Michael Jackson Is Dead
No jokes. Michael Jackson to me is music. I was born in 1980. Thriller came out in 1982. When I was like 3 or 4 years old I got Thriller on vinyl because in preschool it was my favorite thing ever. I used to dance as a baby to Beat It. Off The Wall, Thriller and BAD are the three greatest debut albums of any artist in history. I don’t even care about how much of a weirdo he became, to me he is a legend.
I had planned two updates planned today but they will have to wait until tomorrow. I can’t do anything right now. The King of Pop is dead. Here are my top 5 all time favorite Michael Jackson songs. Although it is really hard to pick just 5.
1. Beat It – This was my first favorite song of all time. I once did a lip sync video to it while my friends had a knife fight.

2. Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough – This is pretty much the theme song for my life. It should be for everyone’s life.

3. Billy Jean – No other song can get me dancing faster. I hear that beat, I go nuts.

4. Rock With You – This song is still being remade over and over again 30 years later. It is THE pop song.

5. Dirty Diana – I have never met someone named Diana without this immediately being stuck in my head.

And Bonus Hit:
ABC – The Jackson 5 have many many amazing songs to pick from, but there is no other song that kills it like ABC.

I agree with Igor… I used to like MJ when i was little… no matter what people say he was a great artist, i was really hoping i could go to one of his shows… unfortunately that isn’t happening now…
Nicely done! Thanks for not getting into all the crap that was also a part of his life. It was what it was… a journey…life.
He touched millions and brought happiness and inspiration. That is what people should remember him for.
