Mum woke me up on Friday morning with the very sad news that singer Michael Jackson died of a heart attack. I could not believe what I was hearing.
I still feel shocked with the sad, sad news and yet part of me doesn’t want to believe he is actually dead. Michael Jackson has been one of my favourite singers for many years, it is just a shame he had do die so young and just days before his final concerts in London as well. Michael Jackson will be missed by many people the world over. I feel sorry for Michael’s family, especially even more for his 3 kids; Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II, just imagine how devastated they would be to know their dad will never be there for them again.
I remember when I was much younger, my brothers and my sister watched a video of Michael Jackson’s Bucharest concert back in 1992 and I remember Michelle, Beau and Reece would learn Michael’s dance routines while watching that concert! Aaahhhh, the good ol’ days! My first ever Michael Jackson CD was his single “You Are Not Alone”, but my first ever full CD of songs was his HIStory double CD set. Since then I started getting some more CDs of him, but I’ve still got more to get (the CD pictured above, Visionary: The Video Singles is just one of them)! Right now while I’m writing this, I’ve got my iPod Classic 80GB shuffling through Michael’s albums and compilations I have put on it. I don't have one favourite song.....instead I have many and all his hits are among them. Michael’s video clips are all pretty good too, especially the Thriller one. Michael didn’t like to call them video clips, he called them films.
I've watching the news reports and tributes for most of the day. It is still very hard to believe, especially when Michael had a lot more years ahead of him. Michael was and always be a great legend! From what I read earlier on in the year, Michael Jackson was working on an album, but time will tell if that album was completed or not, because if it was completed, we can expect it to be released, otherwise if it isn’t, Invincible will be Michael’s final studio album. I really enjoyed Michael’s dancing, especially in concert (even though I’ve only seen him on TV). Michael’s music will forever be an inspiration and he had a great talent that no one can beat.
MICHAEL, WE WILL MISS YOU GREATLY, BUT YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!
