2nd day after the sudden and shocking departure of the Legendary King of Pop,Michael Jackson.I'm not a hardcore fan of MJ but still ... when someone as influential to the music world like Michael pass away ... you can't help but find that a big part of your music soul,a big part of music has disappeared.
I checked some Japanese celebrities' blogs,namely 島谷ひとみ(Shimatani Hitomi) of Avex and 伊藤 由奈(Yuna Ito) of Sony Entertainment.Even though they aren't in the English pop market,they still gave their condolences.Hitomi said that it was the close of an era whileas Yuna Ito felt that if Michael didn't exist it'll be impossible to imagine the music scene of today.
Even our dear US President Obama offered sympathy while highlighting the complications in Michael's personal life.Ever since Michael became world-famous he can't live the private life that he so wanted.Everything of him was so highly publicised.Michael made billions of ppl happy with his performance but was he able to live his ideal life?
People remember The Cat King Elvis Presley for his music and the impact he had in the industry.Why can't ppl remember Michael the same way?Not about his alleged child molestion case.BUT because of his music,his dance.He put his soul,his heart in every performance he did.That's what made Michael so influential.The positive energy emitting from him.
Michael always loved children.Spending millions as donations to children's charity.Writing the song "Heal The World" which he delicated to every children in the world.
A music sensation unparrelled by anyone today.A performer whom every aspiring music star hopes to emulate.A legend to last in the hearts of ppl for years to come.The man had left us,but he had left behind his masterpiece.Works of art each filled with the passion of the King of Pop.
I hope that Michael can finally seek the happiness and privacy that had so eluded him in the last two decades.
May you rest in peace Michael Jackson.
