I was shocked, confused and totally heartbroken the first time I heard of the news early this morning c/o Chris on Plurk. I immediately turned on the TV and looked for any news about Michael Jackson until I tuned into CNN. At that time, around 6 a.m., CNN has not yet confirmed his death. But now, 9:00 a.m., it’s been confirmed, he has died of cardiac arrest.
Michael Jackson will be truly missed. He has been my idol all my life. I was already listening to his music together with that of Madonna since the age of five. He was an extraordinary person, artist and performer and there is no one like him in this world and in this lifetime. I am at a loss for words and so is the rest of the world. We love you, Michael. We hope you are happy and at peace wherever you are. You will remain alive in our hearts for all time.
Here’s my most favorite of his songs. The first time I saw him here, that was when I first “romantically” fell in love with him. He was so gorgeous here and how I hoped he never had to change his color and his looks. But I loved him still no matter what.Goodbye Michael. We will always love you.

The first album that my brother bought in his life is Dangerous. He worshipped Jackson for the longest time, and when he heard of all the alleged scandals, it hit him very hard.
Jacko is a depressing figure to me, and it is even more depressing that he is now gone. Had it not been for all the freak stuff he did in the recent years, more people would be staking on him to revitalize the pop music industry where it currently seems to be dominated by identical autotuned garbage music employing singers devoid of talent. Invisible wouldn’t have been his last studio album.
Off the Wall remains as one of my most played albums of all time. The only pop musician who is his equal in talent - ahead of him, let’s be honest - is Prince.
By the way, Roger Ebert’s great article on the bewildering fall of Michael Jackson: http://tinyurl.com/mvgmjo

Yeah. we all grew up with his songs, his stardom and his passion to reach out to everybody through the universal language of music.
You’d see people all happy and ecstatic whenever he’s perform. His presence is overwhelming.
He’s definitely been an influence to me and my music too.
It’s a goodbye from earth, but Michael’s legacy will live on.
