Michael Jackson - HOW DID I MISS THIS?
Today, I was on youtube trying to find Michael Jackson's audition tape for Motown where he was performing the James Brown song, "I Got this Feeling", and I saw this video by Michael Jackson I have never seen.
I AM SHOCKED. Of all people in this world, HOW COULD I NOT KNOW about this video!?! [People who know me will be completely shocked because I was teased relentlessly in high school and in college about my love of Michael Jackson's music.]
Although I talk my craziness about Prince, I am just as
equally insane about Michael Jackson. It is ALL about the music;
however, I do know more about Michael Jackson's life because I was the type back in the day to read every last morsel of him in the news. And, I will admit that I am STILL a member of his fan club and I even went to law school specifically to be Michael Jackson's lawyer because I did not like how he was being treated when I was in high
school which was in 1989-1992.
Michael Jackson has had a lot of legal woes and I think he has had some excellent attorneys. I pray though he will always have people who are sincere about representing him sincerely. I do not know anything truly about him, but just a few things and that is that he is extremely sensitive, shy and very giving. However, that is what I got from reading his book, Moonwalk.
Since then and with the controversy about the young boys, etc, I could not bear to hear, listen or digest it anymore,
and I had to turn my Michael Jackson light bulb off. Though I have prayed for him and his family, it hurt to hear about the negative things going on in his life almost every day and still till this day. I have had my issues with it because a lot of it does not make sense, but I know there is a lot to his story we will never know.
Fortunately writer Aphrodite Jones has written book, Michael Jackson: Conspiracy, about his legal woes in setting the facts out in the open as to what was going on through Michael Jackson's legal cases. Michael Jackson was found innocent of the child molestation charges in 2005. Remember the jury came to the agreement that he was not guilty! He was exonerated 14 TIMES!
This summer in appreciation of sharing my love of Michael Jackson to my international friends, I wrote this journal entry about him: Here is an entry I wrote about him in my music journal over at last.fm:

as strong as your desire is for him to have loving, caring people around him, i sincerely hope that all of the accusations made against him are not true. like you said, I don't know MJ - but i know he has given us some amazing music and entertainment... not to mention his philanthropy.
Good finding even I knew this video:-).
BTW, when MJ's new album is coming out?
I cannot wait to blow minds when it happens even on YouTube:) LOL:)
Peace!
Bubbles? Now that's a hoot!!!
