Michael Jackson RIP
Michael Jackson RIP
I'd like to pay tribute to MJ for everything he gave to pop music in the years I have been around, and just like Marc Bolan, Freddie Mercury, Phil Lynott, Stuart Adamson & YES even bloody Elvis they will all be sadly missed and never to be replaced.
RIP Michael Jackson

Ditto that - he was still brilliant and nobody would turn out normal living a life like his.
Glad I got to see him about 12 years ago in South Africa.

In all seriousness I have respect for Michael Jacksons work & especially during the period when he produced by Quincy Jones. In time we shall see the fate of his dependant children who I genuinely feel sorry for at this awkward time.
Farrah Fawcett another loss to a tragic illness - A shame with so much money wasted on crap that modern society hasn't conquered this yet.

I think the part where Gary states:pangster wrote:sorry Gary - I didn't realise this thread was purely for MJ fanboys .. maybe you should have made the title a little clearer or the detail in your OP to avoid any confusion? in that you are only allowed to post in this thread if you have PRO MJ comments..
would be clear enough for most people, and not cause confusion.garythefish wrote:I'd like to pay tribute to MJ for everything he gave to pop music....sadly missed and never to be replaced.
Back on topic, it is a shock. This guy was a pure entertainer despite an unorthodox upbringing, and did well despite all the negative comments thrown at him on a daily basis.
RIP.

This thread is a Tribute thread which is why I suggested you start your own.
I like MJ's music, 'Fanboy' would be an over statement.

Cant help but agree. Was nice listening to some of the older tunes on the radio today though.pangster wrote:it's like saying you feel sorry for a mass murderer because they were beaten by their dad when they were younger (and most claim to have been).. bottom line is they're still a mass murderer!!.. undoubtedly MJ was a talent in the music world, but in the bigger picture I don't think his contribution to music should cover up the fact he was a child molester and clearly mentally unstable.. in any case I guess it's one less paedo to worry about!!..
my own acoutic tribute to michael jackson,knocked it up quick this morning,i love the song and the era it comes from,shame he went silly at the end

I've been a fan of Michael Jackson for as long as I can remember and in my teens I went to watch him in his Bad concert at Wembley. That concert was amazing, his performance was outstanding and has never been matched and never will be.
I'm also one of the million who paid £75 a ticket to see him in August at the O2 Arena, along with my teenage sons. To say I'm sad would be an understatement, and thats not because I stand to loose my money but the fact that I'm not going to be able to share that amazing experience I had watching him all those years back with my boys.
His music will live on for ever!
RIP Michael

Ok, folks, enough already. Any more bickering and the thread will be locked.

do you actually like driving at all or are cars to you just a manifestation of some sort of pathological mother complex ?
Despite numerous allegations over the recent years about his private life - I am very sad to see the passing away of one of the giants of the music scene ever and probably the biggest star of our (or mine at least) generation. His music and dancing ability inspired many people and brought joy to all.
RIP MJ

Very sad but I had a feeling somehow he wouldn't be able to pull off his new round of live performances, I guess the pressure was too much.
Funny I remember him more for his fantastic videos than the music itself and for that it would have been a poorer world without his artistry. Music wise it would have to be the Jackson 5, right time and mood for the 70's. I loved my Raleigh Chopper too

I didn't hear about MJ's death until this morning on the radio, I was stunned.
Every radio station in my area were playing his music all day, I drove to and from work today with his music playing and felt it was the right thing to do. Celebrate his music - celebrate him as an entertainer.
We will never know his private life and why should we. Who are we to make assumptions and accuse, what do we really know?
He will physically be missed by those that he was close to, his music will live on forever.

Sad news. RIP, Michael.
The first album I ever owned was Bad. My father bought it for me and I remember fondly being driven around in his e30 with the cassette playing. I have a lot of good memories from my childhood that certain songs of his bring back clear as day.
As a singer/writer/performing artist he is irreplaceable.
