Death of a Legend

Its not too often in life when one can really stand around and say this is a moment in time when History is made and remembered. The treaty of Versailles after World War One was perhaps looked upon as a defeat for the Germans, a contract signing, something that everyone does after the war. But no one expected it to lead to something of bigger proportions namely World War 2. Sometimes in life, we can look at something and realise that it begins a chain reaction of epic proportions that engulfs our worlds.

There are times however that a singular news alone will be a momentum by itself. It is not like a tidal wave that starts off small before revealing it's destructive doom upon the dear mortals that cower before it. These news often mark significant events whether it would be personal or world wide. Such events (20th and 21st century) include the death of Elvis Presley, September 11, Communism saying bye bye in Russia, the birth of yours truly etc...

I feel the death of Micheal Jackson, the King of Pop is such an event. I've never been one of those screaming fans of his, namely because i'm not one of those crazy fans and i was not born in that era. However i do admit of all the stars that perform, his is one of the only one that i would actually open my wallet (being very stingy with the music industry which can be seen by my downloading of songs and "borrowing" tracks from friends which is bascially copy and paste) and pay a large sum just to see MJ dance around on the stage. His life and career is what impacted the world, the King of Pop. Similarly Elvis Presley I believe is known as the King fo Rock or something. I do not listen to Elvis because that was really really far before my time but MJ on the other hand was sort of near my time plus my parents listened to him which helped in the exposure of the eccentric pop king.

If i were to say, truly say in my heart and what i know so far, the people who really impacted the music industry were people like Mozart, Elvis and MJ. Looking at people like Justin Timberlake, whose OBVIOUS music video show an almost identical nature to that of MJ. In fact his former manager (from his Nsync days before he threw in the tower being that arrogant prick and destroyed one of my favourite boy bands) said there goes a MJ wannabe (something along that lines). Before MJ, seriously think about it, was there any bands and individuals that had the same theme as MJ? If there were any, haha they sure didn't make big in the world to impact it as much. Its only after the king of pop debuted and showed the world his style that everyone has to admit, met with much success, that the MTV of today copies MJ's style. Be it the video effects or even the mass number of people dancing and syncronising. For example, at one time the princess of pop Britney Spears (and she is still one to me) and other pop stars during the turn of the century marked an era where their videos made big due to the constant copying of styles of MJ.

MJ is really pitiful if u ask me, he wasn't the most understandable person (note the world eccentric above) but then again who is? Especially in the music industry with all those #*&$^ paparazzis around. Now some stars got banged in the head and WANT to be followed whereas others just want a normal life.

His life has been a constant facade and a constant life of ridicule by others. Plastic surgery, being a pedophile, being eccentric. I admit, if i have kids i'll be apprehensive to let them stay with him but as a whole i've never insulted MJ at all. This can be asked by anybody, anyone around me. Now during this period of time, a hell of alot of people will be saying "Oh My God MJ, we love you. We've always said nice stuff" and the immediate thing we have to go is "bullshit". Now i'm not trying to say i'm saying his good now, because thats what my stand has always been. The kid story, MJ did try to settle the case out of court but wouldn't you? He alreayd had so much bad publicity and one more isn't going to help make it better. That stupid obese kid made money i tell you, you think he just went around sobbing all the time? I bet after that he was laughing his fat ass to the bank, he got interviews etc, that makes heaps of money. Look if MJ wanted someone to "play around with", i know i'm hot, so he would have gone for me! This is obvious bullshit so pls do not go around saying i want to "play with MJ", that was just a joke.

You know who would i respect in this period of time? 3 types of people.
1) Those who made fun of MJ and admit making fun of him (comedians, public etc)
2) Those who made fun of MJ and still continue to make fun cause thats what being honest and true is about. Not one that trys to go with the flow of sympathy (ESP comedians)
3) those who DIDN'T make fun but do not broadcast it around the globe so that they can earn worldwide fame or get more fame (especially superstars).

Now on the lighter note, MJ had a concert in Britian that was coming up. It was sold out within the first few hours. LOL to the people to bought it... and Damn if it happened in Singapore i would be one of them. No offence MJ but the oxygen tank didn't really help much.
