Thank God; a voice of sanity!

I'm right there with you, couldn't stand him or his music when he was alive, now I have to endure a radio comeback and get those irritating 'hits' stuck in my head, most annoying! What gets me though, is that people are so surprised by his death. Even as someone who avoided as much information about him as possible, I was not at all surprised, could see it coming a mile away. If anything I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

It's funny how things change. I remember Michael (as did Princess Di) wanting a break from the media, but the media don't do that do they? Figured you would have known this Bill.

The media frenzy that surrounds a celebrity (even in death) will only stop if the celebrity can no longer sell their stories. This one still has some ways to go before it'll end.

This is why I don't buy into trashy, tabloids - but while people continue to buy them, I don't expect them to go away, nor do I expect news media to be free from sensationalistic journalism. News is a business too.

RIP Michael Jackson.

100% behind you !!!

Er... then why write another article about him?

This is not a voice of sanity. This is merely his opinion. I feel there hasnt been enough coverage and im sick of righteous journalists draggin mj down even more. He was the man. You arent. Thats why people care.

Finally! some one who agrees with the way I've been feeling!! I have just wanted this whole thing to be over. So, what he died; big deal. Everyone dies sometime. Some of us take our own lives but why should someone who had plastic surgery to be a different colour from that they were born get to spend so much time in the lime light? When Lady Di died there wasn't all this going sh!t. Hang Lady Di was a member of the Royal Family not a signer (who in my eyes didn't do music that was that good anymore). Let his thing drop. There must be more important things to report on then Wacko Jacko & the whole 'He said, She said' thing.

I have to agree with your blog.

Unfortunately as long as tabloid 'newspapers' and magazines(you know who they are) continue to exploit neanderthal readers by printing drivel about 'celebs' then the stories will go to print.

MJ is the Lennon/Elvis/Joplin(Janis)/Morrison(Jim)/Scott(Bon)/Miller(Glenn) of his era. An incredible talent. Sorely missed. Gone before his time.

RIP MJ - as for the rest of you - in his own words '..just leave me alone...'

Remember the saying 'if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing' ? For goodness sake, the man is dead! If you are sick of heaing about MJ, then why have you clicked onto this news article and bothered leaving a message? Go away, really, go do something else. MJ is a legend, there will never be anyone as great, so unless you have something nice to say about him, go annoy someone else, your words have no substance and we don't want to hear any negativity about a person who has positively influenced so many..

@ Dan, is that why you are the only one thus far with your opinion? *rolls eyes*

@ Trevor this is a blog, we can contribute, it's a little different, we can use it as an outlet to say 'hell yeah, I am so sick of hearing about it! :-)

@ Bill - could not agree more, let him RIP and let us have some news without hearing about him.
