Michael Jackson Remembered

Do You Remember the Time that you fell in love with Michael Jackson's Music? Now wait one moment before you answer that question. I can imagine that I was exposed to Lil' Michael while I was still within my mother's womb!  So I guess I've been in love with his music my whole life. Is he my favorite music artist of all time? Yes, but sadly I've just been reminded of that, because of his untimely death. I now realize that I as many of you, I took my admiration of his great talents for granted. It happened when I allowed my perception of him, to be formed by his eccentric behavior, rather than his musical genius and his loving heart. It happened when Michael began to change his physical features and appearance, almost a transformation. What was he trying to change I wondered?  What could make a person who literally had women falling at his feet, feel so insecure? It happened when I allowed the media to tell me who and what Michael was, when Michael through his music was telling me. At  some point we just forgot about the magician who Moon-walked across the stage that night! The only person that could make a macho guy, dance in the mirror with a glove on his hand, and practice spinning around on his toes, while wearing a pink shirt! Make people stand in line for days to get tickets. We forgot about I Wanna Rock Wit U, and how amazing that Thriller video was, girls kissing their boyfriends in the dark, pretending they were Michael. We forgot about Human Nature and how cool he made Penny Loafers look. We forgot about the scream and the crotch pull in the Bad video, and we forgot that cool lean in the Smooth Criminal video. We forgot that everytime he came out with a new album, we couldn't wait to see what he would do next to wow us. Michael even made you memorize the words to all his songs, back when there was an album to read them off of(lol)!  Not many people can make you want to be just like them. Well it seems he made everyone want to be just like him, and that can't be forgotten, it won't be forgotten. Michael has been compared to other artists, such as: Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Madonna, Whitney Houston,but there is no comparison. Musically all these artists brought something to the table, but they were restricted by their music, and it's genre. Michael had the whole package, whether you lived in the far east and ate with chopsticks for dinner, or you lived in a trailer park and drink beers for dinner, Michael was loved. It was truly an international fan base. Yesterday we said goodbye to The Greatest Entertainer we've ever seen, and maybe that anyone will ever see! It was further noticed, by the outpouring of Love and affection on display at his Memorial service. People watched and cried all over the world yesterday to say goodbye to Michael Jackson, and Remember the Time they fell in love with his Music.
