A Michael Jackson flashmob will be going down at Yonge & Dundas Square tonight. More details in our events section. Get there at 9pm for a mass moonwalk tribute and see if we can eclipse the crowds at the flashmob in London.

If you go, don't forget to add your photos to the blogTO Flickr pool.

UPDATE: Circle Research just sent us some MJ remixes...

this is all sad and stuff,but is it just me, or are we forgetting that wee pedophilia thingy and horrifying 20/20 interview in the 90's where MJ states that love and cuddling between a man and a boy is cool, sharing the same bed,...uh huh...

It's not that we're "forgetting" about it - MJ's musical achievements are undeniable. As I said before, his musical output with the Jackson 5 ALONE in itself garners him an iconic status. (And I prefer to remember him from that era anyway - pre freakshow and disfiguring plastic surgery.)

Exactly. Micheal Jackson was the lead vocalist in a band whose music, which started 40 years ago, is still rippling through the industry today. There are no bounds to people or the musical genres that The Jackson 5 have influenced. They still carry recording industry firsts that no other artist or group have been able to touch since.
Likewise, the album Thriller both stylistically and musically is equal in its influence and reach. While alive MJ was the undisputed king of pop.

People aren't celebrating/remembering his life as a person, but rather his achievements as an artist.

I think I'll go rock out to Billie Jean now. Love that synth line!

I confirm.... love and cuddling with a child is nice... have you children? you never show them enough love, I suppose... poor children.

Before saying such a big idiocy, read better the interviews and the story about MJ. He has been declared NOT GUILTY.
