“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80′s. To this day, the music we created together on “Off The Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad” is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.” Quincy Jones

BTW my favor track of all times ” the girl is mine” classic baby!
Echoing the sentiments of so many this sad evening. Michael is an icon…I adored him as a child..he made me LOVE MUSIC and want to perform and create. He was a handsome , talented black man that died a lonely, tormented adult. There were things speculated, he lived the latter part of his adult life shamed, and humiliated by press/celebrities but his spirit was a magnet….we love you Michael….
forever missed….
NO ONE can replace such talent and artistry MJ had. Shocked, Upset and Feeling of Emptiness…
(exhale) why???
R.I.P KING OF POP
LOVE U MJ….. U WILL BE MISSED….KING OF POP FOREVER UR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON…
Michael you are an ICON…the true G.O.A.T. My prayers and heart is with your family.Love you for bringing music into my life! My favorite video…Remember the Time! RIP MICHAEL JACKSON……………………..
aaaah man?!!! What A loss!!!!!?
The man raised the bar to a level that remains untouched! And for me, …stays untouched…!
Love your music!!! Played it for hours and i’ll play it for MANY more hours to come!!!!
* * * REST IN PEACE “King Of Pop” * * *
Lily Allen captures my thoughts. That’s what i thought when i heard.
very sad day in music.. Michael Jackson will always be the greatest entertainer/artist in my eyes.. R.I.P.
Je n’arrive pas à y croire. J’ai l’impression de faire un mauvais rêve. Quelqu’un va me pincer et je vais me réveiller… C’est une blague en fait, hein, dites moi que c’est une blague…
WHERE DO I BEGIN (THIS HITS SO CLOSE TO HOME), SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY & ALL CONTINENTS ACROSS THE WORLD. LAST NITE I LISTENED TO MICHAEL AS A YOUTH, LISTENING TO HIS VOCALS WHEN HE WAS WITH THE JACKSON 5, THERE GOES A CHILD WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS WHO SUNG SO PASSIONATELY! A NATURAL BORN TALENT THAT HAS TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES, THOUGH I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS, MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO THE JACKSON FAMILY, MICHAEL YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED! R.I.P.
HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING!!!
This man molested children. Good riddance.
i am soooo shocked! HURT! and DEVASTATED. I have no words. I thank you for all your inspiration and LOVE you spread around the world!. RIP MJ.
I cannot believe you people are acting so “hurt” by this. Yeah MJ put out some hits but he also did a lot of questionable stuff. All this crazy talk I’m hearing makes me wonder how people can so easily brush aside the seriousness of his actions. Nobody should celebrate the life of a child molester regardless what hit song he put out.
I guess if you are a famous pop star, people really are willing to overlook the fact that you like to fondle children…
Regardless of this man’s past…..MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!
Whether legally or illegally, he TOUCHED us all.
@ Rocko – U was dead wrong for that! I’m not even gonna laugh at that, no matter how bad I wanna.
Quick Story…….My daughter was saying how ne-yo and chris “beat a bitch up” brown are the best dancers….baby do you know i let her watch thriller and beat it and some other Michael videos and she was in awe…..mouth open and errthing! TRULY AN ICON!
It’s always a shame when a white woman dies.
I have been taking his death hard! God, thank you for allowing us the honor to be graced with this wonderful man for the short time he was here on this earth. Now he is with you! Welcome him back with open arms.
I don’t think they allow child molesters in heaven.
/just sayin’
The world has lost a GREAT in human form! his Music will be with us Forever… I love MJ whole heartedly. I wish the media would stop honing in on his personal issues and get to the fact that his work ethic, love and Music touched and changed lives. He truly was GOD sent!
Now to be ignorant(pardon Me): Fuck Gay ass ( Perez hilton ) He is one dick head(no homo)… he’s the reason Prop 8 in Cali exist… because we dont want fags to have rights… your issues arent important… to no one.. not Bush nor Obama…
NOT GUILTY WAS THE VERDICT ON THE MOLESTATION CASE!!!
^^ He settled for millions with his accusers out of court. Get your facts right.
DRAMAZ AND DIGGS…U GUYS ARE THE FUCKING WORSE I HATE U AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT ABOUT U ASSHOLES……To my Dear mike…we are all different in ways that are indescribable. U were such an amazing person…All u wanted was love. The last years of ur life was depressing and people dont see we all make mistakes regardless of what u did…i too do things im not suppose to do and if we had a video tape of everyones action individually, we would see people doing things their not suppose to do. We are All Humane. and i never held anything against u. Man in the mirror is my fav…i cry when i hear it. Even though u was a star, this loss feels so close to home. I love u Michael and i understood You. :’(
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we all are someday gonna meet our maker and right now I think that GOD is the only one who can judge ANYONE’S past!
Just a few facts about one of the child molestation cases:
**13 yr old Jordan Chandler told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed and confirmed description of the singer’s genitals.[85]
**On January 1, 1994, Jackson settled with the Chandler family and their legal team out of court, in a civil lawsuit for $22 million. After the settlement Jordan Chandler refused to continue with Police criminal proceedings. Jackson was never charged, and the state closed its criminal investigation, citing lack of evidence
Not trying to rain on your mourning parade people, but I refuse to stand by quietly while a pedophile is praised and celebrated in death.
He did admit on TV to sleeping in bed with the underage boys
Michael was in a genre of his own. He is the only artist that brought together people from all walks of life through his music. From the “hardest thugs” to our young children, we all loved Michael. Often imitated but NEVER duplicated, Michael will live on forever through his music and in our hearts. SING ON MICHAEL. RIP
wow but really whats the point of coming on this post just to hate on the greatest to ever do it?? SHAME ON Drama and Dick your lives must be empty let us mourn and go back to your sad bitter lives FUCK YOU
HEY DRAMAZ, U 4GOT TO MENTION THAT JORDAN CHANDLER’S DAD, EVAN CHANDLER, WAS BEHIND IN HIS CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $68,400.00 AT THE TIME OF THE ALLEGATIONS, JUST THE FACTS!
*inhales*
OHMIGOOOODOHMIGOOOOOOODDDD MIICHAEEEELLLL I LOOOOOOOVE YOOOOUOUUU OHMIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OD
/fart
//gasp
i need attention, apparently.
Missy, I suppose the kid giving an accurately detailed account of MJ’s genital area was made up huh?
I think the boys parents are just as guilty as MJ.. The parents allowed MJ to sleep in the boys bed with him at their own home. The parents sat by and allowed it to happen- true.
I wonder if now there will be some epic revelations about his strangeness. I mean more than was already known or than his creepy garage sale showed.
RIP M.J.
I can’t comment on any molestation allegations becuase i don’t know if they’re true or not. However, I do know with absolute certainty and truth that Mike’s presence on this earth has truly impacted an entire generation and will be a major benchmark in the history of the world. We all have the individual right to remember him however we wish, but its blatanly obvious that in the overall scheme of things the good he has done will far out weigh and surpass the negative. RIP Michael.
there will always be haters to try nto bring you down when you are at the top. and there are haters that will kick u when you fall down. MJ was weird and the same as all of us. Nobody but MJ and the lil kids know if he did or didnt do. Frankly I dont think dude even thought about sex like that. In his mind he was child like and i don’t know of too many children that wasnt sexually abused to think about sex so its whatever but everyone is entitlerd top there own opinion
Dramaz… your an Idiot …. MJ is timeless… he didnt touch no little boys…
He had leeches … who just wanted a payday! that is all it was… Leeches! I got leeches and Im broke… could you imagine being MJ…
Something i propose: your so certain he’s a pedophile… well what if he wasnt and people were just trying to get money outta him! … the boys dad was cool as a fan… all he wanted was the money which he got! He really tried to heal the world and people didnt believe!
Its just like Jesus… when someone is so great they try to bring you down! years from now… people will be missing and loving MJ!!! RIP the KING OF POP… a huge piece of Music Died last night
