I MEAN THIS DUDES DEATH INFECTED THE ENTIRE WORLD.. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT HIS DEATH I WAS LIKE WHAT?? I THOUGHT THEY WERE LYING OR JOKING OR EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS A HOAX. BUT IT WASN'T. AND IT WAS LIKE A SADNESS THAT CAME OVER ME.
NEVER HAVE I EVER FELT SO SAD WHEN A PERSON DIED THAT WAS A CELEBRITY LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON. FOR THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.. HE JUST OFFICIALLY STOPPED THE WORLD FROM TURNING......... LITERALLY!!!!!!!!
ITS PRETTY INCREDIBLE THAT HIS DEATH SHOOK THE ENTIRE WORLD LIKE IT DID. I MEAN HIS DEATH IS THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR AND MAYBE THE CENTURY... CAUSE THINK ABOUT IT.. WHAT COULD BE BIGGER OR WHO'S DEATH CAN BE BIGGER AND MORE HEARTBREAKING THEN MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH ??????? THAT WILL EFFECT THE ENTIRE GLOBE. THAT IN ONE DAY THEIR DEATH WILL HAVE EVERYONE JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS EVERYTIME THEY HEAR HIS NAME.. WHEN COMEDIANS MAKE FUN OF HIM THEY SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND SAY DAMN.. THATS NOT EVEN FUNNY :(

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL . IM SORRY. USHER, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, BREAK DANCERS, ENTERTAINERS.. ETC ETC.. ALLLLL OF YOU.. HAVE NO CHOICE!!! BUT TO BOW DOWN TO THE KING OF POP... CAUSE HE IS LIKE ROYALTY AND HE IS LIKE GOD IN THIS WORLD. THE CLOSEST THING TO IT. CAUSE HE WAS JUST SOOO DAMN FAMOUS HIS DEATH MADE THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING FOR A FEW DAYS AND EVEN A FEW MONTHS.

Just as much of the world, I was saddened by the news of Michael Jacksons' passing. I grew up in the same area with him and enjoyed he and his family's music immensely, especially as a pre-teen. He certainly cornered the market on musical genius extraordinaire.
However, the last decade or so it seems that he had become more of a recluse and struggling more with issues regarding his self-esteem.
News reports have suggested that he had an addiction to pain killers. Whatever was going on in his personal life, it appeared that he may not have been a very happy person.
I hope that his family and friends are able to find some peace in this tragedy and trust in the Lord to see them through it.

Michael Jackson was a huge phenomen. There will never be anyone to top him in this lifetime.
May you now have the peace that you were so deserving of. Now you will be a beam of light in the universe of music. God embrace you, Michael Jackson.

His talent was great but that doesn't dismiss the sinful acts he commited. The flames of hell burn hot and I'd guess Micheal is pretty well aware of that by now.
