Michael Jackson – King of Pop

June 25, 2009.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop has passed away. I started listening to him in late high school, maybe even after high school. I have a lot of great memories listening to his music. I didn’t realize how much of an effect he had on my life until he was gone. I remember days when I’d listen to his music in my car and sing my heart out. The Jackson 5 stuff always put me in a positive mood! It’s amazing how music can change the course of how your day will turn out. I even wanted to see him perform live one day, but that dream can no longer come true. There is a LOT running through my mind about the whole situation and I’m trying hard to think about the positive things. I can’t help but also think about the negativity that surrounded his life.

The media was cruel to Michael. Having experienced what little fame I have, I can’t even start to imagine how hard it must have been for him. To have to listen to and read rumors that aren’t true. To have people follow your every move. It must have been a pain to always have to defend your every action. Sure, we all make mistakes in life, but if you’re Michael, one mistake, and the world is there to judge in an instant. Especially now with the Internet, word travels extremely fast.

We are so brainwashed and accepting from the media! When TMZ reported that Michael Jackson died, I refused to believe that because I needed the information from more sources. I didn’t let my mind believe JUST because they said something. Some people are quick to believe EVERYTHING put out by ANY source. Especially a stupid company like TMZ. You HAVE to be an immoral person to work for that company. There’s no way you could feel great about your job. It’s pitiful. OK, I admit that I have gone to their websites on a couple occasions and done some “immediate” judging of the people in the video, but I caught myself and asked “what am I doing”? I tell people not to be judgmental, yet here I go about doing the very act I despise and preach against.

Yes, I’m a hypocrite, but we all are. The thing that sets you apart is that you’re a person who tries not to be as opposed to a person that doesn’t care. We should all try to achieve more in ourselves and become better people in all aspects of life.

Going back to Michael. I believe that the constant harassing of the media contributed to Michael’s bad health. How can it not? Sometimes (rarely), I can read a comment on one of my videos that can put me in a bad mood for an entire day. (I’m getting better about it though). Michael got that times a thousand since he was a KID. I feel bad that he left the world this way. It’s not fair.

I guess we can say that Michael can finally rest in peace. Here’s a video of basically what I said here.

Michael Jackson will be missed Forever.

You are the King of Pop

RIP 1958-2009

PS. These 3 clips show the real Michael Jackson -

i saw one of his interviews the media is sick. I mean they would go to the hotel he was staying at before he got there. They would put automatic cameras in places like under the toilet under the bad in the cielling. They even put a motion activated video camera behind an airvent in the ceiling. This was right after he married Lisa. You know that is such an invasion of privacy for anybody not just Michael. Rest in peace Michael you deserve it after all the shit people put you through. I love you.

zoooommmmm

Hi David,

I just stumbled on one of your youtube video, and the boom boom pow cover caught my attention, so I keep on playing other videos you had, guess what I become an instant. I love the cover you made for poker face and womanizer! damn! I posted womanizer video in my facebook profile and my friends gave cool reviews.

Nice of you to have your own songs, cool lyrics, specially windmwill, love it! I wish records stores here in manila, would have copies of your album.

I wish you could do a cover of Michael Jackson's Bad. Keep it up buddy!

sorry for the double comment. i hadnt realized i already posted :X

I'm part korean david :P lol
anyways back to michael jackson. if it's not obvious already that he's innocent, *sick of the haters. they're stupid. then just leave him alone when hes dead.
i recommend the books written about his cases and the videos that prove his innocence. but people choose to be immature and write hateful comments like
"YEAH THAT MOTHER F***ER IS DEAD NOW! HE CAN MOLEST SATAN IN HELL!"
from my own personal beliefs, i just know Michael's in Heaven...I can't picture that man in hell. it's like a puppy in prison. because he had a fondness for children, and he had a pure soul, people thought he was a molester.
if you can't wake up to the facts that the families that accused him were already locos, & no other kid said he was a molester, & his ex-workers that were pissed at him said BS about him when it's fake and they admitted it, that hthe people who thought he was guilty are lousy reporters and nobody hears about them anymore, that Martin Bashir took out a lot of scenes in his show Living with Michael Jackson, then you really don't have a reason to act like you're so smart. i wont go into any more details about his case, if you want to know the whole thing, do the research yourself by a site that's unbiased or reliable.

anyways, when i was about 3 i started to hear his music. i liekd it. it was fixed into my brain in a way. i will always support michael.
those hateful people out there waste their breath. they think they're so kind for hating a "pedophile" when they have no right to. no reason. nothing else to do in their life. i'm so happy that he has more fans that haters (at least from what i've seen.) it makes me happy that at least he didn't die a person that everyone wanted to get rid of.
he paid a price. a price to be famous and the most beloved man. and i guess it was his sanity? the media made him into a "monster." if he cries in an interview, he's not a wimp. hes a person. he's expressing his feelings unlike some who don't have any at all. as a human being, he showed that it was stressing himself out. he just wanted good for kids & people slapped him in the face for it. he couldn't eat anymore at restaurants so if he's skinny, stop taking pictures of him sipping a latte! his kids will know the truth. his family does too. if you took the time to watch his memorial, you'll know why he's always on tv. the WORLD lost an icon. so if you dont like him, that's your own problem. you actually helped this. you made him so depressed his heart just gave out. someone is responsible for this.
God had a better plan for him. he said his work is done and took him away.
let's hope he died the quickest way possible, without as much pain.
he never hurt his kids, and his kids are very lucky to have had a dad like him. they should be very proud. i'm sure they're goin through unbelievable pain. perhaps when they grow older they will have shelter. i'd like to personally tell them that their father was amazing. im sure they know. if the media hurt my dad like they did to theirs, i'd be very upset.

regardless of what anyone says, michael jackson WILL live on forever. in many people's hearts. and that is what matters. those who oppose have no life. hating won't make you a better person.

I pray for his family and fans and friends. Michael is among legends now though. He and Elvis can be the kings up there. I know michael loved michellangelo so he can finally ask him what inspired him.
Michael can moonwalk on the moon for eternity.
he knows that at least I will love him.

God Bless Ya Michael.
God Bless the Good.
God Bless.

I totally agree with you. The media is so stupid sometimes it makes me want to break something. (okay maybe not that far :P)
It hurts me to see all these people writing immature stuff like
"oh yeah its so good hes dead now! his kids are happy! F*** that molester! he can molest satan!"
I mean...WHAT.THE.HELL! Firstly, they don't even have reasons to say that about him. they see all over the place that he's a molester and they believe it! the media and those followers love to spill hate all over the place! if you dont like his music, fine. if you dont want him on the news, fine but he was an awesome singer and dancer whether you believe it or not. people might not like elvis and you dont see them saying all these things. its only because michael was a victim of conspiracy. its because he was more famous thats why. but dont say hateful things about him. if i was related to him i'd be really mad if i saw people writing that. Just because a gossip column has its own magazine or show, does not mean it's accurate. I keep telling people to read the whole case with themolestation and they refuse to listen. they always say well he paid the family. i wont go into more detail about that because it just pisses me off. but whatever, people have choices. i'm sure that it's not going to make them better people for wanting to believe bad and the gossip and hate someone for stupid reasons.
i will always love his music since i was just a little kid. I've always had it in my mind somewhere.
Its nice to know some intelligent people out there really understand his case. they understand what the families wanted from him and that every other kid did not say he was a molester. that its obvious that his ex-workers would talk smack about him.

anyways, i'm also part korean :)
lmao.

Well, if you still hate michael jackson, that's your own problem. don't take it out on people who care. he was a MAJOR icon so dont act like it's stupid that hes on the news all the time. its not like a small celebrity died. he was huge. he broke records. so calm down. yeah we can talk about "more important issues" but ithink we're just giving him the smallest respect he deserved.

plus the media wants to make more money off of him. >:O

Agreed man. Michael Jackson is the product of our society. We created all that bullshit that man had to go through.

Anyway, your MJ covers rock man, the free downloads kick ass.

Much love brutha,

My wife was a fan of MIchael ever since she was 3 years old. She took it very hard, and says she feels the same way you do. She also, told me to embed her video tribute she made.

<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/noAQPzgTOZE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/noAQPzgTOZE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>

She says, "This is the way Michael's fans newly devolped and always loyal fans, should remember him, and forget what the people say. They did it while he was alive, and they will NOT stop, all we can do is remember him. Know that where ever he is, he is now at peace." Gotta go, man! Thanks!

Hi David,

I am not good in writing to put forth my feelings about Michael's departure. What you have said is exactly my true feelings about this whole incident. Even till now, people are still digging up his past (homo sexual life, addiction to drugs etc...) to talk about and most importantly to get attention from the public...why can't they just let it go...he is already gone...

I grew up with his music...I am now 36 and a mother of 2...remembering when I was at the age of 11, I saved my pocket money to buy his Billy Jeans cassette tape and will secretly played it on my elder brother walkman hiding in his closet...it was so much joy listening to his music....

I remembered Michael came to Singapore for concert when I was 17. Still a student, I don't have much money then but still managed to save up for his concert tickets, the cheaper ones by the grandstand in our National Stadium. As it was a free seating ticket...my friends and I went to queue up as early as 11am (concert starts at 7pm) to get a better seat. It was a very hot day and we ended up getting sunburn all over. It was worth it....Michael was awesome...we went crazy and no one was sitting down...everyone was standing and dancing to his music....what a night!

I am in a denial state...sometimes silly thoughts came into my mind...I am still thinking that his death news is a hoax...maybe when I wake up one day I get to read the newspaper headlines " Michael is alive"...

I am very sad that he left the world this way.....I cried while watching his MV "Heal the World" and "One day in your life" on Youtube....I cried so badly....

Hey David, I agree with everything you said and just like everyone else I am sadden by his death. It really sucks that people don't know what/ who they have til it's gone. And it was such a bad day for me too since it was my bday June 25th :/

But Keep up the good work with your music! You inspired me to pick up on piano again :]

muna

I guess, it IS true, that we don't understand the value of what we have till it gone.

I'm so sorry. I just am. I hate it that MJ had to suffer so mch. .. and now he's gone. ..
It'll never be the same.

RIP MJ.
Yo'll always be loved.

Hey David, I'm a great fan of your music... and this was just inspiring. My cousins introduced me to his music at a young age as well. I was exposed to his dancing and his music, and I've honestly been a fan since. In fact, I'm actually one of the few people amongst my friends who enjoys his Invincible album. You are absolutely right about your thoughts. Prayers and respect to Michael Jackson and his family. Thank you for this post and video.

Will the world ever see the likes again? That voice, immense talent and an amazing drive to love and be loved. What a truly poetic and Shakespearean life he had.
I wish I could understand the necessity so many people feel to always hate and destroy.
Michael meant a lot to me, and I will always celebrate him in my heart.
He was a TRUE artist.
Thank you for posting those links, I had completely forgotten about all those funny little moments. And they linked to so many other positive and sweet videos of him. It was good to see. :]

It's such a strange feeling...it's like I've lost my brother.

The greatest thing this has taught me, is that we should never feel ashamed to love anything or anyone. If we love, it must be with an open heart.

No apologies. No regrets.

I'm still in shock, Michael Jackson has just always been there for me, he was the shining star that would never fade out and now that he's gone it feels like the world has changed. I will miss him tremendously, what will happen after this? Is there anything after MJ?

I completely agree with you and he definitely didn't deserve to leave the world this way. He was, is and forever will be the one and only king of pop!!!
