When Michael Jackson Died. World, Celebrities and Media reaction

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

I'll tell you how famous this man was. On June 25, 2009, I was 26 years old, and my father and I were going to the Washington Nationals vs. Boston Red Sox games. My father’s a lifelong diehard Sox fan (we ended up going to three more games that summer when they played Baltimore). Anyways, we drive to the game and had to park kind of at a distance, so to accommodate they had a greyhound busing people to the ballpark, and as soon as our bus pulled up to Nationals Park, some guy, some stranger, ran onto the bus and announced back to everyone, "Michael Jackson just died!". The whole bus went completely silent for what felt like 30 seconds, only broken by me shouting out from the back, making sure I heard him right, “he died?!?" So think about it like this, follow me here, this is one of the reasons why I say he is one of, if not the most famous people ever. What other famous person would you feel the need to run onto a Greyhound bus at a Nationals game to frantically announce to a group of strangers that they had died. Who would you ever do that for? The President of the United States, while they were in office, and Michael Jackson are probably the only people in the world someone would feel the need to do that. We went into the park and there was definitely a different feel to the evening compared to any other game I’ve been to. The only thing people were talking about was Michael. When you were walking by groups of people, you could hear that’s what they were talking about. His music was being played everywhere, and while it was a sad moment in history that he had passed, it was amazing to see such a sudden spark in love and appreciation. And while it’s unfortunate that it takes death for this part to happen a lot of the time, seeing everyone come to the realization of just how special this man was, how you will never see something like him again, his memorial being viewed by more than 2 billion people worldwide, it gives you chills. This man was beyond famous, from the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of South America, people know who he is. The entire world stopped that day. RIP MJ

MJ was the start of everything dealing with modern pop music. There wouldn't be any Beyoncé, Jay Z, Ne-yo, Pink, Katy perry, or Lady Gaga if this genius man had never lived. He was an exceptional dancer, a talented singer, a master of entertainment. The artist of the millenium. I'm so thankful for what he has given us through all these years. Music, joy, tolerance, love were his gifts for all of us. May he rest in peace.

TheOnlyOneKing Elvis Yeah his career is based on stealing music from the black culture. Copying his dance, clothes? Are you nuts? Elvis could never dream of doing one dancestep by Michael. I don't see where Michael was copying him lol. But yeah keep hating. If I learned something from defending Michael from haters like you over the years, is that you can discuss with them for hours, show facts and everything but they still believe in their bullsh*t.

Geraldo Rivera nailed it. When MJ was begging for the public to stop condemning him before the truth came out, nobody listened. It took him dying for people to realize what an amazing& genuine artist he was. Truly one of a kind. I've always adored Michael Jackson& now I get to watch my kids sing& dance to him& it makes me happy. MJ had a rough life from beginning to end, people misunderstood him as a freak when in reality he was uniquely beautiful. The media is a cancer& I hope MJ is finally resting at peace.

And what was happening was everyone around me, basically everyone on the planet was devastated.

At that time I was only 8 year old so I couldn't understand English well (i only speak french) so I had too search for the translation to understand the lyrics of his songs but now that I grow up I can understand more so I watched all of his content related to him he wasn't only THE King of pop but a true humanitarian and had soft&kind heart. This man was amazing that he touched my heart throughout his music when I was 8 but the more I learned about his personality the more I understand that we've lost and amazing and unforgettable person.

His death truly devastated me. Honestly i still havent really gotten over it and still cry when i think too much about it. And i feel really silly because i never met the man, i just know him through his music and all the videos and movies. I generally dont think most people these days are worthy of being idols or even holding the title of celebrity but he went way beyond that for me and i think a lot of people. He did not deserve all of the pain in his life that he had to endure. He was a severely misunderstood man who, in all fairness, didnt always do the right things to help his image, but he was not the predator that people have tried to paint him to be. He was so kind, generous, humble, and deserved so much more from this world. I hope that if theres life after this, that he got the best one and is happy. Rest In Peace Michael 💓 its been a dim 12 years without you. We miss you.

This was bigger than even Elvis passing. Michael was and is still arguably the biggest music icon of all time. Geraldo was right. They were demonozing him all through his last years on this earth, only to praise him the second they knew he was gone. This world did not deserve him. He gave this world his all, from an extremely young age......and what ended up happening is he reached the very top. It is hard to stay there. Once someone has gotten to that level, everyone takes a shot at knokcking them down, out of greed and jealousy. They made his life so diffucult, he couldnt sleep like a normal person would. That ultimately led to his death. His song "leave me alone" resonates so much, because maybe if they would have, he'd still be here today.

[@GreekOrthodox7]

Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, he has the #1 and #2 most sold albums of all time, biggest concert tour in history, and the one that should really bring him first place, most awards of any musical artist ever. He also sang about helping the world and changing the world for the better all the time, acted like Jesus would want a human to act, made an amusement park on HIS OWN property for kids and kids with disabilities/cancer. He had visited many hospitals and donated a lot of money. He was also terribly accused, beaten as a child, and so many things which makes him who he was, a great person. But aside his personal things, his voice was amazing, he is the #1 entertainer of all time, and he is the best dancer ever. Freddie and Elvis were great (though Elvis didn't write most of his songs) but in personal character and skill, MJ is better and with all the awards and records he's broken, he is the #1 singer of all time; there will never be another MJ. And music will never be the same.

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

What do you mean he was about to "expose Sony"? He already did do that, like 8 years before this happened. And no one said he took his own life. And just because Latoya Jackson said it was murder does not make it true. Do you have any idea how clueless that women is? He died accidentally while taking a dangerous anaesthetic to sleep, deal with it and move on.

"why would your own sibling make shit up like that?" Who Latoya? Because Latoya is a fucking nutcase. "btw you cant say he died from anaesthetic, since no one really does know how he really died, oh wait unless you were there" Are you serious? They have these things called autopsy's. Have you ever heard of them before? It is something doctors do to a person after they die, they explore their body, run blood tests, examines the organs, and they do all this to figure out exactly how a patient died. And guess what, they did one to Michael Jackson, and it determined he died from the anesthetic. So we actually do know how he died despite your laughable comment. You have absolutely zero, none, nada, evidence MJ was murdered. And Latoya saying "it was murder" is not evidence. We already know what happened, in fact we know exactly what happened, and what happened was not murder.

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

Fakdis WD Close family member? MJ's family had to have appointments to see or speak with him. He wasn't close with any of his family except his mother.

The man at the end is Geraldo Rivera and he was a popular tv host back in the day when Michael and Madonna and that genre was at their peaks in their careers. Geraldo has always been real that's why so many people liked him as well.hes definitely credible . For all you youngans on here lol.

Kings never die...they became legends! And Michael Jackson it's the biggest legend I ever saw in my life!✌️

[@aariffmohd4980]

Seriously i mean how toxic can media really get, Rivera totally nailed it there were hardly any celebs supporting him,chris tucker was one of them who stood by him all times,man it's really heartbreaking and depressing.It really is a cruel world for gentle,pure souls like Michael

[@Pearlsky2023]

Geraldo is so loyal and sincere : LOVE him !!

i'm from Indonesia (in Southeast Asian) i was only 6 when he was died, but i still remember how EVERY SINGLE tv channel broadcast his died news around more than 1 month, broke internet etc. Every single person know who is him and know at least more than 5 of his song. Long live King!❤️

I was in Mexico City this day, and maaaaan when i say every single apartment, taxi, bus, bodega, street market, superstore, mall, etc. Was blasting MJ everyday. I came back to the US to see no one mention a peep about the legend. This man made the whole world dance and sing his mucis amazing

There will never be another artist who impacted the world as much as Michael Jackson did.
