Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)

I can't believe it. I really really can't believe it. Growing up in Hong Kong, I bought my FIRST english tape, and it was from Michael Jackson. Even people in REMOTE China, who do not speak any English know about him. To me, he was (and still is) the ultimate pop star. RIP Michael Jackson - the one who made pop culture what it is today.

It's so weird that they say "death comes in 3's" ... and ed mcmahon, farrah fawcett, and michael jackson all died within like 2 days of each other. =[
R.I.P. To all 3

He was a such a gifted performer..a music icon. He will be truly missed! RIP.

I was super shocked when I heard about this today.. 50 is relatively young in this day and age. There's so much speculation being thrown around right now, I can't imagine what his family is going through. I hope everyone backs off and lets them mourn their loss of a family member in private.

I am absolutely floored. I had the video game, watched his 3D show at Epcot Center in Disney World . . . I don't think any music artist could ever really achieve that level.

RIP.

So shocking and sad! I love love his music, and was planning to go to his concert.

I am watching NBC now, they made a special report in memory of Michael Jackson. I still can't believe it.

Rest in peace.. i truly want to thank him for the amazing music he has left us with today..
In our prayers, in my heart, in God's hands*

MJ will always be the greatest ever. I'm sorry that I never got a chance to see him perform live. I'm getting drunk and listening to his greatest hits tonight.

I teared up. While I believe the molestation allegations against Michael were true, it seems like he never had a chance at happiness in his life. So much genius & so much tragedy. God rest his soul.

For anybody who was a kid in the '70's two huge icons gone in one day-- Michael and Farrah.

I hate that they showed his body being loaded from the helicopter.
