Reports are mixed but some are saying he committed suicide just a little while ago. Tragic.

CNN says he is in a coma due to cardia arrest. It doesn't look good for him.

IMHO, simply one of the greatest talents and influences the world has known. Untouchable in the music industry.

From my facebook:

Michael Jackson died today. It's always strange when people you don't know, but do, leave. I loved a lot of his music. He certainly had a troubled life.

I hope that before it was all over, he took a chance to know Jesus, and I hope that his eternity looks better than his short 50 years on earth.

Here's to remembering.

Shocking news for the public, but apparently not so much for the people who knew him. Elvis all over again, but without the pedophilia raps. A tragic man, a talented man. What a mess, what a loss at the same time.

Just this week I was watching Thriller on YouTube one night. Crazy. The hugeness of his 80's presence and how it influenced today's pop music. Few people ever have the influence that he did. I remember Little Richard saying that Prince and Michael Jackson were "my boys". Michael Jackson was so big that even legends tried to jump in front of his parade.

Well, what do you do? Just shake your head at the wonder of it. A foolish man who built his lavish house(s) and amazed the world with his dance and song, but all of it on sand.

I thot about 5 years ago if he had remastered the Thriller album and rereleased it, it would have been a big seller. He was talented and a major talent in the past. He will be missed. I just wonder where his soul is tonight.

Everyone has free speech, but I just think it is wrong to show that picture. I wouldn't want my loved one shown during their resuscitation efforts. Being a nurse I have lived this, as well as seen my own family, I still think people should die in dignity. Just my .02.

And yes he did build his life on sinking sand!

ditto for my sentiments on all accounts. (cept i ain't smart enough to be a nurse, and about faint at the sight of my own blood)

The amazing thing to me is he is not much older (or younger) than you and I. Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucet. Mind boggling.

People get ready, Jesus is coming, soon we'll be going home.

Am I the only one that thought MJ was way over rated??
