Unbelievable. Very upset to hear about Michael's death this evening. What a fantastic contribution he made to the music industry, not just as a solo artist but with the Jackson 5 too. I grew up with his music; his dancing and talent was something else, absolutely brilliant. God bless him, regardless of any controversy he had in life.
Are any other Beoworlders Michael Jackson fans too?
Simon.
not a fan but my wife is! Listen right now Michael Jackson- The Ultimate Collection through my Beolab 5 speakers. Stunning...
Sad when someone leave this world at 50....
God bless him...
Not a fan - but 50 is far too young :(
Huge fan. 50 is young but with all the talk and triviality about other people in the public eye, I can't help but think, 'what a ride...'
I also can't help but think that the next 10+ years would be more court cases, legal wrangling and probably another album, not up to scratch, from a genius who had unfortunately lost the spark that he had in the 70/80s.
Please don't get me wrong on this, I own all the albums, I respect him immensely, and between the music, the presentation and the performance, he was a true musical genius. I suspect that in some ways he'll live on as a Hendrix or an Elvis or a John Lennon rather than being torn apart by the media. I just find it typically awful that the same news corporations that destroyed him now have solemn obituaries and 24h news coverage reporting his "unfortunate decline" RIP....
RIP
It is very surprising news. An icon in the entertainment industry. He did ALOT in his short lifetime.
:(
Not a fan, but appreciated his talent.
The scramble will now begin to sell stories/books about him and to dish the dirt.
As there is no chance now of slander and libel litigation to prevent publication, perhaps opinions of the man and his private conduct may begin to change. After all, look what happened to Gary Glitter! I'm in no way comparing the two as 'talents', just pointing to how private behaviour made public can affect opinions.
That is very sad news 🙁
I listen to his albums very often, and I want to thank him for all the pleasure he gave to me and to so many fans around the world...
Not fan of the man but of the king of pop. RIP Michael and thanks a lot for your greats songs.
