Wow….what a shock that was.
I heard it from my sister, she told me a friend of hers had received an alert on his mobile with the news, but I didn’t really believe it. It was later on the telly that I discovered it was true!!!!!
I’ve been a Michael Jackson fan since I was 5 YEARS OLD! He was supposed to be the man I would marry! My mum had recorded one of his concerts on video, and I would watch almost everyday and jump around to his music (better than the crap for kids nowadays). I purchased tapes (yes, CASSETTES) of his albums and I know almost every song off by heart….So it’s heart-wrenching knowing he’s gone…especially mere moments before his last tour ever. It’s sad to see him go…and he wasn’t even that old…
Now, one thing I absolutely DETEST about all of this is the gushing….everywhere! On the news, on entertainment channels, newspapers, magazines…every show on a global scale is babbling on about how great he was, how he’ll be sorely missed blah blah blah….
RUBBISH.
All the media cared about BEFORE his sudden departure was lumping all the stories and rumours of scandal on him, seeking opportunities to make him appear eccentric and absurd, and ridiculing his appearance (well, he didn’t look too great either). That amounts to sky high levels of stress…
And now that he’s dead…oh the admiration, oh the wonder, the awe…let’s dedicate an entire day to this marvellous man…The dedications, the homage paid to this idol who has suddenly been showered with nothing but praise since he kicked the bucket.
Where was the praise when he needed it? They had to kill him first to let the world know it still loves Michael Jackson?
Pathetically hypocritical…
For what it’s worth ol’ Mikey…I always loved you. Bye-bye.
