He was a great artist in his day, and has left lots great tunes in all our heads, whether you love him or hate him.

2nd only to Prince for a great talent of that era IMO

RIP

 

Please pass them on! It is actually a sign of how dear he was respected

 

Is it? To me when you can laugh your head off at someone who has just died, you have no respect for them. Maybe a sign of how popular he was, but not how well respected.

 

'They expect vigils to run into days from people who are absolutely devestated at his death...'

Madness

 

You can tell its big news because "Database latency too high"

 

i just got banned from cableforum for posting chamone ****. bit touchy over there

 

You both misunderstood me. Rather than people saying 'good riddance' to me I'd rather they cracked a joke, shared a memory and inwardly reflected.

 

You must have been busy on the days that the planes had their little incidents with the twin towers, the day when Princess Di had her bump in the French tunnel and a few recent world financial collapse related type of tales

Agree with this (apart from the liking his music bit !)

 

About 6,000 people trying to get on !

 

Come to think of it Jackos spent half his life trying to be her

 

Respect or no respect let's hear them jokes

 

At the end of the day, yes he was weird, yes his music was fantastic, and yes he has died aged 50. All the guff spouted about him is just that, guff. I am sad about it as his music has featured quite heavily in my life and 50 is far too young to die

 

...and 50 years is far too long for a paedophile (sorry, 'alleged' paedophile) to live

 

Those poor children will be able to go out without wearing stupid veils.

A good comment from someone watching Sky News, and would be good on his headstone.

Never has someone flown so high, and died so low.

The world should remember he was dogged by numerous child abuse allegations, holding his own child out of high story hotel rooms etc etc etc , yes he made history with his music and was seen as a icon ( alebit a controversial one) for other musicians, but he lived his life poorly.


Nice, reports that people are trying to break into the hospital, via fire exits for information and souveniers. Jesus, the levels people go to.

 

I just want my money back for the tickets....

RIP Michael.

His death is still the biggest 'shock', yes, (('''') applicable) since Elvis died.

At least MJ was actually good when he was in his prime.

 

I am not interested in slagging off the dead. Give your to someone else.
His music is what I am talking about

 

Great dancer and that's the only positive thing I can come up with on the subject

 

I bet you know all the words to most of his songs - we all do; far more than ABBA

 

Elvis
Not good ?


Not my favourite but he was pretty special by any standards as was/is the other J4cko

 

Oh FFS, Don't worry, you'll still be able to buy his back catalogue...although the prices will be up a few quid as from tomorrow no doubt. He hasn't released anything decent in years anyway, so the music creating artist has been dead for a long time.

Get a grip

 

All Michael Jackson dates CANCELLED.
Including Liam (6) and Joe (4)

Michael are you okay?
Are you okay Michael?
Michael are you okay?
Are you okay Michael?
You've been hit by-
You've been struck by-
A smooth myocardial infarction!

You know I'm dead, I'm dead, you know it
and the whole world has the answer right now just to tell you once again
WHOS DEAD

They were the first 3 i got.

 

He was great.

Jacko was the next level. We'll never see similar again due to the way music is produced now.

 

so as we've just been talking, could it all be a big ruse...?

after all the paedo stuff, spiralling debts and all the other bad things in his life, is it feasible that Wacko might have staged his own death so he can live out his life as a recluse somewhere??..


stranger things have happened!

 

Whats the matter, was your first reply not to your liking?
There is no need to be nasty. He is dead. I liked his music. End of. Is it a crime to be a little bit sad he has passed.
I am not interested anymore, Sting.

 

They're all still alive, so the winner takes it all in this case.

 

No desire to fall out with you over my lack of sadness or empathy for a celebrity death.

Look, lets get this clear. I was slightly saddened to hear of Princess Di being killed, admittedly someone I never met so hence the lack of emotion and tears, but she seemed to basically be a good person who would have gone on to do so much good work for her charities etc. so I class that as a loss to the world.

However, I find it a bit of a crime to be sad about the death of someone as 'weird' as he was.

His music lives on so that's a good thing if you were a fan but sad over his death?? Not possible.

 

The LA coroner has 'confirmed' the confirmations..
