well on his final journey.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

I'm sure the stuff about his adult life is all a hoax, about some kids just trying to make some money.

But whatever... his music was great, and he will be remembered.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Wow, that was quite surprising news. On the other hand, no... it's gotta have an impact when you do to your body what he obviously did.

[Monk]

I was born after Thriller and thus its sorta strange to think about, how suddenly and unexpected this happened.

Whenever a big entertainer dies who has been huge literally my entire life, it's interesting to try to imagine what the modern state of music would be without them. Especially so in this case since a lot of the younger talents these days (my generation) all seem to name him as an influence. RIP.

I grew up with his music. I didn't like everything, but I still have good memories about how we tried to dance like him as kids.

Heh, I don't think anyone i knew who tried to do the moonwalk could ever do it right. (myself included)

[Jolt]

Let's just say that I'm pretty sure his familly aren't the only ones pissed off with his death.

[Agent Miles]

As a son, a brother and a father myself, my condolences go out to his family.
Michael Jackson was…
a. “the King of Pop!”
b. [edit]
c. [edit]
d. all of the above.

Choose wisely.

[Let's wait until he's in the ground before we talk about his well-documented personal problems. That's the Org tradition. —Lemur]

[Alexandros_III]

I feel sorry for him. He was a great guy untill his fans (literally) drove him insane. RIP Jackson.

[Moros]

Heh, I don't think anyone i knew who tried to do the moonwalk could ever do it right. (myself included)

It's quite easy though once you've figured the 'trick'. It can be learned in 5 minutes time really.

Eitherway. The guy was probably a bit of the knocker, but that's no surprise the way he grew up. However I don't think he was a bad person, however a very talented one instead. RIP.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Yes, I never liked his music either (I do not like any music, and I never listened to any of his music) but it is quite sad he died when only 50 years old. And now there are suspicions flying around, with his personal doctor disappearing... And we will never know what truly happened between him and those children... But, the major question now is: what is going to happen to those MJ jokes that were a staple of my school lunch conversations ??

[Reverend Joe]

I do not like any music

And I still hate you.

No, I'm not serious. Don't get worked up.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I do not like any music

Phew, I'm not the only one.

Louis, as he often does, made a nice post that accurately summed things up. I wasn't a MJ fan but you don't have to be to appreciate just how big a legend he was, hopefully he will find more peace than he did in this life.
