Overly mawkish media coverage to the passing of a sick paedophile.
Should have been shot in the head and buried in the ground ages ago,good singer and dancer,or not good singer and dancer.
Just an opinion.
Everybody always loves you when you are dead.
Greatest soul singer? Jackson? Better than Al Green. No way.
Greatest showman? Better than James Brown? No way.
Greatest 80s producer/performer? First black breakthru on MTV? Wait, wasn't that Prince?
Greatest inspiration? maybe for making exaggerated dance moves while lip syncing? Sure, thank you Michael.
Whilst I kinda feel sorry for him..........isn't there ANYTHING else on TV tonight...............
Didnt meet one person at the 'festival' who gave a monkeys tbh..........
See what I did there?
Jackson creates disco "The Orb" a decade earlier!
Either that or a prediction of what would happen to his soul when he died.
Trippy!!! Must see.

Bearing in mind the Quincy Jones link I imagine he was made aware of them, doubt if it stuck in his memory.

I think it was something more like 10 albums in 37 years. He did 4 solo albums before Off The Wall.
Jackson actually played a major role in spreading the popularity of EDM in its various forms across the world. Whether it be through influencing electro in Bollywood or Hip Hop in Korea.
He was a musical genius who progressively lost the plot.
Maybe there's more of a case against the kiddie fiddling charges, looking at the whole picture. I couldn't buy his music after that, but I really hope he wasn't that verminous.
RIP anyway...
I have heard Thriller more in the past 72 hours than at any other point in my life.
Please help.

Although, to be fair, he did own the publishing rights to a sizable (and lucrative) catalog of music.
Er, courtesy of Lennon & McCartney's talents.

That's true for me too. Lots of the morning chatshows were dominated by news about Michael Jackson for the past few days..including never before seen rare footage of the concert in Japan, circa 1987. Some of that was interesting to see, as it was rare...but yeah I think the media coverage is a bit too much.

At least we didnt have to hear about dodgy MP's expenses and general doom n gloom for a few days.
And youre gonna get media going overboard on this one. He was the most successful recording artist of all time (past, present and future) and probably the most famous person in the whole world.

I kinda expected the media overboard thing...even this young teenager whom I teach English too knew who his name, even though she doesn't know much about non-Japanese music. (Interestingly her first impression upon hearing Michael Jackson's songs were that she thought he sounded like a girl.)
Some larger issues are happening in the world, like troops moving out of Iraqi cities, Iran having a recount, etc. and Mikeal is still eclipsing these on credible shows three days after his death. 
did you truly love michael jackson?
then join the bidding war for this unique collector's item.
The great news for those of you who hate Jacko is he has considerably more leftovers than NO's 7 tracks from WFTSC's sessions.
He recorded over 40 tracks for BAD alone. So he could have around 100 by my reckoning (enough for, say, 8 albums!!).
Very eerie just watching news clip of him rehearsing "They Dont Care About Us" 2 days before his death.
What a wierd, talented, naive, possibly dodgy, genius he was.
That video is amazing. He dances like somebody's Dad.
Which is ironic, when you think about it.
