Damn...
I'm sure lots of people are gonna miss him.
The guy was such an icon.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
But healthy enough for a comeback tour? :?No offense, but so be it. The world will give rise to another singer whose sound will become stereotypical of a decade thirty seconds before it is even conceived. It's sad to see another human bite the big one but let's face facts: he was seriously ill in the run up to his eventual demise.

Look at his life over the past 20 some years.
It's been terrible, first his skin burns off, then he gets plastic surgery to make him look completely different than he ever did, then he gets made fun of obsessively for it, then he goes through those child cases, then he gets made fun of for it some more, then he buys a theme park and doesn't use it that much and eventually sells it, then South Park and Eminem and everyone else and their mom ceaselessly make fun of him for his nose and his child charges.
If anything, what a rotten life. The way I see it, at least now he's free of all that.
What? Look:

Yeah, they're putting little recaps of his career on there. That was years ago.http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/michael.jackson/index.html Otherwise, its false advertising.CoreyNT
Not false advertising... Mod edited the title... He is dead and so is the topic creator.

Really? The thread's growing way too fast, so I dropped it around page 10. :P
Is it confirmed, then?

Well, the BBC say it's confirmed and that's good enough for me :PWhy do people make fun of him when he's alive, but the minute he dies, its' "Oh, dang, now I'm all of a sudden such a big Michael Jackson fan and I'm so sad to see him go"?
That doesn't make any sense to me.
You hate him while he's alive, and now you love him once he's dead?

The stress from all the crap in his life probably killed him.
Yeah, but now the audience will go 'oooooooooh' in response >_>I wonder if movies and shows will continue to make fun of Micheal Jackson from now on.

It's called respect. You don't have to act like you're a fan, but you can have the decency to show respect.Why do people make fun of him when he's alive, but the minute he dies, its' "Oh, dang, now I'm all of a sudden such a big Michael Jackson fan and I'm so sad to see him go"?

Wow, it's still stunning despite his steep decline the past decade in a half. Growing up a huge Jackson fan, and nearly every kid in the 80's was, this has the feel of what it must have felt like for my parents when Elvis died. Sad, and with all his money problems, I hope his children will be ok. btaylor2404Yeah I really feel for his kids.

You assume that EVERYONE makes fun of him and that people are not huge fans of him. Maybe people ummm actually liked him?Why do people make fun of him when he's alive, but the minute he dies, its' "Oh, dang, now I'm all of a sudden such a big Michael Jackson fan and I'm so sad to see him go"?

Its strange that he stayed in the United States, after the past few years they treat him like dirt.. When he could have went over to Europe where he is basically idolized over there compared to here now.CNN still has not confirmed.[QUOTE="remmbermytitans"][QUOTE="LikeHaterade"]

You might actually want to read the report, specifically the second sentence:
"CNN has not confirmed his death."

Why is that a problem; I've seen users wish death on many people -- why is this situation any different? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if someone were to say I'm glad Hitler committed suicide in a ... let's say for example a WW2 topic, would he get moderated? Or in a thread about some police officer beating an unarmed man, and someone wishes him dead as well, that doesn't warrant moderation?Report and ignore them I say... or they can say those things and we'll say bye. A few have already crossed too far past the line in this...
I may not have liked him as a person, but you can't deny his influence on music, and it's still sad for his life to just end like that.
Oh, and people... It's Michael, not Micheal. Please get it right.

Why can't someone have their own view that someone who does harm on another individual should perish.
And why does spelling on his name matter, really?
