Good synopsis by Andrew Sullivan:
There are two things to say about him. He was a musical genius; and he was an abused child. By abuse, I do not mean sexual abuse; I mean he was used brutally and callously for money, and clearly imprisoned by a tyrannical father. He had no real childhood and spent much of his later life struggling to get one. He was spiritually and psychologically raped at a very early age - and never recovered. Watching him change his race, his age, and almost his gender, you saw a tortured soul seeking what the rest of us take for granted: a normal life.
But he had no compass to find one; no real friends to support and advise him; and money and fame imprisoned him in the delusions of narcissism and self-indulgence. Of course, he bears responsibility for his bizarre life. But the damage done to him by his own family and then by all those motivated more by money and power than by faith and love was irreparable in the end. He died a while ago. He remained for so long a walking human shell.
I loved his music. His young voice was almost a miracle, his poise in retrospect eery, his joy, tempered by pain, often unbearably uplifting. He made the greatest music video of all time; and he made some of the greatest records of all time. He was everything our culture worships; and yet he was obviously desperately unhappy, tortured, afraid and alone.
I grieve for him; but I also grieve for the culture that created and destroyed him. That culture is ours' and it is a lethal and brutal one: with fame and celebrity as its core values, with money as its sole motive, it chewed this child up and spat him out.
I hope he has the peace now he never had in his life. And I pray that such genius will not be so abused again.

RIP Michael Jackson, you will be missed.
One thing i got to say
let MJ's life be a testament to artists
most people burn their lives out before they are 21
he at least had it and lost it all by the time he was 50
i wont comment on his personal life or other issues
i can only comment (and care about the music)
the growth was unprecedented
i can say this cause lets be serious.. we gave up on michael jackson music years ago
hell record industries tried to bring in a biggie to his albums to help sales and growth (what year was that?)
lets be honest no one goes ga ga over a new MJ song
but kids under 10 years old know old school MJ songs
______
There was a white comedian on def comedy jam (the early years) who said MJ was bigger than jesus.. ask a kid anything, they dont know.. but ask a kid about michael jackson? and they could qoute lyrics.. the joke was the jesus put that song in your heart.
its not that deep.. it was a joke but i hope i can count on someone on bgol to find that def comedy jam white boy clip
