Today Michael Jackson the “King of Pop” un-expectantly passed away of a heart failure. While this is a sad day for many, it is also a day to celebrate his death by remembering the glory of his musical talent. Michael lived a long road full of musical history, legal battles and financial problems, but no matter what we will always remember Michael for his musical talents.
Michael had been preparing for a series of comeback performances in London, England. It was announced that he had been working long hard hours as he was preparing to give his fans the best musical entertainment in history. Many people talk stink about Michael and his legal troubles, but when the tickets for his upcoming concerts went on sale they were sold out in minutes. Why…because he brought something to us…the uniting of black and white music.
Michael will now be a legend pop star to me and many others from the Jackson Five era, to the hits of the 80’s, 90’s and millennium. When we were growing up we listen to Michael in awe of his music and dance moves. Some guy friends of mine walked around with white gloves as children imitating Michael’s moves. He was an idol to many of us and I will never forget the wonderful music he brought into my life.
As I watch the news and listen to people around me talk about Michael and his passing it amazes me how many people loved Michael. People were crying on the radio station as the shared their memories of Michael. The news showed people all around the world lighting candles, posting pictures and flowers near as they mourned the loss of Michael. While certain people talk of the scandals Michael was accused of there are so many more who loved him for his true talents.
Some people are questioning his death and was it fake. They feel that maybe Michael got tired of all the negative talks of him and financial problems and decided to fake his death. I do not really believe that…I feel if he was going to do something like that he would have at least waited until after his 50 upcoming concert events that were sold out. Who knows really?
This is the first person of fame in my lifetime I have lost. I have never lost someone that has been there through my upbringing as a child and continued into my adult years. I compare this to what my parents went through with Elvis. He was an Icon “The King”.
“Thank you MJ for sharing all your talents with people all around the world and thank you for your love for music as it showed deeply.” Love and Peace
