RIP Michael Jackson

[Brandon Rhea]

Never the less you cannot pressume to know what I meant by it so kindly pick on some one else.

When they make what I feel are veiled negative comments, I will. :)

I think you're making an unfair assumption, Bac. Just my two cents though.

To be honest, I've NEVER heard Niner use 'Final Destination' before in any memorial thread. He usually says something much...well, nicer.

Rest in peace, Micheal Jackson. Jeez, everyone's so lazy and use acronyms for such an iconic person.

WTF? Srsly, STFU. NOC.

That's true, and there's a chance his comment was some kind of veiled insult. But if the veil is there then it's not quite thin enough for us to make assumptions, imo.

Of course, I'm not staff, so my opinion on the moderating of this thread doesn't matter a whole lot.

I listened to music occasionally, but it was in the car or at a store, or something. It is not like I have his music on my iPod or even a CD. But I do have some vinyl records of him that were given to me a while back. While the controversial things that happened with him in the past greatly affected his image, I still respect the man.

Damn right. Know your place, peasant. :CStern:

Yes, m'lord. :CCry2:

 

[Cailst]

Except perhaps on the radio, I think I probably listened to Weird Al's parodies "Eat it" and "I'm fat" more than I did to any of the originals.

Poor Michael.

To live the life of a star and be loved all around the world, only to have his life ruined by allegations that were withdrawn.

Rest in Peace.

One of his best IMO. Just awesome...

 

[Rev]

Was a big fan of him and his music, regardless of his life style.

Have to say from what I've read half the people in this thread have to get their sh!t straight. Just cause the guy was on trial for molesting a kid doesn't mean he did it, he was acquitted of the charges. I assume you'll retaliate with: "YEAH BECAUSE THE JURORS WERE FANS AND DIDN'T WANT HIM IN PRISON!!!" Yeah, or some family wanted to try and make an easily million off him. He was a performer and probably the best dancer in the world up until his death. Don't believe everything you read on the internet and in the papers or what you see on TV.

RIP.

Considering the mother of the boy tried a stunt like that before she went against him.

His albums are already climbing back to the #1 spots on iTunes, and in stores both in the U.S. and internationally. The same thing happened to Elvis, he will be richer when he is dead.

 

[Storm]

RIP.

I feel sorry for the guy, turning to all that shit to escape all the attention that came to what was a young man.

Amazing musician.

 

[Ols]

RIP.

He was an icon and a symbol of music. His accomplishments are comparable to Elvis Presley.

He was the next generation's Elvis. To be a star of his calibre for over three decades...it's amazing really.

Any causes for this come out? Bit random just to have a heart attack.

There are lots of assumptions that he had other illnesses, the Sun still sticks to the story that he had skin cancer, but the most likely explanation is an OD on his prescription meds. His doctor apparently warned his family something like this was coming because of the way he took his meds.

Poor Michael.

To live the life of a star and be loved all around the world, only to have his life ruined by allegations that were withdrawn.

Rest in Peace.

Just because they were withdrawn doesn't mean they weren't true. And his life was ruined decades before those allegations ever materialised.

And those stupid B*****ds will probably still want their money. I thought that his music was great and even after the erm surgery and controversy, he was still a great musician. Maybe it was just because I'm black, but I thought he was one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Hes probably in singer heaven next to James Brown doing dance moves in the sky.

There's a reason it's called an "industry". They're not exactly in the charity business.

 

[jpchewy01]

yeah. but still give the man a break. HES DEAD!

Ok, so we can just forget about the point of a business and just give stuff away for free, thereby damaging all of the companies involved.

Dynamite plan.
