Sorry to start another MJ thread, but if I see 'have some respect' one more time, I might have to peel my face off (not as a tribute).
Some people didn't like him. A fact not changed by him snuffing it. Get over it.
havent got the time or the notion to read thru 21 pages which this thread has so far clocked up but I think the OP makes a very good point and whilst it is sad that somebody has died, I have to say that Mr Jackson never touched my life either musically or otherwise so I cant muster up any more upset about his death than some random in the newspaper that I have never heard of. Yes, he was talented but not my cuppa tea. In many respects he had a sad life, especially his childhood, but he also had lots of opportunites because of that lifestyle which us mere mortals never encounter. I am sorry that he has died young and as such will be immortalised like so many others before him who have also died young but for me personally I will not be shedding a tear
