Who Cried When Michael Jackson Died?

I did and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I was getting ready for my summer vacation packing for a flight when the news broke (it was about 4 am my time). I was in shock at first but didn't react much and just kept watching the news on BBC as it happened. But on the plane ride I started remembering the childhood memories that were attached to his songs and how they reminded me of those times making me realize how I grew up with his music (I'm like that, very nostalgic, I'm 24). I shed a tear or two but nowhere near sobbing or anything like that.

I'll also cry when Phil Collins dies (which I hope is a long long long time away) for the same reason though maybe even more because I truly grew up with his music. God bless both him and MJ and R.I.P. MJ.

P.S. Trolls need to shut up.

No,not really...I wasn't even sad about it,and I like his music.

As a artist, he was brilliant but I didnt like him as a person.

I didn't care at all

I liked his music and all, but I still don't see how someone dying is such a big deal.

Didn't care... still don't

For me like I said it was more the childhood memories and you longing to go back, it reminded me of how many things I miss from those days and that's where most of the sadness stemmed from.

At the risk of sounding heartless and cold: So what? The guy was alive for 19 more years after the 80's and it still didn't make your childhood come back. :|

It didn't sound cold at all but at the same time I think you missed the point. It's not him, it's the fact that you're reminded of how those good times will never come back. His music made those good times even better. During that moment in the plane I painfully felt sad about how you can never go back which led me to shed a tear and then you move on and look forward to the future. Like I said I didn't moarn or anything like that. And life goes on.

I said "no wai" and went on with life.

Didn't really care

Nope. Been many years since I've cried.

I didn't cry, but I was out and about when I heard the news, so I wasn't really in the mood for partying anymore :P

I did...

Not immediately when I heard it, but I was in denial. I didn't acknowledge he was actually dead until his memorial, then I cried like a baby for like 3 hours.

I didn't cry when Kurt Cobain died and I like Nirvana 2356x more than MJ's ...

eh i didnt really cryed when mj died, i respect mj as a musician but as a person not really so much.

I did not care at all.

I didn't know the man or was a huge fan of his music, so no, I did not cry. I was far more saddened by Billy Mays death which happened around the same time.

As a artist, he was brilliant but I didnt like him as a person.

I was on Wow, Raiding Naxx when i heard about it, I just thought "any who cries over this has obviously been missed out by natural selection"

Nope. I know how important he is to music in general, but I never cared for his work.

why would I cry? but he was an amazing artist I was a fan though

Why would I cry when someone I don't even know died :orawsavon

Nope. Didn't care and still don't.

I did not cry when MJ died. It was big news and then for months that was all you heard about in the media, they kinda desensitized it.

Honestly, yeah I did. I was first in shock and disbelief, but it hit me later that night. He was a great musician.

Nope. I dont cry often.

When watching that memorial on TV I was really close, I had to stop myself from crying.

He was an amazing person and we practically put him through hell, it was tragic his life was ruined by us and he died so young etc.

I wasn't upset about the fact I wont get to hear any new amazing music or see him perform etc.

nah. i was too busy playing xbox with my friend.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Why would I cry when someone I don't even know died :oGuyper

I didn't cry, but I did feel sad. I always feel sad when I hear of somebodies death. But at the end of the day I accept it as just the way things are.

no, i didnt really care. what did really annoy me was how some people that hated him laughed at it saying stuff like "yay MJ died!!"..thats just disgusting..unless youre talking about hitler u should never be happy when a person dies..no matter how much u hated that personilovemydog1

that annoys me as well as much as i dont like michael jackson i never talk bad about him being dead. i saw one dude wearing a shirt saying "mj is finally gone on the front and then kids can finally be safe on the back" which seems beyond rude. even if paris hilton somehow died i would still offer my condolences.

Not to sound trollish or anything...but i laughed...

Who died whenMichael Jackson cried is a better question! On a serious not, no, people die everyday. I don't have enough tears for everyone.

Edit: Double when

:(:(:cry::cry:
