SAD, the megastar of pop music...sad day..
His music will live on forever
Yea, let's celebrate the life of a pedophile. That's nice.
You don't know if he was a pedophile. Shut up.
The guy chose to settle out of court. If that does not scream guilty, I don't know what does.
Good way to stay cl***y is bash them when they are dead good job *claps* RIP
Fitting that this black turned white plastic surgery obsessed freak will be remembered more for his ghastly antics than his music.
This mentally deranged sick freak ceased being relevant years ago.
Amazing how such tragic news can bring out the worse in some people. Please remember, whether he was relevant or not, he was someone's son, brother, and father. Try to remember what your parents probably taught you as a young child, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all!
RIP MJ!
I'm not a MJ fan at all, just never my kind of music. Then with all the scandal...well it was always hard to get on the bandwagon. Nevertheless, regardless of impact he had on the music industry, and regardless of what he may or may not have done that was wrong, it is always in bad taste to celebrate someone's death. Grow up.
Stop bashing him about his personal life. It's not our business. One sure thing : he is an icon of american pop culture.
He was a genius in american music industry, we celebrate that nothing more. His talent will never be forgotten like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Louis Amstrong, James Brown,Bob Marley.
He is a Legend.
