Michael Jackson Is Dead

Those words just don't add up. Those four words just doesn't make any sense, does it?

Michael Jackson Is Dead

My mind can't seem to comprehend those words, and like MILLIONS out there I am not the only one.

It's been a while since I have written a blog, a number of reasons really, and no reason to discuss in this blog as this is my tribute to the King Of Pop!

So what can I say about MJ, that hasn't already been said by millions of fans across the world.

We are uniting against the haters, and those that just don't get it.

When I was 3 years old, maybe younger, I have my first memory of MJ!

It was the Thriller video, my Nan used to be obsessed, she has it on Beetamax! She showed me it once, and I was so frightened I hid behind the sofa, then went to bed, I used to sleep in the little room, and above the little room was a painting of a werewolf which obviously had its connection with Thriller. Then everytime I would stay at my grandparents and I got cheeky and didn't want to go to bed my Nan would just simply say "I'll put Thriller on" and that was it, I would run up the stairs as fast as my little legs would allow me too! My Nan was mean! Bless her.

At that stage of my life and for a number of years afterwards I used to be scared of Michael, petrified. I used to have two recurring nightmares with MJ in them.

First:

I was strapped to a table in a dark room, and the table was spinning, and Michael Jackson would be standing to the side of me laughing his head off. I close my eyes now and I can see it as if it was happening now. Very odd.

Second:

Again another short nightmare, and this involved being chased by Michael whilst he had a knife in his hand, I would be running continuously down the side of a canal and he would just follow, he never did catch me though.

I remember one time I had one of these nightmares and I ran down stairs when my Mum was having a party and her and her friends comforted me.

Then as I got a bit more older I learnt and found a new appreciation for MJ, Moonwalker was one of my favourite films, I used to watch it every weekend!!

I distinctly remember Bubbles from his Leave Me Alone video I believe it was. Michael Jackson had found a place in my heart without putting the fear of nightmares in me!

I remember the first allegation of Child Abuse and not really knowing what it was or anything but I knew it wasn't good.

1995 I got my very first CD player from my Mum for my Birthday/Christmas present, and I remember I got a CD with it and it was the MJ "HIStory" album, and played it to death! Every track is amazing. Earth Song No1 for 7 weeks in 1995 and at Christmas. In February 1996 he performed at The Brit Awards, how incredible, I have never forgiven Jarvis COCKer for what he did though.

In all MJ has played a massive part of my growing up, even if it is a little odd!

His music is inspirational, and there is not one person on this planet that hasn't had some effect from one of his singles if not more, I know I have.

You can love Rock music, Classical etc...you will still have a MJ song that you loved! I don't believe there is another artist on this planet that can match that!

Even Queen of Pop Madonna doesn't even come close to the power of musical genius that is Michael Jackson.

I will miss MJ massively, I can't really celebrate his life, it's all too weird and all too soon to be able to celebrate. I have listened to nothing but MJ since late Thursday night (not even Britney!), and I will continue to do so for sometime.

I will finish by saying that no matter what you thought of Michael, you cannot deny is true talent. He really is the last of our generation, there will not be and never be another figure like him on this planet to have such an influence in popular music and in people, and the things he has done for people on this planet, he wasn't sucked into the world of ego.

He had passion, commitment, good nature, ambition, and he really did want to change the world!

Michael Jackson I will never forget you. I cannot accept that you're gone.

Rest In Peace - They can't hurt you now!
