Michael Jackson Dead

[momcat]

I was listening to the news while making dinner when I heard he was taken to the hospital and was in a coma. Maybe 10 minutes later they announced his death. This was so sudden!

While I was never a real fan, I did like a few of his songs. To me, he'll always be remembered for "Thriller"...Michael Jackson at his best. Would all of you excuse me while I listen to the "Thriller" CD?

RIP Michael

When they replayed his Thriller video and the Beat It video, it just made me very sad. It took me for a ride in the way back machine. I had a totally different life then, I was married, my son was still living at home, my dogs were still alive. Isn't it something how you can hear a song or see a video and recall your life at that time in such vivid detail? His family is going to have a rough go of it.

There'll never be any denying, whatever else may have happened in his life, that he had undeniable, extraordinary, awesome talent.
I hope he's finally at peace. The final curtain call.

speculation is that MJ was such a perfectionist that he was rehearsing for his upcoming tour, to the point of i guess exhaustion, maybe his heart just gave out because of that and other contributing factors.

Even though i was not a huge fan, i loved many of his songs,and i do genuinely feel a great sadness at his passing, to think he was younger than myself, not by much, but i cannot imagine my life being over, far from it, such a shame and a waste of a very talented human being, i don't know whether MJ had his own personal torment or not, or whether he was happy or what,or whether he needed to find peace within himself, but whatever i am certain he would not have wanted to leave earth and his children, yes as a mother myself, it was the first thought to my mind to, what will become of them and how tragic a loss for them.

So sad. I loved Michael Jackson.

They are saying here it could be bigger than when Elvis passed on, he had a huge following and was certainly a wonderful entertainer.

I loved Michael Jackson when he was younger. He was a very talented man. Even my mom really liked him. I was sad when he got weird though. He was still talented, but just strange. His looks changing like they did and all the bizarre things he did.

RIP Michael (and Farrah, she is being overlooked today)

y'all remember when he played the Scarecrow in "the Wiz"? Good stuff right there!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Rest In Peace Michael You were one of the most talented men I've ever seen. What a shock.

Cindy, I agree that Farrah is being overlooked now. I want her to be recognized in the way she deserves.

Who knows, though...she might have preferred it that way. I know I wouldn't want a media frenzy over my death. I'd prefer it to be announced, and then for people to move on with living. I think part of it is because she was so sick, people were expecting it to happen sooner than later. I know I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely wasn't expecting Michael Jackson to die.
