Gone too soon

Maybe not. I believe Michael Jackson went at the right time. I do not beleive he would have become some iconic legend if he's grown old and died peacefully in his sleep. James Brown although remembered by lots never had this type of mourning. So to me he was meant to go now. What do others reckon would he have been remembered if he'd not died now

the kids he abused would remember him whenever he died

My post was not about that, and yet again no one knows for sure what went on.

I agree with you 4getmenot, the shock wouldn't have been so strong if this had happened last year before announcing his comeback and as these were going to be his last shows, in a year or two from now if he hadn't brought out anymore discs, the impact wouldn't have been so strong neither.
danchip he was found NOT GUILTY.

I bet Jordy Chandler knows....

Well, Disco Fever Jordan Chandler has owned up to telling lies, forced at the time by his father.

What if Princess Diana had married Dodi in 1997 and moved to some Island somewhere then in August this year she died in that car crash, would there be the same public sobbing? Would Elton John be up in that church singing that irritating song? Of course not.

If Posh and Becks died in a plane crash at the height of his and her career, there would be public mourning, 52 page ok spreads, dvd's, you name it. If Posh and Becks die in a plane crash in 10 years time, it would most likely not raise more than an eyebrow, well certainly no more than a couple of newsdays.

Jackson was in the public eye, more so because of his up coming concerts. Prior to the concerts being announced, how many Jackson songs were being played on the radio?/Who even mentioned him unless it was to do with the aforementioned abuse cases?

It's all about being in the public eye at the right time.
