A lot of us thought of Siena today. Somehow this makes me very happy, despite the grim circumstances.
I agree Maggs, the world will build him statues and tribute concerts/albums/etc. I can't help but feel anger because of all this.

I can't help remembering the time when I waited like so many other fans for him in front of the hotel and all other places he went to when he was in
Bucharest. And then the concerts - so great, full of life and amazement! I even looked after that photo album this morning.......
I was part of HIStory......and those photos are now part of a past with no more chance to gain shape again. May he rest in peace - his magic will last forever! Edit: found this http://www.acandleformichael.com/

It's so sad !
I grew up with Michael Jackson and today my sons love his videos and even though we are not really fans we were so shocked and sad if we have heard about his death. RIP Michael. We hope you've found now what you've looked for your whole life. Gaby2 |

Our station at the office is playing a lot of his music today. We will be inundated with info..more than we need or want to know in many cases. I will
remember the talent, the charisma and the excitement he brought to music.
RIP
MJ
We can make all the difference in this world.

It will be interesting to see what the toxicology reports say, Jermaine alluded in his press statement last night there might have been something going on
along the lines of what happened to Anna Nicole Smith with prescriptive drug abuse/addiction. So sad either way.

I know I'm gonna get flack for this, but I was never a fan of his. I do feel bad for Siena, but his death does not effect me either way.

I'm one of the few [or are there many] posters on here that grew up and watched Michael Jackson become the phenomenom that he became. I am not a fan of
his but I did like most of his music. Not all but most. He was extremely innovative and talented but had his problems as well.
...... I'm posting here to add support for Siena. Chin up  I know
how much you loved him. I've been reading your thread HI JOSH THIS IS ME from the beginning way back when you first started it. Surprised that people are
interested in what you have to say? I know that I get surprised that people follow some of my threads. 
I don't care if you lick windows, take the special bus or occasionally pee on yourself..
You hang in there sunshine, you're friggin' special. |

12:40 pm... It's a calm and thoughtful winter's day. Yesterday was an odd day to the music history. We've lost one of the greatest pop music icons:
Michael Jackson. For every musician it was a big and meanful lost. It's impossible deny that Jackson will leave forever his mark in the music history.
It's a peaceful day... I'm listening the song that inspired me to write a chronical about the death. Deep reflection... Once again I think about the wise's words... and find out how much we never pay attention to the things that really matters. Everybody runs away from things that remind us sadness and I ask: Why not to face the sadness, the death, the things that bring us pain and tears? After all, are theu that make us grow up, make us strongers to face the life's challenges. And once again I say: is in the though moments that we can stop everything and look inside us and find our best to offer to the peoples around us. Not even we get to face the reality with that vision, specially when the sadness let us blind and the pain looks that will never pass away... But, as anything in this ephemeral life, it pass... And now, with tears in my eyes, even don't being a huge Michael Jackson's fan, I could never leave to let registered my sincere feelings for him, for his family, children and fans. Who could understand his lonely heart? Who could really look deeply inside his eyes and see his young and sad soul? What the showbusiness, the media, and almost everybody have forgotten is that, althought Michael be a very, very talented and the brightest pop star, he was human, and when you are in the media focus all the time, is impossible you get find peace for yourself, because whatever you do or leave to do will have some impact, positive or negative, to someone. He wasn't respected in his private life, just like Lady Di. He had his troubles just like anyone may have! He was human!!! He had that righteousness... But the media always became his troubles in a reason to critic him... And all that he needed was to be understood and loved. I hope he may found love in God's arms... The life is short. But the art endure forever. And I'm sure, Michael will be remembered for his music and talent, and I hope the peoples respect his memory for that.

Public grief has become THE thing to do when tragedy strikes. It was like this when John Lennon died, and Elvis, and Jim Morrison. It is done in my city when
yet another young person becomes a victim of a bullet. Tons of kids group hugging all over the place ON CAMERA, of course. Most of them never knew the person
who died. I find it a bit creepy myself.
No matter how you felt about his strange lifestyle, most of us are remembering the legacy of music and dance that he left behind. Nobody can take that away from him.
THE BUCK DOESN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN HERE - KEEP MOVING!!

Don't forget that David Foster was one of MJ's producers. RIP Michael Jackson. I feel so sad for his family. Life is short and precious. This reminds
me some of when Princess Diana was killed.

Despite not being a fan of Michael's I can appreciate that he was greatly tallented.He grew up in the spotlight and did not have the easiest of
lives.Yes,he may have had some very bad press in recent years but that does not take away from the fact that he had a great tallent.Yes,he may have been called
'wacko' by many in the press in many countries around the world but I would like those people try living the life he had to and remain sane.I pray his
children are given the privacy he was sadly refused during his lifetime.I also pray the world's press will afford him to rest in peace in the way they have
not afforded Diana,princess of Wales.Almost 12 years on and yet the press will not let her rest in peace.May this not be the case for Michael Jackson.What we
the people saw of Michael was likely a very different Michael than that of the private Michael.I just hope and pray the people remember that.May he be
remembered for the music he made and not for the bad press.

I just re-watched the "Thriller" video...what a masterpiece....love it...Michael Jackson was SO popular
during my years in high school....it's difficult for me not to tear up a little over his passing. I think he was an enormously misunderstood
person.

maggs, i just re-watched that link you provided - and you're completely, totally right...that was when he was at his pinnacle, so unbelievably gorgeous, so
unbelievably talented.....from that point, to when "thriller" came out, that was michael at his very very best....that was the michael that i had
such a colossal crush on.....
and michelle, i've re-watched "thriller" a couple of times now, and i can't help but tear up....last night i watched "say say say" with paul mccartney, and i got a lump in my throat.....
