R.I.P Michael Jackson



Some of you might have already seen my new YouTube video regarding this topic but it's Day 2 and I still can't accept the fact that he's ACTUALLY dead! I turned on the news yesterday and headline "Michael Jackson Dead" my head just went light right at that instant and I yelled very loudly "WHAT??" even though there was no one home. My eyes were glued to the TV screen and hearing everyone say what's been going on and I'm just sitting there going like...noo....effing....way......

The reason why I've admired and respected this man for those of you who don't know yet is because, ever since I was little, around 5 years old like ever since my aunt showed me the "Billie Jean" music video, suddenly this unexplainable feeling of joy and happiness just surged through my body, and IMMEDIATELY I was hooked. The guy had such a unique voice, so soulful and strong! His dance moves were also so sharp and so awesome and cool I was instantly inspired. I would watch his music videos over and over again, sometimes I would dance and sing to his songs even though back then the only words in English I knew was "yes" and "no". I'd also take a sweeper and pretend it's a guitar, that was how much I wanted to be like him and how awesome he is along with his talent in singing and dancing.

His death seemed a little TOO soon for me...I'd always think he would die around the time I'm 30 or something...and also, watching him perform and his mvs he seemed to have surpassed the boundary of being human, so I thought he could get through everything...apparently not...unless this whole thing was a scam and he's actually not dead...

I've never noticed this before, but he didn't seem to have played such a big part in my life before, but now that he passed away it feels like everything that he's ever built up that's a part of me is just sort of gone...like it feels empty inside in some places now...before it was like "okay he's alive and he's awesome" now it's just like "he's dead...I can't believe it...now what am I gonna do..." especially the fact that he's always been a huge inspiration to me and he's the one that built up my interest in my music. Now some parts of that feels like it's gone, but some parts will still always remain.

R.I.P Michael Jackson! You will always be my #1 inspiration! Thank you for these many great years of music and memories!!

This is the music video that got me interested in guitar.
