RIP Michael.
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon
*I don't care what anyone says about this man. He was more than an entertainer. He's an inspiration to artists everywhere. With his innovative dance moves, awesome vocals, and outstanding music video concepts and shorts, he inspires. His songs moved people, both emotionally and physically. His concerts sold out; people were in tears no matter how far away they were standing. Without him, a lot of pop music wouldn't exist. Without him, dancing would be just a little bit more simple. I remember staying up too late (and getting in trouble, mind you) to watch MTV and VH1 because they were showing Moonwalker, Live in Bucharest, and Thriller. I remember watching the making of for "Thriller" (and numerous other music videos) and thinking "This is amazing." I was raised on him (as well as others, duh), and I will tell my kids and my kids kids about him and what difference he made in my life both musically and emotionally. I mimicked his dance moves, and learned to dance; he taught me. I sang along with his tapes, and knew how to sing. I admire him so much, and I never lost faith and hope for him. My best friend Venescha chose the Werewolf from Thriller for her make-up final (and did a fucking amazing job, by the way). I was her model. I was fucking STOKED. Because. It's fucking MJ. I sat in a restaurant tonight, watching MTV and seeing all of his old videos and remember how bad I wanted to BE HIM. I wanted every costume, learned every dance move, sang every note around the house until my parents told me to stfu.
He is truly a legend and will never be forgotten. My heart and thoughts are with his family and his friends in their time of mourning, as well as his fans across the entire world who are devastated by the loss of such a mindblowing figure of entertainment. This isn't just national. World fucking wide.
Rest in Peace, Michael.
My best friend Diana said it best:
"He isn't dead. He just went home."
There's no pain where he is.
Come to think of it, Heaven isn't sounding so bad with the amount of amazing people up there.
Also, RIP Farrah Fawcett. You will never be forgotten. You battled long and hard, and like I said: There's no pain where you are.

It all sounds so dramatic, but it's all true.
EDIT: I foooooound: http://twitpic.com/8g92n and http://twitpic.com/8g92r and a few other Jackson 5 albums down in the living room. \o/ (and a whole bunch of other albums that i think could somewhat rival someone's record collection).
2nd EDIT: Legacy and influence See also: Records and achievements of Michael Jackson and List of awards received by Michael Jackson Jackson's star on the Hollywood walk of fame, set in 1984 Inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984, Jackson had a notable impact on music and culture throughout the world. He broke down racial barriers, transformed the art of the music video and paved the way for modern pop music in his own country. Jackson's work, distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced hip hop, pop and R&B artists, including Mariah Carey,[12] Usher,[194] Britney Spears,[12] Justin Timberlake[110] and R. Kelly.[164] For much of his career, he had an "unparalleled" level of worldwide influence over the younger generation through his musical and humanitarian contributions.[195] Throughout his career he received numerous honors and awards, including the World Music Awards' Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium, the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award and the Bambi Pop Artist of the Millennium Award.[26][196] He was a double-inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, once as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997 and later as a solo artist in 2001. Jackson was also an inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.[26] His awards include multiple Guinness World Records (eight in 2006 alone), 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career-more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era-and the sale of over 750 million albums worldwide, making him the world's best selling male pop artist.[24][63][71][197][198][199] Queues for a Michael Jackson concert in Berlin in June 1988 He was characterized as "an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility and loads of sheer star power".[157] In the mid-1980s, Time described Jackson as "the hottest single phenomenon since Elvis Presley".[31] By 1990, Vanity Fair had already cited Jackson as the most popular artist in the history of show business.[61] Daily Telegraph writer Tom Utley called him an "extremely important figure in the history of popular culture" and a "genius".[200] His total lifetime earnings from royalties on his solo recordings and music videos, revenue from concerts and endorsements have been estimated at $500 million; some analysts have speculated that his music catalog holdings could be worth billions of dollars.[62][201] Cited as one of the world's most famous men, Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades..
