Rest In Piece Michael Jackson

Hearing about Michael Jacksons death was of course a shocker. I didn't know what to think at first, I actually became rather emotional inside. For me, Michael Jackson is such an amazing artist, no one will ever be able to compare to him. His music was the most influential, incredibly written music ever. Its hard to put into words how his music truly impacted my life. I remember listening to him ever since I was little, my dad would tease me because Thriller would scare the shit out of me. But his music was so inspirational, and played a part in giving me such an open mind. Songs like Black and White, Earth Song, Man in the Mirror, Heal the World, They Don't Care About Us, and many others, all were so real and true, he sang it perfectly where you could feel his passion in the lyrics he was singing. And if it wasn't lyrics it was just the song, Remember the Time, Jam, Keep it in the Closet, Scream, and SO many others are just incredible beats and just pretty much perfectly put together and preformed. But his music is so captivating he just grabs you w/ his lyrics and just the flow and beat of his music, just made you want to dance. And oh MAN could he dance. He was so crisp and clean, and perfect w/ his moves, he just never missed a beat. Remember the Time's dance sequel is one of my favorites, along w/ Smooth Criminal, Bad, and countless others [Of course Thrillers choreo was AMAZING] He seriously changed music and dance forever. Its hard to put into words the amount of talent this man really truly had.

No one seems to notice that anymore, all they decided to talk about was the negative things about him, and the shit he was accused of. I would think since he died people would ignore that and possibly giving him the credit he deserves considering he's probably been a musical influence in some of the artists they listen to. Without Michael Jackson we wouldn't have a lot of the artists we do today, only few are true artists, a lot of the shit coming out now is retarded, but thats another post lol.

I thought that the MJ tribute at the 09 VMA's almost made me want to cry, I thought it was awesome for Janet to come out and kind of have her last performance with her brother. The dancing was incredible, it was so well put together I was pretty much speechless and yes Kanye is a douche for what he did to Taylor, he also took away the fact that that night was suppose to celebrated in Michaels memory and Kanye, in my opinion, really disrespected that, and Taylor. But anyway, please feel free to comment about Michaels music and dance and how it has impacted your life. And please, remember him for all his great things, like revolutionizing music and dance forever. And enjoy the videos =]

Thank you
