Goodbye Gary Indiana's gem
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to all nations
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along America's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Goodness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along America's greenest hills
Your candle's burned our long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye America's gem
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye America's gem
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall here
Along America's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Keith Richards , Micky Jaggar, Ozzy Osbourne, and the rest of the geriatric old drug abusers are still walking around this world and MJ had to go. May his soul rest in peace; What about those little kids that he had leaving a certain type of reclusive lifestyle? What will become of them?

What is it about this morbid desire to be the first person to report someone dead, even though it's not been fully confirmed?
Is there some prize being awarded for this?
SLB,
Except that this person was MICHAEL JACKSON!
He was one of the greatest human beings that ever lived.
My 70 years old uncle talks about Michael excitedly, just like my 8 years old nephew will shout Michael Jackson anytime he shows up on TV. I do not know of too many people who cut accross generations like that.
To those of us who grew up as teenagers in the days of 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough' and 'Thriller' it is totally disheartening and personal.
How will the story of my life be complete without tracks like 'Human Nature' and 'She is Out Of My Life?'
Now that he is dead, maybe Oga Abati will allow us to dance to 'Yahooze' It is hard giving up when you grow up in MJ years.
I'll right back people, allow me to shed a few tears for Michael first.

Sad, sad ,sad. What am I going to do with my gloves now?? Sad, sad sad. Why michael did you have to leave us at this point in time. Sad, sad, sad. Why do our icons tend to leave us so early and suddenly without warning or time to prepare?
For the first time in a very long time - I am truly down. Never thought I had it in me. Truly, the greatest entertainer of his time - all of the others rolled into one will not even match up.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE - MAY YOU BE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THE ONE YOU LEFT BEHIND.
Oh dear
I remember back in secondary school
Junior debating soceity I think I was in class 2
My first dance with a boy
The song "wanna be starting something" from the album thriller
Oh my,I miss my childhood.
I'll miss you Michael

Mr. Lee (Kwan Yew - Leader of Singapore): Why should I be against democracy? The British came here, never gave me democracy, except when they were about to leave. But I cannot run my system based on their rules. I have to amend it to fit my people's position. In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion. Supposing I'd run their system here, Malays would vote for Muslims, Indians would vote for Indians, Chinese would vote for Chinese. I would have a constant clash in my Parliament which cannot be resolved because the Chinese majority would always overrule them. So I found a formula that changes that...
As a kid I dreamt of growing up and coming to America and meeting Michael.
I had a huge crush on him
My older cousins had all his records and blasted them in the house daily
As a little girl I knew the lyrics of my one time favourite
Off the wall
Oh I miss you Michael
When I went to hollywood for the first time I couldn't wait to go on Hollywood boulevard and take a picture standing on Michael's star.
I miss you my boo

Strange feelings, for the past four hours I have been like is this really me?
That's the Michael's midas touch. He's got the midas touch.

1st verse
When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you cant hang with the feeling
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
cause were the party people night and day
Livin crazy thats the only way
Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life aint so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
2nd verse
You can shout out all you want to
cause there aint no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there aint no one whos gonna put you down
cause were the party people night and day
Livin crazy thats the only way
Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Cmon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life aint so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Bridge
Do what you want to do
There aint no rules its up to you (aint no rules its all up to you)
Its time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
3rd verse
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get to old

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoyyourself
Cmon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you

Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoyyourself
Cmon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all if you live it off the wall

That's the Michael's midas touch. He's got the midas touch.
Back in the days I was priviledged to have been to have seen him twice in the flesh performing and I confess (yes ke, make una yap) that I was looking forward to the O2 Arena shows - I for go o. This is not a time for retribution, but I think the physical preparations of this tour eventually took his life.
