Get ready for an ugly battle over his estate, be it creditors or family members.

Sad

I know he was certainly a little bit "out there", but I am genuinely saddened by this news. I hope he now can find the peace that eluded him in life.

As ABC News said, in his prime he was a "dazzling singer and a breakthrough dancer."

I heard he weighed 120 lbs during his trial when he should have been in the 200 range. The guy had more issues than anyone I've ever seen. Sad news.

Well, I guess that is it...RIP Mike. What an AMAZING performer you were.

Another reminder for me to get off my *** and live life to the fullest.

He had a hard life. His dad was very abusive and I don't think he ever recovered from it. Wierd guy too. I'm sure this latest trial took a few years off him. If those people lied they should be ashamed of themselves.

RIP Mike and Farrah.

Im bumping Man in the Mirror right now : .

Well, this is gigantic news. 50 is sure young.

Amazing talent.

Besides the parties involved, I don't think anyone will ever know if the allegations were true.

Stigma-wise, being accused of molestation is almost as bad as being convicted of it as people are always going to have their opinion no matter what the outcome of the trial.

Every performer doing a concert tonight should have a moment of silence.

He showed up to court every day looking like and 80 year old man. I don't know why he weighed so little, but dying at 50 raises some eyebrows. They did an age progression on him and he should have looked like his older brother, but he looked like some freak with strange hair, a strange face, and light skin. I don't know if it was drugs or what.

RIP Michael. One of the great entertainers of our time, like him or not......RIP Michael.

Agreed.
I'm reminded of when Elvis died. It was so unexpected and sad. Jackson was an amazing talent, but there will be those who will focus on the down side. AS noted by others, his life was marked by both tragedy and triumph. I choose to focus on Michael the artist, not Michael the eccentric. I will haul out Off the Wall,Thriller and Bad and focus on the music. Perhaps his best years were behind him, but that shouldn't diminish his contribution.
R.I.P. Michael.

It's just crazy because it seems every year we lose prominent people in shocking fashion.
