MJ thread. DO NOT READ IF MJ'S DEATH HAS UPSET YOU

I thought it was a decent post but I also think that got it wrong there. Individually, I don't think that most people are as affected by his death as would of their friend and family. However, MJ has, at the very least, a tiny bit of influence to most of his fans at some point. So what we have is hundreds of million fans, if not more, show a varying level of emotion towards the man who may have contributed in their memory via their songs. I reckon that the fans are showing more emotion toward his death than the death of someone they do not know who had zero influence on them that they know of. Granted, you are going to get unusual cases - but I doubt that's the norm.

your right. it's not the majority like that, it's the crazy fans and the other folks caught up in the drama. the same with diana really, but i think some of the MJ fans are a bit more severe than the most devoted diana fans. i don't think anyone committed suicide when diana died, but at least 12 fanatics of MJ have so far. i bet none of them ever got within farting distance of MJ

To be honest, I've not bothered following the MJ stories after the news first came out so I was unaware of the suicides. That does come across as absurd, I agree, but considering the number of fans he had, I am (regretfully) not too surprised that there are people who will take it so far.

Actually, I think that people committing suicide in sympathy is kind of appropriate. We are losing losers and it's not much of a loss. How stupid do you have to be to top yourself because a singer died? Admittedly, I had a few beers the day I heard about Kurt Cobain, and emailed my daughter when Dimebag Darrell was murdered, but that's as excited as I get.

RIP Kurt.

MJ the game

This one is the probably the worst:
Get your Micheal Jackson Death certificate

It's everywhere. Even the supermarkets are stocking all his music on display.

Do you think MJ's family will bag enough money to pay off that debt he had?

I went to one of his exhibitions, and it was actually really interesting, although it does make you quite hungry :|

MJ the game

To some extent, I am surprised that Moonwalker has not been re-released on Xbox Live Arcade/Wii Virtual console.

Okay, I know it is The Sun newspaper but on this link check out the video on this page:
THE SUN MJ INJECTION MARKS

I know such newspapers print a lot of crap and this could be more crap. But bloody hell.

A real loss to the music industry. In my opinion, he simply danced himself to death.

OH GREAT, SOMETHING ELSE THAT WILL GET A HEALTH WARNING

[CaseyV9]

He did not dance. He floated. With the help of the drugs that killed him.

His days contributing to the music industry was long gone.
He simply did a tour because of debt.

He is probably contribing more now he is dead as his music is is selling craploads.

Hardly a noteworthy source but;

Michael Jackson has earned £60million in the 50 days since his death.

[...]

Another £60million is expected by the end of the year – putting Jacko on course to beat even Elvis Presley’s beyond-the-grave earnings.
