Believe me... I could go on and on. Actually he did screw up his life. People bothering him for his money has nothing to do with anything... :face: But still, his songs were great.... His nose fell off before he died. | |

| - My Hometown Newspaper wrote:
He was the king of pop and a troubled soul; a pop-culture icon who recorded the top-selling album of all time before allegations of sexual misconduct tarnished his reputation forever.
It's simply not possible to overstate Michael Jackson's impact on popular culture in the 1980s. His 1982 album, "Thriller," is the best-selling album of all time worldwide, with sales of more than 100 million units, and Jackson's influence continues to loom large over the worlds of pop, hip-hop and R&B. He was a gifted singer, a talented songwriter and a flashy dancer, and no one in the early '80s made better use of what was then a new format — the music video.
Not only was Jackson the first black artist to land a video in rotation on MTV, the 14-minute monster-movie clip for "Thriller" topped the cable channel's 1999 retrospective of the Top 100 music videos. It also won a Grammy and sold more than 9 million copies, making it the best-selling music video of all time.
"A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us," musician John Mayer said via the social networking service Twitter. "I think we'll mourn his loss as well as the loss of ourselves as children listening to 'Thriller' on the record player."
Mayer, a 31-year-old Fairfield native, was one of millions of youngsters who came of age listening to the blend of R&B, funk and rock on Jackson's opus, which featured vocals from Paul McCartney and a guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen.
Jackson got an early start in show business, fronting the Jackson 5 — a group comprising him and his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon — when he was just 10 (although his age at the time was given as 8). After eight Top 10 pop singles and 18 Top 10 R&B singles, Jackson left the family band to expand the solo career that he had begun with 1972's "Got To Be There," which came out when he was 12.
His first solo album as an adult, 1979's "Off the Wall," was his true breakthrough, showcasing an artist of such depth and talent that there seemed to be no limit to what he could accomplish. "Thriller" merely confirmed that impression three years later, and suddenly pop culture revolved around Jackson.
His one white sparkly glove, black loafers with white socks, the zippered red-leather jacket — all of them became instantly recognizable trademarks, and his introduction of the moonwalk during a televised Motown anniversary concert in 1983 was surely the most electrifying musical moment on TV since the Beatles played "The Ed Sullivan Show."
If "Thriller" made him a star in the United States, Jackson's 1987 follow-up, "Bad," catapulted him to worldwide superstardom. He toured for the first time without his brothers, and was greeted by screaming hordes of fans everywhere he went.
After the release of his "Dangerous" album in 1991, though, Jackson's music was increasingly overshadowed by a series of bizarre events, including drug addiction, accusations that he sexually abused a 13-year-old boy (Jackson settled a civil suit out of court and was never charged) and his brief marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, epitomized in the public consciousness by the awkward kiss the couple shared at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.
He continued to release albums: The first volume of his hits compilation "HIStory" came out in 1995, with a second showing up in 2001, about the same time that he released the studio album "Invincible." By then, though, the singer's music was something of a sideshow.
Jackson was accused of sexual abuse again in 2003 after a British television documentary called into question his relationship with another 13-year-old boy. This time Jackson was charged, and although he was found not guilty after a lengthy trial, the negative publicity and expense prompted Jackson to move out of the United States.
Despite banking hundreds of millions of dollars from album sales and concert tours, Jackson's expenses exceeded his income to the point when, in 2006, he shuttered Neverland Ranch, his private amusement park, to save money.
Earlier this year, Jackson announced plans to perform a string of concerts at London's O2 Arena. What had started as 10 shows blossomed into 50, all of which sold out.
Jackson's death came as a shock, judging by reaction online and on various social networking sites.
"I'm devastated over this but we all have memories," Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, drummer for Philadelphia hip-hop band the Roots, said in a series of posts on Twitter. "I just hope that he will get due justice in all the press memorials and whatnot. I know he was mired in controversy the last decade of his life but I think it's time we let him rest in peace and learn to separate the art and the artist."
Indeed, despite his troubles, Jackson was a noted philanthropist, co-writing the 1984 hit "We Are the World," which raised millions of dollars for the USA for Africa famine-relief effort. He was also once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for his support of 39 charities. | |

Believe me... I could go on and on. Actually he did screw up his life. People bothering him for his money has nothing to do with anything... :face: But still, his songs were great.... His nose fell off before he died. Umm... It does have something to do with it because people were sueing him when he didn't do anything. And his nose was "falling off" because he broke it and had to get surgery. :roll: And tell me again... How did he screw his life up? | |
