Michael Jackson' obituary

Before moving on, let's turn your speaker on and wallow in the velvety melody of "Heal the world"...




It has been nearly 2 months since the day our world no more has Michael Jackson (August 29th,1958 - June 25th, 2009). But whenever listening to the immortal melody of "Heal the world" or "We are the world", my heart seems to be transfixed, the feeling of loves and peacefulness just comes and occupies my mind. That's one of the reasons why I have chosen M.J for my writing. Moreover, he has been so famous that I am pretty sure that all of you have at least once listening to his wonderful and pure voice. Thus it would be nice if many people have the same feeling towards him as me, so that we can discuss and share more with each other.

Though I am not a "crazy" fan of M.J, he is always in my heart as the symbol of a humane and talented singer. The more I know about "the King of Pop", the more I admire and respect him. Formerly, as many people, I had thought that his skin turned into white because of his cosmetic surgeries, but in fact, he was like that because he got a disease called "Vitiligo" that made his skin fade into white. This is just a small story related to Jackson' personal life but it makes me think a lot. It turns out that many people as well as I have misunderstood about him. Jackson was also a normal person like us, just different in the way that he was a big star, "a person of public", so any small thing of his life can be woven into bad rumors. Nevertheless, ignoring all the stuff people have spread cruelly around him, M.J was always himself, living in just the way he was. "Be yourself", that's the big lesson I have learnt from him. In the world being fulled of lies, in my eyes however, M.J was the worst liar. Looking into his eyes, seeing he smiled, I can feel the trustfulness in his heart. Woa, it seems that I am idolizing M.J but it's true, let's try it, you would feel the same like me, I swear :)

Concerning M.J, it cannot be denied that he was one of the most talented singers in the world. I love him not only because of his talent but also of his strict and serious working attitude. In spite of being fatigued and stressful all the time, Jackson had devoted all of his life to the development of music. That makes me really move and I have talked to myself "Talented person like M.J still works very hard, so how a normal person like me can be lazy". In other words, M.J is one of the motivation and model for me to try harder in work and life, to set goals for myself and give it all to reach those targets. In this way, not only is Jackson a famous singer who brings me the beautiful melodies whenever I get stuck in life but he is also my "imaginary" friend who is always by my side and gives me encouragement to strive in life.

The final thing I can feel in our great star is his charity. During his time, M.J contributed a lot to help and support the poor, the unluckly children and many victims of HIV/AIDS. It is Jackson that was one of the first person who attracted the attention of the public to the awareness of HIV, the controversial issue at that time.

General speaking, an excellent artist, a hard-working person, a magnanimous heart, all contribute to make Michael a really big and admirable star, a good model for me and others to follow.
