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?
And then there's Etta James. Guess that stuff cures the body.
Michael's truly one iconic figure who's bound to live in our hearts from this moment forward. My heart is sooooo heavy. But Michael was tired. I'd hoped his Euro tour would end successfully to bring him some modicum of happiness considering all the events over the last several years. "Never Can Say Goodbye", my dear.
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.
So do I. You may have seen the photo and story about his regimen just recently. Desiring to reignite his career and preparing for the concert simply took its toll. I heard he had surgery just last week for some type of skin cancer.
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.
This one has rocked me like no other. The interesting thing is I've had thoughts of his succumbing over the last several month, but thought how ridiculous.
What a fateful day in history... Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, two great icons both exit this sinful world on the same day... very surreal and strange twist of fate...
Yet another jolting reminder of the transient nature of our fragile existence on this side of eternity... it all formed the central subject of bible study with the kids this evening... when that day comes for each of us, will we be ready and worthy of his presence?
What a day... what a very sad day... seems MJ knew something was critically wrong, given his surreal announcement in London where he declared that the upcoming concert was going to be the 'final curtain' call... he probably hoped to make some money for his kids before exiting... that I guess, was not meant to be. Man proposes and God disposes...

I remember vividly In the early 80’s, a cartoon about Aliens landing on earth and asking to be taking to the President of the world…. And behold Michael was Introduced to the Aliens as the World President……
The above illustrates the significance of Michael as the first and only true superstar that cut across the world and can be claimed as their's by any country, race or music genre.
R.I.P Michael….. the tabloids can’t harm you anymore with their lies…

Even the world wide web stopped on account of this sad news so u c y i have been speechless.
Web slows after Jackson's death
By Maggie Shiels
Technology reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley
The sheer number of queries concerned Google
The internet suffered a number of slowdowns as people the world over rushed to verify accounts of Michael Jackson's death.
Search giant Google confirmed to the BBC that when the news first broke it feared it was under attack.
Millions of people who Googled the star's name were greeted with an error page rather than a list of results.
It warned users "your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application".
"It's true that between approximately 2.40PM Pacific and 3.15PM Pacific, some Google News users experienced difficulty accessing search results for queries related to Michael Jackson and saw the error page," said Google spokesman Gabriel Stricker.
It was around this time that the singer was officially pronounced dead.
Google's trends page showed that searches for Michael Jackson had reached such a volume that in its so called "hotness" gauge the topic was rated "volcanic".
Fail
Google was not the only company overwhelmed by the public's clamour for information.
The microblogging service Twitter crashed with the sheer volume of people using the service.
Searches for topics related to Michael Jackson peaked at 3PM Pacific
Queries about the star soon rocketed to the top of its updates and searches. But the amount of traffic meant it suffered one of its well-known outages.
Before the company's servers crashed, TweetVolume noted that "Michael Jackson" appeared in more than 66,500 Twitter updates.
According to initial data from Trendrr, a Web service that tracks activity on social media sites, the number of Twitter posts Thursday afternoon containing "Michael Jackson" totaled more than 100,000 per hour.
That put news of Jackson's death at least on par with the Iran protests, as Twitter posts about Iran topped 100,000 per hour on June 16 and eventually climbed to 220,000 per hour.
Early reports of Mr Jackson's death and the confusion surrounding it caused a rash of changes and corrections to be made on his Wikipedia page as editors tried to keep up with events and the number of people trying to update the page.
TMZ, the popular celebrity gossip site that broke the story following a tip-off that a paramedic had visited the singers home also crashed.
There was a domino effect as users then fled to other sites. Hollywood gossip writer Perez Hilton's site was among those to flame out.
Keynote Systems reported that its monitoring showed performance problems for the web sites of AOL, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Yahoo.
Beginning at 2.30PM Pacific "the average speed for downloading news sites doubled from less than four seconds to almost nine seconds," said Shawn White, Keynote's director of external operations.
He told Data Center Knowledge that "during the same period, the average availability of sites on the index dropped from almost 100% to 86%".
Adieu Michael, the GREATEST ENTERTAINER of 'em all!!
Death, your cruel hands snatches away yet another shining beacon from within us. Michael, Rest in Eternal Peace.

Thanks Valtee for rekindling the memories of past. Those two videos brought teardrops to my eyes, and i tell you if i shed a teardrop or two, that's a sign of the measure of Michael Jackson whether dead or alive. RIP Michael J!!

Yep, and my most favourite and memorable of his song used in any advert or movies is "Heal the world". This song had a profound effect on me and still does. And when it was used for Coca cola advert, it became my best advert ever. I can never forget the sea of children with lit candle in their hands all sing to the song.It stirs such deep emotions in me that words can't even begin to describe. Here's Heal The World

shocking and sad, this passing of MJ
he was an enigma, seemed so tortured and alone
so frail and vulnerable toward the end
yet he gave so much, had so much in terms of fans, family & fame
time was when Off The Wall was a daily diet in my home
loud & blaring, check my sister's liver, i'm sure the lyrics are carved on it
he was like no other
he will be sorely missed
