Yeah, it is really hard to believe. And it was very unexpected...he was still young...as people said...not yet...we didn't expect him to die yet.
There won't be another musician as good as him...ever. None of these musicians today won't never be as big, popular, or timeless as he was. Everyone liked his music or had sang it sometime. He will never be forgotten.
Yeah, kids don't understand...so insensitive..they need to keep their comments to themselves. They would be just as upset if someone acted insensitive to one of their stars dying.

This is so sad
. When I heard about it on the news is was shocked and I still am. All the radio stations in Adelaide are playing all of Michael Jackson's songs. It's so sad that his kids never got to watch him perform live on stage .

I am sooo gutted this morning.
Last night, I got a phonecall from my sister saying 'Did you know Michael Jackson has died?' and I honestly shouted 'WHAT?!', and I then began to shake & nearly cry, seriously. Then obviously I turned over to the news and it was all over that. At this time it was unconfirmed, but really, it was probably 95% obvious that it was true. My TV was on the news until about 1am...and it's back on now.
What I would like you all to think about is all the [i would swear - but i can't] crap he has been through in the past, since around 1993, the paedophile allegations, and it ran on through to...what, 2005? And now, just a measly 4 years later...before his big comeback, this happens. It's so unreal, it's like...so hard to believe, I can't even digest this just now, it's like I'm finding it hard to breathe, I just cannot get it into my head that the guy is actually dead.
He had great music, and was a global icon, he was just an amazing man, and I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly did not believe any of those allegations, he let those families use his home, when they were 'in a time of need', and they just turned their back on him to get some of his money. Well I really hope that they feel really guilty this morning.
I also feel sorry for his family, but for Jermaine the most, for having to come out and make the announcement of his death whilst all his fans are pouring their hearts out, he had to do it with as little emotion as possible. I could probably write a big novel about this, but I'm going to stop here.
But please, if you didn't like him, I would still like it if you payed your respects.
Also Jeremiah, I have stickied this.
- Mike

He was the third Elvis we have lost.
Really.The second one was John Lennon.
Now we lost him. The world didn't deserve Michael anymore. Everywhere there were rumours about him being a pedophile and such hateful crap that people believed.
He's in a better place now.
I'm sorry.

I am still waiting for reports to say he is not dead but it wont happened. Seriously I am mad because i never got to meet him. I went to watch the xfactor auditions today and 80% of the auditionees were singing his song seriously. Then hours later he is dead wtf. What is going on. I am sorry to say that us british and the media put so much pressure on him to do these concert dates 50 for crying out loud, flipping lady gaga couldnt do 50 dates let alone Michael Jackson seriously. Then we have the media saying he cant do it. All of this affecting him making him work his boneeeeeeessssss to make these performances perfect. he suffered cardiac arrest simply because he was overworked and he was stressed. This man has been through a lot and a lot has happened to him in many years. He has had so man sick people enter his life trying to sue him and accuse him of things he had never done. Just a couple of months ago, the guy who directed thriller the video try to sue him after 25 YEARS all those years he had the chance but no he waited for the time Michael Jackson to regain what he had lost. Just imagine. I believe in Karma ... What goes around comes around no matter what, you cant hide from karma. I hope those people would realise the affect they had on this man's health and his well being.
Michael Jackson is gone but i am telling you he will never ever be forgotten no matter what. I werent born when he was doing thriller and bad and off the wall, but his music was passed to me and i will pass it onto my children.
Michael Joseph Jackson Born 29th August 1958 - Died 25th June 2009. Rest In Peace!

I can't believe how many (famous) people died yesterday. Yasmine, someone from belgium but famous, died yesterday. she committed suicide but still tragic. she was only 37 years old and was feeling depressed because her failed mariage (was married to a woman), that happend in april and BAM 3 months later she's gone. I kinda grew up seeing her on TV, she's even been to my school. And then Farrah Fawcett died (knew she was sick and dying but still) and then this morning it was all over the news that MJ died.
it feels weird how easily people can die, compared to all the trouble some people have to go through to be born into this world.
it's at times like these that we realise that noone will live forever, but at least the memory of them will.

He's the headlines here! I'm sad that another famous person dies. A while ago, when I was on my way to school I was listening to the news and all I heard was Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital. When I came home, I browsed the net and I saw: Michael Dead at 50 and I was like uhhh? I can't believe it!
R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

I'm honestly waiting for someoneto break the news that this is all a hoax. I can't believe. It sounds so odd. :|
Re: Michael Jackson- Dead at 50! (CONFIRMED) - Munsta - 26-06-2009 03:55 PM
I know what you mean [removed]. He's been so popular for a long time, and now for it to just break suddenly and out of the blue, you just can't believe it. I'm still a bit 'wtf...he cannot be dead', but I'm coming to accept the fact that he has now passed on. It's just you see clips of him singing & dancing, and you can't help but think 'How on earth did that die?', and because he's such a superstar, you expect him to be around forever - like he's immortal - but now, it's obvious that that's not the case.
On the other side of things, I've been getting texts all day with Michael Jackson jokes, you can't help but laugh, but it's really tragic.
