My condolences to the family, and children; hopefully they can toss those masks and blankets and whatnot away now.

I am really saddened for his children and his family.
It's sad in the aspect of, who will his children turn to during this horrible time of their lives.

I feel real sad when I heard of the news... RIP michael.

Yep - R.I.P. is right. I still get all excited at bars when Billie Jean comes on - what a great song.

what a naturally gifted artistic talent gone to complete shambles & waste. it's sad but i think he might as well have been dead for the last 15+ years now living in anguish (surgery-addict, pill addict, fear of everything) & as an abused child (so he says) and child abuser ($22million payout for child abuse). tragic. RIP can't be more fitting.... hopefully he's more peaceful & purposeful in his next life. how could he not .. glen

Hey Glen, lets hope he learned what he was suppose to so he can live differently.
Anyways, metaphysics aside, he definitely was one of the best dancers I have ever seen. Its tragic but let this be a lesson to all of us in his odd behavior, you force your kids to do gigs in strip bars, they will have problems later in life no matter how much money they make.

Unbelieveable talent, one of the best of all time. I loved watching him dance and perform. A lot more bands, Stones, Beatles, Led Zep etc. etc. etc. had more hit albums and maybe more singles (Mariah Carey), but he struck fast and hard and influenced so many people so quickly in many different areas of entertainment. He was great and will be missed. I did like him. I also always hoped he would come back with some of his flare from the '80s and early '90s. But his music did get weak later on.

Yes he was a very strange man, so what, he was very odd, but VERY talented!

R.I.P MJ!

Is that amount confirmed? I don't believe so. Probably speculated.

It's just sad that he leaves behind small children. And whats worse is the things that are gonna be heard by those kids.

His legacy will be Child Molestor, weirdo, drug abuser.

Drugs, yes I believe. However, that will not be his legacy, don't be stupid!

Acknowledging his talents won't ruin your shred pose. If anything, it will broaden your musical knowledge, and make you better. It's a time for everything. Now it's the time to say
R.I.P.

Agreed +100000.

His legacy will DEFINTELY be that of a child abuser, drug abuser and freak. To think otherwise is totally naive. Mich called this one spot on. The hero worship will shine the brightest for days, but when that light dims, his enormous personality flaws will be all that remain. Not everyone is in love with the persona he loved to sell to people, and far fewer people bought it.
But again, I feel sad for the children who only knew him (and nannies) because HE REFUSED to allow them to have a mother in their lives. They are deserving of ALL the sympathy they receive. I really feel bad for them, and the family, but Michael - I wouldn't have trusted my kids with him for 2 minutes. And that has nothing to do with how much we all liked "A-B-C" by the Jackson 5. That was awesome, but it was just a damn song, that's it.
Here, check this out. Katt Williams, a very funny comedian, giving a perpective I can completely relate to. And the only thing I'll be surprised about when it comes out that drugs were the cause of death was that his family couldn't buy a more respectable outcome from the California coroners on the case.
I'm sorry he's passed away, but I think it will free the people around him to have more normal lives. His life was SO BIG, and so different from what anyone else would see as normal, that this will bring a freedom - however painful that freedom may be. My best wishes to all the survivors of the Michael Jackson effect.

NEGATIVE! Loved forever he will remain. Those bad parts of his life are small considering what he has given to the world. You are very naive! Will people remeber all the bad and freakish things, yes, I do. He was weird, but also a genius. The latter will prevail!

MJ was the first artist I was a fan of. I was only 4/5 at the time and was growing up in the UK. I tried copying one of his moves and ended up with a nasty scrape on my nose.

Didn't care much of his projects from then on but was saddened with the way he became. What's sad is that there was the faintest glimmer of hope that with his upcoming shows he would elevate himself, if only ever slightly, in the eyes of the public.

RIP Michael. You were one of the greatest artist in the 20th century but your legen was completely ruined with your antics.

I think that for most of the people, he's gonna be a legend in what he was best at, which is incredible singing and one of the best dancer, those two combined into perfect stage expressions and "entertaining factor".
