"Don't wanna be a boy /you wanna be a man/You wanna stay alive/better do what you can/so BEAT IT"

Hey Everyone!
Today is the one year death anniversary of Michael Jackson. Exactly one year ago, he passed and he is missed to this day. I think everyone is going to remember where they were when they heard the news. I happened to be downstairs on facebook when this girl I don't even no wrote on her status "Michael jackson died" with eyes kind of like this "O.o" My mind thought what? So I went to google and typed in Michael Jackson dead and it lead me to TMZ who had a picture of a guy on a stretcher (didn't look to much like the legendary M.J.)and said he was dead. I didn't believe it so I went upstairs and was like "MOM! did you hear michael jackson died?" And she was like: "No...it's probably not true turn on cnn". So we turned on the news and it said that michael jackson was in the hospital. But they had already started showing pictures of him as a child and "great moments". Thats when my aunt called me and said, "Michael is dead. Thats why cnn is showing all of this. " Within seconds CNN changed the breaking news headline to say that the greatest entertainer that ever lived has left us. I don't think i'll ever forget it.

Over this last year I have become a big michael jackson fan so today I wanted to remember him by watching some old interviews and such. Here are some songs I absolutley love by him.

1. I'll be there - Jackson 5
2. PYT - Michael Jackson (thriller album)
3. Human Nature (thriller album)
4. Billie Jean
5. Thriller
6. Beat it
7. Man in the mirror
8. Black or White
9. Heal the world
10. I want you back

Those are just ten, but every single MJ song out there is wonderful. Especially when you watch the videos or performances. The guy was a musical genius. Especially when you check out the superbowel performances or really anything he did live. He was a talent the world will never see the likes of again.

As a musician, I see so many talents he has that I could never posses. The fact that when he writes a song he fears every instrument, ever beat, knows every note he will sing and every key change. Thats really hard to do, no matter how many years of practice a person has.

My heart still goes out to the Jackson family but especially Katherine (couldn't imagine loosing a child), and Prince Michael the 1st and 2nd, along with Paris Jackson. They had a father who loved them so much and they should never forget it. And to all of Michael's brothers and sisters god will heal the pain of your loss slowly but surly.

What I hope for the future of Michael Jacksons legacy is the stupid stories of molestation and paternity issues will disappear and people will remember him simply for the great talent he possessed and the songs he's written that have filled our lives with happiness. So this blog is to the greatest entertainer that ever lived.... R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson
