I see people talking a lot about how he revolutionized music. That is true, but I think the bigger picture is that the guy revolutionized entertainment. The guy revolutionized singing, dancing, concerts, and even television (the guy basically invented the music video and paved the way for MTV and the like). He also paved the way for black entertainers in many ways.

Anyways, I see a lot of people talking about the female necro thriller dance. Why hasn't anybody mentioned the paragon beat it dance yet?

You know that most of the people who give money for charities do it for themselves?

Because they want to feel better. They don't honestly want to help anyone but their own conciousness.

What bugs me is the people going "Oh, oh, he died too young." Well, that's true with respect to lifespan, but I'm not sure that's what people are thinking of. If he had been 65 and was still recording, people would still probably have said "Oh, he died too soon." I think the hype is more about how he was about to have a "comeback" than that he died relatively early in modern terms. And in terms of his career... he's one of the people, like Elvis, who should have died (or at least quit) much younger, before his image could be tarnished. You wan't "died young"? That's Heath Ledger. He died too young. He was at the peak of his career. Jackson wasn't... and he was getting to the point where he was remembered more and more for his faults than for his music, as kids who weren't around when he was making music are growing up now. In my school, "Michael Jackson" is synonymous with "child molester" and "freak of nature", not "King of Pop". It's sad that he died, but he ought to have quit when he was ahead.

We should still do a Youtube dance tribute, though.

heath ledger is not and was never greater than michael jackson overall and music > acting

you cant compare michael with heath and u shouldnt be comparing in the first place

I never really listened to his music, and I admit I made fun of him, ALOT.

I just never expected that he would die, at 50.

have you guys read the news yet today? it turns out MJ didn't die of cardiac arrest; he died of food poisoning.

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!

I'll admit it, I've made fun of him in the past years. But I saw a video on youtube that got me thinking, so I decided to do some research. Not only do I feel ignorant, I feel like an asshole.

Freak of plastic surgery? Do you know why he got so much plastic surgery on his nose? Growing up, his father used to call him big nose. Now, I don't know about you, but if I grew up with a negative nickname given by my father, I'd be in a pretty messed up mental state about it. His father made fun of his nose, so he got a lot of plastic surgery on it. That's not being a freak, that's being emotionally hurt. If I grew up with my father calling me a fatass, I'd do anything and everything to lose weight. If I grew up with my father calling me big nose, I'd do anything and everything to change my nose. Why? Because like him, I'd be in a messed up mental state about it.

Pervert? Well, he did trust children more than adults, and he did sleep with kids, but he was never found guilty of molesting them. I wouldn't call him a pervert, I'd say he had some serious mental issues. Really, he was a child in an adult's body. He never had a normal childhood, and he wanted to. Being famous at the age of 10, having an abusive father and not having a normal childhood is going to screw you up, like it did to him.

Now, before someone brings up him 'bleaching' his skin...

He had skin cancer, and he had vitiligo, which causes depigmentation in patches of skin. So, instead of being a black male with white patches all over his body and face, he got his skin changed so he'd be one complexion. Now again, I don't know about you, but if I had the money, I'd do the same thing.

So in the end, for years we've been making fun of Michael Jackson because his father traumatized him with a negative nickname, he had mental issues and liked (not saying liked in a sexual way) children, and had a skin disease. Congratulations, we're all ignorant, inconsiderate assholes. Roy Frogger, you may have lost faith in humanity because people are mourning his death, but I've lost some faith in humanity for making fun of him when they had no clue why he did what he did.

The whole world are mourning his death not only because he was a legend in music. He's donated to over 39 charities. He had songs that sent a message to millions about poverty and racism. He did some very questionable things, but this man was a hero.

He may have donated to over 39 charities for himself, he may have done it to help others. I don't know him, you don't know him, so the both of us will never know. He's donated to over 39 charities. That's amazing, regardless of his reasons.

And for the record, no, I'm not some crazy MJ fanboy.

And who did Heath abuse and rape?

Oh, right, NOBODY.

I feel no sadness in my heart. Oh, he was emotionally sick, because he was picked on by another wacko... Well, he had millions of dollars, let's just fix the problem on the face, instead of the problem inside of his head! Who needs a psychiatrist when you can just remodel yourself.

It also explains the child molestation. Let him free, and give him a free puppy, he's the victim here.

Oh, right, HE WAS NEVER FOUND GUILTY. When you find me solid evidence and proof, I'll believe you. Until then, it's a mystery.

How do you know he didn't visit psychiatrists? Unless you followed him around 24/7, you wouldn't know.

Also, I did a little research on MJ back in the day as well and pieced it together pretty much the same way you did, Arky. I won't even pretend like I didn't make fun of him, but the respect for him certainly shot back up.

I just found out if you google "Jackson has 6 months to live" you'll get several articles that go back to January of this year.

Why can't someone give money to feel better about themselves? They deserve to feel happy if the money they gave helps a lot of people and charity.

Evan Chandler who sued Michael Jackson for 22 million tells the truth out of remorse.

"After the sudden death of Michael Jackson Evan Chandler tells the truth.

In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.

Now maybe for the remorse of his death Chandler decides to tell us the truth. ” I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now i can’t tell Michael how much i’m sorry and if he will forgive me ”.Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…

Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Chandler) told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his penis.Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.

” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”
