my opinion is that...

WHEN FARRAH FAWSETT ARRIVED AT HEAVEN AND GOD GRANTED HER ONE WISH..SHE WISHED THAT FOR ALL THE CHILDREN TO BE SAFE...SO GOD KILLED MICHAEL JACKSON AND GRANTED HER THE WISH.

Michael Jackson wasn't mentally stable, but he made damn good music. He will always be a legend.

R.I.P, king of pop.

It's too bad. I'm not sure i believe all the things that were said about him (child abuse accusations, in particular), but he was, without any doubts, a very colourful and eccentric character. He was also one of the very few people that made good pop music, and for that, i respect him.

:salute: R.I.P

Michael Jackson was an inspiration and pioneer at what he did. He shaped the music industry for the last 30 years, and will continue to do so for years to come. Off the wall, Thriller and Bad were among my favourite albums of all time and despite his crazy behaviour, no one can deny that his music was fantastic.
