    Wasn't it just a while ago that reporters were taking turns to rip him apart?
    Now that he's dead, they are going to be gushing about how iconic and great he was.

    RIP, Michael Jackson.

    I remember our old house, the wooden floor is normally covered in removable smooth PVC(?) layers, making it all slippery when wet ... or when poured with talcum powder to slide around. Yeah, had loads of fun being a kid during me childhood years.

    Those growing up in the 70s and 80s might probably have worn socks and tried to walk backwards on them slick floors to the beat of Bille Jean...

    Great memories. :)

    Just saw on tv so many fans mourning and crying. Why not buy more his CD's so he would not have gone into financial problem? Too late now. RIP MJ. :(

    King of Pop will be along the lines with Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Lennon, Hendrix…

    ..not really a fan of Michael, myself, but i can understand his legendary musical significance...Similar to Elvis' death, but Elvis died a bit younger than Michael..

    Sorry, it wasn't a result of a heart attack (as i mentioned earlier) but of a cardiac arrest (2 different cases)..

    Some comments:

    Ambulance and paramedics tried to resuscitate him during their trip from his mansion to the hospital. But he was declared dead on arrival.

    The doctors tried, again, to resuscitate him over an hour after he arrived @ the hospital to no avail. He was pronounced dead @ 2:26pm

    Michael was actually still practicing @ the Staples Center last night for his upcoming world tour.

    Interestingly, he died @ the age of 50 just as he is about to go on a 50-city concert tour.

    Prophetic or not, another author Stacy Brown who wrote a book abt him, predicted that Michael will be dead in 10 yrs.

    ..Michael will now be moonwalking in heaven..:cool:

    *A reminder for us all to live life to the fullest, love our family, friends and to keep enjoying baddy because life is short and we are not going to live on this earth forever...
    ..i heard on the news, the mansion/estate that he was living for a while, until his death, cost him a whopping US$100,000/month to rent..:eek:..And I would think he has more stress than just financial..

    George was thinking..

    ..if Michael was a convert of Judaism, he'd be buried in Israel.
    ..if Michael was a convert of Buddhism & Hinduism, he'd be buried in India.
    ..if Michael was a Mormon, he'd be buried in Utah, USA.
    ..if Michael was a Christian, he'd be buried in Eastern Mediterranean or Armenia or Israel or stay in the U.S.
    ..now, if Michael was an atheist, where would he be buried, George??..:confused:;)

    hes a great entertainer. take the good and remove the bad stuff.

    not easy to be emulated interms of his concert performance. Those who didn't go to his concert regret it. ;)

    The 1980s and early 1990s are the best days. ;) Moonwalk is cool... beat it.. ;)
