It’s the end of an great era, that started and ended with the legend Michael Jackson at the throne. Rest in peace, MJ.
His music will always be around to remind us of what he used to be. A great musician.
I feel sad when I hear this. MJ contributed a lot to the music industry. He is definitely a iconic legend of pop music. Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson. You and your music will be greatly missed!
An absolute legend who contributed so much to the music community. Rest in Peace.
To people born in the 70s 80s and early 90s. The most famous person in our lives died today. That is an unbelievable thought.
I was truly, truly crushed to hear the news. This is such a terrible blow, to the music and pop community.
Rest in peace, Michael. You’re truly a legend who will never, ever be forgotten.
Michael Jackson – The Ultimate Collection
A sad day for Gary, Indiana, a sad day for America, and a sad day for the world.
Michael, you will always be the KING OF POP.
“To people born in the 70s 80s and early 90s. The most famous person in our lives died today.”
Ummm… hardly.
MJ RIP
Huge talent & king of the dancefloor
To most people born in the 70s and 80s, the most famous person in their lives died today. And especially if they’re not from America…
So yeah, that statement is towards the truer end.
RIP MIchael Jackson…and thanks for the music
Ummm… hardly.
Go to any foreign country and while you’re trying to communicate with the locals, mention Michael Jackson. Chances are, their faces will light up with excitement that they’ve found something you have in common with them.
He’s the only person I can think of, from his time, who is a household name in nearly every corner of the world.
I am so sorry to see him go. He was truly the best. Just found great michael jackson t shirts for cheap. I bought 10 for me and my family…Long live the king. Here is the site ripmichaeljacksontshirts.com
He is an inspiration to every artist of every genre. Every artist I know, especially dance one’s like me. His contribution to entertainment will be forever remembered, and it is only a shame he was never as happy as his music made others.
R.I.P.
‘May he rest in peace and reside amongst the angels in the sky where he belongs. He left us his gift – his voice, his videos, his dancing’
Cool & Dre – Twitter
Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time he will always be the king of music
the best entertainer,dancer,singer in the world .There will never be another michael jackson it very hard to get into our minds like him
Michael is my inspiration, i used to hear his music more when i am worried with my life and acts, when i am happy then too i hear his music . daily without hearing his music i cant sleep that has
been my habit, that is and will be till my last breath.
we all really miss him and I cant believe that he is no more, i wanted to meet him atleast once ,felt to hold this legends hand but could not do it.Once he came to India in 1996 could not get a chance to meet him and never expected that i will not meet him 4ever.
May his soul rest in peace
