I'm pretty shocked. I liked him back in the early 80s

You're so timely!

Well, rest in peace, Michael. Is it to soon to make a Thriller Zombie joke?

*Raph's Girl* · 06-25-2009, 05:38 PM

NBC news is reporting a family friend has CONFIRMED he died

He beat it to a better place, I suppose.

I would expect nothing more from you.

Well, they finally acknowledged it in my area.

They're playing Billie Jean on CNN, and I can't help but tear up.

This is TRULY f*cked up.

*Sewer Bull* · 06-25-2009, 05:41 PM

I was deeply seconding him when he planned to return and give that tour of 50 concerts, recently.

He was the greatest. His death hit me harder than I ever thought it would.

Indeed, he was planning a tour, and 50 is not old.

First an Icon from the 70's and now an 80's Icon. What's Up! Michael was pretty weird but I liked several songs - Man in the Mirror was my favorite. RIP Man.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-25-2009, 06:08 PM

Gees... that was quick. My local news just announced that a Michael Jackson special is gonna air tonight at 9pm on ABC.

*Katie* · 06-25-2009, 06:09 PM

so sad. When Stryker told me he died, i called it out to my office (I was still at work) everyone just gasped then fell quiet.

Michael Jackson was a true innovator. He's one of if not THE most influential artists of all time. He pretty much invented the music video as we know it today....he wrote "We are the World" which started the Live Aid movement and caused alot of artists to become active in social causes again. Thriller is the top selling album of ALL TIME. His Music was unlike ANYTHING out there. the man was a genius.

My favorite songs include Michael Jackson songs. He's in my ipod.

Thriller
Black or White
Smooth Criminal
Billy Jean

I'm too young to have appreciated any of that in its day....but find me even the smallest kid who doesn't know his name.

that says something

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-25-2009, 06:11 PM

I can't listen to any of it. I tried to put on the Smooth Criminal orchestral mix and just started bawling. I just can't do it.

Bigfoot · 06-25-2009, 06:13 PM

wow, this is messed up...

Just heard on the way home from work what happened...

RIP

*Raven* · 06-25-2009, 06:17 PM

I will admit Im not the biggest fan of his, but his passing has left me shocked. While I found his actions at times confusing his music has always hit a cord that made you want to have a good time, even if it was a parody of Weird al.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-25-2009, 06:20 PM

My fave Michael Jackson songs are:

You Are Not Alone
Earth Song
We Are The World
Ben

I just looked up some of my favorite MJ songs, "Remember the Time" and the duet with Janet "Scream". I teared up a little bit. He was working on a comeback, and new songs, and he had a HUGE tour planned... I know it's selfish but I wanted more new Michael Jackson music... and it sucks to know it can't happen.

Not selfish at all, man. It's even more depressing to think about what kind of music we would have been treated to had he been able to do all of those things.

that's what I've been thinking about. man. what was to come. sucks

*XERO* · 06-25-2009, 06:29 PM

Scream was a awesome song. Too bad he couldn't make another duet with Janet. That would've been sweet.
