    What a shock! No matter what his scandals were in his life, his music was and always will be what he should be remembered for. He will finally be at peace. Like him or hate him, he was an icon in the music industry.

    They will keep him out and worship him until he is stinking. I say , since he has had so much plastic surgery, melt him down and make lego blocks so little boys can play with him now.

    I still can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that Michael Jackson is gone ( and way too soon). Just as he was about to show the world why he's still the King Of Pop, self-anointed title or not, with those 50 concerts in London. Actually, Elizabeth Taylor called Michael, the "King Of Pop." So that's where the title stemmed from. In any case, it was the truth, he was the King.

    I grew up during Michaelmania in the 80's, and I remember when he performed at Motown 25. I felt like I was in a trance watching him break out those dance moves; and when he did the moonwalk, it was all over for me.I had to have sequined glove, the red jackets from the Beat It and Thriller videos, and all things related to Michael. When the Thriller video first debuted on MTV, my mother was having contractions with my younger sister, and she would not leave to go the hospital, until she saw the entire video. I think if we waited 20 minutes after that, a thriller would have happened, right there in the living room, as she might have delivered my sister right there.

    Even as Michael's life began to take a turn for the worse ( and weird), I still played Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous, on a regular basis ( Off The Wall is my favorite MJ album). Michael may have been a wacko, but he was a g...

    R.I.P. Michael Jackson. You may be gone now, but the music goes on forever. I feel very fortunate to have been able to witness the global phenomenom that you became, because of your otherwordly singing and dancing talents. There will never be another you, MJ K.O.P.

    wow, that's not a generalization or anything. actually, the people who loved him were/are people that have real taste in actual music.

    My family and I are very sad and our prayers go out to the family. I can remember my kids dancing to his songs.
    He was so talented in so many ways. I think the scandals were people trying to get rich off him..He was a nice kind man and he cared about people. I know why Elizabeth Taylor loved him..He will always be the King of Pop..

    i really don't care if he died. who cares? he was a freak anyway! NO ONE CARES! it doesn't surprise me at all that he died. it was only a matter of time.
    plus, he did bad stuff to innocent little boys.
    FREAAAAKKKKK!
