Michael Jackson

He was the greatest musical genius of the previous century perhaps ... although that statement is useless... there is no comparison in music...

I like many of his songs ... but he changed the music and entertainment industry forever. Also, what people don't appreciate is the fact that he opened the door for Black America to take center stage... It was first Michael Jackson ... then cam Oprah Winfrey ... Tiger Woods ... Barrack Obama.

Lets not talk of stats. He will blow any other artist away. Thriller is the most successful album ever.

What is more astonishing is his musical intellect. He wrote and sung songs since his the age of 11 (Jackson 5) . I don't like calling Jackson the "King of Pop" ... because .. his music shattered any boundaries of genre. He was not contained to pop. Or perhaps what Michael played was eventually called Pop. Thriller blew the world away ... thr title track, Beat it, Billie Jean ... awesome songs ...and they have been covered by so many artists in so many versions over the past 30 years. Then Bad, History .. i liked them a lot.

My personal favourite song is " You're not alone" ... it is rather mellow for a Jackson song ... but its great. Also you can listen to "Dirty Diana" ... when you feel like the woeld is your enemy ...

Jackson had an abused childhood. Thus he loved kids. He was NOT a paedophile. I don't believe that shit. Some attention hungry freaks made so much garbage out of it.

Michael was eccentric. He was a kid. I sort of can see it in him . His "friendship" with the chimpanzee 'Bubbles'. His numerous face operations. (By the way, he was turning white becuase he had a disease called vitiligo). But he was good man. And a genius too.

Michael Jackson is a legend and his music will rock for a long long time.

he once said,

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

well... he might be just a little dissapointed....

By the way ... he was the most amazing dancer i've ever seen ...

Rest In Peace MJ
