Do you know who I am talking about yet???? It is 2 days away from a week since Michael Jackson, and American Legend, had died at his LA home June 25Th 2009. For this event I did not know how to react.... Sad, happy. I was actually confused. I could of never expected it. Up in tell now I had not realized much about Michael Jackson. I know that he was ugly, he was different and had 3 kids. I just never knew his success, only his faults (including the baby over the balcony part. Which I believe was him just trying to show his baby off.) I guess that is what happens.
I never knew the music I knew how to sing along to was the King of pop himself. I only knew his change in skin tone and his supposed affection for young boys. I did not know he INVENTED the moon walk I wanna learn so bad that I could just scream or that he married the King of rock and Roll's daughter.
See the day that MJ died I believe will be like 911. Everyone but, me remembers where they were when it happened. I remember this event. It was the afternoon I believe around 5. The news was on and I heard at my grandmas on the way outside that Michael Jackson was sent to the hospital. I did not know why then my cousin said "Michael Jackson was arrested." I than heard MJ, The King of Pop was Dead. Turned out he was in CARDIAC arrest not being arrested. First I was happy because, he was sooo ugly and I did not care but, than over the next few days, he was all the rage. Every other channel on the TV was about Michael Jackson. I had to of watched at least 6 hours of the man we call The King of POP.
Michael Jackson started off with the Jackson 5 with his 4 brothers as the youngest but, the leader and singer of the group. He had an abusive father but, that did not stop him. He soon became to old for the Jackson 5 and started to sing solo. This is where he got his great hits with his dancing and hi pitched voice. He was loved everywhere. His biggest selling album, Thriller. My personal favorite of Michael's is Beat It. Sometime in between that Michael got 2nd degree burns from his hair catching on fire during a Pepsi commerical. Making the 1st nose surgery a must however the others he says was because, of breathing issues. However others say it is because his nose was too big. After that Michael started to change. What he said at some point was a medical condition causing his skin color to change was really the bleaching of his skin from wanting to be lighter, which went a little too far. I personally liked Jackson the way he was before because, he scares the crap out of me now. Jacko as they called him was soon filed for molesting a cancer victim at Michael home, Neverland ranch and then was said a little after that that he had done it again. After all that happened, Jackson had to close Neverland ranch because of charges or debt of the incident. He was plead not guilty and he was saved from being thrown in jail. Than their were MJ's kids. Prince, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr; Paris Michael Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson 3rd also known as "blanket." All I can say is that Jackson kept his kids hidden when in public with head wear such as masks and ETC because of offensive reasons. I am sorry to say that I can not explain the whole real parent what happened situation for Jackson's kids because, even I got confused.
MJ was only about a week away from his 50day final concert tour before he died. He was 50 years old.
His body will be taken back to Neverland Ranch, his home, and up for viewing for the public on Friday.
Michael Jackson was awesome when he was on stage and in his days and, always will. But, when it came to him being all anyone ever wanted on the streets and off stage Michael was the one everyone hated. He was the greatest dancer that ever lived and had almost the same faint as the previous king of Music Elvis Presley. His Music will be missed and so will his moves that everyone who has not already wants to learn.
He broke the barrier when it came to an African Americans music on MTV and he was loved everywhere for his performances at least once to everyone. Michael Jackson was the king of POP , No doubt about it.
P.S (no I am not going to write this long of a blog for the oxy clean man who died only, what, 3 days ago.)
