Michael Jackson dead at 50

I dunno I'm sure he's in a heaven in a beautiful park playing games with lovely children.

Never liked his music and found him pretty creepy in his later years, but there's no denying he was the biggest pop star of his day. Bigger than Madonna.

I remember in the college dorms when everyone was listening to stuff like REM, The Clash, Roxy Music and The Cure, a guy down the hall was excited about having just bought Michael Jackson's Bad. I thought, "There is something seriously wrong with you."

I in no way condone some of his later years escapades. I think he was a sick man.....seriously, most of his adult life I think he was mentally ill (just my opinion based on what I saw). That aside his music and dance were great.

Indeed very sad, I remember back in the very early 70's with his brothers they made some great songs. And at such a young age of 50 is sad.

No question Michael suffered emotionally and physically throughout his life. Whenever I saw him interviewed he always seemed unhappy. Not sure all that fame and fortune was good for him.

M. Jackson was a good singer, I liked his music of the 1970's. I grew in Miami at same time he was becoming famous, and was in college when Thriller came out. He was the biggest pop star then. Maddona would be a little later. I am trying to not think about the scandals when hearing about his death. I can only hope he straightened things out and is in Heaven if it was to be.

I also feel sorry about Farah.

It wasn't steroids. And It wasn't cocaine. (He didn't have a nose for that) Makes you wonder if he was doing something else, since he died so young.
