RIP, Michael..


Where do i even begin.. What do i even say..

This man was my childhood, my idol.. The first album i knew of was his. I first danced to his music when i was only 4. Jumping around to Jam. I spent the first few years of my life learning how to do the moonwalk. I spent hours in front of the TV watching his movie Moonwalker over and over again copying his moves. I stood by him (not literally) when people turned against him calling him a child molester, or Wacko Jacko or whatever. I always believed he was innocent. I even had a scrapbook filled with pictures of him and any article i came across that was about him. Even till today i spend hours watching his videos, amazed at his talent. There will never be anyone else that would come close to comparison. He Was the King of Pop. And always will be. The music industry perhaps would not be the same today if it weren't for him. Artists such as Justin Timberlake or Wade Robson.. they all took moves from him. His influence is well noticable among them. In certain ways, i am happy that he's passed on, for it is my believe that he was no longer happy. He was terminally ill for so long, and having put up with the crap media throws at him, it's just not right. What more upon losing everything he has, and selling off his belongings.. He had a concert coming up in London. Perhaps he pushed himself too hard.


I cried when i saw the news online. I was devastated. I still am. I read news almost every other day about celebrities dying. And even when i was little i would wonder how the impact would be if MJ died. I prayed the day would never come. That day that my first idol would stop being among us. One of my dreams was to at least be at one of his concerts. In most of his movies they would show fans at his concerts, fainting, crying, screaming out for him and i would always think, damn.. they're so lucky. Now, i'll never get the chance.


The world is at a loss without you. He was a legend. He was true talent. He was.. Michael Jackson.. There will never be another..

Thank you for sharing your gift with the world..

You will live forever in us..

I love you, Michael.
