RIP: Michael Jackson
前无古人，后无来者。他使一个时代产生，并且把它推向巅峰。随着他的离去结束了这个时代。
迈克尔.杰克逊，现代音乐史中的奇葩！

too bad this legend never performed in mainland china. there will not be another person in our life time that carries such a weight as much as MJ. he missed china, and china missed him... ...
Great job, Jeremy!

Very resourceful, as usual.

Who cares. Singer dies, get over it.
RIP: Michael Jackson. A poor, sad, lonely man, of immense talent.

your great name never disappears in the world. even the world will be vanished,
my Mj, you has said goodbye us peacefully, but we will miss you, remember you by heart.
