let me first begin by saying how much my heart is broken. I was raised on the music that was Michael Jackson. He has had a profound influence on my life along with Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and so many other great artists in music. I along with many other devoted fans have always aspired to be like him and blasted his music in my house and danced around like i knew what I was doing lol but his music seems to have a strange power over people, from young children to grown adults.
His energy on stage was almost divine and so magnetic, it pulled you in with the every dance step he took and he looked as if he was glowing. I first came to know of him when I was 4 years old, watching the smooth criminal movie and from that moment on I was hooked! He has made some of the most entertaining music and music movies and has greatly influnced many young artists over the years and his music is the most saught after for sampling.
I have so much respect for this man and love him with all my heart as many do. I first found about his passing when i was at my friend Champagnes house and when she told me, my heart dropped and i was in shock. Reports were swirling around that he was dead but i refused to believe it until she confirmed it online from TMZ news. Then I began to cry and shake. Even now typing this i am still in shock and can't believe it. But to me he will always live on Forever...
