I don't really want to post another posting just cause he is no longer with us. I think most people will reflect on how his life for the past 20 years have been inundated by accusations that were never proven. Too many greedy people thinking he was an easy target to extort money from.
I kind of grew up with MJ's music. I still remember how amazed I was when he came out with two of best pop albums ever - Off The Wall and Thriller. Any artiste would be proud and would have been regarded as a superstar with just one of the two albums to their credit.
He was misunderstood, had a terrible childhood, a teenager that never had a chance to grow up properly. He was a victim of circumstances and all that should never taint his super-star-dom.
I hope many will come out to say the truth and clarify the untruths about MJ. I cannot believe he was 50. I have to say that the greatest musical influence and talent for the last 50 years would have the Beatles at the top and MJ as a close second.
MJ's albums shot up the updated Bestsellers albums list almost immediately on the new. Its absolutely appropriate.

Jackson queries cause Google meltdown
A deluge of search queries for Michael Jackson led Google News, the news aggregator of web search engine Google, to initially believe it was under attack, the internet giant said.
Google, in a blog post on the company website on Friday, said that "millions and millions" of people around the world begin searching for news about the pop star on Thursday as reports emerged about his hospitalisation and death.
It rated the "hotness" of Jackson-related searches as "volcanic".
"The spike in searches related to Michael Jackson was so big that Google News initially mistook it for an automated attack," Google said.
"As a result, for about 25 minutes yesterday, when some people searched Google News they saw a 'We're sorry' page before finding the articles they were looking for," it said.
The "We're sorry" page tells users their query "looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application" and forces them to type in a series of squiggly characters before it will process their request.
Popular micro-blogging service Twitter also suffered a slowdown in performance on Thursday as users exchanged thousands of messages per minute about Jackson's death at the age of 50.
Web portal AOL said its AIM instant messaging service was down for about 40 minutes.
Yahoo! said the news area on its front page received five times its normal traffic and its front page story "Michael Jackson rushed to hospital" was its "highest clicking story" ever with 800,000 clicks within 10 minutes.
