I wouldn't have expected it to have this kind of impact on me. Very very unexpected and sad.

I really didn't expect this (but who does?). While I may not have approved of a lot of what he did, so many of my memories occurred with his music in the background. RIP

This seriously was so sad and unnerving to me. I remember as a kid watching the jackson five and "crushing" on michael. When I first saw the moonwalk, I thought it was magical. He was so enormously talented, and yes so tortured. I am thinking of his kids and family.

Multiple reports: Michael Jackson dies at 50 - CNN.com

Not "confirmed" yet according to CNN but google seems to have a lot of news outlets saying the same thing

MTV is doing a tribute of his music right now. I guess it takes me back to my youth.

Sad, sad day. I loved him as a child. I once wrote him a letter and he read it on an awards show. I'll never forget that. So sad for the world to lose Farrah too.

Unbelievable! I heard the news and thought it was a cruel joke. I'm watching old videos on youtube.

I am so sorry to hear about Michael!! I usually dislike hollywood types but I couldn't help but be a fan of MJ.
I didn't know his kids had a bmom... CNN commentators were saying that the bio mom has no say although none of them were biologically related to MJ.
