RIP - Michael Joseph Jackson aka MJ aka King of Pop



Are you a die hard fan of MJ? I got to know about MJ via the In Flight Entertainment when I was on my way to the US many many years back. They were playing his #1 hit Black or White over & over again back than. When I'm back to Singapore, that's the very first MJ's cassette tape I bought.

MJ, the King of Pop was pronounced dead on 25 June 2009 after paramedics found him in a coma at his Bel-Air mansion. There is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Jackson, 50, died as he was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.

In May, The Times reported that Jackson had rented the Bel-Air residence and was rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.

His backers envisioned the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could have ultimately encompassed a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could have wiped out Jackson's massive debt.

Although MJ seems to be a strange person when he wanna turn himself from black to white, but for the talent & all the great hits & performance, he definitely deserves to be remembered. Another great man from our childhood memories had left. Rest In Peace...

So, what's you favorite MJ Song? For me, this are all my favorites!! Jam, Remember The Time, Black or White, Beat It, In The Closet, Dangerous, Smooth Criminal, Billy Jean, Thriller, Bad, Dirty Diana, Heal The World & Give it to Me.
