the king of pop, at 50, is gone. it's unbelievable! he still had so much more to share; songs to sing, dance moves to execute, and more people to inspire. and to think that he was about to return to performing live starting with a series of concerts, all fifty are sold-out, in london.
while his personal life may be controversial, undoubtedly, mj as an artist is like no other. he changed the music scene ever since the late 60's as part of the jackson 5 and when he went solo and his album "thriller" came out, a music icon was born.
his songs make us wanna dance, sing, help, reach out to someone, make a difference; all that and more. with his passing, his albums and dvd concert series are selling like hotcakes in record bars. i don't have all of his albums but i would like to share with you my favorite mj videos and songs:
videos:
1. remember the time - amazing! i really love this video - the ancient Egyptian setting, eddie murphy, iman, magic johnson, the "magic" element, the dance routine and of course, the cat at the end of the video :)
2. thriller - i thought i was watching a short film not a music video. i guess this is what got me "hooked" on music videos (video hit parade, mtv, channel v, and myx, that sort...). i remember being so mesmerized by the concept and the choreography - of course, the dance moves. all that while being spooked by michael, the zombies, and vincent price's voice :)
songs:
1. remember the time
2. you rock my world - currently in my moto v3x playlist...
3. PYT (pretty young thing)
4. the way you make me feel
5. you are the love of my life
what are your favorite songs and videos?
born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
here one day
gone one night
like a sunset
dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon
yes, you are gone too soon michael, but your legacy, your music will always be with us. thank you...
