Now don't expect this to be your run of the mill cliche' brief tribute journals saying as little as 'R.I.P'. I'm actually gonna take the time to sum up my feelings on the whole scenario with the death of the Legend just taken from us.

So where do I begin? Well lets start with the fans, I was a Michael Jackson fan, one of millions, and I bet even though some people despised him they must have had at least one fave M.J. hit that was stuck in their head for weeks at one point of their lives.
I find it so touching to see how many fans throughout the world have all been moved by Jackson's tragic passing, before he announced his comeback tour I was quite oblivious to how many of his fans were still around, but to see the masses scream to see the legend on stage one more time just shocked me, but it breaks my heart to think that all that excitement will be in vain now as of the tradegy that had just occured.

I'll admit I shed a tear when I heard of his death because I didn't like Michael Jackson as a musician, I liked him even more as a person, say what you want about how obscure he may have been for the last few years but I have always found a sweet feature to him, unlike CERTAIN pop stars like Britney Spears M.J. was never loud and outrageous, you never heard about him getting wasted and beating up hookers with a shoe horn, no the man was always humble enough to keep his problems hidden away to himself, the Media however like vultures dived in on him and over exaggerated his health problems and made him out to be more monster then man.

Now the MEDIA...GOD where do I start with the Media. Isn't it just TYPICAL that in death would they stop hounding Micheal Jackson for the wrong reasons and finally pay tribute to his contributions to the world of music.
It was thanks to the Media that when the child molestation cases came about the public branded M.J a villain before the verdict was anywhere near being announced, and god has he been ridiculed ever since all that went down.
I'm happy that the newspapers are paying ommage to him now but I still feel as if they had a lot to do with the ridicule he had to endure for the last couple of years.

So I sugest everyone spend the day dusting off old Michael Jackson CD's or if you have none pop over to Youtube and check out the man's greatest hits, with his passing I'm sure his music will be even more popular then ever before.

Rest In Peace Michael Joseph Jackson your presence among us shall always be treasured.
