Ever since I got the news of Michael Jackson's tour, I was always on the look out for a ticket. It was a dream to see him in action. I am sure it's a dream of everybody who enjoyed 80's music.
But it was a dream which was never lived to be true.
I woke up this morning to the news of his death. The man who lived in a world far far away from me made my heart sink for a while.
Now, I am not a crazy fan of MJ. I don't have his posters on my walls, not even have a single CD of him with me. But we grew up with him as kids in 80's
When we learnt to dance as pumped up teens, we tried to moon walk. Desperately tried to sing his songs imitating his unique voice in vein. Not to mentions the phrases of his songs we quoted to decorate our sweet love letters back then.
As most of the stars overwhelmed by wealth and fame would do, he also went crazy. MJ I saw as a teen, was not there anymore when I became a grown man. Nevertheless his talent and creativity stayed true to his reputation.
He was the greatest entertainer in our time. There may have been better singers and better dancers. But nobody could mix both talents together to entertain us like he did.He was a real genius of what he was doing.No matter what people say and how crazy he is, nobody can take that away from him.
To me he was a great ambassador of our time and a real music legend. When people label him as the King of the Pop I agree with them 100%. Sold 65 millions of copies of Thriller and stayed under the spot light for 45 years, out of his 50 living years ! That is enough to justify that title.
Michael Jackson, This little note is to thank you for what you have done for music and to bid you farewell. May you rest in peace !
Listen to the words of the man who lost his childhood........
