Michael Jackson started singing with the Jackson 5 when he was 5, their first album came out when he was 11.

Michael Jackson, singer, performer, eccentric, and American icon died in his Los Angeles home on Thursday after reportedly suffering from cardiac arrest. He was just 50 years old.  In recent years, many of us had a complicated relationship with Jackson, but none could deny his massive talent or the impact he had on the entertainment community, worldwide. He was a musical visionary, creative in every aspect of his life--including his clothes. His outlandish, unique sequined style has influenced decades of  designers, including many of the retro-'80s fashions we see on runways today. Despite the scandals of recent years, we honestly can't imagine our childhoods without him. Above, a style tribute to the King of Pop.

    I seriously do not understand these people who are so upset by his death...hysterically crying on tv. Freaks. Almost as freaky as the dead guy himself.

    He was talented. He was troubled. He's dead. Next.

    I am in tears just thinking about it. It just puts the spot light on the fact that no matter how much money or fame that you have... death has no prejeduice. May you rest in peace.

    Michael was an amazing person who changed the world. There was no one bigger in the business and Music will never be the same.
