I WILL NEVER FORGET UR MOON WALK MIKO!!!
How can one forget a creased crown hat, jeweled gloves, long hairs, inexorable force, eye popping dance moves, high musical versatility and unbreakable popularity? Yes, it’s true. No one can forget the legendary singer, “the king of pop”, Michael Jackson. This man broke all the limits both in his race and music. One of the greatest entertainers ever was an American recording artist. Miko was born on August 29, 1958. He trapped the whole world for almost four decades. His heart touching songs were something extraordinary. His unique talent early by the age of 5 made an immense impact on many of the people all over the world. He made multiple Guinness World Records including the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time". He made his debut in 1968 as a member of “The Jackson 5”. Beginning a solo career in 1971, his 1982 album “Thriller” remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others “Off the wall” (1979), “Bad (1987)”, “Dangerous(1991)”, and “HIStory (1995)”among the best selling.
Jackson’s personal life was more privatized and created a lot of controversies. His changing appearance, i.e.; his skin color which became paler and paler after many plastic surgeries. His bisexual, more feministic facial features made more controversies. He was also accused in 1993 for child sexual abuse. I even heard that he used to get operated to change the body structure to fit his dance moves. Crazy!!Though no charges were brought, he was completely shattered by a series of allegations. He started taking more and more painkillers and his health became very week. He was again tried and acquitted of different child molestation allegations, which provoked a further decline in his health. It was quite obvious because no one can remain happy and healthy after having 93 allegations against them!!! All these allegations tarnished his reputation and career or else we would have got even more music from him.
His career’s last concerts, about 50 concerts starting from July 13th from London were well arranged. He even passed the physical examination, I don’t know how? But on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles, after suffering a cardiac arrest (still more controversies!! No one knows how exactly he died. Even his death certificate.), he left his family, friends and uncountable number of fans. He was 50 when he died. Though some people say he was a little psycho, his talent was something unique. Personally I love Michael Jackson for his style, talent and achievement in life. And I sometimes feel very bad as we can never clone miko, because miko was miko, though he wanted his own clone!!!
My favorite song,” black and white” lyrics:
I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're Black or white
They print my message
In the Saturday sun
I had to tell them
I ain't second to none
And I told about equality
An it's true
Either you're wrong
Or you're right
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain't scared of
Your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl when the
Goin' gets mean
(L.T.B)
Protection
For gangs, clubs,
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
It's a turf war
On a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the bright
Get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color
Don't tell me you agree
With me
When I saw you
Kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black , it's white, whoo
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black , it's white, whoo
