Michael Jackson was a force in the music world, defining the eighties. Michael was a true musical genius and visionary – artists that we don’t experience anymore and will probably never again. In fact, I have always used Michael Jackson as a reference point for “GREATNESS” with my discussions with artists.
Michael left us legendary songs along with timeless videos. Billy Jean, Beat It, and Thriller are some of the best directed music videos of all time.
Those videos were mini movies, giving us a narrative to the song that we haven’t seen before. How many videos can you close your eyes and literally replay the whole video in your mind? Each frame had relevance, created for perfection.
Although Michael was a gifted human being, it certainly came with a host of problems. Let us learn of the darkness that can come along with the fame and fortune. As one philosopher said, “How does one live on the inside when everything one wants on the outside is within reach but has left one emptier on the inside than before?”
We all know the famous songs from Michael, with that said, let me leave you with one of my favorite obscure songs with the King of Pop singing the chorus in the track called Somebody’s Watching Me.
My condolences goes out to his family.
R.I.P. M.J.

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON.
I was excited for him and all his opportunities in London. I was excited for a big comeback for him.
A most captivating entertainer and performer no matter if you were into his music or not.
RIP MJ
Why hasnt anyone in the mainstream covered “Somebody’s Watching Me” yet? That geico commercial doesnt do that song enough justice.

Every time Jackson belts out that chorus in Somebody’s Watching Me it gives me the chills. Apparently, Michael wanted to sing that song after hearing the demo version. This song was a minor hit in the eighties.
my favorite Michael Jackson video is smooth criminal!

My favorite part is 5:40+
RIP Michael!
“Somebodys Watching Me” was recorded by Motown CEO Berry Gordys son “Rockwell”. Michael knew him and decided to help him out by singing backgrounds. Doubt that song would have gone anywhere without Michaels contribution.
My favorite MJ song is Billy Jean. I still remember watching that video when I was about 5 years old. It’s unfortutnate that he had a lot of money / legal problems toward the end of his life.
well, he was not promiscuos. his life was not to share, but to give. i was not the biggest fan, but i truelly feel i lost something precious. smiles for the king
We will pray for your soul MJ and hope your kids will always be together..
great Jackson live performance
