This just in... about fifteen minutes ago I head that Michel Jackson, world wide pop-start has died. Went to go see Transformers... real slow pace from the first one... but on the way back on the radio, I heard official news that he died at 6:28.

He was in the hospital and they had to resuscitate him like 2 times, then he slipped into a coma and died.

We may know him as that weird guy who molests kids, but that is not the true soul of the king of pop. He was a sensation back in the day with the best hits out there like Thriller, the number one pop album ever created... said by Genis World Records or somethin'. He was so cool, everyone wanted to be like him, and slowly he slipped away from his fans and coolness. I'm tellin' this because... well... everyone here knows about it, so I had to tell someone, and he was a music legend.

Hats off to ya' Mr. Jackson.

Do you mean Michael Jackson?

My mother was rather unhappy when she heard about it. She said it was a sad way to go after starting out with so much promise.

Boo-fucking-hoo. I don't see that the world has lost anything by this.

[Pasidon]

Now it's comments like that in which people tend to forget the rave people once had over him, not the criticism of today. He gave his part and entertained a generation and beyond.

You don't get to pick and choose parts of someone's life to determine greatness. Fact of the matter is, he turned into a fucking wacko later on in life who fixed his face until it broke, got accused of molesting kids TWICE, hung a baby out of a window, made a mockery of the justice system... I could go on.

So. A big fat fucking MEH to this news. Feel bad for the family and that's it.

[some_weirdGuy]

Man some people just hate michael jackson...
I don't.

It seems the news was right, you either hate him, or you liked him (actually, i still think that sounds stupid, ofcoarse its either one or the other, not like theres a third option :X)

Anyway, saw the news, can't say i'm heart broken, but it's definitely a case of "wow, he's dead, thats not to good"

[Pasidon]

Yea, I like to say he died long ago too.

[Vortigern]

Hey, they should preserve him in formaldehyde and use him like a puppet to remake the video for Thriller. I'd watch that.

Sorry if you were fans of MJ, but the man was a complete wackjob. All he had to contribute to society came a long time ago, and since then he has achieved nothing but lawsuits and infamy.

[GodSun666]

WooHooo!!! Great news.. he commited suicied from what i heard ! Good job Michael you fail at Life!

Aboard the fail boat please ...

ROFL... how can people actually hate someone, particularly this guy, without even knowing him. Its rather sad.

Don't feel affected by this but certainly dont have anything against him. Good music too.

[GodSun666]

I must admit good music.. but i hate him becase : 1. he is black then he changed to white(as i call it in dutch : Land verader) Country betrayor. 2. He has done so many surgeric operations he changd his look to even worse of what he was. 3. he is a child raper. 4. He must have deserved it .

1 & 2; its his body, so he is allowed to do what he likes to it.
3; accused, not confirmed...
4; "must have deserved it". You think people get what they deserve?

[Puppeteer]

I for one am sad at his passing. He was a talented musician and showman. I believe in 'innocent until proven guilty', and the fact that the molestation charges against him came to nothing are enough for me to stop speculating. Rumours are horrible.
RIP.

Well the world will be in mourning... the majority that is.

It's just another celebrity who has died. Celebrity status can turn you into a modern day deity.

[{IRS}Athos]

Well, I guess we'll have to go with Nietzche's "god is dead" theory then.

Landverrader? What the fuck is wrong with you, do you even know what that means? Colour of skin does not equal nationality, and the fact you even think of such a word shows your horrible ignorance. Really, pretty amazing you're accusing someone who changes their looks for personal reasons of high treason. What's next, transsexuals betray their sex? You idiot, or as I call it in Dutch, achterlijke klootzak.

He was never proven guilty of any sexual act with children, and rape was never among his accusations in the first place.

Michael Jackson was a great artist, and even though I'm not a fan of his genre, I respect him for it. His life was tragic, and when I consider the extreme amount of exposure and media-hype he had to go through his whole life, I can somewhat understand his severe eccentricities.

You may think your whole ''I'm too cool to give a fuck'' attitude makes you tough, but in reality it really brings out the ignorant fool in you.

One who doesn't wish to hire lawyers and go through legal hassle. In short, a large percentage.

He was never proven guilty of any sexual act with children, and rape was never among his accusations in the first place.

More to the point, he was never proven innocent. He settled out of court. Now tell me, what kind of innocent man does that?

The settlement was initiated by the kid's father, who was also recorded talking about ''making it big'' after these accusations. Jackson became very stressed and depressed, and got addicted to many prescribed drugs, which caused his health to decline. It was then that his legal advisors told him to accept the settlement because they feared he wouldn't be able to endure the lengthy trials ahead. After the settlement, the kid and his father refused to continue with the still ongoing police investigation. This, combined with my belief in innocent until proven guilty, makes me withold my judgement of Michael Jackson in this aspect.
