hmmm...honestly, I thought I don’t know his music that well...until today. I didn't realize that how much he has "infiltrated" my life. Every single song played on radio today, I have heard of it in my life, or somewhat was familiar with. Thrill, Beat it, Billie Jane…Looking back, he has really been a significant singer in the history of modern music. He has impact many generations, even the teens today. His music is universal, people from all over the world to pay a tribute to him today. I know for fact that at least the Chinese and American radio station are dedicating some time today to play his old tunes, and I bet there are other international stations out there in the world played his music today. His influence is un-matchable.
It is very complicated, because later in his years, he does have a really bad reputation in the public. But his work in the music world is un-deniable. There are still many many people in Asia right now try to role play him on the television. He is truly a legend.
I have seen many comments on facebook about his death, most of them are “RIP, MJ”, or somewhere alone the line. Of course, there are individuals who also comment that he deserves what he got…NO BODY has the right to determine a person’s life, or determine what’s right for other people. I was very offended by their comment, and I think no matter what Michael Jackson did in the past, he should not receive comment such like that.
Talking to my co-worker, she was born in the 1990, and oddly, she can also recognize the lyrics and could sing alone when they were played on the radio. I mean she wasn’t even born in that era! Michael Jackson’s music truly has influence many generations and different races. I think there is no one who can surpass that. Today, I respect Michael and his contribution to the music industry; he is truly the King of Pop.
