Holy shit!

Say what you will but his early stuff is great!

apparently this is true. so sad. like I said, I'll ignore his later career and controversy and just appreciate him for his motown work and thriller. RIP.

I hope TMZ is wrong.

eh....

I just read on the New York Post that MJ died of cardiac arrest.

I'm glued to the Beeb they aren't confirming yet.
But leaning that way.

Motown all the way!

RIP.

I really hope he is ok- the world wont be the same without him, and normally I really dont give a fuck about public figures, but Id really miss MJ.

Incredible

First record I ever bought was Bad and it's still a classic for, and tonite just been speking to some friends about them going to see him live in London

I do believe by all the mixed reports, he is faking his death!

Undoubtedly one of, if not the biggest pop star since Elvis. There may not be a bigger star in our lifetime. Really hard to believe that he is dead. Say what you will but damn, what a terrible loss.

Ed McMahon, Farrah, and Michael Jackson...is the "curse of 3s" thing for real or situationally applicable? Whatever...

Ed was a chucklehead, Farrah was a super-hottie circa '79 or so, but Michael was by far the most talented of the lot...don't forget about all his early work with the Jackson 5...the kid could sing! I was never a huge fan back then, but could certainly recognize his talent...too bad that he never could reclaim that '80s glory. I have to wonder what the cause of the cardiac arrest was...

RIP, King of Pop.

David Carradine wasn't part of this "three?" Then what "three" was he part of?

I want to say that I found out about this via "dinosaur media." The person in the cube next to me piped up when her husband called her about Michael Jackson dying. Then I opened up a browser window and went to an old-fashioned web site (tmz.com, undoubtedly the most reliable source out there) to confirm that he had, in fact, assumed room temperature.

I will keep hitting refresh to see whether there's a change in his condition.

FUCK TWITTER.

I think it is confirmed. King of Pop (self-proclaimed) is gone.

Really? I don't see him as having anything to contribute to the world - and he hasn't contributed anything meaningful in 20 +/- years. So I don't see any "loss" as far as the world is concerned.
But then maybe I'm just a heartless a-hole.
I really couldn't care less about 99.9% of celebrity deaths. The last that I can remember that actually reduced the talent of the world were Kurt Cobain, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley.
