Cause there are too many media sources out there. They don't really care that he died, they just want to be the first to break the story.

On the bright side, if it is true he qualifies for one more category in the Male Hottie draft.

No question.

As weird and possibly deranged as he is/was....he is simply put, a musical and entertainment genius.

I know we're all supposed to show respect for the (possibly) dead, but I just heard Michael Jackson referred to as a "very shrewd businessman, which he doesn't often get a lot of credit for." Wasn't he in debt to the World Bank?! Let the deification commence!

Thriller was one of the best albums of all time. Back then in his prime he was without equal.

Shame he turned all weird and decided he liked little boys.

He was an amazing talent. Watching that Billie Jean performance still amazes me. Even today there isn't anyone that performs like that.

RIP Michael

I've got a completely inappropriate comment to make, one that I heard from a guy I work with, not sure if I should post it or not. Aw, screw it.

One of my friends got one of the very first records out in Calgary. He went to the library and photocopied about 20 copies of the lyrics so we could all sing a long.

Too bad he freaked out right after Thriller.

I feel bad for anyone legitimately needing to get to that hospital right now with all the media and paparazzi sitting outside.

I will be listening to my Michael tonight in memory. A phenomenal talent and genius was taken today. Say what you want about his alleged pedophilia, the man was an icon.
