I think it would be a really sad day if Jackson turned out to now be dead. I like Jackson. Let's hope he pulls through.

**Aadriyah** · 06-25-2009, 07:33 PM

According to the news he is

I couldn't believe it, I was shocked. He's been great, despite all intrigues. He's been the life of the music industry. He's been the biggest idol... God I'm so sad.... Hope he'll rest in peace.

**hairygunther** · 06-25-2009, 07:40 PM

Don't worry. His was a powerful spirit - wherever it is now, it must continue to entertain.

**Galaxian** · 06-25-2009, 11:39 PM

Me too. I had alopetia right from the start of my life and was fraught with psychological difficulties - the music of Herr Jackson was very helpful to me. It didn't, on its own, cure me or anything, but it was part of a happy collection of things which did indeed, slowly but surely, cure me. Of course so was my Mum!

Jackson helped me guage the truth about being an individual, about standing out from the crowd but not letting their jeering stop you from always putting your best foot forwards.

For at least 10 years I fantasized about being as great as Michael Jackson, standing on a stage in front of an audience of many millions (when you factor in the cameras) and entertaining them with amazing music. In the end, as you can see, I decided on a career of programming! But I've never ever stopped playing music round the clock, and Michael Jackson was definitely, very definitely, the first artist I became a fan of, and a huge fan at that.

Actually last night when I read that stuff and wrote the post I was moved by his death but not unduly sad. Today someone said "Billie Jean" to me, so I listened to the said song, watched the man dance, and I had to weep, there was no alternative.

At least now I will listen again to many of his songs and remember those things men like him teach us and hope that we will never forget.

Go on, keepvid it and mediaconvert it - it's worth watching this crazy diamond shining on, even after his death...

its a sad day

R.I.P. Michael

It's sad he passed away at 50 years old, he had a tough few last years, but hopefully he is at peace now.

**Knight13** · 06-27-2009, 03:46 AM

Their are lots of people out their like Michael Jackson but no on cares about them the only reason people cared about Michael Jackson was because he was rich and famous and i am not sad one bit, because if i was to die he would not know and probably not care.

How horrifically cold-hearted!

"The Jackson" was a talented entertainer who made MILLIONS OF CHILDREN HAPPY.

And there is no human on earth whose death should not be mourned. We are all children of this earth - as Jackson's song "Earth Song" shows in such a nice and accessible way.

The many many people who die without anyone mourning them were mourned by young Mr Jackson.

I think you two are definitely not at all nice people.

I started listening to this song due to thoughts of Jackson, but it then led to much more, as you can see below in the plan written out for a video I will try and make asap...

his truth is marching on"

they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps"

"i can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
his day is marching on"

{in this section... strikers, protestors, activists, everyone important, all of the heroes, all of the real soldiers of the common man}

in burnished rows of steel

as you deal with my contemners
so with you my grace shall deal

let the hero born of woman
crush the serpent with his heel
since god is marching on"

{show VERY visually the rise of the internet , the boom of ecommerce, the growth of heroes like google, and of course, very firmly, the way in which the internet smashes open the closed doors behind which they hide chinese brutality, middle eastern brutality, western brutality - everything from undercover reporters showing racist police, to roving reporters showing chinese butchery, iranian nazism, israeli evil - everything, the man who was randomly killed by protestor-cops in london, everything - it will run for the whole rest of it, and it's the full version, all about "christ" dying for man - it will show corrie, and gandhi, it will show hiroshima - all in the end phase - all of these martyrdoms will come to pass}

It is very shocking he is dead.

No offense buddy, He's dead now,why can't we just show some respect? If he did anything bad, he payed for it already.

**wolfafterurazz** · 06-29-2009, 10:54 AM

Media Posioning............Do people really believe whatever the media tells them to believe. Come on people don't be so Naive. Will he who is without sin cast the first stone.

**Knight13** · 06-29-2009, 04:43 PM

Sorry i did not say anything wrong, and i do not have to show any entertainer any respect, just because someone dies does not mean you have to start respecting them, all dying means is that they are dead.

And at least i am being honest when i say i am not sad that he died, if it was a friend or family member i would be sad but i am not going to be sad over a death of someone i do not know.

**Aadriyah** · 06-29-2009, 07:38 PM

I give respect to every person who died whether he is a nobody or someone famous. I doesn't matter to me. Every life taken has value. If a person cannot sympathize he could've just atleast keep his own comment inside him, never let it out.

**victoriaphee** · 06-29-2009, 10:55 PM

Despite all the controversies, no one could deny his contribution to the industry

**jabo** · 06-30-2009, 12:22 AM

well, that is sad, he is a great icon... anyways, I am kinda predicting that after a few years or so, this will be like that of Elvis or Tupac death mystery... some people would somewhat say that he is still alive like those two mentioned. anyways, any one got news on what kind of stuff was on his system? I didn't know that such test would take 6 to 8 weeks, or was it 4 to 6 weeks?

**Knight13** · 06-30-2009, 02:02 AM

That's not true every life does not have value, their are serial killers who goes around murdering people your telling me their life has value?

And this is a forum for people to give their opinions and if people only gave "popular opinions" then this would stop being a forum, just because my opinion is not a popular one it does not mean i should keep it to myself.
