We Are The World - Michael Jackson Lionel Richie Cindy Lauper Steve Wonder Bruce Springsteen...

Michael Jackson is probably the world's greatest pop star. He's as famous as Elvis and only Elton John has sold more records than he, and no one has sold more copies of one record (Thriller) than he has. He's world renowned and a megastar in most countries and even now inspite of allegations of improprieties with children still has a huge fanbase. Few stars can boast of such a feat and fewer yet will ever achieve it. Yet this fame has come at a huge price and now this megastar, this once pop music juggernaut is in seclusion no one knows exactly where for he moves around quite a bit. After the trial that acquitted him of any wrongdoing he took off for a foreign land and stayed in the house of some prince or sheik (whatever) then he was off again to Ireland where purportedly he was looking at homes to buy, and finally in between appearances at trials for Civil Suits brought against him he finally landed in Vegas, so it is said. A quick trip to Japan where he was treated like the star he is and wants to be acknowledged as has been the only real public appearance he's made and he charged thousands of dollars to those who wanted to be in his presence for a few minutes. Since then, nothing else has happened save the lawsuits that constantly harangue him as he tries to hold on to his most prized possessions; Neverland Ranch (why I don't know), his music catalogues (The Beatles, Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic) and most likely his sanity. How could so much go so wrong, I know he's asking himself and I must admit when I've nothing better to do I've pondered it myself. I mean, he had everything any man could possibly want, and yet he's had more trouble than any HUMAN could possibly deal with! WHAT WENT WRONG? Well my take on this may be a bit unflattering but trust you me, it's kind compared to what others have said about him. But basically, when you wanna' be a god instead of a man then you have to deal with godlike issues and one of those is rebellion of the masses.

I must say that at one time I worshipped the ground Michael Jackson walked on. I wanted to be him, I wanted to be like him, I wanted to be with him, I wished I was his brother, I would have been his pet dog just to be near him. He was perfect in every way to me and I absolutely adored him for it. But then things started to go wrong in paradise like when he had his first nose-job. I wondered why he did that for I felt there was nothing wrong with his appearance. Notwithstanding that at the time he STILL looked like a black man, so I forgave that. I didn't like him walking around with the monkey either but okay he can afford a monkey let him have one. Then he came out with his new cd 'Bad' and I noticed he was 100 shades lighter than he was on the cover of 'Thriller' (not my favorite album. I preferred 'Off the Wall') and then I knew something was wrong. Plus with another nose job and other things done (the cheeks, the chin, the eyes) my hero was starting to look like a sideshow FREAK! What happened to this beautiful black man who had been the pride of Afrocentric rebellion and strength? He had went Hollywood in the worst way and even beyond that; he turned his back on us and showed us how proud he was to be Black, NOT AT ALL! He wanted to be something else and it was reflected in the choices he had made in his professional and personal life. After realizing that,and it was a hard realization to come to, my hero became a big fat zero and I wasn't the only one. He has disappointed many people and thank God for one thing that didn't really change all that much; and that's the quality of his music. The music was still pretty good (though his attempts to transform himself into a rock star was ludicrous at best) and even his last CD 'Invincible' sold 9 million copies. He's got the chops and the fanbase to still be out making hit records. Even after the trial and all the accusations he's faced over being a pedophile (which I'm not sure what to make of. Who pays 20million dollars to somebody and they're innoccent?) he's still got tremendous support amongst the populace. If he put a record out today it would be no.1 by tomorrow and he could command a nice price for a world tour should he decide to do one. The only other thing he could do for me personally is to give back that Beatles song catalog to Paul McCartney. They were friends at one time and it was wrong of him to do that to a friend, even in bizness. Now maybe Paul would have done it to him had he the chance (maybe) but maybe not! He hasn't had that chance and then too business should never come before friendship. Eitherway, mayhaps one day Mike will sit down and review his life and look at his mistakes and learn that he's not a god nor the answer to the world's problems. He's just an R&B singer who's good at his job and that's all he should do.
