The Forever King of Pop

I like Michael Jackson, I think he's a legend of music industry. Despite of all the news he had with the kids (yucks!), I like him. Though I'm not his die hard fans, to be honest, I don't really believe in the news. Or to say, I do not know what to believe. Sounds stupid, I know.

Thanks to MJ, we have all the wonderful MTVs to watch along our favourite songs. He's the first singer who started the idea of MTV. And I think, there wasn't any MTV that could beat his. His MTVs are the best to me, always! Thriller(I thought this one was scary when I was young, I mean very very very young), Bad, Billie Jean, Beat It, etc.... None of the MTV I watch nowadays seem to be as meaningful as his, really. Look at those stupid MTVs which show the singers walk around at the street, you know what I mean. I used to have video tapes of his MTV that my cousin, Keat recorded for me.

Despite of the MTVs he made, listen to the songs he wrote. The meaningful lyrics from "Heal the World", "They don't really care about us", "Earth Songs" (the one I played as the background music), I just couldn't help to not believe in the news because of all the lyrics he had written. I know it sounds stupid...

His life, is a tragedy. Not just him, Jackson 5. Being a singer since he was a kid, grew up in the "cacat" family, I believe that's the reason for him being weird. Numerous times of plastic surgeries, "cacat" marriages, weird ways to bring up his child, weird behaviours caught by the paparazzi etc. I hate to believe the fact that all these are true. He's mentally unhealthy because of the childhood he went through. I think.

How could I forget to mention his "moon walk"? It's the best!!! Not just the "moon walk", do you remember seeing MJ performing dance with his body 45deg slanted? How can someone do this? It doesn't obey the law of physics!! What did he do to his body?

I still love his songs though he hasn't been singing for such a long time. I hope he would come to Malaysia or Singapore to hold a concert again, because I really want to watch him live. And I still remember the drawing of his potrait that my cousin, Keat drew for me. I used to paste it on the cover of one of the notebook.

No matter what have the media said of him, to me, MJ is the King of Pop, a legend! Forever...

PS My whole family listen to MJ's songs. Believe it or not, my grandfather used to like him too!
