michael jackson.

okayy. honestly, if yuhh didnt know that Michael Jackson passed away ... you've been living under a rock. even though i didn't grow up listening to him like my mother did, i have so much respect for this man. he's a true musical genius and has directly &&. indirectly influenced me. obviously i am not thee only person affected by his death - whether negative or positive - buht i know for sure that real music died when Michael died. since the day he passed i've been keeping up with all the news and coming legal battles &&. in my opinion, his death has become a media circus. quite a few news channels and websites have decided that they will not only report on the singer's death, buht also trudge up old controversies and dramas. i happen to think that it so unnecessary &&. disrespectful to speak ill of the dead. for me when yuhh say Michael Jackson, i think of a man who just wanted to please people &&. make others happy. when yuhh say Michael Jackson, i envision a musical genius who broke cultural barriers. buht i also think of a man that obviously had too many problems in his lifetime. i only wish someone had spoken to him extensively &&. had been there before he self-destructed. my question for yuhh as the reader--- why try to tarnish a man's reputation even though he's no longer around to defend it??. smh

RestInHeaven Michael. Yuh will be missed <3>
