Left Image: ‘Is Michael Jackson Real?’ 2009,Rolling Stone,Michael Jackson Special Tribute,p.60.
Put aside the allegations, his skin discolourations and permanent face changes, Michael Jackson was a worldwide phenomenom. From his jaw-dropping dance moves to his energetic and capturing voice.
He exemplified both power and awe, which lead to his high success and his title of 'King Of Pop'.
From just a young boy in the Jackson 5, Michael definitely stood out from his four brothers. His talent was unquestionable! Soon after he became a solo artist, and just rocked the world like no other.
He is the most awarded entertainers the world has ever known, he is compared to the likes of Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.
Michael inspired all of us to change the world, to heal it and therefore make it a better place. He tore down divisions and eradicated barriers between all races, so that we could all form as one, rather than to be secluded and separated due to our colour or race.
Rev. Al Sharpton quotes ‘He fed the Hungry long before Live 8...He out sang his cynics, out danced his doubters, he outperformed his pessimists. Everytime he got knocked down,he got back up. Everytime you counted him out he came back in. Michael never stopped!’
Who has the power to sell 35 million albums worldwide?
Who attempted to make our world a better place?
Who donated millions of dollars to charity?
Who helped millions of starving children?
Who loved the world?
Who cared about our impact on the world?
Michael lives on.
Wow, this is so well written, It kind of makes you think that we judged him so quickly and maybe we should have kept an open mind and not be so quick to judge!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more posts with information relating to how much money he donated and everything just because i'm slightly cynical of michael jackson. although thriller probably one of the greatest video clips ever.
ReplyDeleteThank you Hayley, greatly appreciated. Michael was too quicly judged, media has affected his life in so many detrimental ways.
ReplyDeleteIn response to Shannons comment, Michael Jackson has donated millions upon millions to charities, it is too much to even write down but I will link you to a great website. It makes you think that he was a real asset to the world! Thriller is amazing.
