Love him or hate him, one cannot deny that this man was one of the greatest artists of our time. His music is legendary, and his dancing skills are unparalleled. Legions of fans from all over the world adored him for the way he entertained. He was found in his rented home not breathing. Paramedics were called, and he was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
RIP to one of the greatest entertainers of all time!

I remember the “Thriller” video, when it first came out on MTV when they actually played music video’s.
I remember my Grandma showing me the CD package to “BAD” when CD’s first came out (They were in long cardboard packaging.
…and I always smiled at the songs at X-mas time from the Jackson 5.
Yeah, he was messed up–maybe trying to look like or be Diana Ross, but he was something, a real entertainer.
When most celeb’s pass I don’t really care, but Michael had an impact while growing up.
Sadly, his estate will sell him out and his music will be destroyed.
Later Michael, it was probably for the best…

I was at a bar last night, and they paid tribute to Michael. They dimmed the lights, and played his music all night long. I hope that Michael knew that he still had supporters till the end. RIP

I didn’t know Michael still had so much fans til they showed it on the news. It was eerie driving home last night and all I heard on the radio were his songs. He definitely made some great ones!!
The Thriller prison dancers will do another performance in honor of MJ:

Michael Jackon was so influential and his music (especially Thriller and his Jackson 5 stuff) will live on forever. This is a time to celebrate his talent and it’s great hearing all his music being played now to honor him.

Just checking out Amazon’s music section as of now, and the top 16 music is Michael Jackson. Take that BEP! Jackson’s 1988 will beat your 3008, Ohhhhhhhh!

Unfortunately he left $400 Million dollars in debt to pass on too his family.
I wonder how much my Thriller Vinyl would go for?

Even though he was a bit weird, and possibly a child molester, you can’t deny that he had amazing skills and fame that are unmatched. There is noone else in the world even close to being like MJ. I felt a little weird and sad the day he died. His death reminds me that if he can die, I can too.
