June 26 The day the world celebrates and mourns the extraordinary life and death of MJ, king of pop.The 26th of June 2009. A day which will never be forgotten. The day a true legend, dubbed the king of pop, who has enchanted us for 5 decades with his wonderful, extraordinary music and talent albeit unusual, secluded lifestyle passed on.
I have grown up with MJ's songs playing on the radio almost everyday, images of him everywhere, from fan t-shirts to mugs to drink and food advertisements - he was the most popular entertainter of his generation, and arguably the greatest who has ever lived. He started off as a child prodigy with the Jackson 5, still one of the greatest bands of all time, and matured into the one and only king of pop. He was the best at what he did, a great entertainer with a huge stage presence and charisma.
He was the pioneer of music videos with his record breaking Thriller music video, one of the best music videos i have ever seen. He created the famous moonwalk, the spin, and the very controversial tuck of his genitals.
His numerous number 1 hits like Billie Jean, Black or White, Thriller, You Are Not Alone, Change the World, was, is and always will be part of the the music culture of all generations. If you asked anyone on the street, they would most probably know at least one Michael Jackson hit which have played a certain part in a certain period of their lives.
Though living a controverial lifestyle, and having faced accusation of child molestation in 2003, the magnificent talent and entertainter that he is clearly outshines the negative aspects of his life.
Michael Jackson is a legend. And probably, alongside Elvis Presley, is the greatest individual music talent the world has ever seen.
No one could have done it better than you, MJ. Even though I was not a fan and did not know you personally, you have had an impact in my life and i'm sure an even greater impact in the life of billions of others who were your fans.
Thanks for the great memories. Your legend will live on forever.
R.I.P.
