Michael Jackson Beats It

Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 - June 26, 2009

The King of Pop is gone.

Yes, it's been years since he last had a real hit.
Yes, he's never really been the same Michael Jackson who broke into the big-time with the brilliant videos for Thriller and Beat It and so on.
Yes, he was severely damaged by the child molestation charges against him.
Yes, he often seemed more caricature rather than singer.
Yes, he was probably the weirdest superstar of our time, or anyone's time, for that matter.

But he will still be missed. Not because we actually still want to hear more from him in song, but more because "Ben", "Thriller", "The Girl is Mine", "Bad" and many others really don't work if it's someone else singing them. He owned them and, for a while, he owned Pop music.

However, it's not really totally implausible that he's just hiding out somewhere in the Nevada desert or wherever ala Howard Hughes. Or Elvis.

You are right! He will be missed by the ones that believed and trusted him. Money is evil, yes, Michael was eccentric, he was a kid that live a life of a grown up to support his lazy father. That's the reason why he love kids, wanted kids to live the life of a kid. He had money and wealth to do it. Because he was lack off a childhood. He was like a kid trusted people; Never thought, people like Evan Chandler dead bid dad would hurt him for personal gain. I hope that person can sleep in peaceflly now that he is gone and that Jordan Chandler can sleep peacefully because they gain money they gain wealth but they will never sleep peacefully. Money can't buy peace of mind!! And as to 2nd allegations arvizo I hope you too can sleep at night. Not only he endure pain on his surgeries he endure pain that the people he trusted, betrayed him! and pain never went away. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten. You will be God's next angel. Because, here in earth you were an angel.................
