It seems Charlie and Chris Tucker both lost their angels today.

I didn’t read anyone’s posts and I don’t care what anyone else said. I know some people are going to touch on that fact that he was accused of being a child molester and it’s a damn shame that, in recent memory, that’s what he’ll be remembered for. To me, I remember sitting down as a young kid and hoping they played the Thriller video because it was the coolest damn thing on at the time.
The whole concept of the video made me a life long fan of the zombie genre. That man was the most entertaining man in the world for over 30 years. He made people cry and pass out just by being in the same VENUE. He didn’t sing about being the richest person in the world, he didn’t sing about being the best looking. He sang about peace, love, and equality. He brought people together of all races and creeds the world over. He never wanted to “bring sexy back.” Has anyone who thinks it’s a blessing on the world that he has died ever listened to Man in the Mirror? That’s one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I’ve ever heard.
He might’ve been a weirdo, but I doubt he ever molested children. The world lost a loving soul tonight who positively touched the lives of more people across the world than the North American continent has people. He gave hope through his music more than any artist I can think of. We’ll never see an artist that possessed the amount of talent and compassion that that man had ever again. May God rest his soul.[/quote]
If someone played Thriller, I would get up and do that Thriller zombie dance right now. His music is timeless, the true test and testament of any artist. The local media here has equated this to the passing of Elvis.

i don’t believe michael jackson was a child molester for a second.
anyone who’s taken an intro course of psychology would understand that he had no childhood. this dude was pimped out from day one. so he couldn’t handle the stress and the way he coped was to spend time with children as it was something he never got to do when he should have. obviously not everyone would handle that situation the same but thats what he did. he could have turned to drugs and alcohol like idk… 100% of all other child actors/actresses.
weak minded people believe everything other weak minded people tell them.

Yeah I think he just saw them as “playmates” for lack of a better way of putting it. Even though I was never a fan of his adult music he was always a sympathetic character to me. He seemed so messed up, lonely and miserable despite all the fame and success. I guess I felt sorry for the guy and I was sad to hear he died. If there was one thing he was undeniably guilty of, it was horrendously immature and plain all around bad judgment and decision making. There is definitely a subjective element at work here, but the whole child rapist thing just never rang true to me.

Changed the world with his music? How exactly did he change the world?

Are you kidding? Any time you can go to ANY continent and have people who know his songs, I think it is safe to say his music changed the world a little…if for no other reason than creating something that many people have in common.
I mean, get real. Why act like he didn’t have an unmatched affect on the entire planet? His Thriller album is the top selling album OF ALL TIME.
Edit: I am also not (and never was) convinced he actually tried to have sex with little boys. His idol was fucking Peter Pan.

Just because people knew his music doesn’t mean he changed the world. To say he changed the world is just silly. Music wasn’t even changed by him. Maybe videos, but not music.
As far as Thriller being the top selling album of all time, it just goes to show people suck. Also in the top 10 albums of all time are the Dirty Dancing soundtrack and the Backstreet Boys Millennium.
As far as you not believing he diddled kids, so what? He paid millions to keep from being prosecuted. You probably think OJ was innocent, too.

Why are you being so simple. He didn’t change the world like Einstein or Edison changed the world, but he did have a singular impact on how musical entertainment was done. Thriller was a writing, arrangement and production masterpiece and I didn’t even like it. I happen to believe him when he says he paid off because he couldn’t handle the situations any more. There is almost nobody I would believe when they said some thing like that in that circumstance, but I believe him. It fits.
For the record I believe OJ is guilty as sin.
This guy was a real genius, totally unique…sadly his talent was wasted…he went from pure genius to shitty commercial crap music…
Music has an ability to change people in ways no other avenue can. So can sports. Next time you go to a sporting event, look at the fans. You have all sorts of people from different backgrounds, who for only just a few hours, are able to put aside their POV’s and enjoy the common element that brings them together. Here in LA, you had people who normally hate each other, stand next to each other and cheer the Lakers on. You see this in many sports on a huge platform on the international level.
Music has this ability too. Michael Jackson used his music to help influence the world in a good way. His song “We are the World” is a good example. Assuming your old enough to remember, I bet ALOT of you remember that song, almost like a musical Kumbaya moment. Heal the World is another example. You had fans standing shoulder to shoulder from all diferent walks of life, who’s only common thing was that he put out great music.
THAT is life changing. THAT is something that many religious leaders, politicians, and evangelists have failed to do.
