The King of Pop Leaves His Throne (Uncrowned)....

Unfortunately and to the shock of many around the world, 'Musical Genius' and 'World Class Entertainer' Michael Jackson died this June.

At first I thought this is just one of Michael's many publicity stunts with the news updates indecisive about his medical position, and thought how low is he going to stoop to arouse hype for this upcoming tour, or try and weasel his way out of it. Now I'm not being insensitive because just like any other I loved Michael's music, and he was apart of the childhood memories in my home, but earlier this year when I found out about the 50 London shows, I had predicted, probably like may others that he wasn't going fulfil his promise, coincidence...I don't no, but I wouldn't be shocked if there was a conspiracy behind the whole situation that only the Jackson family knows about!

Irrespective of all of that, it really is hard to comprehend that the King of Pop is dead.I have so many fond memories of being with my cousins or siblings singing along to his tunes or that of the Jackson Five, doing the dances (especially that infamous crotch hold or that kick of the leg), even the sing-a-longs to PYT we murdered on rotation in my mum's car!!! Awwww memories ( smile on my face). Who could even deny the excellence and precision that went into his video aka short-films to MJ (Mr.Jackson to the unfamiliar) with 'Billy Jean', 'Smooth Criminal', 'You Rock My World' and the 'Way You Make Me Feel'...( I especially loved that one). A man tortured by the ghost of his childhood and scrutinized and exploited during his adulthood, you only hope that his soul may now rest in peace.

Well Michael as Trevor Nelson would say 'We Salute You'.... your presence in music has left an imprint that will resonate throughout time and is apart of history!!!!
