MJ was awesome. He was a bit messed up in the recent years but I don't think it was all his fault. The Thriller album is one of the best albums of all time..


But Seriously though, did anyone hear that his death was related to a hereditary condition? Turns out it was a flaw in his billy gene.

:lol: I have to admit, that was pretty good...

I have two older siblings, so I heard plenty of MJ growing up. And, I totally agree - Michael Jackson was an amazing artist.

I think all of us strive to be the best at what we do, and Michael was an absolute master of his craft. You have to admire that, regardless of the scandals and allegations.

lest not forget Michael jackson was not the only icon that died yesterday..
Farrah Fawcett was in her own right a mega-galactic-i wanna bone kinda star as well. i guess if she slept with young boys maybe more people would have "mourned" her death.

As sad as that may be.. that's one of the few reasons I even knew who Michael Jackson was. Although I've heard some of his more famous music quite a few times, if it wasn't for the news I wouldn't have thought twice about who had sung those songs.

It should have been Robert Pattinson.

He was a great singer and dancer, and unfortunately he is dead.

And this isn't as bad as a few other communities I'm apart of. Ah, hundreds of these damn threads!

It was a big shock. RIP Michael Jackson.

I heard about this during my prom 2 nights ago, I thought it was a joke, we all had a bit to drink, so I just thought someone was taking the mick...

Then the DJ makes the announcment, and thriller and Billy jean come on, as soon as I get home, I stick the telly on, and there it is, in large letter on sky new "Michael Jackson is dead", I could hardly believe it!

It's terrible, forget the scandals, and the hype, his music was something everyone could sing and dance along to without feeling like a complete idiot, but I guess it's all over now.

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

I must admit, he did have some really good stuff back in the day, and he was perfectly normal back then...

Michael Jackson was a fucking badass. Thinking that there will be no more "Black or White," "Billy Jean," "Smooth Criminal," "Bad," etc. is a very sad thought.

He will be missed.
