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!

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.

MJ has a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.

The is another Michael Jackson that also has a star on the WoF-He was a long time talk show host on KABC radio here in Lost Angeles.

People have been placing candles and flowers on the MJ-Talk Show host's star!

If you read the article you can see MJ mentioned for his star and fans.

===========================

Did anyone else notice that when Ed McMahon dies there was a small mention, Farrah dies and people are a little more interested....

MJ coverage is pretty crazy.

There is no doubt that we lost a great performer way before his time.

There is no doubt that there will be discussion about the similarities between the deaths of Elvis and Micheal. Micheal may be bigger in Australia than Elvis was 32 years ago. I believe that 32 years from now Elvis will still be going strong on the world stage and Micheal will be a faint memory by comparison.

That being said , Micheal's genius will truly be missed.

I cannot personally see Michael ever becoming a "faint memory." Regardless, he was his own person as Elvis was his. Both made a tremendous impact in the world of dance and music. It seems so shocking to me that he is gone.

I hope you have found peace, Michael.

ETA: I think Michael's death was more of a shock and that might be why it is overshadowing Farrah's to a degree.

Perhaps it is a generational issue, I don't see Elvis and MJ in the same light/vein. MJ, IMO, will live on in the memory of pop culture forever. He did so much for pop music, and the music vidoes. Amazing talent, an incredibly sad life.

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.
