Someone's about to make a ton of money. Do you know how much $$ will be generated from merchandising? Not to mention the fact that every radio station across the nation will be playing his music ($$), TV outlets will be playing his videos ($$$) for months to come-someone is about to make billions.

Be careful not to become the asset of another.

I'm sad.

RIP MIKE. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO SAY

Has this been confirmed because I'm not finding anything on CNN or People stating that he's dead. And until such time as I do, I refuse to believe it.

Wild Safari said...

There has been no official word of this. The hospital and his family have not reported anything for 3 hours. The LA Times and CNN just reported he is in a coma. I am going to stay on this story. I am very saddened by this story.

he ain't officially gone yet y'all,
but cardiac arrest is typically fatal.

I remember any home I would go into in the mid 80's black, white, asian, hispanic, european, you would see near the record player on the flo' a Thriller album. That somehow connected everyone...

Whatever. Unlike the tape that blatantly showed Kelly in action, I didn't see MJ molest anybody, so I'm not about to start bearing false witness based on what he's been accused and not convicted of. We're talking about an icon who unfortunately may have passed at only 50 yrs. of age due to some shit that probably could've been avoided if he hadn't messed his body up due to his issues.

Everyone already knows the dirt so why bring it up when the man is on his death bed and it's obvious that everyone is hurt by this news?

Bee Gee said...

Fuck.

quesha, that's just your opinion. "Where there's smoke there's fire" is one of the most overrated incorrect statements people use, with all due respect. A lotta times, people yell "Fire!" when they see smoke, but aint no fuckin fire. The bottom line is nobody knew shit and nobody was ever even close to knowin' shit about Mike. As criticized as he was, the only thing people ever had to go off of was their gut feeling based on how things appeared. I joked a lot that Mike and tha whole Jackson clan is actually from planet Mars, but the only court he was ever found guilty in is the court of public opinion <<-- keyword.

quesha said...

i will leave his character alone.

Anonymous said...

There will never be another Michael Jackson. Michael still holds the record of having produced the best selling album -- "Thriller" of all time. And now that Michael is gone, the album will sell even more. The days of blockbuster entertainers, like Michael, are gone forever. Rest in peace, Michael. Thank you for all of the joyful music and dancing you have given to us all of these years.

Malika said...

i never got to see him perform live. i remember waiting for his history album to drop because it came out on my 15th birthday. i called around to all of the record stores because i was scared it would sell out. i was pissed that no one else appreciated what a great album it was. whenever i felt bad, i would listen to his song "smile." i watched moonwalker daily when i was a kid. my parents taped motown 25 on the vcr and i used to watch his part over and over. i loved the pepsi commercial he did with alfonso ribero. this isn't real.

When I first saw michael it was 26 or 27 years ago , he was performig billie jean on some award show I thought he was a pretty woman, then I found ou he was a guy (which really made me feel relief) anyway I fell in love withhim and my mom would pretend he was on the phone and would tell me if I was a good girl she would call him for me!!!! Man, evey song brings a memory I love him and will miss him. RIP Michael you are in a better place!!!

Two Things from a Black man in Germany.
1) he started to get bad press when he was the number one artist on the pop and RnB charts and hadn`t made a new record in a minute.The powers that be started hating and so began his troubles.

2) The really sad thing about Michael is that he had so much wealth,so much fame,but was STILL one of the unhappiest people on the planet,Probably because of becoming famous at a young age,he had to grow up FAST,and growing up under Joe Jackson.

I initially pointed out Quesha's comments on MJ's reputation were unnecessary but so was that last attack on her. She said before that, she'd let it go so maybe we should also.

Anonymous said...

Joe Jackson was a tyrant, no doubt. But Michael had the talent—and NOBODY could have stopped that. He put an end to Joe's abuse when he finally told him, "Touch me again, and I'll never sing another note."

Thus it was not an accident that o'l Joe in Vegas seemed well out of loop this afternoon—apparently not having been informed right away that MJ was dead. Oh, well.

And to some of you who may never have heard it—find Michael's rendition of the Bill Withers' classic, "Ain't No Sunshine." I was just listening to it yesterday on my iPod. If you respect the power of a once-in-a-lifetime presence, that song (and many of his others) will leave you with chills. Why? Because you realize he was all of 12 years old when he recorded it.

It's been a pleasure, Mike. Thank you sincerely for sharing your many gifts with the rest of us.

Sleep on, Bro.

I'm completely saddened.

I was always waiting for that big MJJ comeback, when he would show the world again his greatness (even if he'd would've been 75, i still wouldn't copped that album). I think most people, no matter how cynical, were hoping for that. Damn.

So you saying he was murdered. can you provide more concrete facts? i personally don't doubt that. he had a lot of enablers from shady lawyers to accountants to maids to publicists to family members. what a coincidence that when he's getting ready for a big tour in Europe he suddenly dies.

and screw NBC for having those scare crow cached makeup panelists trying to crucifying him on acquitted charges that's so ambiguous you'd really have to be there to know the truth within hours of his death.

Completly agree with Bee Gee and as always brother I looked forward to your comments. I am an avid lurker here. As a black latino I grew up in Costa Rica and couldn't find much around that looked like me to look upon as a role model and there came Michael with his fro and all, and I was completely mesmerized by the way he united people through his ability to sing and dance and became a number 0ne fan. His gentil deameanor made me feel that I always wanted to protect him from the barracudas of the world. My favorite song is "Sweet little thing" among others. RIP Mike and may you finally find the peace within that you din't find amongst the living. Completely saddened!!!

antisocial said...

Well...I've been watching t.v. reports for the better part of the afternoon and I'm still in shock: the denial and utter disbelief I feel at Michael's passing is equal only to what I felt upon learning of Aaliyah's and Gerald's deaths. It's...just so hard to wrap one's mind around. I remember being in love with him when I was in 6th grade...I even had a picture of him dressed in yellow and white circa 1983[ladies...you know which one I'm talkin' about!lol] that I carried in my wallet...I thought he was so sexy and next to Prince, he has always been one of my all-time favorite male singers/entertainers. Regardless of how much his death is affecting people all over the country/world, I'm sure all of his troubles will most assuredely be drudged through the mud courtesy of the media and I'm disgusted at the fact that ET had the audacity to show a pic of him on the stretcher being wheeled into the hospital. I refuse to let the sensationalism upset me, though, and instead will focus on the man and the music. Michael was [and ALWAYS will be] a LEGENDARY ICON who definitely left his mark and there will NEVER be another one like him.

Another legend gone. The state that music is at with sales and performances, I believe we have reached the end of a great era. Rest In Peace.

I'm just...stunned. Michael Jackson has gone on to Glory. This is....I can't even put it into words.

Hearing Michael Jackson's music, along with the Jackson 5 just brings back so many memories of when I was growing up.

'Smooth Criminal' and 'Remember the Time' will always be my favorite MJ videos, and 'Lady in My Life' is still one of the best ballads out here. I keep forgetting to download 'Heartbreak Hotel' but it's going on my iPod tonight, right along with 'Let Me Show You the Way to Go'.

Michael Jackson, you are already missed. My God rest your soul and may you rest in peace.

I've been listening to the music of MJ and the Jackson 5 all evening, and I don't know how or why Kanye rants about being the "black Elvis". I don't see Kanye being that big. Elvis was Elvis, Kanye, but MJ was The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Kanye's talent will never be on the same level as MJ's. He can't dance or sing and most of his lyrics are corny. Good luck with that, Kanye.

@ 11:21

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that comment was inappropriate. People slay me with stuff like that...just like when Gerald died, folks talked mad shit about how it was because of his weight and how he should have layed off the fried chicken, blah blah blah and when the autopsy findings were released, those same ones had a whole lot of egg on their faces. Such comments are so unnecessary and although I know it'll never change, I honestly wish [some] people had the tact not to even go there.

Who gives a flying fluke about Beyonce?!!! Why must you stans always bring this hoe up in every post? Beyonce will be lucky if she is even mourned a fraction of how we're mourning MJ. Bottom line they just don't make them like that anymore.He is truly the last of a dying breed. Who else in in his caliber performance wise?

A piece of my childhood died today. I am so saddened. Why must it take the death of an ICON for MTV,BET,and all the other music channels to actually play good music? Now I'm only 23 but I remember the time when our music wasn't peppered with "nigga this,Bitch that". Why can't we all just go back in time before the gossip blogs,myspace,facebook,twitter, hell even 9/11? It's crazy to think that just a week ago we were clowning him about his kids and his demands for the concert comeback in Europe. Regardless of what our opinions personal are, there are three kids who lost the only parent they have ever known. A mother and father lost their son and we lost a man who we didn't know the importance of until his death. MJ if you're looking down may you rest in peace. Tell my Pepa I'm still mad about the bootleg Thriller jacket he got me that the zipper broke the next day.....

@ Bella

Unfortunately, yes...ET showed a close up pic of Michael laid out on the gotdamn stretcher, which had to have been taken as soon as he arrived at the hospital. I was so annoyed that I left the room and didn't even finish watching their so-called 'coverage' of his death and after this day, I will NEVER tune in to ET again. I have no comprehension as to why they would honestly think that people would want to see that, but please believe, if it had been Farrah's or some other yt, they would have shown a helluva lot more respect. smmfh

If anything, I hope these somber deaths sort of "wake" people up and appreciate what you have; especially loved ones [and good friends]. We're all worried about trivial things while we're losing Great people left and right!

R.I.P. Michael; you're having the peace you never got while alive. We will always love your music and will cherish it forever.

"Lady Of My Life" and "I Can't Help It" are my TWO favorite MJ songs. I also have on my mp3 player and regularly play "Let Me Show You The Way To Go" [Jackson 5]

"Mamma say/mamma saw/moo mah/moo sah!"

UGK said it best: "One day you're here baby/and then you're gone/ baby the next day you're gone"

Michael Jackson was phenominal! I know that he has some contraversial issues, how would we be if we grew up calling our fathers by their first names JOE!!! He never had a real childhood. Poor Michael. This man had more talent then most artists in the entire world.
He brought innovation to music and videos. No one could ever accomplish what has. He was simply incredible. New things aren't exciting anymore because Michael opened the door to unheard of creativity! No one will ever compare. Michael you will be sooooooooooooo sorely missed. I love you and I hope the good Lord finds a place in his heaven for you.
Rest in Peace my man!

Wow. Feelings going from sad to happy when I think about the music this man delivered.

May you FINALLY RIP Michael Jackson. It is almost as if your end was spoken into existence. I sure hate it.

Won't forget...CAN'T forget you.

Say what you want. At the end of the day, who can really compare to MJ in the world of entertainment?

Prayers to his entire family and those who love him.

I'm still in shock i just cant believe it.the only thing i can say is may he rest in peace and Something about a come back never happens and if you listen to his last interview about his come back its like he knew.HE SAID THIS IS IT,,,,I dont think there is a person that didnt love him. I pray for his family and I pray for JOE FUCKIN JACKSON that fucked all his kids up...because everything that his family went thur was because of his greedy Bull dog looking ass,I hope Mike is ok now because he was a very unhappy man in this life.and maybe he can b happy now.I will always love you Michael Jackson,,,My heart truly hurts..GOD BLESS

I can't do anything else but CRY. I am praying for the Jackson's family. REST IN PEACE - MJ. The greatest entertainer of ALL TIME - ALIVE and now laid to rest.

Today nomatter what negative people say, yesterday we have lost a legion and he was NEVER convicted for any child molestation charges and in my eyes the LAW over-rules when people say that he was guilty. I don't believe it, rest in peace MJ(finally).

I was about 8yrs old on the second tier of the Omni Arena in Atlanta,Ga looking down on a stage that was going accommodate Gladys Knight and the Pips and James Brown, and a lady name Moms Mabley had already amused and confused me, see I was only 8yrs old and just the fact that she had no teeth and dressed like she was on the way to put the grits on for breakfast, in front of all those people talking crazy, was enough for this 8yr old little girl to think Moms was the funniest lady in the world. Now, here comes the amazing part, 5 young boys from Gary Indiana, Jackie,Tito,Jermaine,Marlon and the boy that every group of girls argued about whose boyfriend he was and I quote; Ump you go with Marlon, No I go wit Michael, well Ump I go wit Jermaine then, and you go wit Tito...etc. get the picture, well I was getting ready to see my didn't know he was my boyfriend in person, MICHAEL JACKSON of the Jackson 5ive, whoaaaaa, can you hear the young girls in every shade of chocolate screaming their lungs out :), see yt folks didn't want to be bothered with us so much back then so we had the Jackson's, not for long, mostly to ourselves, but soon enough what was to become one of the greatest, funkiest, showmen that ever danced & entertained on planet earth would go global and give to charities from Africa to America and the rest is history, R.I.P., to the definition of why real music that will never die, TIMELESS, MJ

I was so shocked because he was just one of those people that seemed like he would out live all of us. To his children and his family my deepest and heartfelt condolences. And can I just say that PYT is forever and always my sh**..lol.

Wild Safari said...

^^^^^LOL! Before there was Tenderoni there was PYT!

@antisocial that picture disgusted me as well. I couldn't believe MSNBC aired it. They didn't shoot it and Keith Olberman asked the ET reporter how they got it and she hedged. MSNBC still shouldn't have shown it. It was disrespectful especially since Michael may have already been dead at that point. None of the news outlets here showed those nasty David Carradine photos and they wouldn't dare air a photo of Farrah stiff and blue. I'm angry over that.

P.S. I wish Diane Dimond would shut up. The Jackson family needs to sue her for her defamatory remarks.

Although I was not a Michael Jackson fan, I would be lying if I said there werent a few songs of his that became my grooves. I remember the Prince/MJ wars I used to have in school with my peers all in fun. I would keep a side eye out for him just to see what he would do next. He was the King of Pop and I must admit, I am saddened by this news. We have definately experienced a huge loss in the music world. There will never be another in this generation.

NOT ONLY WITH THE GREATEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD, BUT A HUMANITARIAN THAT CARED ABOUT POVERTY, RACISM, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. A BEAUTIFUL SOUL INDEED. I DIDN'T CARE WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE; THE SOUL OF THE MAN IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

Michael...Love you always.
May your soul find peace in the arms of the Everlasting.
You are and will continue to be missed.
<3 forever and always.

I have to say this. He has been working for the last 45/46 years. Not consecutively, but the man put in hours of dancing, singing, studio time, etc...as I'm told he was a perfectionist. Imagine spending that much of your life working, that hard.
I would like to make sense of it. But all I can hear is Michael singing...
"Could it be I've been away too long... Did I leave your mind when I was gone"..
that and "You got me working, working day in night.I'm so tired, tired.."
Maybe peace is where he is now. And he isn't working.

No disrespect to Michael, but I don't think he's really dead. He could very well have faked his death with all the legal and financial problems surrounding him, and now suddenly he's dead? I can't believe it. No, I refuse to believe it. I wanna see the body.
I'm sure I'll get roasted alive for saying this, but these are my honest thoughts on that.

Anonymous said...

^^ i don't want to believe it either, Baby Girl... but he's no longer of this world as you and i are. It is so surreal; i can't find the words or fully grasp the feeling of him being gone.

RIP Mike

You were the man Mike! I never get enough of hearing you or watching you perform. I watched you and your brothers when I was little and I still followed you when we all grew up. You were the best that has ever done it. May the Lord have mercy on your soul and also keep your remaining family. I'm sure that you can see all of this Mike! So I just want to say we all love you!
