Any thoughts on Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson, pop music legend, dead at 50
Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums -- including "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" -- and electrifying stage presence made him one of the most popular artists of all time, died Thursday, CNN has confirmed.

I personally was shocked to hear he had passed over, and that he was 50. I remember seeing him as part of the Jackson 5. And then the whole thing with his looks and the deal with the children.
I have always liked his music. Maybe not the man or his actions so much, but his music.

I am in shock to hear of his passing. And Farah's. Could not believe it when I heard it on the local news.

All this shocks me as well. I am moving to LA next week Saturday!!!
I just cannot believe that we lost three big stars with in three days!!!
Rest in peace Farrah, Ed, and Michael!!
Good night, sweet prince. ;_;
Michael Jackson - Thriller (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8#noexternalembed-lq-lq2-hq)
He wasn't exactly my generation but oh well. I still have a hard time believing it. I mean, Michael Jackson? Dead? It was almost as if he was inhuman in a weird sort of way. Or, like, already dead.
When I heard of Farrah's last rites I knew he end was coming. Michael on the other hand is breathtaking, it was so sudden. I remember hearing of him going on tour then I get a call saying he's gone.
What a week, Ed, Farrah and Michael, may they find peace in the afterlife.
He was funny looking. He started out such a good looking kid, as per the jackson thriller video...
I'm half expecting him to come back in thriller style for his concerts...mwahahahahaha!
Why is it the weird stuff gets shunted into the androgyne forums :P
moved to general discussions...
I have hear Thriller in so long. You will be missed Michael.

Personally for me, that man was amazing in music but other than that he was nothing more to me. I believed for the whole case at his Neverland ranch should have put him in jail, but I guess not.
Either way, I don't really care for his passing over, however I do wish him peace upon his journey in the afterlife. RIP MJ. RIP.
I think he was a troubled person, but geez at one point he had more money than god. Still, it's sad when anyone dies. :'( Whatever else you wanna say about him, there's not much disputing he was a great artist.
Guys I just can not believe it!!! All I have on my mind is Michael Jackson. This feeling reminds me of the time Anna Nicole Smith died. The same feeling watching obama accept office. That feeling where someone important consumes everyone's mind. I wish I will someday have that effect on the world as the real me and not the person I am forced to be at the time.
Gosh I just can not get Michael Jackson out of my mind!!!!
Maybe his heart stopped when he realized he was 400 million in debt?

I am pretty sad about Farrah. She was just a doll.
I have always really liked Michael Jackson. When my wife called me to tell me this morning, I was close to tearing up. I really appreciated his musical and choreography talent and really really idolized his attempts to make this world a better place through that medium and others. I realize he has demons in his closet that ultimately disgraced him, but I tend to still see him as that wonderful kind and sensitive kid in his twenties who wanted so much to see a better world.
I will dearly miss him.
I am a huge MJ fan. I was so shocked. I relize that he was wierd but who cares. his music is unsurpassed. He was the best entertainer! He will always be the King of pop!!!
R.I.P MJ
