No, I'm never going to respect a peadophile, especially if someone orders me to do so!

Oh no I don't think he was a paedo. No way. I have strong feelings on this.

Fair enough that you're cynical about his death, but shouldn't that same cynicism carry over to the claims of paedophilia? xD It does for me.

I am sad, because I liked him. I never imagine celebrities dying.

But I see what you're saying. I never understood the public outpouring of grief for Diana. I mean, gosh, it was sad. She was so young, with 2 sons. But the news showed all these people in hysterics and I'm just thinking 'be thankful it's not a member of YOUR family!'

THANK YOU.
Thank you.

I dont know him personally but i am heartbroken for his family. I am a huge fan of his music. He was the inspiration for alot of musical artists out there today. I believe whole heartedly we would not have some of the musical and dancing talents we have been exposed to if it was not for him.

hooray for the children! good radiance!

great music though,lol

Yes, he was radiant. ;D

lol, good eye, i tottally missed that :P

totally* im on a rolll

He had great music. Was a wonderful performer. But there was just something about him that creeped me out. I don't know if it was the fact that he was really dark skinned and then became whiter than me... or because he was in all these cases about molesting children. I am sad to hear about his passing though. More sad about Farrah. Why isn't there breaking news about her? She died toay too you know. Give her the respect she deserves.

Ugh... I hate the video of him holding his baby off the balcony. So scary and stupid. He was a great performer though.

It was announced way earlier about Farrah also Farrahs death was iminent days ago, so people were expecting to hear it. However Michaels death was unexpected so I think that is why it is bigger.

:(

You know I was actually disappointed when he died, I was curious as to what his face was going to look like once he got old or if his nose would fall off again?

I bet everyone's going to act like his biggest fan now just like they did with Heath Ledger, oh well at least little boys can sleep sweetly without being molested.

You won't catch me acting like his biggest fan. Never was a fan, will never pretend to have been a fan. If he really is dead, I feel bad for his family (regardless of the kind of person he may or may not have been), but I am not going to miss him.

Wow.
I'd like to see him older as well :x

But I dont think he'd let himself get old, I mean look at all the surgeries he's had.

That was SO my first thought - that all the little boys in the world will finally sleep peacefully at night. haha

LA Coroner has just officially confirmed his death, via CNN.

Link, please.

I never remember how to make a link....http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/jackson/index.html

That's good enough. ;-)

Thank you.

Glad to see that SOME news source actually reported independently of TMZ. FINALLY.

Yeah everywhere has confirmed it now.

Damn that's terrible. His music was really good, I still listen to it today.
Big musical influence.

i liked him before he got all creepy. im about 90% sure he did bad things to those kids, despite what the courts say, but im still kinda sad for him, i really dont think he ment for his life to go that way and 50yrs old is way too young to die.
