Blimey. Not often I'm speechless.

come of a bit of a shock !

So, are we going to see the same kind of hysterical mass mourning in the streets as we witnessed after Diana's death?

[scrippo]

The man was a legend. My hope is the mourning won't go over the top, but I suspect as everything MJ did during his life was over the top, this will be no exception.

My childhood hero. I had all his tapes as a kid (still have all his stuff now) and he was permanently glued to the headphones on my walkman (man I'm showing my age!) But a true case of the bigger you are, the harder you fall.

True Legend. RIP Michael.

I was well gutted to hear this I really liked his music and I cant believe he was only 50

I love the way that fans can see past all the guy's quite obvious social, behavioural, psychological & sexual issues. I wonder if Gary Glitter's fans do the same?


Had he not been a wealthy musician, he would have been labelled a social pariah & lynched.


Jacko was once a talented musician & singer & I loved his early stuff. It was sad that he had no grip on reality, but I won't miss him & I am dreading the media & fan frenzy that is currently erupting.

I'm a fan, and I recognise he had serious issues, but I think different people have different perceptions of what his issues really were.

I was shocked as after the dj at our prom played one of his song he broke the news to us we didnt know whether he was telling the thruth or not but im generally shocked at it.

R.I.P MJ

I agree with Juju!

R.I.P Jacko!
The spookiest thing is, I had my school prom last night. And at about 11pm we were all dancing to Thriller by Jackson.
Very very strange...

RIP MJ...
