Michael Jackson has died

Ones as young as her and her siblings shouldn't have to go through something like that. It'll happen to all of us eventually, but it's not fair on them. But things like that happen and it's unavoidable. sad

I heard about it on the day it happened and i was gob smacked, i loved his music and his dancing, RIP Michael Jackson, we are all gonna miss you!

Those who pass there spirits will last
because he's gone our hearts are torn
he sung from his soul then he payed the ultimit toll.

I and many other people will miss he this is my tribute.

I grew up listning to his songs...I would always sing along and attempt to copy the dance moves. (especially the moves to Smooth Criminal. That was just pure genius!)

It wasen't just his music I loved. After seeing him in interviews and his home movies, I fell in love with who he was. He came across as a pure hearted angel. He just wanted to have fun and be a child. and he had the most sweetest smile I had ever seen. It made you feel like everything was going to be alright.

Even when he was accused of child molestation, I never doubted him. I knew he was innocent. He wasen't capable of such a thing. I don't think there was a bad bone in his body.

But when I heard he died, it felt like an important part of my childhood was ripped from me. I coulden't stop crying that day...Even now I'll still shed tears..

We lost an angel...But his music and legacy will NEVER die.

R.I.P Michael Jackson. Your in a much better place now.

I Miss you MJ!!

I too cried heavily when he died. He was a huge part of my childhood too. In one of the baby videos my parents recorded of me. I was barely 3 years old and I was seen carrying around MJ's autobiography, looking at it, trying to read it. I even called it "The Mikey Book" since I couldn't really say michael properly at the time.

I cried on and off since I found out, then broke out into waterworks again when I heard his daughter get on stage; watching her break down made me do the same.

Listen I'm sure he did many wonderful things and and many bad things. Anyways it hasn't played a drastic effect on my life and I continue to live about it just as I usually would. Has the world lost someone great?

Yes the world has. Think of it this way: A president can be loved, but it's really just his country that loves him. MJ was loved by the world.

Michael Jackson was practically the most powerful man on Earth. He had the money and the support of the world. If he wanted to be King of the Planet, let's just say the ppl wouldn't object. He's done more for this planet than any President/King/Sultan etc.

Yes, and I think we all didn't just love him for his music. We loved him for who he was.

He was so kind and gentle, not to mention really shy. We was practically a child trapped in a mans body.

Sadly, alot of people never saw this. They thought he was a child molester. That is simply not true. He wasen't capable of such a thing.

Also, if he had become king of the world, I would follow him all the way. He would have definetely made the world a better place.

I'm sick of all the feigned respect for Michael Jackson people have for him now that he's dead. No one ever acted as if he was as important to them before his death as they are now. This kind of bandwagon concern happens every time a famous person dies. It happened last year when Bernie Mac died and everyone started saying how great he was and how good of a comedian he was when, if he had never died, no one would have paid the smallest bit of attention to him.

Not only is the whole process ridiculous and annoying, but it's the most disrespectful thing to the dead person in the world. You don't only voice your love and affection for them when they're dead. It just doesn't work that way. And it's absolutely fascinating that a simple search for "Michael Jackson" reveals that there was only one single person person on the entire forum who listed him as a favorite artist prior to his death. One person in all of the music/band/artist threads on the site. Taco Goddess, congratulations on actually voicing affection for Michael Jackson before he died.

So all of you, stop acting like this whole ordeal affects you on a deeply personal level. It doesn't. Even if you did "actually" enjoy him before he died, stop grieving and move on. Your relationship with him was thus: he made music, you listened to music. The end. You never spoke with him, you never chummed around with him, you probably never even saw him outside of his music unless it was something involving the charges of child molestation against him. You haven't lost a friend, you've barely even lost music from him considering he has a library of over 100 songs to be released now that he's dead.

RedDragonX · Jul 11, 2009 11:49 PM

Altresac does make a very good point. It's as good as someone becoming a Martyr of sorts when they die even though nobody really thought about it while he was alive anyways...I sure as heck didn't. Anyways MJ was FAR from the most beloved person in the world, I can honestly say that for every person I met who liked him I found two who hated him, so you can't really make that claim without knowing the truth.

We've all heard really bad things about him and good things, and we can't disprove any of the negative ones because as he pointed out none of us knew the guy...but I have plenty of evidence to show that he was just a little bit off his rocker.

Either way he's gone...everyone should just move on with it because people are dying every day, and I'm sure some better ones then MJ was.

Hurricos_McBreixo · Jul 12, 2009 1:13 AM

I just want to point out that some of things he did doesn't make him off his rocker. Back when he was a kid it was normal for ppl to see other ppl buy monkeys. My father is the same age as MJ, he's told me stories of his youth about how everyone was going through a monkey fad. MJ buying a monkey doesn't make him insane, that was just the norm when he was younger.

Atresac, I agree wholeheartedly with what you said, but I must disagree with that last paragraph. that there are some ppl like me who this death has affected in a huge way. We didn't have to meet him, just watching his interviews and watching him perform was enough. Some of us feel as if he was a part of our lives, which in my case he practically made up 2/3's of my life thanks to my MJ supporting family, but for us this is not bandwagon jumping. To us, we lost the only person who could've made the planet better.

Wow, ***** much?

Shut up and keep your nasty comments to yourself.

Sorry, did that seem nasty?

Yeah?

GOOD!

Don't do that again. Everyone has a right to have an opinion and I don't want a stupid flame war to break out because of freaking Micheal Jackson.

He had no impact whatsoever on my life and I have enough reason to believe that he might have been a little insane, but it truly doesn't matter anymore. He's dead, thanks to the lovely drugs stuffed down his throat, and I don't want to see everyone crying about it constantly for a month or two or I shall go insane.

Altresac was still very much correct on the fact that before any of this happened MJ was prolly one of the very last things on your mind.

Oh yeah, because you both know SOOOO much about my thoughts. *rolls eyes*

Don't wanna watch the fans cry over the loss of their idol? Stay away from the topic then. Du'h. Commen sense, use it.

you'll probebly give me a warning for that. But meh, I don't really care. This site is getting dull and boring anyway. I'm outta here. Later kiddies.

EDIT- Sorry, it had to be said. You ARE allowed your own opinions. But what you both said just came across as plain cruel and nasty.

John Man 1234 · Jul 12, 2009 1:51 AM

<_< And as usual we got another thing that just happens out of nowhere. Sigh just another day on Spyrofourm. Game Girl there's no reason to be angry RedDragonX and Atresac were just stating what they think nothing wrong with that.

RedDragonX · Jul 12, 2009 1:54 AM

Well wasn't that mature. Amazing, you're supposedly the same age as me and you enjoy holding a pitty party for yourself when something happens that you don't like. Sure he's dead, it's sad, now we have to move on.

Seriously, people today run purely on their emotions and most of the time it annoys the heck out of me, but I didn't assume to know ANYTHING about your thoughts if you took the time to read that post instead of just spatting out the first hateful thought that hit your mind the moment you read the first line.

If that's how you want to view things then fine but you better get use to dealing with a lot of crap you don't like in reality. You pretty much just took the first thing that was semi-true and used it to open more of a pitty fest for yourself, which I really don't care if you do or not, just shows that the only one being immature was you.

Anyways I'm about ready to lock this topic soon anyways so if anyone else has anything to add go for it.

P.S. Oh yeah and being OVER-emotional about most things is gonna screw you over in life just so you know.

Never said there was anything wrong with having an opinion. They just didn't have to be complete a-holes about it.

and RedDragonX? Should his children 'just get over it' too?

Over-emotional? Yeah, maybe I am. But ain't much I can do about it. If you had read something I posted long ago, you would know why I can't help it.

RedDragonX · Jul 12, 2009 2:05 AM

The truth is presented in a harsh manner 90% of the time, another thing you'll have to get use to.

And as for the children comment that's simply an attempt by you to force another pity card into the argument and take the focus off you, and I'd say that the odds are pretty dang good that those are NOT even his kids, God knows who they belong to.

Idc if you're emotional about it for a week, which it has been, but I don't want to see this lasting for months on end. Death is part of life, and his life has been steeped enough in controversy over the last few years that it has put quite a tarnish on his rep.

Maybe he could have made a comeback perhaps, but now we will never know. My heart goes out to his family (If it's even his) but that again has nothing to do with MY life. When you force other pitty issues into it such as that then that's just a little overemotional for me.

Would it matter if they weren't his biological kids? He was the only dad they had. His daughter even said 'He was the best father in the world' at his memorial. Blood relation or not, he was THEIR father.

Yeah, I'm well aware death is a part of life. A very important part at that. But that dosen't make it any easier for people.

and it didn't just put 'quite a tarnish' on his rep. It destroyed him.

you can say what you want. Your entitled to that. But he had an influence that no other celebrity had. Also if it wasen't for him, a little boy would be dead. Don't know what I'm talking about? Look it up.

RedDragonX · Jul 12, 2009 2:29 AM

I know guys who have saved more lives then Micheal Jackson ever has, so don't dare lecture me on the facts of life and death.

I don't trust pretty much anything that the media has to throw out there, but I take what I'm given and the first thing I worry about is my life. This hasn't drastically affected mine either way and I'm content with that.

If it did to yours then you're the one who has to live with the effects. Either way I'm sick of this MJ drama, I'm sure by now somebody somewhere has a forum up about it, go find that.
