I SITTING ON MY BED WATCHING E WHEN HEARD THIS NEWS, AT FIRST I DIDN’T BELIEVE IT SO TURNED TO HLN AND LEARN THE TRUTH. AS A KID/TEEN MICHAEL JACKSON WAS SO BIG HE WAS THE FIRST BLACK STAR TO BE ON MTV ” BILLIE JEAN” WENT AND GOT THE LP, (YES REAL RECORDS) PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF IT KNEW EVERY SONG AS GOT OLDER MJ FACE HAD CHANGE BUT THE MUSIC WAS ALWAYS THE SAME THE DANCES THE MOVES. NEVER 4 GET STANDING IN LINE TO SEE THE WIZ IN HOLLYWOOD JUST 2 SEE HIM WAS THE SHYT. IT SEEMS THE GOOD 1′S DIE YOUNG “YES 50 IS YOUNG” TRYED ALL DAY NOT 2 CRY BUT HE’S A PART OF OUR HISTORY. I’LL MISS SEEING HIM THE GOOD THE BAD THE STRANGE. LOVE YOU MICHAEL… NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE!!!

@ ethelsledge1,
I feel ya.

MJ — a cool brothah in the music industry. we keep his family up in prayer. Hopefully the Jackson Family will come together to Celebrate the music of MJ. With Live Concert for TV. Featuring all the Jacksons Singing together to celebrate the music of MJ.

So i take it by these heartfelt tributes that him molesting those little boys cuz he sound some “GREAT” sounds that we’re even?? Gotcha…….*hops on bandwagon* Micheal Jackson was the greatest thing since sliced bread…..cant wait till R. Kelly dies so we can play Bump & Grind again

Oops i forgot to add that …our lives are measured what we do DURING LIFE and yes people make mistakes and YES we shouldn’t CELEBRATE a person’s death. But why dont we feel sorry for the “REGULAR” child molesters why dont they get tributes etc what because they cant sing? Micheal J. was a EXCELLENT performer/singer/song writer but he also have flaws he deserves great honors for his acheivements but also for his flaws that’s what made her who he was (yes i said HER).

this man was tourmented DAY IN AND DAY OUT since couple years now and its sad that it takes his sudden death for people to realise what he has left us with…if your an 80′s baby then you musta grew up listenin to MJ,i personally remember first song i heard from him it was ”they dont care about us”such truth in his SONGZ!! as we mourn his loss today lest we not forget what his songz brought to us. and i take this space to say REST IN HEAVEN MICHEAL:(

Truely is a sad day in the music world. Im an 80′s baby and my first song I remember hearing was thriller. My folks used to play it often

Michael Jackson will be missed and always remembered. This shows us that we have to preserve our icons of the world so that this does not happen again. When someone is calling out for help we must be there as the people we are responsible for keeping his legacy a live.

i cant believe now they are saying…his aides told the medics at UCLA he was injected with demoril which is a painkiller shortly before collasping!! The Sun newspaper is reporting this!! If thats the case then he was “Killed”!! WTF
