R.I.P!Our King of Pop...
Uh, I was like "wtf, who makes such a lame and cruel joke.." when I first read it written by a random person. I couldn't believe it. I googled and BAM, I got it confirmed that it was true.
It's such sad news and I'm so chocked. 50 years old is still a very very young age, come on, he should have had lots of years more to go.. and I was quite looking forward for his comeback. He's always been there somewhere and now he's suddenly... just nowhere. And I never got the chance to see him. ): Omg.
RIP MJ.

The fact that Micheal Jackson died is so shocking and unbelievable. This morning I heard MJ songs, then heard the DJ saying something about a tribute for MJ's death. I seriously couldn't believe it.
MJ was rain's idol, mentor. He inspired rain's dance moves making him such an awesome dancer today. MJ died on Rain's birthday! 25th of June. =(
This is just so hard to believe. Rest In Peace Micheal Jackson. You will always be a legend, you will never be forgotten! <3
R.I.P Michael Jackson...
you are the King that will never be forgotten..
Goodbye...Your songs, your dance and your legacy will be alive forever~
i still shock with this news..hope his family can accept it with open heart~
I am sad for MJ, I grew up with his music....I also feel bad for Rain since his idol died on his birthday :(
he is indeed the one brought up the dancing world...he is a legend.
