Never Can Say Goodbye

If there has been one musician who has been significant in my life it is Michael Jackson. I've been a really big fan ever since I was a little girl. I used to watch the film "Moonwalker" all the time, I also had videos of him in concert, and knew every album and every word off by heart.

I used to imagine Michael was my special invisible friend, and I was the only one who could see him. He would come and visit me in the playground at school...Those daydreams were quite comforting to me when I was little as I didn't really have friends but I felt close to Michael. I think I spent a large part of my childhood daydreaming about things like that!

I like how his songs are about a variety of things as many singers seem to like writing about love and how they love someone and how they no longer love someone but he had many different angles on love...for example...

Billie Jean (A woman who is claiming he impregnated her and now she has his child.)


Ben (About the profound love between boy and rat)


Dirty Diana (About a woman forcing herself sexually on MJ)

I thought I would share some of my favourite songs but these are my favourite songs of the moment, so may change from time to time:


Never Can Say Goodbye








Get On The Floor


Can't Help It


They Don't Care About Us


Who is it?


Dangerous





I feel sorry for Michael Jackson when it comes to the media as nobody seems to take into account he is probably very messed up and suffering psychologically. It has been said he had a very harsh childhood and has had nothing but a life which is alien to the majority of humans. The media just use the vaguely humorous phrase "wacko jacko" which doesn't take into account all the problems he clearly has....

He is a messed up star, he is bound to be. Being in the public eye for that long is not going to leave a guy completly sain. Look at Britney. However.... the pedo claims...

He doesn't seem well at all, does he? I always feel sad for him when I see him interviewed. He just doesn't seem to know who he is or where he fits into the world at all.

I know it is sad, Jenny! I wonder if he has ever got help for all of his issues...because it certainly seems he could do with some.
