For me it's 'Remember The Time', just because I've always loved it. Classic stuff.

I somehow doubted that the comeback concerts would ever happen, that he'd pull out or ill health would stop them. When the postponements were made public I thought about all the fans who would be gnashing their teeth in anger and disappointment. I never thought that he'd die.
It's fair to say that I haven't been much of a fan of his in recent years, but over the years I bought a fair amount of his records, both with the Jackson Five and as a solo artist.
My favourite Jackson Five album is the final one they recorded for Motown in 1975, Moving Violation, it's a great thumping disco album with an excellent cover of Diana Ross and The Supremes Forever Came Today.
For all his solo successes, and let's not doubt his talent, I still think 1979's Off The Wall is a far better album than Thriller. After Bad I thought he'd lost his way a little and I began to lose interest in his music.
His "wacko" behaviour in recent years did nothing to endear him to me any further, and like the rest of the world, wondered what had gone wrong with his mental state.
I'm truly shocked by the news of his death, and no matter what anybody thinks or says of Michael Jackson, today the world has lost a monumental talent whose contribution to popular music should not be forgotten or overlooked.
RIP Michael Jackson.

The main problem is that he is no longer biodegradable, what are they going to do with the body?
One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

Any chance we could save the tasteless comments/jokes until at least the next day? Seems a bit out of place on a thread where some of us are still trying to come to terms with the fact that a childhood hero and legend has gone.

He's made loads of good ones but the words of One Day In Your Life seem pretty apt right now.
One day in your life
you'll remember a place
Someone's touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...
One day in your life
When you find that you're always longing
for the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there

They were doing back-to-back MJ at the Les Mills gym at lunchtime. His music is still very popular in the Les Mills Body Step/Attack/Jam programs of aerobics to set music.

That's possibly my favourite Jackson song of all, Stephen...it's the one which I'll remember him for most. While I haven't really been much of a fan of his stuff from 'Bad' onwards (although there were still some great songs scattered through this period) it was his 70s/early 80s stuff, both with the Jackson 5 and solo - up to and including 'Thriller' - which featured his really classic stuff.
Unfortunately his personal life eventually overshadowed his music, and he became something of a laughing stock, a figure of ridicule because of his plastic surgery and choice of pets. Personally I'll prefer to remember him as he was in my youth...as has already been said, a phenomenal talent who will be greatly missed.
Micheal Jackson, RIP.

It's only a couple of weeks ago that Jay Leno in his last Tonight Show thanked Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Michael Jackson for keping him going with material for 17 years. Nobody's fault, but I'm not sure Jackson always (ever?) had somebody standing next to him to keep him grounded and whisper in his ear when he was about to do something which gave the comedians more ammunition.
Potentially also very serious consequences for the hospitality industry in London from the loss of the concerts- I would guess that a lot of low paid people doing casual work in the concessions at the O2 won't now have jobs and the hotels are going to have a lot of cancellations.

It's shocking news isn't it?
I have to say, as is possibly well known, I've never been a huge fan and that's probably not going to change, but it is very sad to hear. In many ways he's a tragic reminder that fame doesn't always bring happiness with it and thatalways being in the spotlight, right from your childhood isn't healthy.
RIP Michael.

I can't believe it.
But then scarcely anything in Michael Jackson's life has been believable, from his astonishing success to his ultimate decline. Floating a statue of himself down the Thames, building up Neverland Ranch, the endless plastic surgery, dangling a baby out of a window, that man is gone. But then, so is the man who brought us some fabulous music, who helped to bring black and white music to come together, who seemed to genuinely care about things in the world when someone in his position so easily could have become utterly arrogant.
It's an unreal and shocking end to an unreal and shocking life. Wherever he is now, I hope he's free.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
