No, because he wasn't even in the same sport as MJ, let alone ball park, when it comes to talent. He has also been proven without doubt to be a nonce!

[jimmy two times]

How about Pete Townsend then?

[matthew123]

Maybe sentiments would be different if Wacko Jacko had been found guilty

[JetSetWilly]

early pm results disprove the heart attack theory,apparantly he had a stroke whilst visiting a children,s ward.

I doubt it. Jacko mania renders it's victims blind!

No JSW. He drowned in a pool....... no one would throw him a buoy.

Sums up exactly how I feel about it perfectly and that's all I have to say on the matter.

In some better news

?Stoned wallabies make crop circles?

currently pips

?Singer Michael Jackson dies at 50?

for most read story on the BBC.

?Stoned wallabies make crop circles?

I thought it was the NRL and Footie players with the misbehaviour problems. Is this the Union boys fighting back?

[Jah Lush]

Okay one last thing. Let's be honest here. He made two - admittedly brilliant - albums released over a quarter of a century ago, and the money to hire better lawyers than Gary Glitter could afford...that's about it!

[*Bob*]

Glitter is surely now the undisputed King of pop noncery..

[bigbadwolf]

Well he's certainly popped a few cherries in his time *Bob*.

[JetSetWilly]

pm tests have shown the heart attack was related to a previously undiagnosed genetic disorder jackson inherited from his northern irish protestant side of the family, known as the the billy gene.

[bigbadwolf]

You're saying he's Irish JSW, now that's a low blow if I ever did see one so it is.

I feel so sorry for all the fans who have forked out for tickets, flights, hotels etc. Big big money has been spent by ordinary people. If they bought their tickets from an agency like Ticketbastard then they will get refunds (minus booking fees - and on a ?75 ticket expect about a ?10 booking fee). I fear that the secondary ticket market might not be so accommodating. All the money spent on flights too - ouch.

I had a friend with premium stage-side tickets for the opening night. I had a ?10 bet with her that it would never happen. I've won my bet but it's a hollow victory (I still want the tenner though).

I'm not that concerned with the big players (02 and the like) who will have lost a shed load of money (they will have insurance anyway), but I think there will be a lot of fans who have reached very deep into their pockets to see their hero and will have nothing to show for it. It's a shame really because they might be put off going to a concert again - and I'm all in favour of people going out more.

[bigbadwolf]

Surely the tickets to his last show that never happened due to his death will go for a fortune amongst Jacko fanatics.

[giggirl]

Sadly not BBW. The physical tickets had not been sent out. I think the industry was expecting further cancellations/adjustments to the schedule so was holding back until the last minute before sending the ticket out.

[Keef]

Okay, I know after reading this, a lot of you will just think that I am totally naive, but I have never been sure I believed all the allegations about MJ. With Glitter, it's cut and dry, he's a nonce, but MJ, I'm not so sure he was.

Basically, I believe he acted "inappropriately" towards kids (there is no smoke without fire), in a way that an adult never should, but I always wondered if in his world, he was just having fun and playing (in a non sexual way) with them. I think that he was a big kid in a way, and his world was so so far removed from our every day reality, that he probably saw no wrong in having a sleepover with a bunch of kids.

Like I say, I'm sure a lot of you will think "have a word with yourself Keef, he was as guilty as OJ, a dirty peado through and through", and maybe you're all right, but that is just the way I look at it. We'll never really know for sure. I did always think though, that if someone messed with my kid, no amount of money in the world would buy me off!

Anyway, Thriller was an absolute tune, "Wanna be in my gang" wasn't.

[Jah Lush]

Huh! Mark my words Keef, now he's dead they'll be a septic tank full of scum rising to the top of the tabloids front page headlines selling their stories about how they were abused by Michael Jackson and he won't have highly paid lawyers to defend him.

[bigbadwolf]

Seeing as he was mostly plastic couldn't they melt him down and made into a toy that way kids could play with him for a change.

[Jah Lush]

Actually BBW apparently Michael Jackson's dying wish was to be melted down and made into plastic bags so he could still be a danger to small children.

err...sorry.

[Keef]

Got that joke is a text at 8 this morning BBW.

[Eliza.D]

I was saddened to hear the news of his death but not shocked.

I saw him twice in concert and he was a true showman, a great performer and has made some of the best pop songs ever.

There are two sides to MJ ? The weird behaviour, prescription drugs, the surgery, the court cases etc, etc and then there is the music, the dance and his influence on popular culture.

I personally believe that MJ was a very sick individual physically, mentally and morally and for very many reasons. But his legacy has to be his music.

Ironic that Farrah Fawcett died on the same day. She famously slept with Majors, whilst Wacko.............
