I feel sad that his children are fatherless, but... that's about it. He gave me a creepy feeling when I first saw him on tv.
There is a decent argument that those kids would be a mess when they grew up based on his erratic and odd behavior. He turned into a freak show. Hopefully somebody will take care of them and they will now have a slim chance at a normal life. As normal as could be possible given who the father was and how they were raised.

Freak show or not he was their father.

It's funny how the public remembers people for their scandals and not their greatness.

Well, most news shows only cover bad and when you are blasted with bad shit going on... that is all that you tend to learn.

The good stuff never makes ratings, most of the time; therefore, it is not shown. :thumbdown

i thought if your acquitted of charges you're found innocent. why bring up the bad in a tribute to someone minutes after they pass away.

imagine you're life story being told and the negatives being focus

I loved the music he made when he was a black woman. Donnie was making jokes about him this morning, which is kinda odd.

Being found not guilty does not mean you were innocent.

All it means is they did not find you guilty as there was insufficient evidence to convict. There is a huge difference.

Good lawyers being paid millions can work wonders.

Just ask OJ ;)

And I was unaware this was a tribute thread. I thought it was an announcement

The most accurate news is from Singapore.

LOS ANGELES - POP giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died on Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.
'We've just learned Michael Jackson has died,' TMZ said. The Los Angeles Times also reported that Jackson had died, citing city and law enforcement sources.
'Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back,' the entertainment site said.
There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.
Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said that the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer's home.
The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Centre hospital.
Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer, whose hits include 'Thriller' and 'Billie Jean,' had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months.
The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within hours of going on sale in March.
Jackson started out as a child star in the band 'The Jackson 5' more than 40 years ago.
He has lived as a virtual recluse since his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation.
There have been concerns about Jackson's health in recent years but the promoters of the London shows, AEG Live, said in March that Jackson had passed a 4-1/2 hour physical examination with independent doctors. -- REUTERS
