I was rather surprised to hear about it, but that's mostly from the odd way that I was told the news. (you'll find almost anything surprising when the people you've spent the last twenty or more minutes with suddenly all know some news you don't)
Other than that I'm rather indifferent.

I was never directly a fan of MJ, though Thriller if always good for a laugh... I was surprised that his death was accepted (at least in my immediate community) without any a**-hats getting sloshed and throwing "goodbye Michael" parties. He's kind of a big deal around here, even now.

Anyway, hopefully his family is alright in the wake of his death, since I believe they all had some feuds going around for the last decade or so...

I was greatly affected by the loss of Michael Jackson.
I'm too an 80's music lover and his songs were inspiring and touching. Some may not think so, but that's their opinion.
Michael had a unique style to him as well as his dance moves and his infamous moon walk.
As I've heard, Michael's been sick for quite sometime. (No, not sick mentally, jackoffs. He didn't bleach his skin; he did have a skin disorder which is real because I know a girl that has it as well.)
We never really noticed it because of the trials of him "touching" little boys. And the whole "make Michael's body out of plastic and making it into lego for the little boys to play with him", yeah, that's childish.
Everyone keeps bashing him even when he's dead. Honestly? Can't some people just let the man rest in peace like he should be? It's childish and immaturish.
And about the whole specials about Michael, all the stations will do a history about someone who has recently passed. It will cool down in a couple of days, so hold your panties on. Yeesh! (Nowadays, there's basically nothing good on tv...)

Michael had a great impact on the music world. A lot of bands had redone his songs and that just shows how much he did have an impretion.

I was affected by the loss of Michael Jackson quite a bit.
I love his music, his dances I loved him, and I think he was
just plain amazing, I dont think we will ever see anyone like
him again. There is a lot of things people could say about him
good and bad but I think the good should be focused on cause
they were amazing things. His dance moves are mimic'd (spelling)
by tons of people but no one can do them better.

Anyways like I said I was saddened a lot and it was very surprising
he made a hug impact on the music world and he will always be the
king of pop. R.I.P Michael heart

My thoughts on his death are that people should just leave him alone. Now reports say that he is not the bio father of his kids. But California state law says if a woman gives birth while married her spouse is indefinitely the father bio or not. So i think everyone should just let him rest in peace exclaim exclaim

Michael Jackson, imho, kicked a**, at least in the first half of his carreer, it became a bit awkward later.
His death doesn't phaze me too much, though, since his good songs have already been made razz

That salesman guy I don't care about at all. But then again, I don't watch those shows.

Ah well...

I'm a bit of a fan of a lot of his work. And to be honest, the day after he died I had a dance practice and we stretched to like 10 of his songs and we all become a tad teary eyed. But after that I soon stopped thinking of it

I didn't really care too much about him, but it makes me laugh how everyone who considered him the child molesting devil is now considering him a hero. It sucks that he died, for all the fans, but i'm getting sick of hearing about this everyday. Seriously, almost as bad as Anna Nicole. Almost.

The thing is, not a lot of people listened to him these past years because of all the controversy. There was not sufficient evidence to show that he was guilty. The case turned into a "HE DID THIS" court case. He just payed money because the charges went on for a long time, straining his health. Despite that, people looked down on him. His name turned into a bad one.

I think that his death reminds people that he wasn't just a bleached man blamed for horrible things; He was a singer, a musician, a dancer, a founder of today's music, a man who tried to pull down racial barriers and let the world come together.

When you read about his death, talk about his death, and watch videos about his death, you begin to see and learn that he was more than who you thought he was.

We are the children.
It's up to us to make our brighter days.
