Honest to God I'm fed up to the back teeth with all this. I know in his day he was a great musical talent and its a sad loss but this is just getting out of hand.

Getting on for 2 weeks after he died and its still front page news. The other day he got on the news before the 2 Soldiers who got killed. This madness has got to stop.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

I can agree to a certain extent but its what his fans want.

His music was more powerfull than most weopans of war! His following is so huge, that the papers/media know it will sell.

The problem isn't with too much Jackson coverage, its too little other important stuff!

Jade Goody, that was a farce, But not THE king of pop.

Tptally agree Imurg.

He was a pain in the ring alive and is becoming even more of one now he's pan bread.

The quicker he's forgotten the better IMHO

I'm with Imurg.

What really hacked me off was a quote by someone called Usher. Which as far as I was aware was a job title, but nevermind.

I quote. "With music, he (Michael Jackson) made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world."

And from some bloke who doesn't understand punctuation. Will.I.Am

"I wouldn't be surprised if the world stopped spinning tomorrow."

Now I'm sorry. MJ is not, sorry was not, Martin Luther King.

He made some catchy pop tunes with the real genius, that is Qunincy Jones.

Yes I feel sorry for the direct family, the kids etc. As with Jade Goody. But this ongoing saga is just tripe.

HID was watching downstairs and everytime I popped down for a drink it looked more like a black rights rally than a memorial service. I wasn't a huge fan after Thriller and Bad but recognise his talent. We've paid our rspects now lets get back to a semblance of order and look at the bigger picture like our troops dying, 7/7 and the global economy

fortunately I was out playing so missed it but the little I caught on the news (way too much of it there too) was so ott it was sick making.

surprised they didn't open the box and let them all have a souvenir.

I wish I could say I cared, but I don't. This guy was widely regarded by the press and his peers as a paedophile and a freak, but now they are all faking their love and adulation. His death, which appears to involve his regular use of proprofol, a drug used as an an anaesthetic, is just another bizarre twist.

I didn't see his daughter speak, but I wonder if she knows the family is $400 million in debt. Thanks, Daddy.

I bet Gary Glitter is looking forward to his post-mortem redemption. By comparison, his behaviour was mild.

HID has just told me that apparently he had a heart attack on the cardiac ward after having a stroke on the childrens ward. ;)

Apparently the story is that Farrah Fawcett arrived in heaven and God decided to reward her for her good life, so he offered her one wish which He would grant. She said she wanted to protect all the little children, so He killed Michael Jackson.
