Michael Jackson was one of the first performers / artists that influence my love of music. I remember in 1983 watching the premier of his music video "Thriller". It was like nothing I had ever watched before. The dancing, the music, the brilliance and the suspense....This would be the start of a journey that I and many others took watching and listening musical and entertainment.....perfection.
Yes Michael Jackson was eccentric, strange and very misunderstood by all... But Michael Jackson was an artist whose greatest critic was himself. He strived for perfection and always pushed himself to the next level.
He loved his fans as much as they loved him.
All credible reports are that he loved his kids and put them first. Even trying to keep them shelted from the intense media spotlight.
It seams sad / unfair that on the eve of Michael Jackson's comeback tour he dies, It would of been his chance to face up to his critics, to show everyone the King of Pop will not be forgotten........but all things happen for a reason.
Whether it was a Pepsi commercial, music video or concert Michael Jackson always used the latest technology...
I remember watching the music video for "Black or White". It was reported that millions were spent on using the latest in CGI (computer generated imaging) to transfer between the different shots of each nationality....A brilliant mind and amazing and talented entertainer / visionary.
Michael Jackson had hits spanning 5 decades, he entertained many people across many generations. He was loved by people of all ages and all nationalities.
I sadly never had the privilege of seeing Michael in concert and unfortunately never will...But Michael Jackson definitely had an influence In my life, He made my world a better place through his music and I will surely miss Michael Jackson's living energy in our world.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) - Entertainer, musician, artist and......perfectionist
