Just watch the MEDIA ASSHOLES KISS HIS ASS NOW!!!

They treated MJ very very badly in the press, now he is dead they will act like GOD died.

Still cannot believe Michael is dead, he was the last true MEGASTAR the earth has known.

I hope he'll gets his rest now...

So fucking true. MTV is playing his videos now when they haven't supported the man in YEARS! He fucking made MTV what it is single handidly and they treated him like SHIT.

R.I.P. Mike! :-(((((((((((((((((

goddamn, MTV just showed how far music has fallen

they went from showing Bad to a commercial about The Jonas Brothers 3D Extended Movie experience


Atleast it was music related and not a Real World promo.

his last album was like 20 years ago and was mediocre... let's not get carried away.. music has been surviving just fine.

2001 was like 20 years ago? Lol I hope your not majoring in math:lol


And man this just goes to show how the media is only concerned about their ratings :lol they ruin someone but the second they die they'll milk it shitless for the ratings


And wow, right now we really have no mega-stars. Elvis, Beatles, Jackson, and no we have no one. Shit....

it's sad that it took MJ dying for MTV to actually play videos
So true. So sad.

All so fucking surreal. What a tragic life.

RIP MJ

That's what I was getting at. When he was alive and well, none of the press gave a fuck. The only time his name came up was for child molestation allegations, mental illness, skin bleaching and to discuss how much of a failure his last outing was. Now some people give a shit on the media. People die everyday, and while I feel for most, Michael Jackson was a legend that comes once in a lifetime. The list is endless, when you think of how many people he has influenced. I just hope people let him die with some dignity and respect.

Not last, there's still madonna
 
Fox News just reported that they and various other news sites have been getting tons of fake "celebrity death" emails. So the Jeff Goldblum and Harrison Ford rumors are most certainly fake.
 
Being a child from the 80's, it was interesting to see Jackson go from being one of the greatest pop stars of all time and watch him gradually fall from grace. I remember seeing Captain Eo and being blown away by it's 3d (the only time where 3d has impressed me), and one of my earliest memories was being scare to death of the Thriller video when I was 2. Despite how weird things got with him towards the end, I'm saddened to see him go.

MSNBC saying he left the remaining Beatles catalog in his possession to Paul McCartney in a will written in January.

Respect +1000. I'm curious as to what this will says and what will happen to the O2 concerts
 
I can't stop posting my sadness. This is the worst news I've heard for years.

It's so silly too, with the real problems happening all over the world.

I'll have to love Justin Timberlake that much more now.

I hope they release MJs stuff on Blu-ray. DVD won't do him justice. I need to go out and get Off The Wall, I already have Thriller.
 
I'll listen to some of his music tonight in remembrance.

The industry is different now, so different, that we simply CAN'T see another MJ again in our life. There will never be another musical event like MJ performing.

RIP MJ.
