Terrible news just breaking. Firstly my thoughts go out to Mr Jackson's family.
I can't think of any link at all between MK and Michael Jackson - is anyone aware of a link??
Professionally, he was a fantastic dancer/showman, and also a great songwriter. (I'm purposely not commenting on anything libelous, and would ask any other
posters to do the same).
My thoughts are with him, 50 is no age.

Thriller was a Killer album, a real ground breaker. I think he was a gentle sensitive soul who was abused supposedly by his Dad and seemingly was unable to
come to terms with it. I am saddened by the loss of another genius who gave so much to so many.

In spite of what Micheal Jackson became, this is very sad news indeed.
Terry Wogan said this morning that he will be remembered as a tragic figure, and I have to agree. One of the Gibb brothers also commented that he was a
'victim of society', which in my opinion pretty much sums it all up - Jackson was the ultimate tragic example of the effects of fame, and having become
famous before he even had a chance to live an ordinary life. I was never a huge fan, but I do hope that people will break through the complicated character
that he was and remember the music.

Either you like him as a person or not, was he probably the best entertainer and performer ever. 750 million albums sold,, Not too bad.

He was a very talented star as his huge sales show. However, if he had been a very talented plumber there is a great possibility he would have spent the rest
of his life in prison. I think he surrounded himself with unscrupulous people.

He was an exceptional and influential talent. Magnetic and hypnotic on stage.. . . . yet, he gave it up. Society- - - - environment - - - we are all
responsible for our own actions. It is true, he was a pitiable figure who needed help. Unfortunately for him, and for the music world, he sought the wrong kind
of help, and he ultimately let it destroy him. We have his 70s, and 80s work. What might he have done had he ever found peace with who he really was?
