Off the Wall and Thriller are simply the 2 most important music albums in the last 30 years! For all his problems in the US...his 50 shows soldout in hours...and he was a true musical Icon. Like most media icons, he will be remembered for the magic he brought to the world, not for his eccentric behaviour.

You sir are a sad sad person. One of the most influential people ever in music died. And your aragonce knows no bounds.

Sad he passed away before his final concerts.

Pretty sad... his career hadnt really picked up after History: Past,Present and future and its been on freefall ever since..

R.I.P MJ

you were a good entertainer..

So is it just me or did 90% of people mourning right now not give a shit about MJ anymore till yesterday?

This is real talk on why he died.

I think he died because of the media. Yes, the media. They accused him of being a rapist, child molester and all these other silly allegations. Everyday he had to endure the constant negative crap about him in magazines, newspapers, the radio, news channels etc. The paparazzi always on his trail and such. This kind of pressure causes stress and I tell you what, he endured alot of stress over the years; the media making up all kinds of crap and the constant law suits taking away all of his money, he just said screw the USA and moved elsewhere. But the thing is, the media is worldwide and they will find you. They bothered him to no end and now he's dead because of all the stress they put him through. It's REALLY amazing on how the very news stations that pumped the hell outta these allegations against him are saying "We Love you Mike" and all that crap. It really disgusts me on what they would do just to get higher ratings.

To be honest, MJ is better off dead, because the media can't reach him nor will he have ever found peace in this world. But he is assured peace in the next.

I just hope all this media hype dies soon and they focus on some important issue again like Iran.

wow, thats low. even for you.

There are some haters.. they are so fucking blind I swear, if they only knew how much of an influence he was to people in general..

Ok a joke I found to kind of lighten the mood around here. If its too offensive I'll edit it out, but it made me chuckle when I first read it.

What is the difference between Michael Jackson and a Disney movie?
After 50 years, a Disney movie can still touch little kids.

Too soon?

Edit: Since I can't sit here any longer and make sure this comment doesn't start a shitstorm, I would like to ask any mod that gets this in a report to simply edit it out if it is bad. I do feel sad for his friends and family, but I am a firm believer in Gallow's Humor.
