You talk: Michael Jackson's death

Emily Heller, Somers, NY

How do you feel about the death of Michael Jackson?
I'm not devastated. I think it's big news, you know? It's more the shock that Michael Jackson is gone. But I love his music. I could listen to some of his songs over and over again. It just confirms that his music will live on. I dunno, I feel like he had a very troubled life, and I don't know about reincarnation, but maybe this is a good thing, maybe he found peace and he'll be reborn into a better life next time.

So, if you think Michael Jackson might be reincarnated, what do you think he would come back as in his next life?
Definitely an animal. A leopard.

What did you do when you heard Michael Jackson had passed away?
Well, I was having a party at my house with old friends and we burned a Michael Jackson CD and it just pumped us all up and it was just a special moment. We were outside, you know, so it was like a tribute, like, 'Michael! Wherever you are! This is for you!'

Was there one song in particular you wanted to listen to?
Everyone wanted to hear "Billy Jean," and "Black or White," and "Man in the Mirror," and "The Way You Make Me Feel."
