Ditto. Whatever else you could say about this man, he was always one heck of a good showperson, and albums like Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad remain a testament to that. So great was the impact he made within the time he had that it's kind of hard, at the moment, to believe that he's gone so suddenly.

I never did quite figure out that whole Moonwalker movie thing, but they did make a really entertaining video game out of it. Well, I liked it.

R.I.P. MJ.

Love him or not, it was definitely a huge surprise. It's not been a good week for entertainment. I grew up hearing Michael Jackson's songs and really enjoyed the work he put out. I was not happy with some of the things he did later in life, but I respected the man's talent. I was speechless, when I heard about MJ's death.

So... are they going to bury him, or put him in a recycle bin?

Seriously, though, this is sad. The kid could really dance, had a lot of talent, but got completely wrecked in a way that only fame can wreck you.

I'll be honest, I was never a big fan of Michael Jackson, but he was, without any doubt, very talented at what he did. I remember seeing one of his videos when I was little and being struck by his voice, his appearance and his dance moves. He will be missed.

Say what you want about this guy, and even though majority frequently joked about him, we all knew he was ana amazing guy, who had talent like no other.

Roger Ebert summed it up best in his blog, MJ was a kid that never learned how to grow up. He had a hard life too, being mentally and physically abused by his father, still enduring, soon sorting to all differant things to prevent him from facing the world.

Rest in Peace Michael, you'll always be the King of Pop.

Here's something I found today. I do hope this doesn't add insult to this tragic passing, as I wasn't a fan of him, but I do feel for those who were.

In an article on the website WorstPreviews.com, the Sacha Baron Cohen movie Bruno featured a scene where Sacha interviews an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson and makes fun of her brother for his high-pitched voice and his trademark white glove.

BUT, DON'T BE INSULTED! The good news is that after hearing of Michael's passing, Universal and the filmmakers made some quick edits to the scene and to keep Michael's name out of the film. Universal will release the movie and will likely NOT put the Michael Jackson jokes back in.

To all the great things that have already been said about this INCREDIBLE entertainer... Ditto!

God's speed, King of Pop.
Heaven must have one hell of a musical superstar roster by now.
