Michael Jackson Death discussion thread - CHAT, NOT JOKES

Supraman

R.I.P to the worlds greatest ever entertainer.
It's easy to be sensationalistic and jump on the bandwagon as regards his accusations.
End of the day, nothing was proved despite the want some people have to treat him as such. Not defending him either but....
The fact is though he inspired millions of people for many years and will now be mourned as such by those people.

gotta wonder about people getting so upset about the death of a fooking celebrity.

The man was a huge inspiration to a lot of people. I loved his work and greatly admired him. I felt a lot of pity for him when he went through his court cases. I am sad that he died.

Don't tell me how to f*cking feel.

OK Chat not Jokes then. I am not sad he's dead. He was a mediocre artist with spurious relationships with children to say the least. Gonna report this one BingBlangBlaow?

RIP Farrah Fawcett.

I take your point if we're talking about Jordan or Kerry Katona.

This is Michael Jackson - More than celebrity. Cultural icon. Either catch yourself or go to bed.

touchy.

Same as the idiots getting upset over Katy French, Diana and Jade.

Never knew the person, but decide becaue they read OK, Hello and whatever other ragball magazines that they are party to intimate details of these people's lives.

I think it's stupid and ridiculous.

Just on the news now.....it's being investigated by the Robbery / Homicide dept.

Shes upset because a musician whose work she liked has died. Thats a perfectly reasonable excuse to be upset.

wow!! cool your jets there. nobody was telling you how to feel. they were just amazed that you feel the way you do. to be honest, I'm sure people who dont know you personally couldnt give a f*ck if you crawl under a MoonWalker duvet and sobbed your eyes out in MJ pj's listening to Dirty Diana on loop.

to reiterate, he wasnt telling you how to feel, just saying he cant believe people are getting upset about a celeb. feel whatever way you want but dont be surprised if people dont share your emotions.

At the end of the day you cant get away from the fact that he made utterly sh1te music. The fact that his death has taken attention away from things that actually matter make me wish that he wasnt dead, other then that I am completely indifferent

Well done. You have a different opinion to the majority of the planet :rolleyes:

Your comparing a musical genius who entertained and was loved by millions if not more than a billion to a low level model, a member of Royalty and a big brother contestant.


No comment. No comment. You obviously do not appreciate music.


He is a legend, those "magazines" were what spread lies about him.

R.I.P, he touched many people in his lifetime.

Then don't read/watch/listen to...the thread/other media it's been talked about on then. Simple. Nobodies forcing you to read the thread.

The guys phone has been ringing off the hook apparently: http://radio.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.michaeljacksontalkradio.com

If you thought some one was dead why would you ring them?? How does the conversation go:

Anne: Hi Michael
Michael: Hi Anne! How are you?
Anne: Great! Just wondering if you were dead much?
Michael: .....no

It's not.

I'm old enough to remember Kurt Cobain's death.

I said the same then.

I love the guy's music, but I didn't spend days in mourning.

Nobody posting here knew the man, how they can be upset about the death of someone they neither know or ever met defies all logic.

I think it's silly being "upset" about this.

If any clown takes tomorrow off work in my job, I'll complain to HR

Blay, please attack the post, as in the comment I have quoted above and not the poster as per the previous comment I have not highlighted.

I would re-iterate again to any late comers to the thread.

He made a significant cultural contribution that shaped the music that we listen to today. 750,000,000 people around the world liked him enough to go out and buy his records. Mentioning his name in the same breath as those other fleeting celebrities is an insult.

Taking days off work etc is over the top, I'm not arguing that. But you can be upset at a musicians death for the simple reason that you can never again see them in concert/hear new songs from them. And if you like something, its reasonable to be upset when its gone.

Jesus Des.In all honesty, shut up!
You might think its stupid and your entitled to but theres no point in belitting someone who looks at it different. You might class him the same as Jade for some bizarre reason but others are still massive fans of his and you have no right to look down on those who actually got upset by this.

People have different reactions to different things. I can't fathom anyone that cries to soaps, but yerra sure, people do anyway. People/celebrities represent different things to different people. But yeah, taking a day off work or letting a celebrity death get in the way of normal life is abit over the top.

Taking a day off work is a bit much I'll admit but a quick "it's a sad day/RIP etc" isn't over the top is it?:)
