That is word for word what I am telling everyone - people are calling me a heartless bitch.
lol

If it was some random child touching 50 year old up the road, no one would give a crap. I only feel sorry for his "kids" becuase they are too young to fully understand what he has done in his life, and still love him for being their dad. For that, I am sad he has passed becuase no child should have to suffer through the loss of a parent.

Outside of that GOOD RIDDANCE.

A sexual oddity of the evil, predatory variety. If he hadn't been rich he would have been in jail and dead there long ago. The conspiracy is called fame & big money buy the law. No sadness in my house.

Just a couple of things to think about

- MJ was never convicted of child molestation.
- Some people will try to exploit the rich and famous for monetary gain.

To quote Trent Reznor: "In America when we attain a certain level of success, its surprising to see all the legions of people around that just start fucking with you and ... can't wait to see you fail, waiting for you to fuck up, ripping you off, trying to use you..."

Granted, I think some of the things MJ said were inappropriate ...

well, In my hell of an opinion like any of you cares, is that, it's a sad say for music lovers and the ones who enjoys/admire his performance and his music which influenced many out there, again i am talking about the music world.

on the other hand, it might be a happy day for the parents of the victims because just like others said, one less pervs on earth, good riddance..etc! but again, he was never convicted of such act, so who knows if he really did. i am not in the position to judge he did NOT or he DID. however, to some of you, he deserves this death, i guess. but to me, it's sad, coz the fact i grew up with his music. that's just my 2cents.

i am sure someone is on the way here to get me flamed! RIP MJ *pour out some liquors*

agreed media exploitation, guilty/not guilty one of the greatest musical talents in our time is now lost.

my wife grew up somewhat sheltered and was never able to listen to his stuff .. so she doesnt appreciate his music at all. The way he was able to sing at a young age no one has done yet with such soul. and the fame a recognition he got around the world i dont think will be matched. I'd say impact wise he's right up there with Elvis and the beatles. and for my generation.. no one comes close ..maybe U2

his stuff was great and the music videos and dancing he did back in the day inspired legions of people.

its sad. :(

farah faucet (sp?) died too :(

RIP

I did love M.J - king of pop. Everyone has their views on his death. He wasnt proven guilty for touching little boys? Why is everyone so convinced he did? Cuz of media, everyone would rather believe the shit in the magazines and news.

If the news said "ellen is not gay" and ellen said she is gay i bet hard headed people would believe the media instead of the person itself.......sad

He was awesome in the 70's and 80's. Even though he had a couple good songs in the 90's, I couldn't stand him otherwise. He was just too weird...

Off-topic: if this is a conspiracy, then what's the story behind Elvis' death? LOL

We could get into an ugly debate here about the many scandals surrounding his life, but let's not.

Just remember one thing, settling out of court doesn't mean you are guilty of anything. It means that legal fees are outrageously expensive and you're trying to cut your loses because defending your good name could ruin you. I know that concept is easier to understand if you ever get sued or know someone who's getting sued. Not wishing that on anyone!

We don't really have any proof one way or the other about what MJ did or didn't do, so...

Can we instead try to remember the numerous gifts Michael Jackson left behind for all of us:

Thriller
Bad
Beat it
Rock my world...

There are so many I forget.

The MOONWALK? I mean... damn.. at the time, it was INCREDIBLE!!! Still is!

This one was a favorite of mine, long before Michael became so weird looking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqo17o2a1w




RIP, MJ, and thank you for all the hit songs

Let them. f' em if they do!

You're right. He was HUGE in the world of MUSIC. Personally, I think he peaked in the 80's. early 90's.

We ALL loved and bought the albums at the time. I still have a few cassette tapes I used to play in my old sony walkman! (yeah, that's ancient technology! )

Yes, he was kind of a weirdo (I'm not saying I believe the allegations against him, by the way, that's a different story) and why the F..ck would someone make themselves look like Joan Crawford, but he a damn good musician / dancer / entertainer at the time.

wow, someone somewhat agrees with me, ha,guess it's an honor!?

again, i will always remember him as an artist, a tremendous artist ever in the music biz and the entertainment world! other stuff, it was his personal life, media decided to reveal it, but i think we have the will and power to believe or not to believe...

his music, lives on..


PS, there were also SCream with his sister Janet, Smooth Criminal....etc
