R.I.P. M.J.

Actually I didn’t want to write about Michael Jackson passing away, but right now I watched some of his videos on youtube and just couldn’t resist.

I think it’s a shame that he passed away so sudden. He’s truly the best dancer and singer there ever will be. I must say, a few tears were falling when I heard this news. I also have to say, that I start crying pretty fast, also if a person I never met died ;).

I have a friend who was totally obsessed with Michael Jackson when she was a teenager. She had EVERYTHING! An umbrella, the gloves, t-shirts, pens and a lot lot LOT more. And in the year 1996, 13 years ago when I was age 14, we went to Michael Jackson’s HIStory Tour. We went to his opening concert in Prague. We took a bus early in the morning (her parents, me, another friend and a whole bus full of Michael Jackson fans), arrived in Prague a few hours later, got off the bus and ran! Ran so fast to get as close to the stage as possible. We waited long, but his concert is the best I’ve ever seen (well, I guess that’s not hard to achieve).

He came on stage from the ground (Watch a youtube video - looking at it still gives me goosebumps) and just stood there. I have never screamed so hard in my life! The people huge crowd around me just screamed their lungs out - it was AMAZING!

It’s just such a shame that I was only 14, that I didn’t really know that the King of Pop is performing, that I didn’t buy a cup or T-Shirt or have a digital camera, that I didn’t save the concert ticket (ouch!).

I thought (as mentioned above) he was an amazing singer and dancer, a great performer and entertainer. His songs, music videos and stage performances are just plain amazing! The choreography is amazing! His moves… I could go on.

I hope (although I don’t know him and actually shouldn’t care) he’ll be remembered by his music and dance-style and not by the things he supposedly did to little kids (I never believed in that. I just thought that some uptight mommys/daddys commanded their kids to say that MJ did something to them, so that they could cash up a whole bunch of money. Getting 20 Mio. Dollar? Nice!). He was quite a strange man (you’d be a strange person too if you were famous since the age of 6 and would have to give 200% every day), but quite an impressive one as well.

So rest in peace Michael Jackson, you will be missed.
