Michael Jackson passes away at the early age of 50.

[Lucky Flame]

The sad reality (http://cbs2.com/entertainment/michael.jackson.hospitalized.2.1059770.html)

I was really starting to love his music and just like that, he's gone, this sucks.

Remembering him, here's my favorite music video from him:

believe it now VK?

[Kirino]

Pop is officially dead today...

[Lucky Flame]

Yea, I agree, Pop is s*** these days.

And nothing compares to MJ's choreography.

[Dally]

Yeah, I heard, it's pretty sad that MJ died. Well, SOME people think it's sad.

[Lucky Flame]

I think some people are hypocrites:

Yesterday: Lol, MJ is such a creep and pedophile, his music sucks, lolz

Today: Oh this sucks, he was such a good artist.

I never hated MJ, but these last few weeks before his death I've gotten to like his music, sort of ironic he has to die just as I was really starting to be a fan of him.

[Kirino]

I have been a fan of him just as long as I've been a fan of Queen (Since I was 3)

LOL, ARE YOU CURSED?! Lol just kidding,
But it's sad that people are actually HAPPY that MJ died since they only see him as a child molestor instead of the genius King of Pop.....well, DECEASED King of Pop....

[Lucky Flame]

Sort of like the Elvis of our day?

Lol, yea I'm cursed, no if I was cursed all the members of KoRn and Duran Duran would be dead as well.

To bad he didn't know he was saying an unintentional lie when he said "I'll see you in July" Oh well.

...Maybe he'll come back as a ghost. :O

But nah, anyways, are they going to cancel the event then?

[Lucky Flame]

Well what else are they supposed to do?

Maybe if they get some really good dancers which MJ had already handpicked and people to sing in for him they might not, but I doubt that. And even if they did somehow I think there would be a negative response.

[CYBERDISC]

R.I.P our old friend

[KonataTheAwesome]

my mom just called me down to tell me right after i saw this topic.WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE! POP IS GOING TO NOW GET WORSE! *goes into emo corner*

[Shiraishi-kun]

Y'know, this really does kinda suck. MJ was a great artist and a brilliant choreographer. Sure, he was a child molester,but that'sonly onepart of his life. Can't we all jst remember people for the good things that they've done instead of the bad? That'd lighten up the burden on a lot of people's conciounces (how the hell do you spell that?).

But, yeah, long live the king of pop.

The problem is that people give Negative equal or more points than positive

Think of it like this, which is better? Negative or Positive? Why not give the better part of it more points.

Oh, and he was POSSIBLY a child moester

[Freeman]

It's not shocking to me. I only like a few of his songs.

[Supernova141]

[KonataTheAwesome]

all the GOOD singers die.

[Kona]

you cant deny the man's talent, but the last several years of his life were a train wreck. his musical legacy will live on.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Amen to that Kona! *highfive*

[Lucky Flame]

Like I said, some people are hypocrites.

[Kirino]

Que end of MJ jokes
Que beginning of "He was one of the best singers period"


Don't forget about Freddie Mercury ?(´??)?

2:33 - 2:49 is my favorite part.

[VK-Skelton]

believe it now VK?


Calm down, I was just stating that I hadn't heard he'd died, nothing more.

Still, this is sad news for pop. Can't claim to have ever had listened to his work in any great depth, but you can't deny the huge influence the man's had on music.
Also the news could probably chosen a better music video to play than 'Thriller'...

[Lucky Flame]

It's sad that that's pretty much all he's really known for, that and his other misfortunes.

[Empire]

:( .

[Lucky Flame]

^ Yea that pretty much sums it all up.

[kirant]

About the only pain here is that it overshadows Farah Fawcett's death.

It's like Princess Diana's death overshadowing Mother Teresa's. Guess which of those two I cared about more (Hint -...Like you really need a hint for this example)

[Lucky Flame]

Well you can't really help it, MJ was more popular. And I never watched any of Farrah's movies.

[kirant]

I meant the latter. Seriously, Mother Teresa has done tonnes more (IMO) than Diana...all Diana did was bring fashion back to royalty and make AIDs slightly less taboo.

In this case, Fawcett was trying to make an example of herself at the end of life...RIP both of them...

[Kirino]

This is sort of how it went

Freddie Mercury's death overshadowing Eric Carr's Death (Though I can see why that happened, Freddie was amazing)

Princess Diana overshadowing Mother Theresa's Death

Michael Jackson overshadowing Farrah Fawcett's Death

[kirant]

People find the worst possible time to die, don't they?

[Lucky Flame]

No kidding, not that there's ever really a good time.

[kirant]

Yeah there is.

All major people who have done something important should die at times far apart from one another so we can grieve them individually.

[Kirino]

Though there are some cases where the overshadowing is for the more important person. Such as when Freddie Mercury died the same day as Eric Carr. Freddie Mercury did a whole lot for the music world, him and the rest of Queen shaped rock into what it is today with their music. Sadly, he only died a little under 24 hours of him admitting that he had AIDS.

Though Mother Teresa should have gotten the attention other than Princess Diana.

[kirant]

Again, all major people should die at times far apart from one another...like that's at all possible.

[Lucky Flame]

No, they all die in bursts, ugh.

I bet you every member of KoRn will die within the same week, that'd seriously put me into depression.

[VK-Skelton]

It's like Princess Diana's death overshadowing Mother Teresa's. Guess which of those two I cared about more (Hint -...Like you really need a hint for this example)

It's possible that my slight republican sympathies might have a bearing on this, but that always annoyed me.

[Kirino]

Wanna know what would be awesome? If Freddie and Michael recorded a couple songs together. Oh wait, they did! This is seriously an awesome thing. 2 of the best vocalists ever, singing together.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7hrUU-UeHk[hr]
The other song since they won't go into 1 post

[Hammy]

and this less than a week after Ed McMahon died

[Lucky Flame]

Also my step mother's sister died yesterday.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kirino]

Also my step mother's Aunt died yesterday.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!



Okay, who has the Death Note?

Come on, fess up somebody!

[kirant]

New theory: MJ is Light.

[VK-Skelton]

Actually, I just think Light got pissed MJ was aquitted.

[kirant]

My arguement: The defense took advantage of the (unknowledged) jury (which was hard to find, as who HASN'T heard of MJ) by playing the race card as he is Black, and taking advantage of him being whtie. My blunt, racially, politically inappropriate opinion.

[Whitenblade]

What a damn shame to lose such a good person. May he rest in peace.

[nathangonmad]

Hey guys have you heard? MJ isn't going to be bury'd there going to melt him down and make toys out of him, so kids can play with him for once.

[Rhea]

When my parents told me this morning that Michael jackson was dead, I thought they were joking at first.

I can't really say that I'm sad or anything. But I used to listen to his music when I was younger, so it feels a bit weird to know that he's gone. Hmm... Let's just hope people will remember him for his music, and not as "Wacko Jacko", or whatever they called him :/

[kirant]

There's not doubt he'll be remembered for his outstanding career more than anything. I think people will shut up about those MJ jokes and put respect (warranted or not) into his music and life.

Heck, Gary Glitter is a well known pedophile, but his career (More paticularily: Rock and Roll Pt 2) overshadows it.

[Droote]

Wow, he really is dead.

[VK-Skelton]

Posting what is probably my favorite sketch from 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJW_yTbYGoI
What seals it for me is the 'moonwalk'.

[Lucky Flame]

Wow, that is the best thing ever. they didn't totally put MJ down in that so I think it's pretty funny.

[Kona]

i just think its a shame that people in the media get more attention than those who died for us. but its always been like that.

[VK-Skelton]

Wow, that is the best thing ever. they didn't totally put MJ down in that so I think it's pretty funny.


I just like how Stephen Fry isn't even trying to be anyone other than Stephen Fry. For some reason I find that hilarious.

[Lucky Flame]

Yea that's probably what makes it so funny, he's had so many plastic surgeries that he looks like this now XD

[Kirino]

Only the good die young. Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury died so young (since 45 and 50 count as early deaths)

[Lucky Flame]

*changes title*

[Konata_is_Mine]

The children of the world can sleep better now

I liked his music

[jbm0592]

It really is sad that he died, I've always been a big Micheal Jackson fan for a while. It's a pity that I've always wanted him to sign my Thriller album, but now I won't get the chance. =/

[Konata_is_Mine]

Thriller Thriller!
Prisoners can do the thriller too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o

[Lucky Flame]

LOL @ the shemale.

That was really cool, I bet you they were all enjoying that.

[Konata_is_Mine]

^ I don't know, that would be humiliating.

[Lucky Flame]

I would've, but that's just me.

[Konata_is_Mine]

I like to sit in corners and read quietly, though sometimes in crowded places I sing Anime Songs just to watch people's reaction.

[Lucky Flame]

I like to dance in my basement. I'm practicing the moon walk right now, the PROPER moon walk.

[Konata_is_Mine]

lol, the proper one. I do the Hare Hare Yukai in my room allot.

[Lucky Flame]

I still have yet to try Hare Hare Yukai, but I want to try some Smooth Criminal moves first.

[Dally]

lol, the proper one. I do the Hare Hare Yukai in my room allot.



I still have yet to try Hare Hare Yukai, but I want to try some Smooth Criminal moves first.



Its fun! Especially doing Kyon's part! Though Yuki is my favorite dancer... but I'm a guy so I can't do that part.



Which part can't you do? Why would it matter what gender you are? Unless she does like the major splits or something.



1: Haruhi is hard.
2:Just not in public such as Anime con's where Yuki is already taken by girls cosplaying as her.


^ Going off-topic here.....


Anyways, did Michael Jackson REALLY die from a Heart Failure or did they update on how he died?

[Konata_is_Mine]

Ummmm Thanks for the warning!
But I think they have yet to do the Autopsy and find out.

[Lucky Flame]

6-8 week tests.

[Dally]

6-8 week tests.




6-8 WEEKS?! Eh, I understand that, doing these Autopsy stuff ain't easy. I can wait.

[Konata_is_Mine]

^ Even if it is six to eight weeks we probably will know the cause of death before then as most of the tests are for his condition before he died.

[Lucky Flame]

Yea probably, and then there's the whole "doctor suspect" thing.

[Konata_is_Mine]

Yeah, most likely it was something unnatural, not cardiac arrest.

[Lucky Flame]

Yay for controversy.

[nathangonmad]

I read in the mirror (english paper) today that its suspected his drug problem lead to the cardiac arrest.

[Lucky Flame]

Yea I think everyone suspected something like that.

[Konata_is_Mine]

He probably just overdosed.

[Dally]

He probably just overdosed.



Lol, I heard he had an addiction to Painkillers due to the burning of his scalp, I blame the Pyrotechnics who burned his scalp >.>

:(

I have never climbed a tree.... I think I will now.

[VK-Skelton]

I only ever tried that when I was 4. I choose a tree with paticularly weak branches and as such went the rest of my life with an aversion to climbing trees and a mild fear of heights.
So screw that.

[Konata_is_Mine]

Climbing trees is one of my favorite hobbies!!! Where I live the trees are big and sturdy!

[KonataTheAwesome]

........this=now a tree thread :D

[patchis-forest]

my mom calls him "wacko jacko" ever since he... went crazy or something.
and everyone is making a big deal because he's dead.

[VK-Skelton]

So... they say he was murdered. Thoughts?

[Lucky Flame]

So someone stabbed him a bunch of times with a needle? Interesting, I knew something like this would pop up.
