michael_jackson_king_of_popMichael Jackson passed away last night from a reported heart attack.  Although I am not a fan of pop music in general, and never really have been, Michael Jackson was always on another level.  Arguably one of the most talented artists of the 80s and even 90s, he made music that we will all love and cherish for the rest of our lives.

To address those of you that believe the king of pop is somehow a weirdo or strange, let me just say this: he had no childhood and was raised in a very high pressure adult environment.  He reacted by living out his childhood the only time he was able to: as an adult.  Before you are so quick to judge, look at your own life and imagine if you had been raised like him.

Yes he was a bit eccentric (and extremely creepy at times), but he enlightened an entire generation with his music and dance.  You will never be forgotten Michael.  Here’s a little video tribute:

Michael Jackson is an AMAZING Person , he has a caring heart and will ALWAYS be the best Entertainer. Such a genius and will never be replaced. My Daughter and I attended his 45th B’Day Party and he was so sweet to talk to, he spoke to me about Glasgow, Scvotland, Edinburgh and he really liked it there on his visits.
People that think he is weird or wacko, I think that is sad. Don”t Judge a book by its cover. There are many werd people out in the world. He was loved for being the Greatest Performer and for being such a caring person.
He was done wrong in his short life.
His Childhood was taken away from him and My heart goes out to Michael Jackson.
R.I.P Michael

I feel sorry for Michael Jackson. It was a complete shock to hear he died. He was the last person I expected to die at the age of 50. He was a pop legend and we’ll never forget him, like we haven’t forgot Elvis Presley even though he died 31, almost 32, years ago. He’s someone will never forget and like people say,there’s not another Elvis Presley and there’ll never be another Michael Jackson.
