There is another site that said he was dead before he made it to the hospital. If he is still alive I do not think he will make it thru the night. Cardiac arrest is very serious. Lord I can’t take no more. I loved him in the 80’s just like any other pre-teen and teenage girl. Over the years he just became so strange. I just could not understand his behavior.
May God be with him.

I remember back in the day when I was about 6 or 7 when my mom came home with a VHS featuring some of his music videos…I sang and danced to those songs for MONTHS everyday, until the tape was messed up.
I remember when he scared the SHIT out of my when I watched Thriller when I was about 8…I couldn’t even sleep without the light on for weeks.
Although he had all that drama, he is still a childhood icon for me and I still love his music. So many artists emulate his dance moves and strive to be as successful as he is.
I have not heard that he has died, and that’s the story I am sticking to.
I’m praying that God gives him strength and heals him.

I am watching all the cable news shows and no one has verified that he has died. In fact, Wolf Blitzer came on and said a reporter just talked to Randy Jackson (the brother) after 3 pm and he had collapsed earlier. No confirmation of death. I hope he pulls through and all the rumors are false.

i cannot believe the number of insensitive people who want to talk about plastic surgery at a time like this.
i’m watching CNN and didn’t see anything to say that he’s actually passed, just not in very good condition.
he’s in God’s hands and i pray for him. God Bless MJ!
this will be so sad, if he doesn’t make it.
and RIP Farrah Fawcett…

IT HAPPENS IN 3′S .Ed McMahon (sp?) Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson.
Just like when Bernie Mac, Issac Hayes, and who was the other one? I remember it was in 3s though.
But cnn, nor fox is reporting that he died.

Never accept life unless you can accept what we call death. It’s a journey that we all must take.
Thank God for the gift of who we call Michael Jackson along with the strong gravitational pull that he has had in all of our lives……if anything is to be understood from this unexpectedly surreal scenario, it’s that we need to truly appreciate ALL of those around us because as time ebbs and flows, we can not stop someone from passing, but we have the opportunity to cherish them and thank God for them when they are here alive with us now!
So look around to those who YOU cherish and make sure that you let them know how precious they are……

God bless his soul. I know he had demons and I hope he’s found peace. Geez, this is really truly sad, talking about a true Entertainer and Artist who’s music will be timeless. I was listening to Human Nature yesterday and I said to myself, “Michael’s music will always sound good, 50 years from know I will someone will love this song.”
My condolences to his and Farrah’s families.
