There's A Place InYour Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place CouldBe
Much Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow.............. I still remember almost 10 years back how I watched Michael Jackson's songs in MTV Most Wanted as amazed as every fan. Specially his Earth Song,Will u be there for me, We are the world touched my heart. He was inevitably the King Of Pop. But later I did not have much time for music but once in a while when I'm feeling down I turn back to my childhood hobies. And listning to my favourite music was one of them and always MJ's songs were among them. But yesterday morning when I logged into internet the first chat I got from a friend was a link, I just clicked on it and waited for my super ultra fast dial up conncetion to load the page and after few minutes only I realised the end of the link said Michael_Jackson_Dies_(http://digg.com/celebrity/Michael_Jackson_Dies_2). I was so shocked and could not belive what I was actually seen.I went to yahoo news for more news and yes the "King of Pop" had left us from a cardiac arrest.


I read a lot of articles, I herad about his trial and all but personally I think he should have lived more.In 2008 August 28 J Randy Taraborrelli, the journalist who reported 'Michael Jackson Turns 16' in 1974 and Michael Jackson Turns 21,writes an article for his 50 th birthday where he mentions "He later fancied himself as a new-age Peter Pan and tried to recapture his lost childhood in any way he could - not least through his famous Neverland ranch with all of its amusement park rides, zoo and its bucolic grounds bustling with happy children.". He further says that "Looking back, Neverland - which he bought in 1988 - was the worst thing ever to happen to Michael Jackson. It allowed him too much solitude and gave him the chance to isolate himself from his friends and family, and from common sense. He surrounded himself with children, animals and a false reality - so much so that he never learned how to cope in the real world. He never wanted to grow up, and his managers encouraged these eccentricities when they should have encouraged therapy. They allowed him to live an excessive life and spend money like there was no tomorrow".


This clearly proves how ones childhood afftect the entire life.If Michael Jackson had a normal childhood like the other kids and got the love,afftection and care his later life would have been more beautiful. And also it surprises me how media who gave an image of a monster to him now talking of him as a god. I came across articles where they speek all about his charty work and how he contributed for humantarian yet he was the victim of media criticism for the past 10 years.



This is how the article ends from the writer who has reported more on Jackson in the past 30 years than anyone else - including having written three best-selling books about him concludes his article on Mchael's 50th birthday, 'It's what he hangs on to, the chance that he'll be able to relive the glory days through one of his children. But for a man who is so obsessed with youth, so intent on remaining a child, many fear his birthday will be a day of reckoning for Michael Jackson. He has no plans to celebrate, other than in some small, private way with his children.
And this time there'll be no big interview with me - or anyone - to commemorate the occasion.
He has even begun to regret having plastic surgery and spends much of his time staring at his reflection in the mirror.'I don't know what I was thinking back then,' he recently said. 'Everyone makes mistakes when they're young, I guess. But I still look OK, don't I? I mean, for 40?' When reminded that, in fact, he was about to turn 50, Jackson gave a sad, half smile. 'It all went by so fast, didn't it? I wish I could do it all over again, I really do.' But for Michael Jackson, it seems, the time for a comeback has passed. 'I'm tired,' he said last week. 'I've got nothing left to give. I just want to be left alone. Is that so bad?' '


My post is not complete if I don't include this,"In addition, Jackson believes that the masses of fans who once flocked to his concerts won't be there for him today. He fears they have been turned against him by the trial. At a recent meeting with a promoter in Las Vegas, he expressed amazement at the success of the recent re-release of Thriller. 'I'm really shocked,' he said. 'I can't believe people actually bought it. I heard it sold more than three million copies. Can you believe it?'

It is a question if we,his fans were there in his darkest hours and his trials and his deepest despair but today fans all through out the world are crying out for him but he's not there anymore to see how much we care.

Farewell Michael Jackson, your songs will be with us till you come back in a new form coz I thoroughly believe god should have been more fare to you and hope you will have a blessed life in your next birth and the you will get the love, afftection from that you so earnestly carved for and you will do wonders in the music industry again.

In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tripulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart.

P.S If anybody's wondering why I'm stressing upon his childhood I'd like you to read this part on an interview with The Times Magazine in 1993. The article says "Jackson's life was never, ever normal. For a celebrity of his magnitude, to be seen is to be smothered, to be a star is to be a freak, to be loved is to be abused. A poignant and appalling case history that could have come straight out of Krafft-Ebing, Jackson's childhood was marred by mistreatment. In a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, he recalled his youth, when his father Joseph was making millions off his sons' popularity. Jackson said that in puberty — "very sad, sad years for me" — his father routinely called him ugly, "and I would cry every day." When Winfrey asked, Did your father ever beat you? Jackson tried to smile as he said yes. Then, in an aside to his father, he added, "I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me." With that wincing smile, Jackson was like a wounded orphan who has walked through fire and has booked a return trip."
