4 days have gone since the world has lost it's King of Pop. Mixed reactions from every one. Most 70's and 80's babies would be shocked more than others as most of our childhood - MJ was there. I remember watching the Thriller video and its making over and over again, same goes with Billy Jean . My sisters and I even tried to imitate his moves. Those days where technology was not consumed by DVDs, HDs, excessive special effects of audio and visual, MJ stood out and way ahead of the league from any other artists.
Fans (as in fanatics) may be the cause of his inability to live a perfectly normal live but if there wasn't a medium (Photographers and Reporters) , his fans would not be able to do anything about it. Fans were fed non stop of his movements and progress , not only the good stuff but the bad stuff as well.
MJ's so call friends are all coming out of the woodwork but where were these people when MJ was in his darkest hour? Where were these 'friends' when he most needed them? Now everyone is making statements, claiming that they were all 'close friends'.
Some of you who aren't fans of MJ, might not see what the fuss is all about. But you must agree that MJ played a big influence in the world's music industry. There is no one like him. Like there is no one like Elvis or Fred A. His demise is trully shocking, as I was growing up I always thought that all my idols would LIVE forever. Yes it was a fantasy and that brings me to MJ's Neverland. If YOU and I can have fantasies (Whatever it may be) why not MJ when he came up with Neverland?
I am disgusted that some people would find his death a perfect time to send inappropriate jokes through emails and texts. Even worse they still continue to speak ill of the death, why are HUMANS so forgetful? His positive contributions to the music industry, peoples' lives and thinking are more substantial. When he was famous , all his 'friends' wanted a piece of his glory.
Yes being famous does pay , its has lows and highs. We were all there for both, many of us just by listening the main headlines of our local TV.
MJ may be eccentric and no one may ever know what really happened throughout his life and death , but at the very least can't we let MJ rest in peace?
