A legend of legends, Michael Joseph Jackson, met his demise today. Words cannot describe how disheartening this is. There are scores of children who were 80’s babies, whose childhoods were defined by Michael Jackson’s artistic genius and surreal presence. He was the original MJ – before Michael Jordan came along.
In the next few hours and days, you all will read about his idiosyncratic ways and partiality toward bizarre behavior. For now, we’ll just focus on the impact that he had on our lives. For the better.
Our hearts and prayers goes out to the Jackson family. We’re numb. MJ just seemed so immortal to us. At least his music gets to live on in perpetuity.

I am so hurt and shocked by this. I think I was one of those people who thought that Michael would always be here. I don’t know. I hope people will be respectful and remember all the good things he has done. And what he means to not only Black America but the world. Michael – I love u.
I still cant believe it either. It feels like someone close to me that I knew died. Just was not ready for this news today. RIP to Farrah Fawcett too.
truly sad day, michael you will be missed
This is crazy. Losing both Farrah and Michael in one day is crazy. Makes you appreciate life and those you love. Sadly missed. Pray for both families.
Yesterday, I couldn’t even pull it together. The pain in my heart was unfathomable. While the pain still lingers, I’m much more worried about his family. We should really take the time to pray for comfort for the Jackson family. Over the years, they have been scrutinized and demoralized and to have to ENDURE the passing of their loved one in the public eye is going to be hard.
Michael was an amazing artist who genuinely enjoyed what he did. He influenced many a generations with his style of dress, dancing and musical range. We’ve all been influenced greatly by MJ, and may he FINALLY rest in peace! MJ, thank you for leaving us with 40+ years of great music and memories.
A horrible thing happened! Jacko passed away so suddenly and unexpected. He was and will forever be a fenomenal genius in the pop-music, he is the King! I grew up with his musicand impatiently expected his new album. It’s sad, really sad that he’s not with us anymore. I bow before him!
**TEARS**
Micheal used his talent to try and open our minds to “take a look at ourselves” and change the world, instead of just looking as it went by…
I MISS YOU MICHAEL JACKSON
MICHAEL I REALLY MISS YOU ALOT
*TEAR* I MISS YOU ALOT
Michael Jackson is the of the world, he made people cry for happiness, he made people laugh for joy, He made my world a fun place. I don’t care about Michael personal life all I care about is that he made music, kids, adult, enemy and friends happy. I was once a dress and dance a like fan, and I am still a loved person to Michael Jackson, May his soul rest in peace.
I love you Michael For what you do in the world.

Not alot of people realize how quickly things can change. You can have one thing one moment and the next, its gone. I miss Michael Jackson, I really didn’t pay much attention to him, but i feel like i have met him before. I know it sounds crazy but, its true. I feel bad for Michael Jackson, i think the reason that all the celeberties go bad is that the pressure gets to them, people ly about them, so they start drugs and soon before you know it they start doing crazy things. I hope people will remember all the wonderful things Michael Jackson has done, and how he changed the world for the better. My eyes are watering, and i am not really an emotional person. There is one thing i don’t understand about him, why he did makeovers. He was not a bad looking guy. I am deeply filled with sorrow. RIP MJ
