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 (.__.")
