Sad day, Michael Jackson, The "King Of Pop" passed away at 2:30 ish PST.
Yeah he was a freak and was accused of some sick stuff, but he was also one hell of an artist & performer.
I'll be mixing in a ton of Michael tonight at the club and I'm sure some of my fellow DJ's will be doing the same.

Not sure why it's a sad day, but RIP

Thriller..

Thriller..

Thriller..

He had a very interesting 50 years. (Good or Bad)

RIP

Watch that and wish you lived in the 80's

Even with all the controversy of his life, Michael Jackson was indeed the king of POP! I'm sure we're going to be flooded with media overload on this as well. I just want to listen to the music and reminisce of the music that made him great. I watched I'm sure one of many specials on MTV last night which played some of his videos, Thriller, Beat It, and lastly was this 1995 VMA performance,

probably the last one he did ever, and that's the way I'd like to remember him, RIP Michael !

RIP Michael

I cant even imagine all of the stress that he was under with bankruptcy, losing his nertherlands ranch, the accusations of child molestation, trying to revive his career... no wonder he had a heart attack.

This is someone who made such a huge impact on music. He changed the game. Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, the list goes on and on but they can thank MJ for where they're at now. Music videos were never the same after Thriller, even though MTV killed the music video. His music is just timeless.

12 year old boys can now walk the streets safe at night...

Despite all the controversy, I think he was a legend. Had tickets to see him concerts in London next month, but to be honest - as excited as I was - there was always an underlying thought that it was really never going to happen...

..unless his death is fake and he's going to re-appear in the biggest publicity stunt of all time..

now that would jumpstart his career OR piss the world off ha

I have 3 young boys, so I guess I could care less how famous he was, or how good his music was. Why should talent overshadow the unthinkable acts he was accused of? Regardless of the accusations, I base my opinion on the facts. Words from his own mouth, video evidence of his house, and multiple accusers. Our court system is flawed, but I still respect it. BUT that doesnt mean I have to respect MJ. I would never wish death upon him, but Im certainly not going to celebrate his life.

I respect all of your opinions. I hope you can respect mine.

Thriller..

one of the best albums ever. ever.

Seriously, probably the absolute best album ever.

i don't believe as many celebrities commented recently he was a molester..he was extorted..by trailer trash no less. but still...i love the music he produced..and how can u not want to dance to some of those tunes!

Well, innocent until proven guilty... and he was never proven guilty. It's bad that a man of his stature was ever cornered into a position where people would assume he's a child-molester, though.

Not sure about how he was as a father, but the whole dangling-baby-from-balcony was incredibly stupid. The way he dressed his kids in masks in public probably didn't help them. And that he was really just a big kid - never really a grown adult - probably didn't serve his children all that well as their authority figures most likely came from hired help.

But I won't argue what your opinion of him is as that's a right as much as one's innocence in the court system. I can, though, separate the talent's works from his personal life - I could never respect a person like Cat Stevens [wishing death on Salmon Rushdie, but I enjoy his music. Or some rappers who've been drug dealers or gang-bangers before getting into music.

Wow. Just read that the first accuser is confessing his father made him lie. Some fucked up people in this world. :(

Wow that is fudged up. Some people are to lazy to be successful and bring others down to there level. To escape being poor they destroyed a superstar What a piece of sht family i hope they burn in hell.

So guess what is returning to Disneyland?.....Captain EO (Feb 2010). Say what you will about MJ but I can't wait to see that show again.

Heh never saw this thread before.

I was the last one to see him perform (closed rehearsal at Staples) anyone want to shake my hand? Hahaha

I was at the funeral too. Anyone want one of my leftover programs?

Charles, your job kicks ass

Eh...it's cool most of the time.

Sometimes I have to deal with ghey fans like Royale. ;)

I wonder how my life would have been different if he kicked the bucket at Staples. I was working solo the night before. I would have been on Oprah's couch and all.
