Wow....what a week in the entertainment world eh? First Ed McMahon then Farrah this morning and now Michael Jackson!?!



I have fond memories of all 3 and it's sad to see their passing so my best to their loved ones and to all those feeling a bit empty and saddened by this all.

I cant believe it. Just heard about it on the radio after a long 12 hour work day.



I'm 20 years old and he's been my favorite singer since as far back as i can remember.
 
I was shocked also.....but perhaps it is best this way for MJ because I think it would of been really bad for him had his recent come back tour been a flop. On that same note it would of been great to see him do his act one more time just to see if he still had it.



I grew up on Johnny Carson....man I loved that show and it was the last thing I saw on TV just before bed. There will never be another Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. Classic TV.



What can be said of Farrah......I heard it once said that many young teens in my generation went through puberty with her and that unforgettable poster....you all know the one!

I consider the world a better place w/ one less pedifile among us.



God bless all those who lost loved ones as of late.
 
Not a fan of Michael Jackson's music at all but it is sad when anyone dies at only 50. Had Farrah's poster on my wall as a teenager and loved the Tonight Show with Johnny and Ed.

I guess my Grandson is safe now! To bad about Farrah and Ed, both icons in the world. I am sure the press will concentrate on M.J. because they will compare him to Elvis and Frank Sinatra. Also because of the political correctness that prevails in the country. We live in a country that puts perverts and pedophiles on a pedestal and puts people of good moral character on the back burner. Lets thank the media for putting the perverts in the spotlight and disparaging anything good in the world. I feel for his family and children, but to me it is just as sad as hearing about John Gacy.
 
Ahh yes the whole "Guilty until proven innocent" campaign mentality is live and well. Ed and Farah were kind of expected really. MJ was a little off. Didn't really expect that one. But I think MJ did everything he was really ever going to do. I don't feel it's a huge loss or anything. The real odd thing I find though is all 3 have recently fell into serious financial troubles... just an odd coiencidence I guess

Sad but true. MJ is part of the reason pop music today is all about the performance and music itself is secondary. That's why we get manufactured crap like Britney Spears and American Idol.

No. It was just accusations, not charges.

While his talent and impact on pop music culture is undeniable he did lead a very questionable lifestyle, I have a very hard time separating the two.



Some will say that he was never convicted of the child molestation charges but come on, he paid something to the tune of $20 MILLION to make this go away. OJ Simpson was found innocent and there was a body and SOOO much evidence involved with that case that pointed directly to OJ…But MJ choose to pay these people off. If I was EVER charged with something as VILE as this there is no way I would ever just pay someone off and I don’t know of anyone that would.



In my heart of hearts, Mr Jackson was guilty of the charges and there is a very special place in the afterlife for people that do this type of crime.



My heart goes out to his family and loved ones who are in pain during this time and while I will and never would dance on anyone’s grave, I am conflicted (to say the least) about his passing.
 
Guilty...not guilty only those involved will really know. I look at these deaths more in the sense of cultural icons, each in their own right, leaving us.



Let's face it, MJ had a huge impact on the dance, videos and fashion. I believe he was our own Frankenstein who we fashioned and then also turned on.



Farrah ushered in a whole hair style....I mean what girl back in the 70's, 80's didn't want that famous Farrah hairdo? She was simply beautiful and put a whole new meaning to the word "pin-up" girl with her famous poster.



Ed...he was the perfect side kick for Carson....notice no other late night hosts have an "Ed" by their side? I really miss Carson and Ed. There will never be another late night show with that chemistry....IMHO.

So MJ is the reason for Britney? It's offensive just to mention them in the same breath. She simply can't and never could sing.

What I am saying is he helped usher in the performance before the music era. BTW, I NEVER like MJ's music, dislike it just as much as Britney, Backdoor Boys, etc.



Farrah on the other hand...
