i am not a fan nor i hate this man. but i have a high respect for this guy, given all his contributions in the music industry. he is the musical influence of many singers known today such as usher, chris brown and justin timberlake to name a few which i am a fan of.
i was born during the 80’s where he was big, but my musical inclination is not yet roused at that time it is only in the middle of the 90’s where my fascination in music grew. where pop music dominated the airwaves. and that time, i already know who the guy is. of course, he is a household name. who would not know michael jackson the king of pop, his songs which he is famous for such as thriller, black and white, beat it, and billie jean?
his single from his invincible album which came out early of 2001, you rock my world, is my favorite song of his. i’m sure many of you will not agree with me since he has songs that are definitely classics and big hits. but let me remind you again that i am not a fan, and i just started liking him when he came out with this song. that’s when it all started. and i have then listened to his songs before, the classic ones, the songs which made him the king of pop. and made me realized that he is worthy of the said title.
i have been hearing that he has plans of making a comeback this year. he have announced earlier this year that he will return giving live performances. he also have collaborated previously with akon, will.i.am and kanye west for the re release of his album thriller. i must say though that i am waiting for his comeback and how will he redeem himself, like mariah carey did, since his 2001 supposedlly “comeback” fell short to expectations. but this comeback will not be possible because he is now gone.
for sure the man has his own share of scandals and controversies but i hope all of this can be put in rest now. let’s just hope that his family will be able to cope up with his loss. and hopefully, whenever we mention his name, we can think of him as a singer who somehow touched the lives of many, not the man who has gone from black to white or the baby dangling daddy and some form of mockery. he will surely be missed, but definitely his legacy will live on forever.
