I'm also finding this hard to accept, he was my childhood hero. His music means so much to me and millions of others, and it will live on forever. Rest in peace, Michael.

Words can't even described this man and what he has done. May he dance and sing in heaven with the greats that passed before him!

Elvis...the Beattles...please...did Elvis start performing professionally at 8yo? Did the Beattles set trends in music, music videos, dance(2 words -- robot and moonwalk) and fashion? Did either one of them have as many hits (from a single album nontheless). Who has the highest selling album of all time? This man was truly special...and yes, the GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED period. People (the media) want to focus on the trouble he had. I can't stand people who judge others as if theyre underwear is spotless. I don't even "see" those idiots. I look at all that Michael gave to the world. The 1st record that I ever bought(I was 6yo in 1971)was a 45 single of "I Want You Back" (B side was "Mamas Pearl"). From the time I 1st saw him on TV I wanted to dance and sing just like him. He will be forever missed but not forgotten. There will never be another...Rest in peace my friend.

I am still in total shock. We have lost one of the greatest musicians and style icons of the past century. I am reminded of the fragility of life, and that we must live our best lives each and every day.
