Goodbye MJ, Goodbye the King of Pop
Goodbye Michael Jackson, goodbye, the King of Pop.
I had a shock on Friday when my mother told me of the news of MJ's departure. It was so sudden I didn't even know how to react.
Memories of my childhood came back to me. I remember fighting over the casette tape of Bad and Dangerous with my brother. I also remember listening to his tapes all day long, hearing him belt out numbers like Bad, Thriller, Black or White and Heal The World. Everyone was into MJ in those days and it included children like us. Young as we were, we knew how to sing his songs and that knowledge remains in me until this day.
We were so into MJ I remember my brother and I playing a MJ arcade game at Genting Highlands. Somehow or other as we grew up, the MJ fanatic in us died down but I always remembered the King of Pop.
Just a year before or so, I showed a younger cousin of mine who was not born into the MJ era a Youtube clip of the legendary Moonwalk. At that time, I was marvelling at how smooth his moonwalk was and that nobody could ever take his place as the King of Pop. His slick dance moves stay etched in my mind after all these years.
Who can forget his music videos. I vaguely remember Bad and Thriller, but who can forget Scream, the most expensive video in history? For many years, I was seeing this video top the list on Most Expensive Videos on MTV.
Then came all the bad publicity. Child molestation, the infamous Neverland and what not only increased his appearance in the media. For people like me, I was grieving the fall of the King of Pop and was inwardly sighing how fame could have corrupted a person.
I actually wished that he will not release another album again. I was afraid it would become a failure it would taint his reputation. I wanted to be left with the best from the King. However, I certainly did not hope he would leave behind his legacy like that.
Time will pass and people will probably forget about MJ. But I know I never will.
There is just one word to describe him.
Legendary.
Goodbye Michael Jackson.
Goodbye the King of Pop.

About me
My name is Lim Ming Hui and I am a female. I am born in the sunny island of Singapore (is that good or bad?). I was born on September 24th as a Libran, although to be precise, I am born in a cusp. I love anime and manga.
I pretty much turned everything Italian. Why can't I use other layouts??!!! (ramblings of an otaku...)
