The King of Pop is dead

This is totally uncalled for.

Agreed. I'm tired of reading people's brain-dead comments. Delete, please.

According to his post, it was the Daily Star's cover, but I wouldn't doubt if it were also The Sun's cover, since they always do crap like that.

WHAT!? I hate those sick bastards! Why don't they have respect for the death? I heard from much people that they never ever really listened to Michael Jackson, but they listen to his music all day now.

Speaking of which - when did everyone here first get into Jackson's music? If at all?

For me, it was after I heard Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal.

I just had to hear the original - like them both.

I've never actively pursued his music.  I know what I know mostly from Weird Al.

When I found out Eddie Van Halen played on "Beat It" I dug deeper.

[nintendodork]

Beat It is the only song I have by him on iTunes, because of Van Halen's solo, and because it's not like a whole lot of his other music.  Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal is pretty good, too.

I love Michael's music. I listened to it a ton when I was little. My parents had Dangerous on CD. That was my first intro to it. I also watched Moonwalker 15 or more times back then. I didn't like anything he did after Dangerous, except for his duet with Janet. It was in college that I looked back at his early stuff with the Jackson 5.

BTW: I didn't mind listening to Alien Ant Farm's cover, but I hated the video...that lead singer looked like an idiot and reminded me of a cousin.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

The video was a complete joke.  But that's why I liked it - anti gravity.

Heh, when my last name was Crimmins, my P.E teacher called me Smooth Criminal

So, no new album then after all.

I knew it. I knew it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31694673/ns/entertainment-music/

I rephrase it: No REAL new album.

I'm sure those unreleased stuff will sell like mad, though.

[JC]

Sounds like some's new stuff -- don't know if the new stuff is enough for a real album. A lot of it will be old crap.

[FamicomFreak]

Ah man it will be interesting to listen to some unreleased songs. I might just be crazy enough to buy it!
