Yeah Steve - it's for real according to BBC & sky....
Wow - some talent he was, but could never give him the benefit of the doubt about the kid abuse....
Is this our generations equvalent of Elvis/Lennon?????

What an entertainer. He had all the hallmarks of a legend; great songs (for the majority of his career) and a really bizarre private life.
I think Shady is right, he is our generations pop Icon.

Wacko by name, Wacko by nature.......
Seriously though, the man, his family and their music have played a part in all our lives as we have grown up and gotten older
Personal faves include Human Nature, Stranger in Moscow, Earthsong, the list goes on and on
This has to be the biggest celebrity death since Diana's crash, and the murder of John Lennon before that
R.I.P Michael

now i do feel old. I remember Elvis and John Lennon dying! Mr Lennon is imho in a league of his own....
Quite a mixed reaction to Jacko's death and of course it didnt take long for the jokes to come in as well. I dont mind Jacko at all but i wouldnt claim to be a massive fan of his music. He did have a great voice and did dance a lot better than John Lennon. I feel sorry for his children who have lost a father.

Yeah, agree there Loopz.
He made some seminal stuff, but could never say I was a massive fan.
