Well, I know everyone and their mother has heard by now, but I wanted to take the time to acknowledge a legend, in my eyes, and his music.

MY GOODNESS people. I still can't believe Michael's gone :( I listened to SO MUCH Michael Jackson. SO MUCH! Heck - I think just the other weekend I was trying to do the Moonwalk! LOL! Can't remember where I was and yes, I was sober, which would explain the extra sloppiness. I'm sure had I been "influenced," it would have turned out a little smoother.

I know not everyone was or is fond of MJ, but I am. I grew up listening to his music and I still LOVE his music. The whole "not normal" part of MJ was after the period of time I was learning his music, watching his videos on MTV (when they HAD videos). I loved his talent, his dance moves, his music and darn it - that one GLOVE. Which by the way, I had the MJ barbie doll at one point, WITH the aforementioned, glittery glove.

I never understood the whole death of Elvis and how people actually cried and wow? was he REALLY that big of a deal to you? (just thinking of the people that you could tell, have always been sad about it) Same with John Lennon. And then..... this. I almost drove off the road when I heard it. I could NOT believe it. I admit, I was sad, very sad. Still AM sad. I immediately started thinking of the songs I loved and all the times my cousins and I would listen to his music and try to hit those notes. And I know most of you out there have tried to do the moves from the Thriller dance. I know I've done it REPEATEDLY. Those moves are C-L-A-S-S-I-C.

Songs I loved:

Bad

Dirty Diana

Leave Me Alone

Thriller

Rock With You

Smooth Criminal

Man In The Mirror

Beat It

Billie Jean

The Way You Make Me Feel

Jam

Man..... I love his music. Always will.

Grabbing the crotch and randomly screaming throughout songs, will never be the same. MJ started it and even though it was a LITTLE odd at times.... it made him famous and liked/loved by fans.
