mj .... i want you back

been listening to old mj and jackson 5 songs (and covers) while i've been working today. my own mini-tribute.

what a sad loss. at least he'll enter the pantheon of greats that all passed away early: elvis, princess di, james dean, marilyn monroe, bruce lee, jfk. i bet they're partying away in heaven now, away from the sneering taunts of the media.

when i was still in elementary school, he was at his peak. i remember back then i would daydream that he would show up at our school and i could hang out with him.

even in the 90's people were saying he wasn't cool and made fun of him and my feeling was always "dude, if he showed up right now you would be fawning all over him".

may he rest in peace.

mine are:

man in the mirror
smooth criminal
i want you back
billie jean
beat it

here's another great song:

looking at a bunch of his videos. i have to say that i think he looked best right around this time (early 80's).

Who really gave a shit about him until he died?

- Gone Too Soon
- Heal the World
- We are te World
- Ben
- I'll be there
- Black or White... these songs have been ringing in my head ever since news broke last week.

His death really over shadowed the loss of Farrah Fawcett...

Nobody mentions yet, but for me, I prefer his 'softer' tunes - 'Ben' and 'The Girl Is Mine'. Last time, also like Paul McCartney's 'Pipes of Peace' & 'Ebony & Ivory' (duet with Stevie Wonder). Such meaningful songs. Later favourite is 'Heal the World' and the video for 'Earth Song' is just breath-taking. Indeed, a great loss for the music industry :(

He was a tragic figure. Why pretend otherwise?

I feel his early-80s look was the most decent of his changed looks. I liked his original look the most.

Rock With You
Working Day and Night
Billie Jean
Thriller

I think Rock With You is my favorite. It`s an upbeat MJ song---really joyous. I would put Michael among those brilliant black entertainers who died too young like Jimi Hendrix - Otis Redding - Marvin Gaye - Sam Cooke... At least Michael had a really good run and had it appears his creative days behind him.

You know my Buddhist master (who is a reincarnation of a past great Buddha) said many years ago that Michael was a great cultivator/practitioner in his previous life. He said in his past life Michael had created much merit through doing a lot of charitable deeds he had done previously, and this was why he became famous this life.

The great thing about him is that despite being famous he was still humble. There were stories that he had been to see these homeless people, and after the initial encounter (where most of the press had left by then) he went back to see them....and bought them boxes of pizza!!

He was such a kind person....if that doesn't make you cry I don't know what does........ -_-

born in la, moved to maryland when i was 5, then back to california to go to college. joined one of my best friend's company in xiamen and ended up moving to china. now working on a new project with boys from alive (alivenotdead.com) and spending most of my time in hong kong. lots of changes in my outlook on life, the universe, and everything over the past few years. abc, but my chinese ain't that hot. super high metabolism, though it's slowed down a lot recently. look young, feel old. while driving, the guy in your rearview mirror singing at the top of his lungs to himself. highly optimistic, except when it comes to girls. tend to only like the ones that wouldn't like me back. believe strongly in karma and the golden rule. agnostic. not interested in politics. tend to assume the best in people. oblivious to sarcasm and jokes. feel that life is too short; felt that way for as long as i can remember. if you're not happy where you are, do something about it. take the road less traveled. afraid of heights, speed, and the supernatural. wish i could fly like superman. left handed. obsessive compulsive. very neat. drink socially, but don't smoke or do drugs; i don't trust my willpower if i start. poor willpower, but strong ideals - which unfortunately can result in hypocrisy. pick things up quickly, but also quickly lose interest in things. bad at keeping in touch. lazy, but ambitious. overpowering conscience. can't cheat or tell lies at all. introspective. care too much about what other people think. shy and aloof with strangers. yet if i'm in a club and a song i like comes on, i will be the first one on the dance floor. want to be popular. want to be in a band, be in a movie, write a book, create a game, and more -- if only there was enough time to do it all! try to push people to reach their potential. nerd leader. want to be the nice guy that doesn't finish last.
