I mean, I can understand and I'm sure they liked his music alright before hand but as with most people, he wasn't completely appreciated until after his death. I'm sure in a week or two many people will shut up about him and go back to listening to Jonas Brothers...
When I listen to him now I can't shake the feeling that I am ONLY doing it because he's what's popular right now. But SCREW that feeling! I listened to him even in the week BEFORE his death as with every week before THEN! I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed every second of his music. It's just so alive and emotional, the whole lot of it.
So if someone catches me listening to and dancing to Michael Jackson right now, it's nothing new...
Anyways, on from that rant. I watched the memorial today and I was in tears most of the time. Other times, I was almost ready to scream from awkwardness. People say that Brooke Shields brought them to tears but she just made me feel almost embarrassed. The way she spoke seemed like bad acting and it didn't move me at all. Maria Carey is unbearable for me to watch with those hand movements she can't seem to stop. And I loved that MJ's daughter spoke but the family reaching in moving the mic and Janet telling her to speak up made me so uncomfortable! All those hands reminded me of the Helping Hands on Labyrinth in the scene where Sarah is falling down and all the hands are reaching out to grab her, wtf! Just leave the girl alone, we could hear her fine and you're causing too much commotion!
But really, I thought it was a fitting public memorial for Michael Jackson.
Oh and over a year ago I made a video dressed as Charlie Chaplin dancing to "Bad" and I honestly had no idea there was any connection between Charlie and Michael. I had no idea MJ was a fan of CC! Fun times...

That's really cool about your video! There's also people who are so determined to point out that they are so much better than us and weren't really fans just in case he really did molest the children. Same here about listening to MJ music. Id do it a few times a year. Mostly I listen to my Simon & Garfunkel box set. Somehow it's kept me happy for like 6 years now, lol. As a kid, I loved We are the World and Bad. I didn't like Thriller too much to be honest, but I don't hate it either. It didn't move me like most of his other stuff. I'm glad people like him suddenly, it means they know they were wrong and they feel stupid. Maybe they'll repent and ask God to forgive them for indulging in gossip! Even if he did do it... innocent until proven guilty.
