Music Monday - A Tribute to Michael Jackson : King of Pop

Like the rest of the world, I was in a state of utter shock and devastated to hear the news of the untimely death of pop icon Michael Jackson. When my boss broke the tragic news to me, I was in a state of disbelief. Although he has no reason to lie to me, I refuse to believe the news. But curiosity got the better of me. So when I finally switched on my laptop, the news of his death spread like wildfire through news sites, social networks and Twitter non-stop. It was simply shocking.

I spend my childhood listening to Michael’s timeless music and words cannot describe how much the legendary King will be missed. Although I've never been a huge fan of Michael Jackson, it made me sad that the legendary King of Pop was gone despite all the controversies surrounding him in the past decades. So keeping his personal life aside, it’s the music and amazing talent of Michael Jackson, that we should all remember him.

Having said that, he was an undoubtedly amazing moon walker I've ever seen and I don't think we will ever have another magnificent King like him for the rest of the decade because he’s irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Almost instantly, a musical tribute filled the airwaves with his greatest hits. As sad as it may sound, his legacy will never die and forever be cherished in the heart of millions who treasured his undeniable talent.

May his soul rest in peace. I sincerely hope he has finally found some form of peace and happiness in his life he was never able to find in this world. My heart goes out to his three kids and other members of his family.

Until then, I'm featuring a couple of Michael's inspirational songs this week for your listening pleasure. Happy listening!

    I have to say, he was one of my fav pop artists, he marked my childhood in the late eighties and early nineties. What a sad life he had recently and what a sad death :( He could have had a great comeback. But he wasn't meant to. Anyway, great choice and great post.
