So today I watched the memorial for Michael Jackson. It has now sunk in that this great and talented artist is gone and we will never see him alive and performing again. I am grateful that he did share his talent with us because whether we like it or not MJ was a pioneer of the fun and funky sounds and scenes of pop music that we see today. His music brings back memories of different times in my life, and even at times inspired me to be a better person. My first MJ album was "Bad" and than later on I was given "Thriller" and than for my 17th birthday I asked my dad and mom for the "History" album. I remember my parents having the Thriller vinyl record and I remember pulling it out and thinking how cool it was. I loved his moves and could only dream of dancing like that. He was a brilliant dancer and perfomer.
From what I saw today Michael was a person with love for and from his friends, fans, and family. It was great to hear words spoken about their beliefs of God and the life after. Though His life was often full of troubled times and sadness, and I don't know if things said about him were true, but I do know that he had passion for what he did. I believe he was genuine in his lyrics about changing who we are and making this world a better place.
I am looking forward to the possible release of some of his never before heard music and all I want to say is; Ma Ma Se,Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo SaMa Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa,Ma Ma Coo Sa!
