Michael Jackson Dead

Michael Jackson was apparently pronounced dead 11:25pm today

Dont know what to say

I'm shocked. Seems very surreal.

I remember trying to do the moonwalk on my Nan's lino after seeing the Billy Jean video when I was a kid. Still can't do it.

I kind of missed the mj thing. was born a little to late.

As weird as he got, I still love Thriller. One of the best albums ever.

So yeah I'm kinda sad to see him go before he had a chance at one last comeback.

well tbh Off the wall and thriller were the only good albums tbh so after that he was just overated but yeah those two albums (especially off the wall) were amongst my fave.

Its a sad loss for his kids (if they are indeed his) but man he did have one hell of a life

There were some songs on Bad & Dangerous I really like (Bad, Remember the Time, Way You Make Me Feel, Give In To Me etc)...and of course the Jackson 5 stuff was the best!
Yeah it's gonna be sad for the kids. I don't think they even know their mother.

And now I'm wanting to get that Hot Toys figure but it's pretty much pre-sold out everywhere.

Bad and Dangerous are the ones I'm most familiar with. The radio played loads of MJ songs at work today, it was a pretty cool tribute and nobody in the office had a bad word to say.

I think his funeral will be pretty crazy if it is public, I don't think it will be for a few weeks though.

it'll be the equivelant of a state funeral imo

I was listening to Off the Wall again its still awesome. More i think about the more it dawns what a huge star he was lol

Dude, I had the Thriller jacket in elementary school!

Then once we got into middle school Prince & Madonna kinda took over. Then by the time I got to high school I was a full on heavy metal head-banger.
Then in college it was all grunge & thrash. So now that I'm older I'm into a little of everything and probably have the most warped iPod playlist ever!

Did you actually wear it?

I remember that you could buy those down the Sunday market.

HAHAHA good lord you had that thing? that cost a fucking fortune in the day (the proper leather one was £200 if i remember correctly)

I went from Funk to house and now its all a mixture just like you gol

Hell yeah I wore it! Well, until the nerds started wearing them and then they became uncool.
I have no idea how much my mom paid but it must have been a lot cause it was in layaway for a month. Also had the matching red parachute pants!
Of course the ghetto kids had the cheap vinyl rip-offs from the flea market.

I just noticed the HT Billie Jean figure is sold-out everywhere and is going for $300+ on eBay! Maybe I'll get one cheaper at ComicCon.
