Its funny i forgot about Ed...i was thinking maybe Liza or Liz Taylor must be a tad nervous right about now. Michael Jackson was a stunner. We just heard it on the news here at 6 on channel 5 in Boston.
 
Maybe now--

his spirit will have some peace, and I hope, in time, his legacy will be more about the music.

Who confirmed Jackson's death? AP/Reuters still has him as hospitalized (3:18 PST).
 
> he pioneered the pop video as a movie form.

That accolade belongs to the Beatles (A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Yellow Submarine). Jackson's Thriller was the first extended length song video.

Speaking of the Beatles, did Jackson still have publishing rights to the Lennon/McCartney catalog? If so, I wonder what's going to happen to it.
 
God bless America. (That's for you PeteK!) LOL

Where else can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman?

I he didnt have the self-loathing for his race and his sexuality he'd have been HUGE(er)

Many say he snapped when his father was shctooping women on tour and he was caught (as a young child) between alliance to his mother and his father.

Maybe now this tormented soul can find peace.
 
i thought the world of Mike, even my 70 year old mom said, " i don't believe that about Mike", during the scandal. Rest in Peace Mike. alr2903
 
Jackson was rehearsing for a 50-show tour this summer, and I bet the stress killed him. Imagine being 50 years old and expected to perform with the same energy as when you were 20.
 
Oh it'll be a field month for Jackson's critics.

Personally I'll remember him as one of five brothers, the most talented member of a rather talented family.

Yes, JeffG, I believe he still owns the rights to the Beatles's catalog----which goes to show just how rich he was during the Thriller/Bad period, that he could outbid freakin' Paul McCartney for rights to the songs McCartney & Lennon wrote.
 
Eugene, the auction was for ATV's 4000+ song catalog, not just the Beatles stuff. McCartney could have afforded it, but as co-author he was/is receiving 25% of the publishing money, so it didn't make any sense for him to bid more than the $47 million it sold for.

Still I wonder what's going to happen with the catalog. Sony already had 50% of Jackson's stake in ATV, and he died heavily in debt.
 
Could it be this death is being faked? First we heard he was in a "deep coma" at UCLA, one of the pre-eminent hospitals in the entire world, then he died?
 
All I can say that the world has come to a halt for a double shocking death that occured today,
and I'm still shaking my head!

I will take 1 St. Johns warts to relax the mind for bed and 2 LunaSom to keep me asleep!

All natural health aid for me....
 
whirlcool... you go man!

Sorry, but I did get a chuckle of your post. One time, my brother said I looked 'pale.' I quickly replied "It's my new Michael Jackson Skin Care Products I am using"

The scary part is that he wasn't sure if I was kidding or not!
 
Imagine being 50 years old and expected to perform with the

Well, if Tina Turner and Cher can do it and are well into their 60's, I'm sure he could have done it in his 50's had he been in better health. One story I have heard is that there was a possibility of the pain killers he was on that may have contributed to his cardiac arrest. Apparently the stress and his health was a great factor for his death, and that he was put on pain killers so he could rehearse and get in shape for the upcoming tour. But then people are wondering if he and Farrah Fawcett were good friends, and maybe hearing of her death today as well, put him over the edge. Who knows. All I know is despite the scandals he went through and the torment he got, and I'm sure will still get, regarding the sex abuse allegations, and his physical changes over the years, he was still one of the best artists in recorded history. I personally am a fan of Michael Jackson, and grew up listening to a lot of his music. Most of his newer stuff didn't appeal to me, but from Thriller and before, I listen to all the time. I just hope that he can now rest in peace, and always be remembered as The King Of Pop, for the awesome music he produced over 4 decades. It's just so sad that he had to go at such a young age. Rest in peace, Michael.
 
So Sad!

I will say that I'm a HUGE MJ fan. I even have some songs on my MP3 player right now that were added last week. I think my favorite song by him was "Billie Jean". Loved the video too.

However, I'm sure most of you got an email on this a few years ago..."Joan Crawford's Long Lost Daughter". Not trying to be mean, but I'm sure you all will get a kick out of the pic again. RIP Michael (and Farrah. You were one HOT Angel!)!

I'm sorry but this story is stinking worse and worse as time goes on.

First we were told Jackson wasn't breathing when paramedics arrived at his house. Now we're being told the paramedics worked on Jackson at his home for 45 MINUTES before taking him to the hospital. AND they're claiming Jackson was in a coma when he arrived at UCLA. And then he died?

This sure doesn't sound like any cardiac arrest I've heard of. In fact, other than a drug overdose, I can't think of a single medical condition where all four of the above claims should (or even could) be true.

If it was a heart attack or cardiac arrest, there's no reason to "work" on him for 45 minutes before taking him to a hospital. He was either breathing or he wasn't, and his heart was either beating or it wasn't.

Well at least Michael went quickly. My uncle had a heart attack in his kitchen one morning. He just collapsed. He was taken to the hospital and he survived, but his heart was severely damaged during the cardiac event.
When I saw him I asked him if it hurt before and during the incident. His response: He said no it didn't hurt at all. He remembers pouring his coffee into his cup and then he was "fast forwarded" to his hospital bed. He had to ask the nurse how he got there. He had no memory of anything else.
