More bad news this week. After Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson has now left us. First, reports surfaced the pop icon suffered cardiac arrest. Published reports claimed he collapsed in his Holmby Hills mansion shortly after noon. He was taken to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
CNN reported Jackson was being administrated CPR in the ambulance. Then, TMZ broke the news that Michael Jackson passed. CBS News, The LA Times and CNN soon confirmed.
Michael Jackson was preparing for 50 sold-out shows overseas and rehearsing in California. Jackson was only 10 years old when he and his brothers, The Jackson 5, signed with Motown in 1968. Michael and his brothers would become one of the biggest groups of all time with Michael as solo artist becoming the biggest pop star in the world. Throughout controversy and scandal, no one could ever take away Michael’s title as the King of Pop.
Michael was allegedly plagued with health problems for years — Lupus, vitiligo and an addiction to pain killers.
Michael Jackson will be deeply missed by fans and the BET family. Please leave your condolences in the comments.

I Love Michael Jackson.
Regardless of what he did in life. I just want to hear his music and see his videos more than ever at this time.
Most media hide behind the this line they use “the public wants to know”. The majority of the public don’t want to know the negative things. Its just that some of them, the comentators wants to dig and dig until they bring him to shame.
Michael Jackson will forever be loved by everyone of his fans, who reside in every corner of the planet. There have been many who have tried to destroy him and his reputation. And all they have done is to make his legacy even stronger. His music will last until the end of time. I truly believe this with all my heart.
Agape Love Michael and Rest In Peace

“Words can’t even express on how I feel…I feel like I’m in a nightmare and in a need to wake up! This world will never be the same without you!” – Jessica W.
As we “Remember the Times” while you were here with us
And all the many lives and hearts you touched;
Words cannot even begin to describe, but in our lives you’re one of a kind;
And best believe you gave the whole world “Butterflies”!
“Never Can We Say Goodbye” and “We’ll Never Stop Loving You”;
For this is not a time to cry over his death but a time to celebrate his breakthrough!
No more will he have to suffer and no more sadness will he keep inside,
For he will always be loved and adored worldwide.
I call this a breakthrough;
Because he has a better life,
No more grief and no more dealing with strife.
In my eyes you’ll always be “Invincible”;
And always be my “Smooth Criminal”!
It’s just so hard to except the fact that you’re not here;
You’re family will always be in my heart & in my prayers!
I just hope the family will know that…
“They are not alone, We are here for them, Though He may seem far away but forever in our hearts,
He’ll stay!”
I will always remember you as being the “Dancing Machine” and being more than just being “Bad”
You were “Dangerous” and a “Thriller” because you gave so many of us chills.
I will always “Rock with You” and never “Stop Till I Get Enough”!
Just so hard to know that your gone;
It’s just so rough!
“Gone too Soon” everyone says
And I know all will agree when I say “We Wanna Be Where You Are!”
Because you’re in a better place.
You taught us a lot of things, starting with our “ABC’s”;
And how it was easy as 123.
You taught us how to “Beat It” when things got rough and tough.
You taught us to just tell people it’s “Human Nature” when others couldn’t understand us;
Or the way we feel at times.
You taught us how to “Look in the mirror and make a change”;
Most importantly, You showed us that “We Are the World”
And “Make it A Better Place for You and for Me”!
I learned how to “Live Life Off the Wall” when the world can get on my shoulders;
And to give “One More Chance At Love”.
I don’t think people know “The Way You Make Me Feel”;
You will always be more than “Just Another Part of Me”!
You are and always will be loved by many;
“Black or White”!
You will always remain “Unbreakable” ;
And be known as the only entertainer that can “Rock My World”!
All of your inspiration and music will not be kept “In the Closet”;
But in my heart!
I will “Jam” to your music like no other man has ever jammed before;
That’s just my way to show how much you are adored.
I know the whole world will agree with me when I say “We Want YOU Back”!;
But God took one of his angels,
And a Angel you truly are!
I just hope I get to meet you once I get up there;
Man! I just “Got To Be There”!
Well for now your family and fans will hold it down for you;
And try to remain strong,
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson aka The King of Pop;
Your legacy will remain to live on!

Michael Jackson is a legend, its sad that we have lost some one so talented so gifted and someone who truly loved his fane with all his heart! i’m honored that God has given us micheal for the time he was here! His music, culturally has brought a universe together! The Amazing thing about Micheal is that if you were in a diffrent part of the world you knew his music in english and in that language! I’m so glad that god has given me the opportunity to know him through his music. He may be considered gone by he’s alive in my heart! i also want to mention to the media! You guys tore him apart when he was alive and now that hes gone why cant you let the man rest in peace!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P Michael Jackson you will be greatly missed. You were the best thing that could ever happen to people all over the world. i love you mike. your music lives on. i will never forget you.

me so much. my condolences go out
to him and his family… this is so sad.

and no one will ever forget you.
Rest In Peace Mj… i love you.
MJ you were the world’s greatest entertainer. There will never be anyone else like you in this life time. You were bought here for a reason to change music history and I thank you. I can’t believe that you are gone I still shed tears. I wish the media would honor you for the man you were, and stop with the negative gossip. MJ you will always be the KING OF POP and I love you. I will continue to listen to your music forever. My hopes and prayers go out to the Jackson family. MJ rest in peace I know you are in a better place.
I think it is a shame for M.J. to be buried any were except in Gary In.
It’s been over a week since I heard the news of Michael Jackson passing and it’s still very painful to me. See Michael music got me thru my Mom passing, and my Dad passing. MJ music also helped me celebrate, my wedding and the birth of my two children. I am going to miss you so much. I don’t know of any one person who could do what you did. I pray you are resting in peace with our Lord. I know He is pleased with you because He gave you a gift and you used it to the fullest. I am 48 years old and I remember you from the beginning. With our ever changing world, the one thing that didn’t change was your ability to entertain us. Rest in Peace Michael, I love you!
my sympathy goes out to the Jackson Family. I’m one of Michael’s biggest fan, and i named my children Marlon, Randy, LaToya, and Michael. I love you Michael and you will always be remembered.
I love Michael Jackson. The world will never be the same. A piece of it is missing.
Frankly, I don’t even know why I am so said for Michael’s passing. I never met him nor was I one of the lucky few to see one of his concert performances. But his music and what he gave back to this world touched me very profoundly. I don’t think there will ever be an entertainer who as a human being touched so many. My only hope is that God gives his mother and his family the strength to deal with this great loss. God bless you Michael!
