to you

Michael Jackson.
One of the many short lived legends.
and one of my personal heroes.
like cliff and elvis. we all miss him.
though i never revealed my love for him.
i always kept a special place for the King.
his life was ended yesterday.
a legend which fell and was about to rise.
like many faced hardship because of the media.
i personally blame the media for all your hardships.
because of the gossips and speculation of his scandals and his downfall.

i remember. growing up. my mum buying a Michael Jackson tape.
i was young and understood nothing of music and my english was not advanced enough to pick up lyrical meanings and words
but when my mum popped in his tape. and the first tune i can still remember that came out was Thriller. and my young mind processed the sound into my brain and for the first time. i was bobbing my head. to music. it may sound a little over exaggerated or dramatic. but his music was the first artist which made me dive into music. to explore it and finally get involved in it.
i will never forget the feeling of the first time i heard thriller. how much i loved it. looking at his pictures. amazed on how much talent is found in him. then when grew older discovered youtube. and searched his videos how mesmerized i was when i saw his dance moves. never knowing the human body could do such acts. he is loved by many. maybe hated by some. but no one can deny that he IS a true legend of music and the true meaning of talent and passion in music. he made pop music good. he is the golden age of pop. unlike how mainstream music and artists like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga has raped the great genre which Michael Jackson took and turned into gold. Keeping ass shit music of the 21st century aside, Michael Jackson will always be remembered in our hearts. no matter 2 years have passed, 4 or 6 years. he will still be remembered. his songs played on radio, his videos being played over and over again in television. his songs being repeated everywhere around the world in everyone's computers, ipods etc. Michael Jackson. you are a true legend and a true musician which only comes once in a lifetime. no one can ever pull off the greatness of your musical career. only you could. for you are not only the King of Pop but the King of Music

Rest in peace Michael Joseph Jackson.
your legacy will live on and on. <3
only people that could see happiness in this is the record company
get ready for multiple releases of his albums, shirts, collector edition etc. the record company will milk this tragedy dry of its commercial worth
