Like someone else said, I was not too thrilled about his last years i.e. magical times in neverland lol and the baby over the balcony stunt but before his ideals and skin color changed he was very talented, one of the best dancers the world will ever see.

Michael Jackson set to be embalmed at the O2 Centre after missing the deadline for cryogenic freezing

Michael Jackson will live on as a 'plastinated' creature preserved by German doctor Gunther von Hagens.

Von Hagens has caused controversy with everyone from the Pope to the chief rabbi in Israel with his practice of embalming corpses with preserving polyurethane.

Yesterday, he declared:
Quote:
'An agreement is in place to plastinate the King
Von Hagens said that he spoke with representatives of the Jackson family 'many months ago' and it was agreed that his body will be plastinated and placed next to Bubbles, his late pet monkey who was plastinated a number of years ago and is exhibited at The Body Worlds & Mirror Of Time exhibition at the O2 Centre in London.
Von Hagens also confirmed it was one of Michael's final requests to be reunited with Bubbles.

'There is no better place than to do this at the venue where Jackson was due to perform his world record 50-date tour,' said a spokesman for Von Hagens.

He added: 'Von Hagens has hinted that a moonwalk pose would naturally be favoured. 'It is hoped the exhibit will be unveiled towards the end of July.'

It was widely believed that the singer, who died yesterday from a heart attack, was interested in having his body frozen in the hope he could later be brought back to life.
However, it is now too late for his wish to be granted as the freezing process - cryonics - must be initiated almost immediately after death but an autopsy on Jackson's body still needs to be carried out.

His personal life was a mess, even though I never bought the molestation accusations. Too much opportunism involved on everyone's part. But no matter what you end up talking about, you always end on the fact that he was a great entertainer. No one put on a show, or made a video like him. His fame was his curse more than a blessing. I'm not ashamed to admit, I'll miss him. His songs comprised almost half of the stuff on my MP3 player. I'm chagrined that another of my childhood icons is gone, as I was very much into Micheal, Luther, Barry, Ray. Gone Too Soon, indeed.

Pity I'm too fat to do the moonwalk with any credibility anymore. But back in the day, I remember when everyone had the red jacket. Crap, I just remembered my brother even had the Jheri Curl.

I did an avatar set on my site, since I'm not good with tributes. Only thing I could think to do: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53244

Heres the latest

Jackson Family Doesn't Trust Michael's Doc

Michael Jackson's family has its suspicions about Dr. Conrad Murray and what went down on the day Jackson died.

A source close to the family feel Dr. Murray should not be cleared of any wrongdoing just yet. The family requested a second autopsy to find out what the last drug Jackson took was. We're told the family feels once those results are known, a criminal investigation will take place.

We're also told the family is questioning Dr. Murray's abilities as a doctor. In the 911 call, the caller says Dr. Murray was performing CPR on Jackson on a bed; CPR is routinely performed on a hard surface.

"If you're a doctor, how can you not know how to do CPR?"

Makes you wonder???

I'm not a big fan of Michael Jackson himself but a couple of his songs were pretty good. Him being dead doesn't affect me in the slightest bit.

Theres Rumours now that the his children may not be his, Michael has always stated that his skin condition is due to an illness thats why he went white, but his children born to a white mother would be half cast, and not white european.

Michaels mother is now saying she wants custody of the kids, But his ex wife Debbie Rowe, is now saying that Michael wasn't even the father

Kinda makes you wonder :erm:

Granted they'd probably do DNA testing to make sure they were his kids but if they didn't she'd be one dumb +++++ to say they weren't his.. He's still got money somewhere and will continue to make more since he's dead so it'd be going to the children. Oh well..

This is really getting old. Yes, the man (or whatever you want to call it) sang some good songs, but all in all, the man(?) was a pervert. Plain and simple.
