im so shocked, he was such a legend

Sorry...but the man should have been in prison. Your omission of his predatory nature is shameful. This "man" preyed on young boys..tell the truth.

He was still a relatively young man! He sure didn't look like he was prone to cardiac problems. He was not overweight and he kept active. This doesn't make sense.

Farrah - Rest in Peace

Michael - Good Riddance

I wonder if they do the same thing to child molsters in the after life as they do in prison.......

All the children of the planet (including his own) are just a little bit safer now....

Regardless of his controversial personal life, this is no doubt a huge blow to the world of music, as a great man who created true harmony has been lost

Im saddened and shocked. I sit here at work completely numb with wet eyes, with a huge pain in my throat that my legend I grew up with..is gone. We bought the jacket, wore the glove, "tried" to moonwalk..lol., and most of all we were there for that amazing journey. Rest in Peace Michael. We love you. A sad day in the world for sure.

RIP Michael Jackson! No longer facing the slings and arrows of people who judge!

This is an absolute tradegy and we should respect the family and friends of Michael Jackson, no matter what your opinion of him may be.

To me, he was and always will be a legend of pop music - I will miss him greatly and im sure im not alone in that view.

Michael Jackson RIP

We may have lost you in body - but your spirit and life will live on in all our hearts (1)

Micheal Jackson is a legend, the best of all times. Every one has their short comings. SO no matter what we will always here the name Micheal Jackson, he has done so much - helping the people in Africa, India, bring joy by just listening to his music and much more.
He has gone to a better place away from all this hatred may God bless his soul.

The Moon walk will live forever!!!!! Cant Touch This

Totally shocked and heartbroken to hear of Michael's passing, the world will be a sadder place at his very premature loss.
Rest in peace Michael, I love you.

I'll always remember him from the Motown days and the eightys. I remember "Never Can Say Goodbye" was our senior prom's theme. Although his last ten years or so and his behavior were disturbing to me, nothing can take away his great contributions to music as a Jackson 5 member and his solo efforts. I hope that is how he is remembered.

Posted by: Wendy C | Jun 25, 2009 6:15:56 PM
I am saddened at such a great loss. When he was black he was an amazing artist. Condolences to his family and children. Truly an icon. Even if he was a pedi.

Posted by: dawn | Jun 25, 2009 6:25:45 PM
Man... some of you people need to learn to show some respect.

Posted by: P Fox | Jun 25, 2009 6:27:00 PM
What a fabulous talent, though plagued by demons. A bittersweet life. His father teased young Michael about his large nose, and it led to a life-long sickness make it smaller and smaller. And while he was at it, he had to get everything else done: eyes, cheeks, chin, etc. It could never be good enough.
The only entertainer in the world more famous is Paul McCartney, but McCartney's fairly normal disposition and personal life seem prosaic in comparison to Jackson's.
The title "Genius" is overused, but Jackson truly was one.

Born in 71, I used to dress up like him, where the one glove, beg my mother to buy his music and get me all the Michael Jackson anything on the market at the time. All those kids he ruined. Heartbreaking. I had only wished he had gone to prison to let the system take his soul. Sorry call him a legend or a star if you will but, I can't get over the horror and tragedy those kids went through. I really do hope he suffered and did not go peacefully. For those of you who "forget" those tragic moments, he is a scumbag. I am convinced he is paying for it now. :-)

Posted by: John | Jun 25, 2009 6:32:09 PM
As much as I see death every day. I can't help but say. I cried when I heard the news. Michael Jackson was an excellent entertainer and humanitarian. With the exception of Bill Gates, no one has given more of there own money to help children charities around the world. He was not only alright in my book, he will be missed.

Stunned is the word! I've been away from news and have only just found out. I had his posters on my wall when I was 13! Loved all his music, there wasn't 1 that I didn't like. RIP MJ.xxxx

A couple things I'll remember:

1) He was one of the most unique and fascinating dancers ever. Nobody else moved like him.

2) His eternal sense of humor. He let Weird Al have fun with his songs, and he appeared as himself as an alien in Men in Black 2. Prince would never do either.

RIP, MJ. You had a tough life, but until the sun goes nova, people will smile when they hear one of your songs start up on the radio, because your best music was both great and fun. Now you can get together with James Brown and make music not meant for the living.

Michael Jackson left a legacy of music, in which will never be lost. The king of pop lives on in our hearts

Even though he may or may not have done wrong he will greatly missed, he is a legend and his music will be played forever. May he have died with peace in his heart. You will never be forgotten.

I am really sick of the MJ jokes but, I got a good one....

What were Michael Jackson's last words?

Take me to Children's Hospital..

Off The Wall is one of my favorite records of all time-- Quincy couldn't have spun those arrangements any tighter, the production breathed (you can't say this of his later records), and the songwriting showcased his amazing singing skills. I always thought that Michael betrayed his talent later in life-- he never made a great record after Thriller. Once he ditched Quincy, he let all of the fame and fortune get to him. It's kind of sad.

Posted by: Jeff | Jun 25, 2009 7:49:31 PM
Michael, you moved people from multiple generations, you broke barriers and you inspired. You've puzzled us all with your strange ways yet you mesmerized us with your gifts. I was looking forward to hearing about how the tour went and hoping that somehow i'd see you live in concernt! YOu have shocked us once again by dying so young. Bless your soul and may you rest in peace.

Posted by: Jeremy | Jun 25, 2009 7:52:30 PM
Doubtless one of the icons of rock music. Often imitated, never duplicated.

And yet...the man had gravely serious psychological issues. I firmly believe Michael Jackson beat a child-molestation conviction only because the family of the boy was more twisted than he was (i.e., did they traffic their son for Jackson's $$$?).

We will surely miss Michael Jackson most especially with his music. He was able to give an inspiration and joy to a lot of people despite the bad issues about him. We all pray for the soul of Michael Jackson.

This piece of tish hadn't been relevant in music since Thriller. Great, he was a giant in the '80s. Perhaps the worst music decade of all time.
He was a child molester and a creep. He wasn't nearly the talent he's made out to be. He hated that he was black and slept with children.
He is/was scum. I'm glad he's gone. The children of the world are safer for it.
If I believed in the mythical place, I'd wish him to hell!!!

@Greg Kot... supremely written article, as usual. Kudos.
