R.I.P King of Pop

[Pixx]

So Michael Jackson went to join Elvis Presley, Bernie Mac and all the other millionnaires on that big stage in the sky. Michael Jackson died today from Cardiac Arrest.

Jackson is the youngest son of Joseph and Katherine Jackson (who are miraculously still alive ). He began his career singing with his older brothers in the Jackson 5 at the age of 5 years old. The singer has since made a name for himself as a moonwalking, soloist.

In the 1980s Jackson's skin began to become pale, he was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus (in remission).

Over the years Jackson has been accused of child molestation in 2003, he won that case. He's been accused of bleaching his skin in the 1980s but Jackson has managed to raise above the the rumors.

Jackson was planning a come back later this year however, this was not to be. Jackson died at UCLA on the 25th of June, 2009 at the age of 50 from Cardiac Arrest. Left to cherish his memories are those who knew him best, his parents, his siblings and his three children.

He will also be missed by fans all over the world, young and old. Michael Jackson has become a legend, his memory and legacy will live on.

Rest in peace to the song writer, the dancer, the King of Pop.

50 how sad. RIP MJ.

I was reading a few months ago that a lot of his strange behavior was due to his condition, probably those you mentioned. Like his skin getting pale etc. It's a shame he didn't just come out and so so instead of making everyone think he was even more weird then he was.

I am watching the news now & his tour manager said it was due to his perfection! he was in top shape! So it was a mystery,they are waiting on his autopsy!

[Tina ☺]

I actually got the chills when I heard the news, especially on top of hearing about Farrah Fawecett's death just this morning. I grew up with them both and it feels like the end of an era to me. *sigh*

[Pixx]

Yeah...this was just a mess...so sudden wow, that shocked the hell outta me

[holleyberry]

Good Bye Michael. Thanks for all the great music.

[Sawyer]

*sigh* And you know what the sad part is? My generation is going to remember him as a skin bleach-dying, weird, child molester. *sigh* (I don't think of him that way) I just now found out today that he was in the Jackson 5.

[Sarie]

Agreed with Sawyer.

I was pretty sad yesterday, I thought his music was pretty good, and it is always a shame to see a life gone. I was texting a freind, and I was very disappointed in what he said about it. "Well, he should've been in jail anyways."

That is just mean, when MJ is dead, and he thinks its okay?!?!

[Sawyer]

Yeah, that is so sad. All the jokes at my school go something like this:
Blah,blah,blah
I'll shove you in a closet with MJ!

[Sarie]

"That's what she said"

Thats what would happen if our schools met.

[Sawyer]

I think we go to the same school, Sarie.

When i saw this thread I had to read it right away...I have heard that poor MJ has died...very sad really. i was surprised when i told some of my firends they said back to me, "Well good." or something similer to that....at least we have hearts

[Pixx]

No offense or nothing Haily but your friends totally sucked. OMG I mean, I was pretty sure that he was a bit on the crazy side but come on! The guy was a legend, a living freaking legend! I would have loved to meet him.

I'm glad in a way that he's dead. I mean, quite a few of his interviews made me emotional, like when he talked about growing up and how horrible that was. At least he won't be in any more pain, no more bad reviews and stuff. He's been immortalized!!!

[§Haily§]

lol...i said that my friends were losers but they knew i was joking..yeah i was watching TV and then the news came on...i was too lazy to reach for the remote soooo....i watched the news and they said MJ has died and i was like OMG



Oh yeah...and when i was watching the news,mom came and sat down,she was getting teary cause of MJ's death.Aroura came in the room and saw that mom was crying and Aroura asked,"Mommy,what's wrong.Are you crying because that girl died?" I laughed so hard while my mom looked at her mouth open...i havn't seen mom in so much shock...and i dont think i have laughed so hard

mom said that when she was 10 years old,she wrote a letter to his fan club saying that she wanted to marry him...that also made me crack up

[Sawyer]

xD@Haily!
lol, I used to think he was a girl also...
I believe my mom still writes those letters to Vince Gill's fan club.
