Michael Jackson Has Died
TMZ is reporting that that Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles Times, AP, CNN and CBS all confirm the report. The L.A. Times says doctors pronounced him dead after he arrived at the hospital in a deep coma. He was only 50-years-old.
I really don't know what to say. I am completely shocked. This doesn't feel like real life! TMZ has all the details. I'll write a little more later.
And I'm back (FYI: this part was written a couple of hours later). I just finished watching hours upon hours of Michael Jackson coverage and I still don't really know what to say. I will say that the dude made awesome music. That's a fact. You know you busted your shit to at least one Michael Jackson song in your bedroom, a club, a parking lot, a high school gymnasium, etc... The first time I ever drunkenly fell off the stage at a club, "Scream" was playing. Yes, I remember that. I also remember staying up late to watch the premiere of "Remember the Time" on MTV (back when MTV still played videos). I recorded it over Maid to Over on VHS, just so I could watch it a bunch of times.
Michael Jackson's music will live on forever. Hos will be dancing to it for the rest of eternity. Below is my favorite Michael Jackson song. It's also one of my favorite karaoke songs. I mean, you can't lose when singing about special rat friends:
And here's a few pictures of Michael through the years.

Yeah, he was strange and weird and god knows I wore out the tape I had of the Martin Bashir documentary, but it's weird... now that Michael's dead, all I can think about his legacy.
I feel bad for anyone born after the 1980s, because you'll only ever remember Michael as a freak. As a child, I remember when Michael's music videos were event TV. I think Black or White premiered on prime time, on every channel.
I remember watching MTV (who only started playing music videos again today, BTW), and just waiting for them to play the new Michael video. I remember what a huge deal it was to have Michael and Janet in the same music video. Kids today have no idea... you can watch any Michael video you want at any time on YouTube.
Nobody realizes anymore that Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown are just ripping off Michael. Nor do they realize that Michael borrowed from James Brown and Little Richard (and Gene Kelly- see his pants and socks in An American In Paris and tell me that isn't Michael). I honestly think that in today's low standards, we won't see another legend like MJ again. Think about anyone else who had so much influence on music, dancing and fashion. Shit, my grandmother even knew who Michael Jackson was AND knew the words to his songs.
I honestly thought Michael would outlive us all.... there are so many jokes I could crack, but maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Right now, I feel like my childhood has ended all over again.

Maybe she got in his face about his drug addiction and eating issues, sushi. She was still on terms with him after his trial on child molestation charges. I would put my money on her confronting him about his health. One of the talking heads on CNN said MJ had been addicted to pain killers for the past 20 years.

i never made fun of him and i never thought he was a freak. i bit eccentric maybe but not a freak. and i never believed he hurt those kids either.

i feel ya :( i feel the same way. i never considered myself a fan but grew up listening to his music. i always thought that the word fan was way too big to describe me although i love all his songs. all of em with no exception! i just cannot believe he's gone. i have never seen him in concert and i regret it so much!
he came to my country when i was 12. my sis who's 3 years older went to see him. i could never forgive myslef for wasting such an opportunity. :(

I got the chills when I read about his death.
It is sad that all those people who are now all sad and crying and mourning and twittering about him, werent there whne he was being sued left and right by people because of his money. They all made fun of him and thought he was a freak and abandoned him.

Maybe there's a very good reason for it. Maybe she realized that he was a little freaky when it came to pre-pubescent boys.

BET is playing really good videos if anyone's interested. I think it's starting to hit me that the man is dead. Think what you will (and some of it is probably true), the bottom line is that his parents are now planning their son's funeral. That is some fucked up shit, no matter what the circulmstances are. He and his mother were close so I'm sure she's devestated.

Uh oh. Diane Dimond just put her foot in it. She was talking about how MJ broke down the race barrier and then went on to say he was the first "one" on MTV. First what? Sharpton will be all over that and rightly so.
UGH. Al Sharpton is the ultimate opportunist (not to mention an asshole).
Thanks, riverchic. Sadder than I thought I would be.
This is so sad. Now it's starting to sink in. This is the way I'll always remember Michael Jackson.

EXACTLY. I feel the same way!
It got weird [Jesus Juice, Jesus Juice, Jesus Juice. . .] ad creepy infinitum.
Sushi, I can somewhat see your point (although I think he had 3 fantastic albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad), but the special thing about those albums is that you can listen to each of them all the way through. How many albums can you really say that about -- and for the same artist? He dominated the music industry for a decade. And MJ did pretty much set the bar for the modern music video.

I can't be the only one who thinks his talent is vastly overrated? He put out what, 2 good records, and everything after that was crap. He did the same shit over and over again. His dance moves never changed. The moonwalk was awesome but how many fucking times did this guy grab his crotch? I was a product of the 80s so I danced to some of his tunes too but I think he was incredibly overrated.

It's already happened in my family - two that weren't speaking to each other and then one dies. I thought for a while there the other was going to kill herself. Thankfully, she didn't, but she went through a few hard months and then years until she finally worked through it.

oh heck yes! i think the bh said that the news was reporting he was on a bunch of meds, vicodin -- that and JayzusJuice put him over. Plus he was too skinny even for skinny jeans...

And he was reportedly rehearsing six-plus hours a day. I think the combo of the prescription drugs, his manorexia and overall health was a recipe for disaster.

I'm straight-up bitter about the pedo talk but I HAVE to say that I've read the BEST MJ jokes EVER today. David Carradine was pretty good too but that's also cuz he went out so klassy-like.

He was a musical genius. There will never be another one like him.
He was also mentally ill. I blame his fucked-up father. That man is a monster who ruined his children's lives. I will not mourn the passing of the crazy, reclusive, self-mutilating, child-in-a-man's body, unconvicted pedophile.

Never learned anything that useful in school. My mother taught me how to make a decent drink for friends. I was her little bartender when I was a baby cheese. Ahhh, mama. She also taught me about guns and ammo. What a woman.

And I can't believe how people are glossing over his creepiness. I mean, even if you didn't think he molested kids, the fact that he thought it was fine and dandy to share his bed with boys is just beyond creepy.
Just because he was a celeb and had a shitty family doesn't mean this guy wasn't a fucking creep.
If you didn't like the man, fine. But come on D-Listers. You don't see Michael K bashing a guy who just died to fucking death. Show a *tiny* bit of respect. Shit.
