Questions On Jackson's Death
People search the Web to find answers. And Thursday, when Michael Jackson died, people across the country and around the world had a lot of questions. Below is a summary of some of the most popular lookups surrounding the untimely death of the King of Pop...
1. Who dubbed Jackson the "King of Pop"?: Searches on Jackson's famous nickname surged an astounding 3,645% yesterday. Related searches on who came up with the phrase were also extremely popular. While most believe that Jackson anointed himself "The King of Pop," according to sources on the Web, Elizabeth Taylor actually coined the phrase at a 1989 awards gala. Jackson is rumored to have insisted that MTV call him by his royal nickname.
2. When did Elvis die?: The sudden and tragic death of Jackson brought back memories of another king who died too soon. Queries on "death of elvis," "when did elvis die," and "how did elvis die" all surged into breakout status. For the record, Presley passed away on August 16, 1977. He was 42 when he died of an apparent drug overdose. Also surging in search: "When did John Lennon die." The Beatle was killed on December 8, 1980.
3. Heart attack vs. cardiac arrest: Reports that Jackson had died of cardiac arrest spurred incredible interest in the difference between that and a heart attack. A heart attack is when a portion of the heart muscle dies due to a blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. Cardiac arrest is when the heart actually stops beating. This can be caused by several things including medications and can also follow a heart attack if too much of the heart muscle dies.
4. How to do the moonwalk?: Jackson's signature step surged 56,873% on Thursday. Reminded of Jackson's heyday, people looked up tips on how to perform the move. An article from WikiHow gives would-be Jackos a step-by-step set of instructions, but you may find viewing a video from the master much more informative (if a bit intimidating).
5. Order of Michael Jackson's albums: There was also an instant surge of lookups for MJ's discography. All told, he released 10 albums. They were, in order: Got to Be There; Ben; Music and Me; Forever, Michael; Off the Wall; Thriller; Bad; Dangerous; HIStory; and Invincible. Jackson's biggest seller was, of course, Thriller.
6. What is vitiligo?: Though many believed that Jackson bleached his skin, the star actually suffered from vitiligo, a skin disorder that leads to de-pigmentation. You can learn more about the effect it had on Jackson and his revealing 1993 interview with Oprah from this article from CNN.
Sorry but that's not proof. The items seized from his house to pay his debts that included tubes of skin bleach, thats more reliable proof. Also, don't forget the surgery on his face to make his nose more white.
I am not a hater, but Michael Jackson did a lot to keep his innocent status, including bribery. Innocent people would go to court to clear their name, not pay off the accuser.
I do not care how good his music is, a man must be judged on his character, his spirit, his integrity, not his ability to shift albums.
For that reason alone, I think the world became a little safer this past week.

~Michael Jackson fan
but i heard that he accepted Jesus about three weeks ago
so i praise God he is with him now how awesome
Since that is what the negative stuff is mostly about.
A TEAM of $$$ Prosecuting Attorney's, the D.A.'s office, every lynch mob person, pursued to try to nail him for child molestation. NOTHING was proven!!! This would have been bigger then ten OJ's trials!!! HAD they had proof!! The D.A's office would NOT have dropped the charges!!! IT was EXTORTION at it's finest!! THOUSANDS of kids went to his ranch, TWO, who's PARENTS allowed them to sleep over, one his sister was with them, for over a YEAR??? and "all of a sudden", when the parent's needed MONEY, poof, allegations!!
If it were MY kid, I would not have settled out of court, I would have hung him! It was a MEDIA GOLDMINE!!! You think they all would have "just let it go"??? His bedroom was bigger then my entire house, stupid him having them over, yes, but the parents let them, it was a giant playground for a guy who never had a childhood of his own!!!! I don't buy any of it, no matter if the kids spent the night or not!! And I'm a mother and a grandmother of 6. I don't buy any of it for a second!!
He was a Musical Genius!!!! His Fame killed him. Was he odd? Yes, but look at what Publicity cost him his whole life....we all would be friggen weird if we had his level of FAME...No star in Hollywood at present could even remotely touch that level, no one!! Look what happened to Princess Diana!!! THAT is what FAME and the MEDIA can do for you!! Till we're in their shoes, NO ONE has the right to degrade him like they are, someone they don't even KNOW!!!!!!
And Thank you for the music.
