NOOOOOOOOOO my idol is dead....Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon....thats the celebrity three....
|
only TMZ is reporting he's dead however...
|
aw my wife is crying.
|
Heh, not breathing, who knows, could be anything.
The worst part, supposedly he was working on a new dance move to one up the moonwalk, and the guy helping was sworn to secrecy. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS Michael Jackson Planning Moonwalk-Eclipsing Move |
For a minute, I was worried that you meant Michael Jackson the famous brewmaster. Michael Jackson the pop star died in late 1983. Old news.
|
things are reporting a coma, things are reporting death...

you beat me to it braineack. i thought i was finally going to be the first one to know about something on this forum that others didnt know yet...
|
this sucks.............i idolized him as a kid.
|
I still do, me and wife were playing his music last night and rocking out....
he legacy is awful, it shouldnt have been this way for him |
I haven't played in MJ in... days.
I think. Maybe just a little last night. |
LA Times and the AP report he is dead. Sad ending of a sad life indeed.
|
If he hadnt turned into a freak, Im sure he would still be super popular. His early stuff is awesome.
CNN is reporting that the LATimes is saying MJ is dead. |
It was about time he beat it.
j/k This is a tragedy. |
I feel indifferent. I do not care.

fuck you joe, he dropped off the wall in 79, and thriller in 82. 4 number one hits, and 8 Grammies off one album respectively.... i mean hell Bad came OUT in 83. if anything the end was closer to '97 |
It's started to do the rounds online......
The LA Times have confirmed that it was not the sunshine or the city smog and not the moonlight, and their blaming it on the boogie.... More roumors comfern that his last words included "when i die i want to be melted into an action man so i can play with kids for years to come". Rumors are, the defibullators when used popped off his nose. Childline commented "Indeed - the children of the world can sleep easy tonight". Gawd, this is going to go on and on and on..... |
(PS) I am just stating what's going on out there !
|
I thought (i.e. from wikipedia?) BAD was 87, hence my 89 claim. Around 89 he must have been starting on Dangerous.... Which was a bit of a stretch. I always saw three people. Thriller/bad is one, up-to-and-including off the wall is another, and Dangerous-on-up is a third.
Personally, I like the first two. |

I'm saddened by the death of both Michael and Farrah, but more so by Farrah. While I held Farrahs picture in my left hand many times, unlike Hustler, I never held Michaels picture in my left hand...:giggle::giggle::giggle:
|

So who owns the beatles now?
|
Jezus the UK forums are going WILD.......Gawd only knows whats going to happen tomorrow.
"Just heard Michael Jackson died off a nut allergy he got a 9 years olds stuck in he's throat and choaked..." "It has been confirmed that Michael Jackson is NOT dead!!!! He's just in childrens wars at the hospital and told his family he is in heaven..." Apparently MJ's last words were ..."can you put me in the childrens ward?" Things are getting out of hand even. |

Well said sir! Of course, I think you'll find it was 1989.
In all seriousness however, I just got back from having dinner at a brewpub on 51st with some friends, and they had non-stop MJ playing in the background. What with all the gayness in the 90s and the downright weird shit in the '00s, I'd forgotten that he didn't always suck. Actually, I can very clearly remember the first time I heard Smooth Criminal when it came out. It was on what, at the time, was the only rock station in the Greater Antilles, on a small Sony portable radio, the kind with a cassette player where you slide the cassette in sideways like on a car radio, while otherwise bored out of my mind on the island of Isleta Marina, off the coast of Fajardo, Puerto Rico. It actually kinda rocked. |

He didn't die, he just went back to his home planet with Elvis. I never liked him and thought he was a freak. On my birthday too, along with Farrah. Oh well, I didn't really know or like either of them, I don't really care either way. I guess we will see this on the news for the next few weeks. Hurray!

Onion newswire on FB: "BREAKING: Last piece of Michael Jackson dies."
|
The truth is Pedobear killed him
|
It was an epic battle.

Damn...first music I remember is MJ because I found a cassette player outside one day with the Dangerous tape in it. Of course I was like 4 or 5 then. And haven't really listened to MJ since I was 7. Oh well. He did make some good songs, too bad his reputation is so tarnished. I am kind of looking forward to all the jokes, though.
Moonwalker was a terrible game. |

Moonwalker was a terrible game. The UK forums are RIFE with them since yesterday. And I mean R I F E !!! My mobile here in Ireland has not stopped with texts and I'm getting sick of it :vash: I can see UTube vids etc on the way :giggle: |
So much disrespect, and I bet a lot of it is being hurled around by people who probably aren't old enough to remember how awesome he used to be. When I was growing up, he was THE MAN, there was nobody bigger. He blazed the trail for most of what pop music is today, and even now that he's dead he still has more talent in his pinky toe than most of the current crop of "artists" have in their entire bodies. He made white boys, who everybody knows can't dance, at least make an effort. And grown white men still try in vain to imitate some of those moves when we're drunk in Las Vegas.
Sure he was a bit of a freak show and lots of people will choose to remember him that way. He did bring it on himself by "leaking" absurd but untrue stories to tabloids. But most of what he actually did was relatively harmless. He had an addiction to plastic surgery and was on and off prescription drugs. So what, who does that really hurt besides him? And it's not like he was raping little boys like the press would have you believe. If you ever saw him in an interview, it's obvious that he lacked the full mental capacity and reasoning of a mature adult. It's like he was stuck in time as a kid who wasn't really comprehending how bad some of his actions made him look, or how badly lawsuit-happy people wanted a chunk of his dough. Some kid may or may not have seen his hootus at one of his ill advised sleep-overs but he was never convicted of any crime. My opinion is that his actions arose out of naiveté and not malicious intent. It's not like he beat his wife, shot people, or had actual sex with kids (none that's been proven anyway) like the current crop of celebrities. The radio stations that don't trade as much on sensationalism are playing his songs all night. Hell even the country music station was playing "Beat It" during my commute. I get home and click on the TV and these fucking reporters haven't even let the body cool and the discussion is all about the tabloid shit and they're barely mentioning the magnitude of influence he had on world pop music. Some of these fuckers can't even try to be respectful for like half a day. Can't say I'm surprised though. |

I hope the world doesn't mourn him. He doesn't deserve it. He wasn't brilliant, he was sick. He defined everything bad about "pop" music. All spectacle, very little music. He wasn't an artist he was a freakshow.
|
Actually I heard he died of food poisoning.....
He ate a 9yr old weiner.... |
:bowrofl: It starts.

I feel sorry for the family of Farrah Fawcett, her passing will be eclipsed the circus that is Michael Jackson.

I'll mourn the Joey Ramones and the Joe Strummers of the world. You fags can have Mr Jackson. |

Jesus. That's brilliant. I hate to see such an amazing career overshadowed by the perfect joke.
Thank you, MJ, for making that joke possible. Not gonna lie, he wasn't the perfect person but who honestly is? As for his musical career he had a few good songs. For the most part not my type of music, but I could stand listening to him which is a LOT more than I can say for fags like Rage... :loser: Zach's voice makes me want to kill kittens... Not to mention their Political affiliation......... lets not go there. I Particularly liked Thriller and Don't Stop Til You get Enough. You know, CHA'MON MEOW!! http://www.eurweb.com/images//rush_h...ed-wide%29.JPG :bowrofl: |

And don't forget the passing of Dan Federici last year. THAT broke my heart. |
"Michael Jackson is not going to be buried or cremated, it has been decided that he will be recycled into shopping bags so he can remain white, plastic, and dangerous for kids to play with".
Michael Jackson had just finished writing a book before he died.....it's called "The In's and Outs of Child Rearing". |

It wasn't until many years after listening to "P.Y.T." that I realized he wasn't actually singing about a girl he was interested in. What did you think he meant when he said "young?" Eighteen? Lower. Sixteen? Much lower.
I wonder what Lisa Marie Presley is doing these days? One of the creepiest videos he ever did was the one with the two of them in a swimming pool. I think she was naked. I only caught it once. |
Go figure, miata guys and Micheal Jackson. :jerkit:
He was big when I was growing up, but then he started being a fag, then a mutant manwomen, then he kinda just disappeared. Now he's dead. Lots of people die everyday, like someone else said "another one bites the dust......fag" |
I can't believe Congress took a moment of silence. Fuck that. We have soldiers dying every day and they stop passing their "green" bills for the King of Pop.
On a different note: Is it too early to start the conspiracy theories? I'm convinced he faked his own death to avoid the public spotlight and bail on those 50 sold out shows. |
