Bummers. Lot's of people may bust out the little kiddy jokes, but he was a great performer and I love a bunch of his songs. RIP

Wow, what a sad end to an unusual person.

 

No matter what anyone says about him Michael Jackson is and will always be the king of pop in the music industry. Music would not be where it is today if it were'nt for his great influence in the music world. He will always be the man. Nuff said. R.I.P
