Having been fascinated about dancing ever since I was a kid, one of my first celebrity crushes was a man called Micheal Jackson. Although many thought he looked 'feminine', I couldn't have cared less... The man was not only a great singer, but God does he move!!!!!!!
I even recall shutting my bedroom door, pretending to study, but actually trying to copy
some of the King's moves in front of the mirror. Somehow, the pelvic thrusts always seemed incomplete with the "OWW"!!!!
All the girls my age were swooning to the tunes of Billie Jean, Black or White, In the Closet, Thriller and many many others. I distinctly remember watching images of women weeping on television for MJ everytime he made a public appearance. And I always wondered..."okay I know he's good...but crying for him...really!!!!!!"
Soon, time went by and the BSBs and the Boyzones replaced MJ. Until today, when the first thing Google decides to tell me is "Micheal Jackson no more.Dies of cardiac arrest". Now, I'm not one of those crazy fans who'd break down and cry everytime their favourite celebrity is going thorugh a bad time... (read SRK fans crying everytime they saw Kal Ho Naa Ho). But, somehow, today was different.
Not only did I youtube all of his famous videos, but I also actually bothered writing an antire blog entry dedicated just to him. Other opinions and news about MJ notwithstanding, the world really has lost a legend and am not in the least embarassed to admit that today, a fan cried...R.I.P MJ...we love you
