RIP Michael Jackson

Just yesterday I was listening to his album and playing his old videogame on the Sega Genesis. [News Link]

Update: Found this cool picture of Michael Jackson with Michael Jordan and Kriss Kross.

The King of POP who does not have even a single bad record through out his entire musical life. Zillions of people are Sad.

The music scene would’ve been much different without his presence which changed the way we look and listen to music

R.I.P Michael Jackson .. One Love

Too weird for words.
Let’s look past the white face, the plastic surgery and the ‘accusations’ and just say, next to Elvis , no one has ,or will come along the like of this for a very long time.

=(

RIP Michael..

I loved that game…omg Mark you seriously reminded me the days when i was a baby~!!

He honestly was the best..no one can ever come even close to Michael~!!

Allah yr7ma..he was the KING~!!

Btw…did he really convert to Islam?

” Let’s all moonwalk the streets at midnight with candles in our hands.”

I hope the fans do it , it will be cool . i love that game , best game on sega

A true icon….
He will be missed…
From revolutionizing Dance & Pop Music to insane videos
Thoughts and prayers to his family…R.I.P Michael 🙁
Farrah Fawcett too….the original Charlies Angel
The video game brought back memories for me too…Sega…Sonic, WWF RAW & After Burner…

A shocker indeed. But we did keep hearing news about his face caving in, his lungs giving out and he even had a cancer check up, his skin whitening debacle.His obsession with getting ‘white’ skin was all too (in)famous, his child molestation charges. Once a very rich man, he died almost in debt. The lives of the rich and famous are strange indeed. Respect!

I was very sad when I heard the news. He had a rough life. I was hoping Jermine (his older bro) convinced him to convert to Islam. I really hope he did convert! So we can say Allah yir7mah :S

you cant say allah yir7amah to someone who isnt muslim?
so people who arent muslim and die dont deserve to be told these words?

@Linda: No, since Allah will not give mercy to non-muslims even if they are good. Since “Allah Yir7ama” means May god have mercy on him its like a prayer from muslims to allah to forgive their brother muslim and let him go to heaven.

@Ba3ks
then why did Allah created him in the first place?!
Lets not forget that he “Allah” swt is the most forgiving and most merciful of all.

@Linda
Allah yur7uma is similar to May God have mercy on your soul. When anyone – or anything- dies, their soul is at the mercy of God or Allah’s hands.

According to the biography i recently read Michael planned to release 100 songs after his death to support his children.
Sure, this is good news but it wont be the same not having the king of pop around.

besides that, MJ did a lot of good things. Lets not forget all the charity work that he did and he was very big on philanthropy.

whatever he did in his personal life is his business. I am sure that we all have had to face a few demons of our own.

@ Flux: “whatever he did in his personal life is his business. I am sure that we all have had to face a few demons of our own.”

Well said.

Then why Jackson`s brother at the end of the press confress said may allah be with you ?

he could say may god ..

he may have converted to islam so god will have mercy, he did help alot of people in his life.

الراحمون يرحمهم الرحمن
فأدخلوا السرور على المساكين بالبر والإحسان ، لعل الله أن يرحم الجميع

ok, but how God judges him is up to Him, by sayin may God have mercy on his soul, Im wishing someone who passed away something good. what happens is obviously not in our hands..

lets say a very “corrupt”, or very “sinful” muslim passes, I can say allah yir7ama to him?

my point is, these words are said with good intention on a person who passed away.

Hmmm, can’t say I feel particularly sad since I’ve long moved on from MJ and pop music in general. It is a shame though. My first memories of music are of MJ songs. I would have been more affected if this was one of the artists I admire that is currently still making great music. But oh well. At least he got to make some great music.
