The first album I ever had was Thriller. I was 5 and I would spend all sorts of time moonwalking and breakdancing and other spastic 5 year old dancing to Beat It and Billie Jean and Thriller. Thoughts changed on both the music and the man as I grew up, but there was definitely a place and time for MJ in my life.
Sad isn't quite the right word, but significant is.
But you know what, its still HIS opinion. You dont have to like it.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.
KTLA reporting that Paramount Pictures has confirmed that the 'very flashy' red carpet premiere of "Bruno" will go as planned tonight at the Kodak Theatre tonight... WTF? That's kinda messed up, or maybe I'm just being dramatic.
what did the first parent get paid out for his/her settlement out of court with michael?
It's rumored to be as high as 20 million and by doing it I don't think he was admitting his guilt. I think he just wanted it over so he could move on with his life.

I dont get it. What does Bruno have to do with Michael Jackson?

^ Just the fact that its a big red-carpet release. I guess some thought they would cancel it out of respect to MJ and FF.

Never was a fan of his. Over-produced, repetitive and derivative.
On top of that, he was an evil man.
Derivative of what exactly? The guy was a pioneer in the pop music world. To this day people are still trying to do what he did (I'm looking at you Timberlake).
And an evil man? Possibly, but if you have evidence that shows that to be a certainty, please do share.

Oh I see. The show must go on I guess. Although it is a tough day in that strange world that celebrities call home.

I don't get wrapped up in celebrity lives, or gossip, or really feel any emotion when a celebrity dies. When I heard that Michael Jackson passed, it was a shock and I did for once feel something.
I work in the music business, Michael is a legend who's popularity transcends one genre of music. Thriller may have saved the record industry. There was never a bigger album, there will never be another album as large as that one. Shortly after the news broke, the country music station up here played 'man in the mirror'. Everything the guy did was the best...his songwriting, his singing and of course his dancing. No one influenced pop culture as much as Michael Jackson did.
I fully recognize how weird Michael was. I think alot of that had to do with his upbringing...he never got to have a childhood. What childhood he did have, he was abused. It's a sad story. I hope that when people remember the guy, they remember how great that music is. How amazing those music videos are and how to do the Thriller. He had his faults, they are well documented but he will forever be one of, if not the greatest musician we've seen.

He also appeared in one of Michael Jackson's Pepsi television commercials as a dancer in 1984, after which he was the subject of rumors that he broke his neck during the making of one of the commercials.
