I can't bear to do it.
No. When Zowan died on MH a while back, they kept playing the character afterwards as a memorial. Michael Jackson will live on on FFU, even if he died in real life.

Talon, the difference here is that Zowan WAS A CHARACTER. James died. But the character and his stories had always been written by Liz.
...You did NOT just compare Zowan to Michael Jackson...

Was way too early for him to die, especially like this.
I dunno, I still haven't gotten the shock out of my system. Farrah Fawcett's gone too, I can't believe that.
The worst part is that there's jerks out there that can't even wait for the weekend to blow over before they start prattling off about all the scandals that followed him. Yeah, you know what, he was a strange individual, but he went through things that no one can hope to understand. I think he was just really misunderstood, and that's the worst thing I can possibly bring myself to say about him.
Nobody can fill his shoes, or hope to do things on even a fraction of the scale he did. This world just won't be the same without Michael Jackson.

Mm, there are plenty of people I've yelled at today for telling hurtful jokes about him already. Plenty of which on how he had died. It's ridiculous, why mock someone when they pass away? Does it make it okay that they can't kick you themselves, now?
People are remembering him for the wrong reasons. Yes, he did some 'weird' stuff - but every individual is weird in their own way and that's just how Michael Jackson lived his life. It's nothing anyone should judge him for anywhere apart from in their own mind. When someone gives their life and all to doing what they love, then that's what everyone should take pride in. His music was amazing, even people who weren't all too fond of him can't really say he didn't have talent.
I sortof 'hope', in a way, that it's not true. Though I know it is. He's a legend of his own sorts and someone you sort of expect to always be there if you've grown up with his name in the limelight. Everyone's going to miss both his person and his music and his dancing - fifty was too young.

Anno, I always thought he'd be among the handful of important people in the world that would be cryo-frozen like Vanilla Ice. XD
Well, after all the antagonistic pricks out there are done taking their jabs at, as Shad said, someone who can't even stand up for himself anymore, all that everyone else will remember will be the fame and glory he had amassed over the decades.
Am I the only person who doesn't give a smeg that he's dead? I mean, he was basically a recluse for the last 10 years or more of his life, haven't people had time to get used to him not being around?
Sheesh.
He was a singer. Alright, a pretty good one, who did some great stuff way back when, but let's have some perspective here. People die. Even famous people.

And now, before people attack my indifference and irritation at being forced to change channels 200 times to avoid the latest "The life of" "The music of" or "The fricking messed up mind of"... I don't care.
