Well~ I'm glad now you have one more person to tell this too! Haha, I appreciate Michael Jackson, but a lot of people don't so I'm not vocal about it (usually I'm not vocal about much things like that lol)... But people are stupid and if they can they will do anything in their power to start a story and keep their job, even if the story is wrong, even if it breaks the person they're writing about, because so many people want to know what these musicians and actors are like, but its always gossip and it always put them in bad light, even if they come out and confess its not the truth (-__-") people don't see him as a musician anymore, I think.. I think they've become too obsessed in his supposed "personal" life that they've forgotten what he's done to HELP! Of course, people are evil bastards, and don't look beyond the front page of the newsstands! I don't feel bad for all those people that have said terrible things about him, because they're not missing a wonderful person, and they'll see how much their life is affected... he was influential, one of the most, and it's sad to see such inspiration disappear.. (actually he was the first musician, next to the beatles, that got me interested in music, besides just listening to it, I wanted to learn it lol) It's.. really becoming an empty place now..
Yeah, me too because I just had my family to lean on we all love him and his music and believed in him so we were all heart broken to hear he had died, even my dad which was surprising he even went out and bought this special Historical magazine with Michael Jackson on the cover (o^^o) Yeah, I agree. It's like Michael Jackson once said "Money is the root of all evil." The things people will do just to get paid (-___-) I think people weren't seeing him as a musician anymore too. When they talked about him it was about his face, skin, and other stuff which was nothing compared to all the good stuff he's done in his life like music, dance, and helping people all over the world. I mean even now all they talk about is his plastic surgery and the supposed prescription drugs he was taking! That's not even close to what Michael Jackson was all about and it makes me angry that they are doing that. I hope those people someday regret it. For me he was the one who made me fall in love with music and when I saw him dance, it was magic. I had never and never will see anyone dance and sing like him. He put so much of his soul into what he did. No one will ever come close in my opinion. He was truly incredible and magical. I remember wanting to dance like him I even had shoes I called my Michael Jackson shoes cause they looked like the ones he wore lol I don't think people realize what this world has just lost. Not only have we lost a huge part of music and dance but one of the only persons that could bring people together and inspire us to help those that are less fortunate. In my opinion, this world is heading toward a real awful place.
It's horrible that is all people have to talk about is what he was on, if he was on prescriptions, why does THAT matter? A human being, a great person died, and the press and all the people who read those magazines, have nothing better to do than to keep up his hype and keeping talking about all the negative things about him! What's wrong with that? I really think the world has not quite felt the fact his presence is gone, and it was an influential and powerful presence, and they'll see that soon, and they'll feel terrible for saying things! I mean, if I don't agree with what he does with his face, that's my opinion and it's his face, but to keep going on about it, even after he's died, why? What's the point, that shouldn't matter NOW,..but apparently it does. And even now, I know people are trying to start more stories about him! Why can't they just, accept he wanted to change, and let it alone?! (>o<) I don't understand people sometimes when they start shit like that! He was the first person, like I said before, that got me into music (*-*) and I still thought he was a great person, no matter his differences from me.. if we were all the same, shit we'd all be boring, and he was anything but boring (-__-") and you couldn't have said it better.. people like him only come around once, and the world threw nothing but pressure, rumors, lies and hatred too, at him.. I do agree the world is heading for a shit hole! (T^T) why do I have to be stuck in this era?!.. an era of greed and money and evil...I don't think people believe in things like he did, that music can unite, or that the feelings behind them are generally universal.... I really don't think that people see music that way, any more, and I don't really think most musicians see music like that either.. granted a few do, but... the music world just lost one of its cornerstones...
I know. All the media does is talk about the negative parts and about things that don't even matter anymore which just doesn't make sense to me because the good obviously out weighed the bad when it came to Michael Jackson. But today I actually saw a very sweet news special for Michael Jackson on one of the Spanish channels which made me smile because they had nothing but beautiful things to say about Michael and one of the hosts even got a little choked up when she was talking about what an amazing person and father Michael really was, it brought tears to my eyes. I can't say I liked what he did to his nose but to me his inner beauty always out shined his outer beauty. So to me he was always beautiful. And I know there had to be some kind of a hurt deep down inside of him that caused him to want to change what he saw in the mirror so I will never criticize him for that because I do understand that he was also human and he hurt just like everyone else. It was because he was different from everyone else that people ridiculed him. I mean, it just like high school, if you dress different, talk different, or look different people pick on you, make fun of you and spread lies about you. The sad thing is Michael was stuck in this "high school" until his death and even after death they won't leave him alone. It's horrible. Yeah, we had a person with a talent that was as close to perfection that this world will ever see and he was actually not selfish and very generous with a heart of gold and this is what they do to him. It's hard to believe in this world, it's hard to believe that this world could ever change into a better world when this is what they do to one of the greatest humanitarians and human beings we've seen. I agree with you, artist don't do what he did. They don't try to unite people with their music, they don't donate all of the proceeds they make off of songs to charities around the world and it's sad because they always say how much Michael inspired them but yet they don't follow his most important example/message. Alot of artist now don't put their heart and soul into their music anymore that's why no one can touch Michael's music. The music world will never be the same without him. I was excited about him coming back you know. I was like FINALLY there will be real music coming from America again but now....he's left us. Which I still can't believe because when I listen to his music I feel like he's there, like he's still alive. I know I'll be crying tomorrow as we all say our final goodbye. (;__;) I only wish I had a chance to hug him once because he seemed to give the best hugs <3
Apparently, my mom said they just had a grand funeral precession for him, and she said it was quite wonderful, but I bet by tomorrow, something else will be on newspaper covers and magazines too, speaking about some horrible thing he's done "wrong" in his past! Why can't they just idolize him, believe him in just for a tiny bit and then let it go and go on without destroying his name, when he's not around to defend himself! That's cowardly to me, to speak of someone in bad light, after they've died,.. they can't defend themselves, they can't even voice an opinion because they have no one to do so! It's a horrible thing.. I was actually talking to one of my coworkers on facebook earlier today, and he changed his status to something rude like "I'm sick of seeing all the Michael Jackson crap, let's not forget that he was sick, and let's just move on and let him burn already" and I yelled at him, blocked him and sent him so many hate messages via text and on facebook.. I'm not sure if we're friends any more! I was so offended he'd say that, I didn't expect it from him, and someone else called him out on it too.. I was hurt he'd say that but, good thing I haven't seen them in a long time!! But I really agree with you about the High School thing! (I mean I personally disagree with his nose and all, but I respect his own decision, he's human, he feels he has flaws, just like all of us that aren't in the Big Industries like music or acting.. so we don't know what stardom tastes like, but that doesn't mean those in those positions don't hurt just like other people, after all, they're still people!) But I totally agree that people should just put aside their opinions and respect that someone of greatness just left us, and at least, feel compassion towards him, if not for his musical genius, but because a human being died! I just don't understand WHY people have such harsh things to say, after someone no longer has the voice to speak on it..I was really waiting to hear something good from him when he was returning! I was like MUSIC I CAN LISTEN TO.. IN ENGLISH AND MY DAD CAN'T MAKE FUN OF ME! (speaking of making fun, lol, at least he's joking!) he does seem like he'd be one of the best huggers! (T^T) I remember an old friend of mine and myself were always picked on in elementary school cause we liked Michael Jackson and I was like "HE'S BAD ASS!" and they got all huffy I said a curse word in 6th grade! But his music was inspirational, and like, now I actually have to search for music that gets me in a mood now, just any sort of feeling, I mean I can talk about alice nine being all fantastical (lol), but there was a vibe from certain artists that really stand out, that you can just feel what they're feeling right when they're feeling it and you can just click.. he was one of them. It's a sad day today... a genius is gone, and people are not acknowledging that a person just died (whoever it was) they should be sad someone died, and not be inconsiderate, non-compassionate bastards!! Someone with talent is gone, and now the world will suffer for it, and for all those that cared, are wounded that such a great person was lost and is being ridiculed! What good is it doing, he's dead, he can't retort, say a word, and still.. it's upsetting!! (>o<) what the hell! A wonderful and talent guy is gone, and world seems a little more hollow (-__-")
If you're talking about the memorial on tuesday that was broadcast live then that's why I said I was going to be crying cause I was going to watch it hehe It was very beautiful but also extremely sad especially when they brought his casket in (;__;) I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. And when one of his brothers and his daughter spoke at the end, it just broke my soul and suddenly made it so real...he's really gone. (;____;) I laughed, smile but mostly cried throughout the whole thing. Yeah, people are still saying negative stuff about him. That night of his memorial I was flipping through the channels and there was something that said "Remembering the icon Michael Jackson and his legacy" so I thought it was going to be a nice tribute type of show so I put it and what were they talking about "Was Michael Jackson really just a sweet, innocent child-like man or was he really a very dangerous man who never got caught?" I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!! His fans, family, friends, and children are mourning his sudden tragic death and they still talking about whether he was a pedophile or not!!! That made me so angry I felt like throwing the TV out the window. I just can't take anymore negative stuff, I'm trying to avoid all this media negativity. I hate it. It breaks my heart. I'm glad you blocked him, I would've done the same. I don't understand how people can be so cold-hearted. Michael Jackson wasn't just a celebrity, he was someone's very loving father, friend, brother and son. He loved his children very dearly, they were his life and to them he was their world. Do they not think about how what they say about their dad might affect them!? How it might hurt them!? People are just so heartless. I liked what Rev. Al Sharpton said to Michael's kids near the end of his speech at his memorial, he said "There was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what he had to deal with!" I thought that was very true. Michael Jackson was probably one of the only celebrities that I know of that actually stop to take pics, sign autographs, shake hands and actually give hugs to his fans in the streets! And he was the most famous of them all yet he was still very true to his fans. I loved that about him. And your right, since he died this world seems different, like there is something missing. Maybe that's why the weather had been so cold lately. (.__.)
Oh and sorry for responding so late, it's just that I knew I was going to start crying again if I started to write. I wanted to giving my eyes a break don't want them to swell up again. This is still very fresh to me. I don't know if I'll ever be ok with his death because what really makes me cry is that in the last few years of his life people treated him like crap and made fun of him all the time and I just think it was so unfair. He didn't deserve it and I know it tore him apart on the inside. I can't even imagine all the pain and loneliness he must've felt (.___.) It truly hurts me to think about.
(And don't worry about the late reply! It's understandable, I'm not sitting over here like.. "SHE DIDN'T RESPOND?!WHHHAAAAAT?!" lol) No, it's totally uncalled for, honestly to KEEP MAKING FUN or insinuating false accusations to someone who was obviously loved very deeply... if he was all those bad things, why would his family, his close friends be so devestated, heart-broken and at a loss of words because of it?! Oh yeah, cause he's innocent! I really agree with you.. I mean, how can they KEEP talking about it? Didn't they get enough fame off of him before, why bring it up now, just because he's passed away? WTF is wrong with that?! It's horrible to talk about someone like that in general, but to do it when they no longer have a voice?! It's like kicking a defenseless animal with no way to defend itself (duh, why its defenseless) but I just don't understand that...everyone one in his family, is upset and the media can't even back away from just a day? To allow those who WANT TO mourn and pray for him, just a moment's rest? I don't understand that.. I really don't understand why people do that, why they put so much pressure on people, without knowing how they are feeling, or if they are really being beaten up inside.. Of course I blocked him, it was super f*cked up to say it in the first place, but I was like "Look don't talk like that" and I asked politely, no of course he had to keep going.. It's heartbreaking to see the world can say their hurt and turn around and spread gossip and rumors because it will sell! It's just really disappointing to see it continuing on, I mean I'd have thought that maybe they would drop it and we could just all be there for his family, and all share one this--which was his love for music and dancing, and that we could all convey that.. but.. (-__-") I see that is not the case! It's like the world really is just a little more empty without him being here now... just lonely (.__.")
