WHAT CAN YOU say about Michael Jackson that hasn’t already been said by EVERYONE in the free world? I have seriously never seen a more famous and beloved person in my entire life. A man that had so much influence, energy, dance moves….Michael Jackson is the most successful artist of all time, and he didn’t even want to sing at first…..

Michael Jackson,with a HUGE push from his dad, started singing at age 6. Sure his dad was massively hard on him, and ALL of Jackson’s brothers….(so much that his dad, Joseph, sat in a chair with a belt in his hand as he and his brothers rehearsed, and that “if you didn’t do it the right way, he would tear you up.”) His dad, granted, would be considered abusive, but at least they learned….to the point that he became the lead singer on the band with him and his brothers, The Jackson 5. 

….HE BLEW UPwhen he left the Jackson 5, absolutely skyrocketed. He revolutionized music. He changed dancing for the better (Moonwalk). He dominated the charts and music ALL his life, and i’m NOT exaggerating. Jackson also broke numerous records as an artist. He earned several Guinness World Records titles, including achieving the longest span of U.S. Top 40 singles, from November 6, 1971, to January 1, 2011. WOW. Thats simply amazing. ONE single person doing that, all by himself. 

EVEN THOUGH HE wasas a Jehovah’s Witness, Jackson was a shy and quiet person off the stage. He was never truly comfortable with the media attention he received and rarely gave interviews. He made his own retreat/amusement park, Neverland Ranch. He had all kinds of different animals there….chimps, giraffes, etc. This guy could buy the world with all the money he made and he bought animals and amusement rides. He just loved children, and was trying to find his childhood, but the scared, greedy, ignorant people took him for a pedophile. He was accused of Child Molestation because some kid said Jackson touched him. They didnt find ANY evidence. And this is true because I had a counselor who WAS one of the investigators of the case. My counselor said that they found NOTHING. Nothing at all.

MICHAEL JACKSON APPEARED a lot of times appeared eccentric, he looked like it too. But he had problems, personal problems. He had another Child Molestation charge in 2005 and again found NO EVIDENCE. It was later confirmed that the kids that accused Michael of it were forced by their parents to do it, for what? Of course, FOR MONEY. And they got it, sadly, millions of it. How LOW people will stoop for some cash. Makes me sick. To shame a poor soul like that and slander his name, and slaughter his reputation because he has cash.

IN HIS LAST yearseveryone thought he was done. I was shocked when he announced in the beginning of 2009 that he would do one last world tour. I was excited. I’d like to see him perform in his age. It was so unexpected when he passed away.

I REMEMBER THE exact exact moment I heard of his death. I was coming home from shopping. I heard on the radio that he passed away. I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it. And then they played his song “Human Nature”, and I started crying. Such an influential and controversial being that died so soon, just when he wanted to show his private self to the world. And what a coincidence that today I saw a video of M.J making a call, frantic and scared….saying that he was afraid for his life and the life of his kids. This wasn’t an overreaction, you could hear the fear in his voice. And I heard this phone conversation because his phone was tapped. So you could say its a “conspiracy theory”. But over all, he was a beautiful human being. Just wanted love. Love over all. I’d say he did pretty good…..
