Michael Jackson: Dead

I had a very weird experience this morning. I was heading to the shower and moonwalker (the sega game) popped into my mind. I remembered there was a bug when "bad" was on and you changed level. It kind of freezed making the tones strech. The shower door is located opposite my mail "slot". The news paper was lying on the floor, front page facing upwards. I got pretty freaked out.
 
Oh my God, if Moonwalker wasn't proof positive that Jackson was a pedophile then there has never been proof of anything ever.

Hey... Moonwalker was actually a pretty fun game. I'm not saying it was great, or even good. But still. Fun.

Anyways, some people buy into the pedo stuff, others don't. There's really not conclusive evidence he ever did anything, and you'd have to be dense to think the media didn't jump all over it because it scored huge ratings. Still, there's no denying the man was a weirdo.

Doesn't matter anymore, really. His music, especially during his prime, is still legendary stuff, and rightly so. No pop-star of today is even in the same league.

R.I.P.
 
Not only that, very few stars have ever been in the same league as MJ. I don't think there will ever be another music star like him either.

I'd go as far as say that he was bigger than Elvis, in a way. I'm not disrespecting Elvis but the fact is that not that many people care about Elvis, outside of US, while MJ was a global super mega star. He was a one man Beatles.

He seemed more than a human being, he was greater than life. Him dying just doesn't compute. Those who grew up during his prime, feel like their childhood died this day. World just got so much less intereseting. etc. I could go on for hours.
 
If only the shitty pop genre would die with him....

Of course it's a sad thing when somebody dies, but he should have seen this coming with all that shit done to his body...
 
I would say he was eccentric, but that would be an understatement.

I was never a huge fan of Michael Jackson myself, but a friend of mine is a pretty big fan of his music.

Still, sucks that he's dead. He had developed quite a following near the end with that last trial of his. All in all, he lived up to the legend he was (both in fame and infamy).
 
In the early nineties I was a pretty big fan. Had a few cassettes, had the Moonwalker game(on mega drive), hired out the moonwalker movie from the video store. RIP dude.

Sega better release a Moonwalker game collection.
 
I really couldn't believe it when I heard this earlier, I may not have been around for the prime of his music and all but I still loved it nonetheless, but when someone was telling me I really just didn't know what to think.

RIP Michael Jackson, your music and your influence will never fade away.

Why should I give a fuck, man? He was at worst a fucking child rapist and at best a weirdo.

Yet to be proven, so let's just judge him as the best dancer/pop singer from his time.

Couldn't agree more. Those fucking ''victims'' got their money and fame anyway. He might have been weird (who wouldn't be after such a crappy life?), but he doesn't deserve to be mocked after his death. Just show some damn respect or don't leave a comment. The world lost a legend when Michael died.
 
Heh, seriously, now that he's dead we're going to get all apologetic for him? I'll mostly remember him for his music, having grown up with it, but I'm not about to get all apologetic for how creepy he was later in life.

Regardless of how weird he got, dude was the King of Pop. I remember how Godawful that whole Moonwalker film was, and how FRIGGIN' AWESOME that Smooth Criminal scene.

That sums up what Michael was about. Great choreography, awesome music and enough style to hang your hat on. Pop music has sure collapsed since.
 
Doing the rounds today:

Apparently when the paramedics got to Michael Jacksons house, they found Class A drugs in the kitchen, Class C drugs in the bathroom, and Class 4B in the bedroom



Apparently Michael Jackson died falling over a pram, a police spokesman said it's too early to determine cause of death but don't blame it on the buggy



NEWS FLASH: Gary Glitter has offered millions for Michael Jacksons computer



Breaking News: Michael Jackson didn't die of a heart attack, it was an allergic reaction to 12 year old nuts.



What did one paramedic say to the other when giving Jacko CPR? Dont stop, till hes had enough



It was touch and go at the hospital last night. Then they moved Jacko away from the children's ward.



Michael Jackson is not going to be buried or cremated but recycled into shopping bags so he can remain white, plastic and dangerous for kids to play with.#



Doctors say that Michael Jackson will be donating his organs to children... Again



Michael Jackson's last request was to be cremated and for his ashes to be put in an etch-a-sketch so kids could still play with him.



His heart problem was hereditary and came from his Protestant father. It is more commonly known as the 'Billy Gene'.



Apparently he's not being buried, just moved to Madame Tussauds



All his dates are now cancelled, including Simon and Ryan aged 5 and 9



Micheal jackson will always be with us..........he is not biodegradable.



What's the difference between MJ and Disney Films? Disney films can still touch kids



Early medical reports state he choked on a small bone.



His holiday this year is cancelled. He won't be going to Tampa with the kids.



R I P, easy as 1 2 3

If you want to see people getting all apologetic over him you got to watch TMF. :roll:

One less paedophile in the world.

Don't troll. He was never convicted, and most anecdotes tend towards him still being childlike and hence enjoying the company of children.

Yes, he was a weirdo. But this reaction is just stupid.

qft. amen, brother. and hell...if we were at a bar i'd wax theoretical and psychological about what i think that whole fucking wonderland scenario was really about. but it doesn't matter. i made all the jokes too and for the past decade (at least) his physical appearance literally fucked with my head. but i'm not here posting about anything other than how unbelievably brilliant his music, his choreography (that bad-ass smooth criminal part was his idea), and his whole persona was from '79 (Off the Wall) through '87 (Bad) with one of pop's greatest albums ever in the middle (Thriller).

I'd give a lot of credit to his producers and studio musicians, though. People always say "Michael Jackson made some great music" and they always do that for solo artists, it makes me feel like they snubbed all the people who worked on the music (this is much worse for all the pop starlets).

I love the simplicity and power of some of his beats, like Beat It. The beat doesn't change throughout and is simple and powerful.
 
sure, Thriller wouldn't be Thriller without Quincy Jones (genius ftw!) but of course Quincy couldn't have made that album work with anybody else.
