Or Rest In Peace Michael Jackson, if you prefer. It's a very odd feeling. I used to like Michael Jackson a couple years ago, but only in passing (before the 2 year Beatles stage). When I got the News, I felt this incredible loss, and I didn't know why. Sure he was cool when I was in 5th grade, but slowly, rumors happen, and, well, he just disappeared from my life. So I went on YouTube and watched a couple of old favorites (like Billie Jean and Beat It), engrossed by the way he orchestrates his audience, even through a screen. Then I branched out, timidly, Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Man in the Mirror. I felt an obsession beginning, but I needed to know more. The way he carries himself on stage and sings, angrily, or sadly, did not tell me what kind of a person he was. Could the rumors be true? Could he possibly have such a twisted mind? So I watched an interview. I'm good at reading characters, and a strong emotion hit me. Innocence, childlike and simple. I mean, I know that he is an oddball. To the max. But I felt like I knew him. He does not have it in his heart. All the stuff about re-capturing child hood is true. And the skin? I decided according to what his friends say. Besides the horrible skin-bleaching disease that carries most of the blame, he was an artist. He created an image of neither black nor white, not male or female. All of that junk saying it's because he hates being a black man is absolutely false. Michael Jackson was a sweet and beautiful, if not lost or hurt, man. If you don't believe me, watch one of the videos below, and watch him plead with the interviewer with a tearful face to release him from this night mare. He loves children. He's great with children. And I believe we can do his memory the best service by letting him know we love him and believe that he s completely innocent. I love you, MJ King of Pop.YouTube - Michael Jackson's Private Home Movies Part 5 I LUV THIS ONE!!!! Shows how he is with kids :)
