Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

Such sad news. I love Michael Jackson. His music is timeless and is one of, if not the, greatest entertainer of all time. People of all ages and races knew Michael. My daughter knows Michael Jackson songs, shoot she has a few on her mp3 player.

I got back into the car after I heard the news and a radio station was playing Michael's songs and it was Human Nature, a tear almost came up.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

Its funny how people are passing condolences and taking shots at him also. Come on guys have some respect.

I love Michael Jackson, his music was definitely a part of my life. 80's kids didn't appreciate his journey. Just like most 70's kids didnt appreciate Jimi Hendrix.

I mean, the man had people around the world wanting to dress like him, HEAD TO TOE!! DAILY!!!

Thats so true. It took a while for me to appreciate Hendrix, just wasn't my thing at the time. But MJ was the joint. Man you know what sucks, I don't have a working tape deck. I would put some old MJ on but my Teac is messed up in a closet somewhere. Damn.

Re: Michael Jackson Dies From Heart Attack

On a related note. A memory that will last with me forever (hell it has this long)...is of him performing at the Motown Awards and unleashing the "Moonwalk" onto the country. I was watching this live with my mom and sister and all three of our jaws hit the floor that night. I swore it was magic and mirrors, noone could move like that.

Thoughts and prayers...

This.

Young folks who didn't see that live can't fathom how hot that 3 minutes was...people came out of their houses to talk about it that night. I also remember all the neighborhood kids gathering at my house to watch the Thriller video. In his prime, he was flat out royalty.

I was seriously disapointed with MJ for the molestation stuff...where theres that much smoke theres gotta be some kinda fire...but that Motown performance will forever be how I remember Michael Jackson.

RIP.

Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

I can understand it man. I mean his music was a part of you. Like I said who here, if of age, hasn't done a moon walk, or went to school and tried the one glove thing, or didn't have or know somebody and borrow the "red jacket". You don't do those kind of things or have that kind of attachment with just any recording artists. There's singers and dancer and good performers, there are great performers, there are elite performers and then there's Michael Jackson.

I remember taking 2 white sheets of paper,tracing my hand over the paper with a pencil, cutting along the lines, then stapling both hand shaped pieces together around the edges and wearing like a glove to school and showing it off,LOL. I also remember having a plain red jacket, and scribbling the black ribbing on the front and back trying to recreate the jacket from the "thriller" video with a black magic marker, and man was my mother FURIOUS!!! LOL. It's amazing that I haven't thought about those memories for YEARS until now, and I was no older then 5 or 6 years old. I'm 31 years old tomorrow,God willing, and I feel like I lost a childhood icon. RIP.

Gotta quote this for truth.

People that aren't old enough to understand simply cannot comprehend just how incredible that performance was. I can't think of another musical performance since that has been that profound.

Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

I know this might come off funny (it's not meant to) but I seriously worry for some of his long time fans who might be so grief stricken that they'll kill themselves tonight.

Yep.

People would weep over Mike, like, pass out, go to the hospital, serious!!!

This will be a day to remember, the day Michael Jackson died.

Bigger if you ask me. MJ's music spanned many , many cultures. Elvis did too but not as wide as MJ. Like I said earlier, the man holds 1st and 2nd for the most selling records of all time.

That's what I was saying. There is no entertainer who was bigger. All over the world people loved the man, people creid, fainted etc... Truly an iconic figure.
