The death of Michael Jackson is very sad. Full of energy and a great entertainer. I loved the Jacksons' when I was a youngster and had all their
pictures over my bedroom wall. Now Michael can be at peace and let's hope that people can admire the man for his talent, something that I doubt that I
shall ever see again in my lifetime.
Love Lindaxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
btw sorry if there is another thread that I have missed for this.

the same for me, Linda. when I was growing up, he was a rock icon. How tragic a story for such a
talented artist. May he RIP Kj.

People were gathering in Trafalgar Square yesterday outside the gallery and at the moment there are messages written across the front of the gallery wall for
Michael, there was also a candle vigil there last night. We were informed at work that it will be happening again tonight in the square. When I left work last
night at 9pm there were photographers and there was singing and dancing. I don't know how many more days that will be going on for though but at least we
know it's peaceful which makes a change from some of the demonstrations that we've had to deal with.
Love Lindaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

Hi Vicki - missed you girl!! How is your house coming along? I'll bet it's all decorated now and looking fabulous!!!
Thriller was just so fantastic - about the first album I'd ever bought where every song was terrific! And that video was ground breaking! MJ was the total package - dancer and singer and entertainer. I will always remember him. |

The memorial was very well-done and meaningful. I have been a fan of Michael's for a long time. He did not simply sing and dance to the music, he BECAME
the music. It moved through him. And that is how I remember him.
But you know what? The whole two hours of the memorial suddenly disappeared in meaning, once his daughter spoke. She said it all. Nothing else seemed to matter. The music. The dancing. All so minor, in comparison to how much his children loved him, and will miss him. I bow to them.

Hi Marie! We have been in the house a little over a year and are loving it!
Yes, "Thriller" was the bomb and "Off the Wall" before it. "Bad" as well. I was really glad that I had purchased the 25th anniversary release of "Thriller" on cd last year, to replace my old cassette that was worn out from the 80's. It was a package deal where you got a free dvd with several of his videos as well. A bittersweet possession now. I have also recently downloaded about 30 MJ/ Jackson 5 tunes to my ipod that I did not have. Funny.. I just had to drag out my three "vinyl" albums of the J-5 the other day to show my daughter how long her mom had been a fan. And watching the media now.... I just wish they would "leave him alone" as the song says. At least now..he does know eternal peace. Vicki |

I know what you mean about the media Vicki. But what those Doctors who gave him those drugs meant for surgery did - well it's horrible. The poor guy needed
help and someone helped him right into an early grave. I'm not sure much can be done about it - the rich will always be able to find someone who will get
them what they want.

Oh, I could not agree more, Marie! I surely am keeping up with the investigation end of things and yes, someone ( or some people ) should pay for what I think
is going to eventually come out. No question.
I am talking about the constant ET/Larry King type of Michael Jackson coverage where it is the same drama of insignificance, over and over and OVER again. I mean, how many times over the last two days have we seen the Pepsi commercial in 84' where his hair caught on fire ( from behind )?!?!? *rolls eyes* And we are now hearing of how Joe Jackson and Latoya are making $$$ from interviews they are giving... turns my stomach! I like getting my updates from AC 360. He gets to the facts more than any other source in my books. I love his style of reporting. I just keep playing Michael's music and remembering him that way. Not the jaded way that alot of news outlets want to. If you haven't already yet, you need to listen to his recording of "Smile". It is absolutely beautiful. |

Anderson Cooper is just about my favorite journalist now. But I do listen to NPR twice a day in the morning and on the way home. I like Morning Edition and All
Things Considered also. Thanklfully they have only done a couple of pieces on MJ and mostly about the over medication angle.
I have about 7 or 8 MJ songs on my Ipod. I've never gotten tired of his music! I'll add Smile to the list! |

And "Gone to Soon" is especially poignant and fabulous. Give that a listen if you haven't yet. Usher sang it at his memorial and I never
realized that Michael had recorded it until I found it on iTunes. What did you think of "Smile"?
Well, they are starting to raid doctor offices now... they must have enough toxicology results back to give them cause. I always said that while Dr. Murray was awfully fishy with his behavior, he was just too obivious to be the bad guy. However, we are finding out more about him now. We'll see. There are more than just him, I am sure. But he may be the "fall guy" when all of this is over. |

Michael's death like Elvis was a terrible tragedy. Sometimes these private doctors have too much
authority and influence over them . I was shocked when the news broke.... 50 is too young for such a talent to leave this world. I would love to know why Dr Murray was giving him that kind of medication (the name escapes me ). I agree with Vicki there must be more people involved in this situation.

I know Im really late but I was also very saddened by his death. I was by no means his biggest fan, but I do know how big his influence was in the history of
music and on so many other artist. He influence a whole generation. Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Britney Spears, Jay Z, Usher...they wouldve been nothing
without Michael Jackson and his legacy.
He was a true artist and it is truly a shame that his personal scandals overshadowed his amazing talent. He was a brilliant singer, and dancer. We have all heard his music before, regardless of your age. I remember when I was younger I couldnt even watch the Thriller video without getting scared. He revolutionized the idea of what music videos should be. He really was truly amazing, and he will be sorely missed. |
