I feel like I have to get this off my chest and out there. I have been spectulating rather or not to post this or not. I know there was hardly any
discussion about him and his death. And no offense to anyone here or to Michael Jackson himself.
I was never a Michael Jackson fan, and Black And White, and You Are Not Alone were my two favorite songs.
For the past nine days, since Michael's death, I have been going through mixed emotions. When I first learned he had died, I was like, (I'm trying to
put this into words cause I dont want to offend anyone) "You know so what? They'll talk about it for a couple of days and thats it." I got up the
next day to go to work and I heard it on the news and I couldn't believe it. I was in shock. I never liked him and, no offense to anyone or Michael
himself, but I thought he was a freak.
I had started youtubing his songs and his interviews right after his death. I had come to realize that no matter what controversy or scandal happened in his
life, he was misunderstood. Alot of times he was considered a freak, or weird, but I think he was misunderstood.
He was also a little hot in the 90s, especially when he married Lisa Marie.
It took his death to get me open my eyes and see that he was a great performer. Why didn't I see it sooner, like when I was a child or a teen. It amazes
me, looking at videos, that he kept your attention during concerts. Like there was never a dull moment. The way he danced captured you and held you in. I'm
shocked that he never actually had to have a knee replacement or something.
He was one of the greatest artist of any time in my opinion, and I'm now a fan.
To me, Michael Jackson was an Elvis Presley for my generation.
