Blog 1: Michael Jackson And I

I’ve almost never heard a Michael Jackson thing before.Maybe in the deepest of my memories,there was a Negro singer,he changed his skin from black to white.And there was a song named Beat It was often played on Boai(my hometown)TV.I often sang the song,but I didn’t know whose song that was at all.

In 2009,in his fifty,MJ left the world.Fans from all over the world fell in a painful mood,fell in a dark world and all TVs began to report the news or showed some documentaries.Which made me be aware of that a huge thing had happened.

Once I switch over to a channel,at the moment,there appeared a fair-sounding sound‘We are the world,we are the children,we are the …’.Then,I stoped totally,I just thought what on earth there was such a wonderful voice on the earth,it’s so different from what I’ve ever heard before.It did surprised me.However,I didn’t know the name of the song.

After a few weeks,when I walked at the corridor,I heard one of my classmates singing‘We are the world,we are the children,we are the …’.Then,I catched him at once and asked.He told me it’s We Are The World.I downloaded the song and another two songs sung by MJ----Heal The World and You Are Not Alone at the fastest speed.In the next few weeks,three friends of mine and I listened and studied the three songs in the break time.The lyrics were so long,so it’s took me lots of time to sing them well.

‘Heal the world

Make it a better place

For you and for me

And the entire human race

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living

Make a better place

For you and for me

… …’

The song was so beautiful and MJ was so charitable.

From I listened it to now,You Are Not Alone is always my favorite song.MJ’s voice like a female’s a little to some degree.However,it’s the special that makes his just like Angelic Voices.Whether the lyric or the melody,we can say so,You Are Not Alone is perfect.

At the same time,I began to learn MJ for further.I read his brief introduction and watched documentaries about him.Then,I can’t help to admiration for him----what a great man.He achieved so much amazing success.But,in his whole life,there existed all sorts of pains and tragedies,his dark childhood,his leucderma and so on.

I downloaded his other songs and learned them hungry and thirty and enjoyed them everyday.Many of them are so classical and wonderful,such Man In The Mirror,Billie Jean,Dangerous,Earth Song,Black Or White，Childhood ,Smooth Criminal and his last song----This Is It and so on.This Is It is also the name of the leave concert he wanted to hold.Unfortunately,he died before the concert started…
