Michael Jackson Died

[Thumpper]

it makes me sick to see people willing to tarnish or destroy a persons reputation

for the mighty dollar......I never did beleive any of the crap he was accused of

and there was never any proof found except for the fact people wanted his money

he did go a bit freaky after that but who wouldn't if the whole American Media was

ripping them apart...he was a victim of greed

I will be 40 this year..I grew up with his music and I seen the influence he has had

on all the current recording artists....I was completely shocked also when I heard

..being a DJ in the 80's the MJ Video's were always the most requested and his music

always filled the dance floor...his dance style was the epicenter of coriography

and the art of music video..his rythm remains un matched

this thing has only started...it will exceed and pass the Beatles and Elvis because

of the simple fact there is no age or culture barrier with his fan base to stop it

..he is more popular than any person on earth at the moment and his legacey will most

likely never be topped

June 26thSony Comments on the Passing of Michael Jackson

NEW YORK, NY – June 25, 2009 – Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture.

Commenting on his passing, Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman, CEO and President, Sony Corporation, said: “Michael Jackson was a brilliant troubadour for his generation, a genius whose music reflected the passion and creativity of an era. His artistry and magnetism changed the music landscape forever. We have been profoundly affected by his originality, creativity and amazing body of work. The entire Sony family extends our deepest condolences to his family and to the millions of fans around the world who loved him.”

Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, CEO, Sony Music Entertainment, said: “Michael Jackson’s unsurpassed artistry and beloved music brought joy to every corner of the world. We join today with his millions of fans in expressing our profound sadness and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. It was a true privilege for all of us in the Sony Music family to work with one of the most talented superstars in the history of music. We will miss him greatly.”

Martin Bandier, Chairman & CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, said: “Michael was the kind of amazing talent that comes along once in a lifetime. He was an incredible recording artist, an insightful businessman, an unmatched performer, and a true trash. To all of us at Sony/ATV Music Publishing, he was also a trusted and passionate partner, who was very proud of our accomplishments. He will be dearly missed. We wish his children and entire family our deepest condolences.”

Five of Jackson’s solo albums – “Off the Wall,” “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Dangerous” and “HIStory,” all with Epic Records, a Sony Music label – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and “Thriller” as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award’s Artist of the Century Award.

Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as “Billie Jean,” “Beat It” and the epic “Thriller.” Jackson’s sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.

[Diddy talking]

I remember the first time i seen you moonwalk,

I believed I could do anything,

you made the world dance,

you made the music come to life

[Chris brown - Chorus]

This the type of song that make the angels cry,

i look up in the sky and i wonder why?

why you had to go, go

I know its better on the other side,

you were chosen from the start

never gon let you go,

[The Game]

Whos Michael Jackson,

Your Michael Jackson,

Im Michael Jackson,

We all Michael Jackson,

I guess what Im asking is everybody bow their head for a legend dont breathe for a second,

now let the air out, grab the hand of somebody you care about,

so you can hear my message, my confession,

someone tell Usher, i seen the moonwalk, i guess the young thriller touched him, like he touched me, like he touched you,

so carry on his legacy, something i must do, so i trust you lighting candles, concrete visuals, me and my brothers listen to jackson 5 in the living room,

first thing i did when i heard was call puff,

cos him and Mike tried to stop the beef between us,

who was us? Me and fifty, that beef is dead, him and Mike Jackson gonna take us to the ledge.

[Chorus]

As Im pouring out this liquor candles start to flicker,

when list (?) my air ones, MJ was my nier.

Not the one that play ball, the one with the hollywood star,

and since im a hollywood star imma tell you my story,

just like me they always had Mike in a scope,

no matter what you say,

imma love him and hes still dope,

let me take you back to 85 when i was in a zone, dancing for my momma thriller jacket with all the zippers on,

now im doing 90 bout to crash in this Aston,

anything i can ever do to better you your son was our king so we wont Corretta you,

Im writing this letter to all the Jackson kids, we all Jackson kids, time to let us through.

[Chorus]

[boys II Men]

This the kind of song that make the angels cry,

look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why

Do we live and let die

This the kind of song that make the angels cry,

look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why

Do we live and let, live and let die.

R.I.P Michael

I keep trying to find the Bad Album by MJ, but everyone only carrys Thriller and I've had that for 3 years or more already. I mean I know Thriller has sold 110 million+ but there should be more albums out there to actually get.

Edit: I found all the Michael Jackson albums today, I now own Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous. I also bought the Jackson 5 Ultimate Collection.
