Hail to the Prince!

I'm glad he's dead. The last twenty years can't have been great for him.

He was once the greatest pop artist alive. How he fell from grace... Poor guy.

And now he'll be rightfully remembered for some of the greatest music ever made. Hooray!

RIP.

Yep - he sure did lose his marbles late 80's.. And yeah - hopefully he'll be remembered for the good times, and for an example of how things can go wrong if you don't get your shit together.

TIME FOR A MOONWALK AW!

I was actually kinda fond of a few of his songs..

We had a pretty lengthy talk on vent about it I guess.

In all seriousness, I don't know what to think.

On one hand, he used to be made of win.

And on the other, the past 20 years he emmited aids and fail from everywhere, and kept on till some of his fans felt ashamed of him.

I really don't know what to think.

The power of art, dude...

You can't really take away from him the awesome body of work that he created throughout his 20 year reign as the King of Pop.

Sure, he fell from grace, but a) that wasn't entirely his fault and b) who cares.

It's not that we're in love with the person anyway, we're in love with the music. The same way you're not really in love with a film star, you're in love with his/her films.

Artists are raised up above the rest of society in such a way that you probably shouldn't think of them as 'people' or 'aw, I'll miss him' or 'damn, that guy's sick'. To be honest, you have absolutely no idea who or what he is -- only that his artistic creation -- his MUSIC -- was absolutely awesome.

And thus he should RIP. Or turn into a zombie and lurch around the streets singing and dancing. Whatever works.

R.I.P

Seems like he needed peace.

That man was broken by success.

He was a great performer. It's almost sad that he didnt die younger so he could join the ranks of - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain etc.

Yes and no. His youth wasn't exactly normal. The abuse from his father when he didn't want to sing with jackson five or whenever he made mistake during concerts doesn't really help to create a 'normal' personality.

It all went downhill when he got hit in the face with the fireworks.

R.I.P. tbh.

He was a great artist. Though he let people get the best of him. And he was kind of a freak.

MJ was king of pop but the god is SIGN HERE. That is damn sexy even from my male white middle-aged perspective.
