Michael Jackson deserved the attention he got upon the unfortunate death. His music, his moves, his changes all contributed to his fame. He was Revolutionary when it came to musixc and fully deserves a funeral worthy of a KING.. and i am sure he will get one.. UNlike other who just die who didnt deserve the attention and were just another statistic.. and i agree with it.. you have to earn your right to get attention... And the surgeon was a PLASTIC surgeon.....as in hey let me fix your bone cheeks -_- not a surgeon in a ER department so no..no saving 100 of lives there..
'
In ANy Case.. Big fan was,am, will be forever in Michaels Debt for his wonderfull art and will pass it onto generations of my family to come
Rest in Peace..KING OF POP (Just Beat It)

The sports starts, musicians, actors, etc always get all the attention, for better or for worse. Just the way the world is.

If the media would like to report every death of those type of people, I would mourn for them just as much, because they saved lives. I can't mourn for people who I don't know have died because their works were not brought into the spotlight.

I think you got my point wrong, i was giving an example of people who have an impact on the world, but go unoticed. This example was a surgeon, as in the one who works in a hospital.
But anyway, back to topic.

The backslide is the accurate name for it. The moonwalk is actually the accurate name of a totally different move where you sort of glide in a circle.

Ah well. He was one of the most important figures in the history of pop. He made some great music and some interesting dances. He helped rescue the genre. He was also a creep, a freak of plastic surgery, a boy-man who didn't know when his time had come, and likely a pervert as well. It's sad that he died, but I won't exactly cry myself to sleep over it. That's fine for the people who knew him, but I don't see why the whole world should cut its hair and wear sackcloth for him.
That said, I have one more thing to bring up:
CUE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE DANCE PARTY IN KAMADAN!

Im going to be blunt, I never like his music, or his persona.
I also don't believe this was his fault however, I believe I read somewhere that his parents gave him female hormones when he was in the Jackson five to keep his voice high pitch.
I also have to say this though, people live, people die. I didn't care when Kurt Cobain shot himself, even though in my opinion he was x10 better then MJ, because he was mortal like the rest of us. We all die. Get over it.

Well personally, I say R.I.P
but what i really cant stand is how everyone thinks he was so good now that hes died.
Today after his death news readers were talking "his comeback concrets in london were all about the fans, he loved them all he wanted to do was preform for them"
3 weeks ago, is was more like "Given his past accusations, and in recent years hes had to sell his neverland ranch, as hes in extreame financial difficulties, his concrerts in london are more about money to retire on than preforming"

You found your way to wiki, gratz!
The point is he was an amazing dancer and performer and I posted the link because some people might enjoy to see those moves again.

I actually didn't look at wiki. The moonwalk is a GLIDE in a circle, not a slide. They're glides, slides and floats, but since you seem compelled to think I used wiki, here is a guy on how to glide,slide and floats. But you're right, this isn't the point, no--the point is you used a wrong, misused term and I corrected you.

Hopefully he will be remembered for all the innovations and accomplishments in his musical career, not the blemishes in his personal life.
R.I.P. Michael, you truly were the king of pop.

True and thank you, but when I hear moonwalk, the connection with Michael Jackson will stil be made for as long as I live, like millions of other people on the planet. Maybe you want to correct them too?

So god bless and rest in peace to all, not just celebs. Celebrate Mikes life, he had a good one.
PS: My personal opinion is using someones death as a conversation piece is in bad taste. But maybe thats just me. We don't need a thread about this, since its all over the news and the internet. But I get the point, even if I don't like it.

Yes, there are many, many, many people who die everyday, and no one notices. The reason why people care about the death of celebrities is because they're entertainers. They've entertained millions of people, and those millions of people care. As for Michael Jackson, he was more than an entertainer. He revolutionized music. He was the king of pop. He's a legend, and an icon. He did more than entertain - he touched the hearts of millions. That's why those millions care so much.
