Went out with the best friend and we spent the entire night talking about Michael Jackson. Like I said before, I was never a big fan, until now. After his death and being constantly bombarded in the face with Michael Jackson news, I find myself downloading and listening to all his songs, watching all his music videos and reading news and updates on him.
I actually really really LIKE his music, especially a few of his big-time famous hits, namely, Billy Jean and Beat It and the not so popular ones like Man In The Mirror, Scream (he collaborated with his sister, Janet Jackson) and Earth Song.
It is so sad that only after his death, I’m beginning to appreciate his music. And oh boy, he was such an AMAZING dancer. He perfected the moonwalk (I attempted the moonwalk and failed, haha) and definitely took dance to a complete different level. Gosh, he is just so mighty brilliant when it comes to performing!
I can’t stop listening to his songs and watching his music videos! Above is a video of MJ executing the moonwalk and below is a video of him performing with full confidence at the tender age of ten! (I stole it from Dina’s blog)
I think many people have misunderstood Michael Jackson (thanks to the media). In my opinion, he was a grown man who was a child at heart, having been deprived of a childhood. He was confused and was constantly searching for greater meaning and purpose in life, but I guess he never found it. So sad and tragic. I love MJ. :(
