Michael Jackson - Earth Song.

If you asked anyone who knew me about who my heroes or greatest influences are, they would definitely cite Michael Jackson as one of them or even my biggest hero (other than my mom, but that's a different story).
I cannot even begin to express the respect and admiration that I have for him. He epitomized the pop music scene. Hell, he has made contributions to the music scene that no other individual will be able to mimic. His music has changed my life in so many ways, I wouldn't be where or who I am without it.
People might think that it's somewhat stupid that a person could have such a huge influence on me, but I literally grew up with his music. His music is what molded me into what I am today. His lyrics have the ability to affect me in such a way that it makes me think more than I really should. He is what inspired me to take up the piano in the first place and he is the reason why I'm fighting tooth and nail to be able to make music my career, to make it my entire life.
When I was about 3 or 4, I would dress up in the most ridiculous outfits, pop that video tape of his concert from the Dangerous Tour that my dad bought me into the player and pretend that I was just like him, singing into a water bottle/hairbrush/toothbrush whilst attempting to emulate his dance moves and just wishing that I could have just a little bit of his star quality or his talent. I still feel like that little girl who would have given anything in the world to be as talented as he was.

Yet, people call him "weird". They call him a "freak". They call him a "pedophile". They call him the worst things that people could ever say and to be honest, it hurts to know that this is all they see. Instead of praising or commending him for his work, people overlook all of that and nitpick on his personal life, which I personally find absolutely disgusting.
Why don't you try telling that to the 5 year old who had the chance of a lifetime to see him in his element. To see him live not once, but TWICE and had the best nights of her entire life just watching him do what he does best. Tell that to the 5 year old, who eagerly waited outside his hotel, just to catch a glimpse of him (WHICH SHE SO TOTALLY DID, SO SUCK ON THAT) with a photo of him in her hands, just hoping and praying so hard that he would sign it and make her entire day, or even make her entire childhood (WHICH HE SO TOTALLY DID, SO SUCK ON THAT TOO). Can you do what he's done? Can you emulate what he has contributed to the music world, to the entire society with all the work he has done for children, what he has done to the community?If you can't, then just stfu and gtfo.
I am devastated, I will not deny it. I cried when I heard the news. I went through the 5 stages of grief. My heart felt like a rock in my chest. I am still in denial. I am still devastated because I have to reiterate yet again, the fact that Michael Jackson is my hero. And I am not afraid to admit it.
He is an amazing individual that left the world too soon. I sincerely hope that people will remember him for his work and not for anything else. I hope that people will celebrate his life and all of the great things he has done for the community, for the music industry and especially for his fans (DUDE HE SIGNED MY PICTURE, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?). How ironic is it that he wrote the following quote? Not only is it perfectly apt to describe his life, but it's also one of my favourite lines by him:
I will remember you. The entire world will remember you and your amazing legacy. Keep on moon-walking in that big Neverland in the sky, and as cheesy as that sounds, I think it's absolutely perfect for you.
Thank you for all you have done. You will forever and always be my King of Pop.
