I didn't want him to 'just beat it' yet...

I was born a child of the 90's, mid 90's to be exact. So I couldn't appreciate the feel of the music that was raging then, because I was too young. Nevertheless, Michael Jackson was always present. I remember being 7 years old and going down to my friend Jessica's house to film 'our show'. The show consisted of her dad's video camera, us doing fake commercials and interviewing her older brother. When we would interview him, we'd go up to his room turn down the lights, leaving only a little green lamp on, and play MJ's "Thriller". We'd do that every single time and it never got less funnier.
As I got older I started to hear the whispers and cruel jokes about this man's life. I always believed that no matter what he was being accused of he would always be a music legend. In the last year or so, I started getting more and more into oldies. And with that came the Jackson 5 and a little more MJ. It was so beaituful how a rythm could make you feel so alive, so happy. It was like an electric shock going through your body. I was enamored by the sensual and appealing "PYT", captivated by the strong and imperative "Beat It", forced to have fun dancing "Thriller", and those are just a few.
The stage presence that characterized Michael Jackson will be hard to imitate, because believe me through the years it'll continue to be imitated. Like John Mayer said: "Michael Jackson, like James Brown and Prince, are nearly uncoverable. The tunes were about his innate talent and can't really be replicated."
His label scream, seducing dance steps, and young voice kept all of the young generation and will keep us dancing for a long time.
With fifty years because of a heart attack a father of two children, an irreplaceable talent, a brother, and bussinessman passed away. I know my words won't do him the justice he deserves, but I write this with the best intentions.
We love you Michael Jackson. May you always be in our hearts and souls.

Michael Joseph Jackson
(August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
