I may not be the screaming, fainting fan-girl when it comes to Michael Jackson but I do recognize a legend when I see one. And Michael Jackson is precisely that, a legend. Staged concerts which moved people from extreme hype to sentimental tears, sang songs from the likes of Thriller to You Are Not Alone, riveted body movements like no other and practically revolutionized the entertainment world, that is only some of among his many accomplishments. I know so because I read about him a lot before and I used to watch youtube videos of him performing. Seeing him on the flat screen made my spirits so alive already that I wonder what's the ultimate effect seeing him live. But that is no longer possible because sadly, he is gone. He was taken away in a heartbeat, or not even, because his heart stopped when he suffered cardiac arrest.
I know he had his eccentricities which led people to shun him and refer to him as "wacko jacko". To them who judged him, all I can say is that people of extreme talent are always misunderstood. He thrives in a realm which is beyond that which we can surpass, so whatever wrong and outlandish things he had done, I believe it is due to his greatness. One like him is always appreciated more when they're gone just like the other misunderstood artists.
Rest in peace Michael Jackson. Your beautiful songs will never be forgotten.
