Michael Jackson has passed away

Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

Still in shock. I walked in the barber's office when the news first started trickling in that he might've passed; none of it seemed really real. I grew up on the Jackson 5 (people should checkout Youtube for some of their early performances). Still remember how much of a moment it was when he moonwalked on the Motown 25 special. Remember how much of an event the Thriller video was on tv. Staggering to think how much he influenced music, and pop culture period. The Making of Thriller was the first vhs tape I ever purchased - and I brought it before I even had a vhs machine. Back when I still wasn't sure whether to get a vhs or betamax lol. He was truly unique; hard to imagine anyone coming anywhere near close to his status ever again. RIP Michael

True indeed. Others will get richer, and some get more hyped at any one particular point in time but to reach that status I don't see happening for a LONG while.

This is a sad day, first the lovely Charlie's Angel who is now in Heaven.

And then one of the greatest if not the great entertainer and musician ever dies. I truly love Michael Jackson and grew up to his music and his incredible vision on all his videos. My favorites are Thriller, and Do you remember! I think that's the name of the song, the one with Eddie Murphy as a King. OMG this day is just unreal, 2 months before his 51st birthday.

I wish his family the best in dealing with this. He was their star child and so many questions on who he really was, will now never be answer.

R.I.P Michael Jackson

Now I want to go find that Moonwalker Movie so I can see him change into a car, and do the extended Smooth Criminal scene.

I'm not even going to bother quoting your actual quote. That was just classless.

I hope you enjoyed your little bit of "humor" there.

Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

If you like music, you listen to Michael Jackson every day. Everything on the radio today - EVERYTHING - is influenced by Michael Jackson in some way.

When you listen to the Thriller album, or Off The Wall before it, there is nothing on those albums like anything before. Nothing. For the next several years, bands of all genres - country to heavy metal - copy his rhythms and beats.

Michael Jackson was a modern day version of Amadeus Mozart. He, too, was a strange and mythical person, but his music was not like anything heard before at the time. Composers had trouble understanding the way he thought, and what he created.

In a way, I'm glad. Michael Jackson was mega famous from the time he was four years old. Never had a normal life, especially with his father beating the living hell out of him. This world was a difficult and sometimes cruel place for a person so unable to cope.

I don't know if he was a child molester, but I think it's entirely plausible that he is not. I don't think the guy ever understood normal because he never got to see "normal".

RIP.

Just tuned into MTV and got goosebumps galore after seeing Chris Brown kill it on the dancefloor to "Billie Jean". Great song.

I remember thinking how cool the video to "Billie Jean" was when the tiles on the floor lit up. These MJ songs take me so far back and remind me of my early years.

Thats unfortunate, hopefully she has something to say at some point. Apparently Entertainment Tonight has a photo of Michael Jackson in what appears to be the back of the abulance getting oxygen pumped into him, its a sad image to see imo so for that reason I wont post it here but it can be found by going to the following link if you want to see it anyways....
