RIP King of Pop:(

Dude, free speech come with responsibility... there's no reason for you to say something like that on here, and since you chose to do so, you face the concequences.

Go spam the Gametrailers forum, I'm sure you'll be more well received there.

Again, R.I.P. MJ... I know it seems like he died to us years ago, but this summer's tour could have been the rebound that he so desperately needed in his life.

I'm going to have to agree with you. There are many worse things going on in the world today... most people don't even bother to make a thread about the real tragedies in life.

I know everybody FEELS like they know MJ because of their relation to his music, but remember, you don't and he is just one person in this big world of ours.

I do agree that he really did change the landscape of music, even until this day. So it is sad that he is gone, but life goes on and there are many more important things out there to worry about.

To be honest with you, I felt the way they handled his death was really bad. Because he was a human being, they shouldn't have let him died like that... but it's his people that "killed" him and they have different ways to go with those kind of stuff. But no, I didn't cry.

I think you're mixing stuff up though: Saddam did bad things for real: he killed people. Michael Jackson apparently molested children, but we'll never know.

@ Arkk: Sure, but it's been like, what, 50 minutes since the creation of this thread? We will forget about it for sure, but it's still the thought that counts. The media will surely blow this out of proportion for the next few days though... As long as they give the good image in people's minds (example don't look happy when someone dies), that's what counts.

Damn shame. Damn shame. He made some really good music in his time.

For some reason I got to agree with both of these statements.

Well this is just sad... sheesh

This is absolutely terrible. I don't know many of his songs, but I know how much he influenced today's music industry, and all in all he just had a flair for really fun songs.

As for some people's behavior in this thread, I'm glad you're banned, because VGChartz has no place for people who don't give a flying fuck about others. It DOESN'T MATTER who it is or if you like them or not--coming into a thread about ANYONE being sick or dying and saying things like 'good riddance' just... there is no term for it, butyou should look up the term feeling' in the dictionary.

In memory of the king of pop, let's all partake of his greatest hit ever:

Must have drunk too much Jesus Juice. At least the kids are safe. But judging from Molyneux's Milo video maybe not for long.

People's lives really are affected and changed by those they looked up to / grew up with; this isn't illusory, it's fact.

Emotion over MJ doesn't mean anyone thinks it's bigger than what's happening in Iran, or something.

One huge difference is that this happened all at once, while many huge events unfold over weeks to years.
