Michael Jackson Dies
Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to learn the paramedics found him in the bathroom in a fetal position. He WAS a big 'Elvis' nut.
I can hear the conspiracy theorists now."Get your smile on!"

What a shocker!! The comeback tour was delayed. Now done
very sad indeed. He was pretty odd, but seriously talented people often are.

He hasn't been the king of pop for a long time. He took the Howard Hughes route. Yes he had a huge impact on the music industry, but he hasn't been relevant since the mid-90's. It was actually sad.

Love him or hate him,you can not put aside the fact that he was a creative genius.He gave us so many good songs and videos.My kids were brought up on his music and we have such fond memories.The pressure of staying at the top in a cruel industry got the better of him.He will be missed by millions of adoring fans.Its sad to see so many icons leave us,Hendrix,Elvis,Lennon,and now the king of pop.

It goes without saying that the tittle is his,like Elvis was the king of rock and roll.You cant take that away from him.

Donny,i guess i am emotional about this because it brings back so many good memories for our family.Our kids were brought up on his music and videos and my son who is 27 now,did a mean imitation of him on the song Billy Jean when he was just a young boy.I felt the same when John Lennon,Elvis,Stevie Ray V. and all the great ones passed away.Being a musician for the past 40 years this really hits home.

Very sad news regarding Michael, I think everyone at one point in their lives enjoyed his music. He did not have a great last decade or so.. however, he is and always will be an icon and his music will live forever.My name is Paul. And I'm a golfaholic.

No no Reza, CNN confirmed his career died over a decade ago. The shell of the legend died. Originally Posted by rezadue

People, your being suckered into the biggest marketing move in history. On Sunday (3 days after death) Mike will rise from the "dead" and walk out of the hospital to announce his "Resurrection Tour".

If anyone will miss him , it'll be the press. He did some awesome stuff in the 80's (it pains me to admit this
) but then it all weird after that. I'm sure they're already writing the script for the movie.
At the end of the day ... It gets dark

People are nasty considering he died. I can't believe the negativity. I find it to be in poor taste.
