A few days ago we witnessed the death of an entertainer, a singer, a dancer and a legend. Michael Jackson. Let's face it, you can name any MJ song and its probably a good one. I think it's sad how people appreciate someone after they are gone. Or how people become more sensitive and aware of their actions for a few weeks after a tragic event and then the cycle repeats.
As you know Michael was always pushed as a child star, to achieve greatness was his goal. Never got to live like us I suppose. You kno, Have fun doing relaxing things, being a kid what not. Being surrounded by controversy is something any of us could only handle for limited amounts of time. This guy had to live it.
From the skin color change, which was a choice after being diagnosed with a disease known as vitiligo, to neverland ranch to the baby over the balcony: the media and all those ill of self-thought battered and abused this star. Seeming to forget what he had actually brought to us with his hard work. A life a of music, Rhythm, dance moves, style and the fight for peace. For what ever wrong he did or may have been accused of, perhaps the media created their own monster and they are to blame. But he will not be remember for that, no not at all.
You see.. Everyone who dances, or wants to dance.. Wants to dance like Michael. Not like Usher, Omarion, or Chris Brown because they too just wanted to dance like Michael.

and you know everyone has tried the moonwalk, the lean, the leg kick, grab and high pitched "ooo".
and you must understand that every music video can only wish that they could be like thriller, beat it, black or white, or smooth criminal.
Any fan of music has to appreciate MJ cuz with out him there wouldn't be much music, there wouldn't be hits that last forever, just good songs that fade away like we have today. When I was in 8th grade my friend and I dressed up as MJ for Halloween and danced in our humanities room. Probably they coolest Halloween I've had.
The Greatest
Out of all the dance moves I can do, I still can't moonwalk like MJ. But I still try.
My friend Jesus Shuttlesworth used to tell me.
....... "If nobody's hatin on you, then you're not doin your job"
With success follows the people who want to bring us down. That's the price of fame.
Even though MJ died, He's going to be remembered for his music and the entertainment and peace he brought to the world. The true power of music, bringing people together, is what Michael accomplished. At least now he won't feel the pain that whirl pooled into more treacherous life events.
Rest In Peace MJ
Always with smile
