King of Pop-- Micahel Jackson.....

i wanna write something about Michael Jackson. but im still lost for words.
im not much of a fan of MJ. but, i do like some of his songs..

the past week was all about him all over. everywhere i go, it's his music i hear. (random: my playlist is on shuffle and while writing this, You Are Not Alone played) everytime i turn on the tv, news about his death is what's being talked about.

i just woke up and turned the tv on when i heard the news on Unang Hirit that he was rushed in the hospital. it was nothing for me. but minutes after that breaking news, it was confirmed that MJ, The King of Pop, died. i was dumbfounded. i just stared at the tv trying to absorb everything. THE MICHAEL JACKSON --dead. no, this can't be happening. he can't die. he still has a tour! plus he's still not done making music.

i didn't cry. but when Janet Jackson spoke to the public, that's when my tears started rolling. it's real. he is dead. gone. gone too soon.

im not much of a fan of him. i don't own any MJ record. but i know the lines to some of his songs. its hard not to coz i grew up to his music. there was even a time where i hated everything on MTV coz MJ is all i see. i even wondered why everyone's crazy over him.

it was just a couple of years back that i realized why he is HE. and it was just a couple of months ago that i really, i mean REALLY started to like his music. thanks to American Idol!

i watched the live coverage of his funeral on CNN.com last night. i slept around 3am with the tv on. watched the news when i woke up 3 hours after. watched replays over and over again. Usher and John Mayers performance blew me away. Paris, his daughter made me cry. really cry. she just said a couple of lines but that didn't stop me from crying. when brooke shields spoke, all i remember is that i felt like i was floating. i still can't believe his gone.






there's still a lot of things i want to share. i just don't know how. for sure i'll have more MJ posts coming. one post isn't enough. i may not be much of a fan of MJ but he has touched me with his songs, he molded not just my childhood but our childhood through his songs. he gave us hope. he gave us strength.






THANK YOU KING OF POP! your music will live on forever... RIP
