Michael Jackson RIP
by Eugene Kan, June 25, 2009

The internet has been abuzz with the unfortunate passing of Michael Jackson. One of our generations greatest performers and fully worthy of his title as the “King of Pop”, his legacy will be remembered and carried on for years to come. As Benny Gold put it in a talk I had with him this morning, Michael Jackson is undoubtedly our generation’s Elvis Presley. While he hasn’t been in the limelight or making music as of late (but was set to embark on a tour), his work speaks volumes about his impact on the world as we know it. RIP MJ.
I will surely miss Michael Jackson, he is really worthy of the name King of Pop and he is certainly one of the greatest musicians of all time.
best of the best r.i.p
rip to the best performer to ever take a stage
R.I.P never will be an artist like him
Those kids came forward and said that there parents made them lie about that whole scandal years back. It was a lie. Yea the man was a little weird, but all geniuses are a little weird. R.I.P.
If it wasn’t for him, I’d grow up tone deaf. Thanks Jacko.
Thanks for everything michael..Your always in out hearts and minds..You did so much for all of us..Thanks……
Rest In Peace.
One of the most talented musical Entertainers of all time.
You will be missed.
never will be forgotten
r.i.p.
Damn it hurts every time I hear one of he’s songs but it also brings some comfort to. There will never be any artist that will even come close to Micheal. Rest in Peace Micheal, we will never forget you and your music will always live on forever.
We all love you Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P MJ….he gone….
20th century idol
When I was out I heard his records played everywhere I went, over 30 houses I past were blasting his music out; todays the day the greatest pop star of all time died.
Thank you Michael Jackson for showing us the greatest entertainment that music has to offer. You are really the King of Pop. That was ‘Thriller’ for us, 1958-2009.
long live the king…. Love U MIKE!!!!
MJ is so many ways
You will be allways in my heart Michael.

I used to have an old 45 with Thriller on the A and Beat It on the B side. I played that record until it wouldnt play anymore… I also used to have the glove, and could moonwalk (still can). My fav tune by this man is Man in the Mirror…. I have so many memories about his music and wanting to be able to dance and sing like him… He will be missed, he was arguably the biggest star this world had ever known.
God Bless the Dead
R.I.P
RIP MJ…Greatest Music Icon Of all Time Hands Down….

the most highest profile recording artist in like EVER!!!

R.I.P.M.J.
Seemed so unreal when you heard it, for everyone>
RIP MJ!!1
Despite his legal troubles he was the King of Pop and his legacy will never be forgotten. He paved the way for all these singers today, if it wasn’t for Michael Jackson we wouldn’t have any of the artists today. RIP
may the king rest easy
RIP MJ
i wont concentrate on remembering the contraversy that surrounded him i admire him and will miss him for his music that will always live on ! :/
it’s unfortunate, but once all the hype dies down and we get over his passing people are going to be able to listen to his music and see that he really was the greatest. outside of the rumors, accusations, acquitals, tabloids, etc. he had tremendous talents. he will most definitely be missed.
RIP
RIP THE GREATEST TO EVER TO BLESS A STAGE YET ALONE A MICROPHONE.
R.I.P. Had a good impact on my life for definate.
The original hypebeast.
R.I.P. to the best to ever do it.
May you rest in peace Michael Jackson, truly a music legend.
Rest in peace buddy……
now we’ll rely on Usher for the moon walking HA..
r.i.p.
I heard it wasn’t natural causes,
it was carried out by a SMOOTH CRIMINAL
Man Damn Near Cried When I Heard This
Michael Jackson Was More Then The King
Of Pop He Was also The Greatest Performer
To Ever Step On a Stage Like Without Him
There Would Be No Chris Browns Ginuwines Or Ushers SMH
Will Truly Be Missed Above All The BS and Scandal
RIP to the King of Music
Possibly the greatest artist of our time! No one can deny what a great impact he has left on our generation with his music. You might have passed away but your music will live on forever. Rest In Peace Michael!

Alongside of the music and dancing, the influential impact Michael’s fashion had & will forever have on the world is undeniable. He was, and still is, a cultural icon. Rest In Piece.

Jackson is bigger then Elvis, dude could bring Generations together. Didn’t matter if you were 5 years old, 30, or in your 70s. Just play any of his songs and an entire family could rock out.
R.I.P. MJ – A true superstar
That’s great that “Benny Gold” had something to say, but what about Farrah Fawcett? Time to stop riding nuts and post the news….
RIP MJ we will surley miss you
Never be another…
RIP
MJ FOREVER.
He’s one of those few people u think would never die.
Seriously right now isn’t the time for anybody to be writing negative comments because most people commenting will probably be showing their respect so anybody wanting to spread their negativity than fuck off. If I’m first I hope whoever writes after me knows to respect someone who has done so much for pop culture and who has inspired so many. Rest In Peace M.J. THE KING OF POP!
RIP the King of Pop
RIP the King of Pop
R.I.P. to the King of Pop…always remember the Thriller
MJ was the greatest artist of are time, you cant mess with the classics such as thriller, billy jean, bad, black or white
RIP, your music will last forever.
First..a true legend.r.i. p.
you will be missed RIP MJ
