There will only be one King of Pop

RIP MJ 1958-2009, the greatest artist of this lifetime.

I thought I wouldn't write anything about MJ's passing considering no amount of words could cover the spectrum of emotions that I'm sure any MJ fan has gone through, but I just had to say some thoughts on the issue 'cause I just can't keep quiet on my opinions.

I realized something beyond the context of him being the most influential and greatest musical icon of this generation.. because I realized that when MJ left his spirit shined the brightest and I want to be sure that instead of carrying such a dismal attitude about losing the greatest musical icon of this century, we chose to celebrate the fact that MJ brought music to life, he made people believe in magic regardless of where they were from Taiwan or Tennessee, Puerto-Rican or Philipino, a teenager or a grandfather. What MJ did was untouchable and can never be replicated. Just in the same way that what you and I bring in this world can't be done by any other person.

What Michael did, he made sure exuded perfection. Whether it be his performance or his song, he put his heart and soul into it. Would do you need to put your heart and soul into? Whether it be something simple like making someone's day or something as difficult like realizing you have to fuel actions in order to see success.. you'll only shine your light to others when they take a look at you and know that you are a genuine individual, who puts their heart into everything they do.

When it's all said and done, when MJ went on his way to moonwalk in heaven with God, people didn't think: "the world has lost a strange and crazy man." People were saying: "this world has lost the King of Pop."

The drama, the chaos, the controversy all disappear and the simple question remains, what did you do to inspire people, to shine your soul to others and give yourselves to them? [Gives you a moment]

For M.J. it was music..

Whatever it be, remember each day to live your life so that when you leave, you know your spirit will be shining the brightest.

Follow the example of MJ, and rock this world. in everything you do. Make moments magical the way MJ made music real.
