blah blah, I m looking forward to see what you say when somebody important to your memory dies.
if you don't like MJ, just go away, whats the point rubbing in other people's face?
perspective, what perspective do people need to morn their loss?
To mostly echo everyone else; all charges were dropped, but even if he was guilty you think he's the only pedophile out there?
Same here. I used to run around the house singing "I'm Bad" when I was a kid, used to love his music. Soundtrack to my childhood (parents were Jackson 5/MJ fans).
On a discussion board, I don't know, you tell me...
Edit:
Actually, while I think about it, I've just spent 2 hour of my life cleaning this damn board of offensive comments about Jackson in deference to his memory, as I said at the top, it's a shame he's dead, he was clearly good, but you'll not convince me of anything further, or of any celebrity death being important to anyone but their families...
Please, carry on eulogising.
You guess?
Were you hoping perhaps for this possibility? (no disrespect to MJ intended)
Well at least one person will get to hear him in the afterlife..
R.I.P Michael.
Likewise.
On a discussion board, I don't know, you tell me...
you are the mod, you tell me.
and congratulations for your cool mind to find hole of the rules to make sure other people feel worse. well done.
Its people's memory you are trashing.
Just a quick correction, he was a singer, writer, producer, performer, dancer, multi-award winning artist.
Perspective right back at cha.
On a discussion board, I don't know, you tell me...
Winter.. weren't you a bassist for a band in the 80s? Even if you didn't like his songs.. at least we musicians can acknowledge the sheer skills that his works involved. Talk about using 200 synths for one bassline!
Maybe you didn't like his songwriting, or his vocals, or his performances, or his productions - but at least, as a musician, give credit to his chops. (Yes, Quincy Jones was involved with most of his work but MJ was a perfectionist)
Let the canonisation of St. Michael begin...
He was a singer, end of.
It's sad but it happens.
750 million records, sure, just another singer
Lets see what sort of legacy you die with oh great cynic.
The Jackson 5: The Victory Tour in 1984 was the first concert that I ever went to. We had 4th row center at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. I still remember parts of the show all these years later.
I live around a 15 minute walk away from the UCLA Hospital where he died. I can hear and see all of the helicopters that are taking video of the hospital outside. I counted 4 of them at one time. Maybe I'll take a walk up there later tonight to see what's up.
RIPMJ

Again you're totally off. I guarantee you more people know The Iliad and the Odyssey from Homer than who cured smallpox or who made the first heart transplant. People still listen to Mozart and Beethoven more than when their pieces originally made. I've shown you artists whose work has lived hundreds of years and even a thousand years. There are many more. Where's your proof to backup your claim?
You just don't get it. People live and die all the time in this world. You are right about that. The only thing that survives through time is art. It is the only thing in this world that is viewed as priceless. People travel all over the world to art exhibits, architectural masterpieces like the pyramids or the Roman Coliseum, or to see Michael Jackson. They do not travel to see the doctor who invented cloning.
You don't have to be a doctor or a great humanitarian to change the world. Jackie Robinson changed America with the Dodgers. If you look at the world the way you're currently doing, you miss everything including the truth. It shows a total lack of insight and the mindset of a non-intellectual.
It's you're right to not like him. I'm not an Elton John fan but I still respect his music. But if you don't care about his music or "life troubles" then why post?
Edit: *Pat on the back* for moderating this thread.
Why is this even on Macrumors?????????
This is the Community Discussion forum. That is why.
So what? He could have been the greatest living artist in any discipline, he may well have been the best pop artist although that is clearly debatable, he meant little to me and billions of others.
You liked him, fine.
I didn't, but for my sins I get to clear up the threads here, so here I am talking to you Jackson fans.
