I'd be lying if I say I didn't listen to his music when I was a kid..
There are things I don't like about him but w/e.. in respect to his music, RIP MJ!

The doctor's weren't too sure of the cause of Michael Jackson's death. They weren't sure whether to blame it on the moonlight, sunshine or the boogie. XDDD

He'll be missed

I never really watched his vids until the day he died... I gotta say, his dance moves are so... different. O_o

Wonder how he died.

He pretty much revolutionized pop dancing and most pop and r&b dance choreographers cite him and his sister as part of the influence.

Here's 'Scream' with Janet... too bad they didn't performed this live together.

I have a feeling his death may be something drug related...
after the 2nd autopsy they found he was bald, empty stomach except pain pills, broken ribs, needle marks, ect.
also theirs rumors that he has been doing 3hours dancing a day, for a 50 year old for someone to do suddenly may do damage to his ticker

Yeah, Michael Jackson was great. It doesn't matter about all the bad things he's done/accused of doing, he was an amazing musician.

Now im might sound like a cold fuck for saying this (but then again whats new?).
But I cant help think, how does his death affect every single person's individual lives exactly?

I don't know how this affect the others'...
Mine? Not much but this whole thing did gave me stuff to think about and made me ponder for a bit if I was a bit judgmental...
I listened to his music for awhile when I was what.. in first and second grade i think.. I borrow my cousin's 'Dangerous' tape xD... and I wasn't aware of the controversies that surrounded him then about being a pedo.

Growing up, my music preferences changed and so I never really listened to his stuff. Then he became a media sensation and we are all aware of his controversies. It wasn't about his music anymore... it was all about whether or not he's a pedo, his nose surgeries, his skin color, his children, his childlike mannerisms and strange behaviors. The media was feasting on his personal life and he became a laughingstock... and of course, we all laughed at him. I know I laughed at him... I really did think he went bonkers but I never really understood... why. Or maybe... I never really cared whether I find the answer to that or not because... I'm not huge fan to begin with.
But of course, his untimely death became a media sensation for more than a week now and I couldn't help but be curious ^^
I came to believe fame wasn't the root of his insanity. He lived a very pressured life when he was little and had a very, very abusive father. He became an entertainment machine... expected to perform perfectly on every concert they did as Jackson 5. I came to believe the people who surrounded him in music business are puppet masters. They're just there because they can manipulate MJ and make him shit money for them.
I came to believe MJ's a grown man living out his childhood years and the experiences he'd missed out all those years ago. He said it himself... he used to invite kids to Neverland and even let them sleep on his bed... (creepy I know) but he said he never ever touched them or vice versa in sexual manner. Remember he imagines himself to be Peter Pan... a literary character who refuses to 'grow up'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan
Perhaps, he imagines those kids to be the Lost Boys in the story. In some version, Peter Pan also had a wife and kids.. and that's probably why MJ was so insisting on having kids of his own all those years ago.

*shrugs* xD

It sucks MJ died and all, but people die EVERYDAY. That being said, all I can say is RIP. I still listen to his music every once in a while so he'll still live on in my ear drums.
