Wayne>Kanye, all day, every day.

Kanye is a just a little bitch and Wayne is too leaned most of the time to know what the hell is going on. Even though I did prefer him when you couldn't understand him "she go wobbledy, wiggedbkdgjdf, eajkdhghureg, jkghsjhjem, wit it" to the autotune.

I can't stand either. Hell, if Cher bought the rights I'd be happier than if either of them did.

Cher is too distraught that she spawned a manlady. Maybe George Lucas will buy them and get his bum boy Hayden to record duets.

That would seriously be amazing.

I played my junky thrift store vinyl Off the Wall after I heard. Bye Michael Jackson!

But knowing George, he'd digitally make Michael black again in all the videos and cover art.

And add Jar Jar in there somewhere.

George would cream his Justice League undies at the change to re-edit the video for "Scream"

He'd just make it a Star Wars/Black Jacko clusterfuck and completely cut out Janet.

Do any of you celebrity worshippers know what Barbara Walters did tonight?

I'm told she was going to have a Farrah Fawcett special but then Jacko up & died.

Did she run the Farrah show, or did she slap together a Jacko tribute?

I'm just thinking there could be high comedy in this situation, at least for those who love life's little curveballs.

Dude, Michael Jackson is really dead

That will be hell

i heard some rumor that MJ left the catalogue to macca. i don't think there's any weight to that, though.

The BBC are going way over the top in their coverage with reports of Glastonbury festival goers 'in shock'. It's big deal for 'the pop world' and a few obsessive die hard fans but the idea that fields full of Radiohead fans are even remotely traumatised by the news sounds pretty unlikely to me.

Well shit. I consider myself a fan.
Young Michael Jackson was as brilliant as pop singers come.

RIP

Why's Eddie Murphy laughing at Will Smith's death?

Did Will promise him he could have his roles?

So the Wacko one's finally ascended to Pop Heaven. "Off The Wall" and "Thriller" are great albums, and his childhood was pretty fucked up (his Dad comes across as a right monster). That doesn't excuse him for the lameness of "Earth Song" though, or his frankly creepy Peter Pan persona/obsession.

That and everything surrounding it has been the only interesting thing about him for the past twenty-five years.

sad day for the world..personally i dont give a ..... about michael jackson but with todays media saturation, this is a huge "ewhere were you when" day...like jfk, like ayrton senna, like elvis presley, only a lot bigger.....

rip michael...... thanks for dirty diana/

rip. wacko jacko

In an interview Matt Groening stated that Jacko was a big fan of Bart Simpson (ten year old boy *wink* *wink*) at the time. He even contributed backing vocals on "Do the Bartman" which appeared on "The Simpsons Sing the Blues", released by Geffen records in 1990.

He wrote "Do The Bartman" too.

Bigger than JFK? Are you serious?

John F Kennedy was a respectable human being. Michael Jackson was an overpaid freakshow that used to make good music. Michael Jackson has been dead for 25 years as far as I'm concerned.

To be honest, it didn't even strike me as a big deal when I heard about it yesterday. I just hope they place his fucked up children with someone who might be able to console them through the fact that their crazy daddy touched their friends, made them wear masks, and died looking like a 40 year old woman's vagina was glued to his face.

However, on the other hand...






"He made Thriller, baby. Thriller."

I agree with the Hayden boy.

Yeah, along with Bryan Loren.

Mothballs in the Beefstew!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKmplCJfOf8

Hehe.
"You write the song, and I make some coffee"

just because time has passed since his heyday does not diminish the accomplishments

with the jackson 5, their first 4 singles went to number 1!
damn!

Off the wall, his "solo record" sold 8 million copies!
DAMN!


Thriller at one point was selling 1.5 million units a WEEK! a WEEK!
damn!!!!!

Thriller has sold in excess of 50 million copies. 50 million. that is mindboggling.
Damn!

He had 5 or 6 top ten hits off of thriller alone!

how much did he pay you and yr family to keep quiet, rob????

it was stated in the billboard thread how only once it was worth looking at due to the SY debut

well, just checked Amazon's top sellers, the top 15 albums of all music are Michael Jackson albums with Thriller 25th anniversary at the top

this is the Lennon effect all over, after his Murder, his solo stuff and all the Beatles stuff raced back up

Shit, these corporate bastards plotted a marketing plan that went a bit too far this time.

his total recod sales worldwide was over 700 MILLION.

sick man!

He was the man. Thats for sure

is he still dead?
tried NOT to read all the newspaper headlines...

he was the man in the 80s, and the 90s and 00s just ruined it all. He hadn't done anything new and original worth a damn since Dangerous in 1991

I'm already dreading how terrible the jokes are going to get. Since about 9 o'clock this morning, the jokes have gone from passable - "Apparently, it wasn't a heart attack in the cardiac ward, it was a stroke in the children's ward..." to tenuous shit "Did you hear about Michael Jackson? He died sucking off an 8-year-old hahahahaha".

It's a times like this that I think it's important to be able to fake being really, really offended so no fucker bothers with the shit jokes.

700 million units sold worldwide.

700,000,000 Michael Jackson Fans Can't Be Wrong

and the dude blew most of his money. crazy.

who's gonna take care of blanket????
