In this time alot of people will feel the shock, disbelief, and hurt of loosing Michael Jackson... the grace, the ambition, the icon. I really am not one for really famous people, and althought I never knew Michael Personally, this man was very much apart of my life. MJ's music was my whole childhood, he was my older siblings childhood, and parents young adulthood... this man made music his whole life; and his contribution to the music industry is undeniable! of course with all things, you will have a lot of naysayers, and people referring to his molestation case, and what not, but the truth is those people will never know what it was like to be MJ...
there's something about people flocking to mystery, the magic, the wonder of the story... people are intriguied with what they cant touch or see, and often times they use that as a catalyst to ridicule and insult. NO ONE CAN EVER say, they know for one day in their lives what it was like to be MJ, no one else in the world was a diamond platinum artist, sold out concerts all over the world, or lived a life of infinite void... no one will know what it was like to be the "lonely man in the spotlight."
I always loved MJ, and i remember watching the jackson 5 movie thousands of times, from start to finish everytime... and theres always apart of me that wonders what it would be like to everyday wake up and be drilled to perform,dont eat, dont sleep, just get it right... its such a catch 22, its almost if mj didnt suffer the abuse and ridicule from his father, would he have been the icon he was today? at the same time, his life was literally a sacrifice... which makes his death so heartbreaking. A person who (at least died peacefully) never got to catch a break, who was always in the limelight, who never had true friends, and the world loved and hated in the same breath.... imagine being Prom King 100x over?
Im not here to talk about MJ's death, Im here to celebrate his life, his craft, his passion. This man gave it his ALL in everything he did, he defied music barriers, and accomplished more than anyone in the industry (not even the beetles were MJ level)He can finally get his peace, his alone time, his diginity...
i hope that his life inpires us to push for our dreams, and be great at what we are meant to do, and always stay humble and greatful... dont treat people bad for your own personal gain... when we loose them, we loose them forever.
Rest in PARADISE MJ!
love
Karyn J
