MJ

MJ – two letters are enough to bring the whole picture of the legend in one’s head. The ‘King of pop’ will not perform again in this world. He was scheduled to perform ‘50 comeback concerts’ in London O2 Arena from July 13, 2009 till March 6, 2010. It would have been single highest earning & most popular event in the music would, which now will never take place.

He was no doubt one of the most popular persons of all times. To some he was known for his heart thumping music, to some he was known for the all the controversy came under the title of child molestation, but the one reason he should be known & remembered forever is the message he tried to convey to the whole world for more than half of his 50 year life – Peace. He dedicated very large part of his work & a lot of time for the one noble cause – to make this world a better place for the next generation.

Yes, I do like the most popular singles of his viz. Thriller, Bad, Dangerous; but the ones I really venerate the legend for are The Earth Song, We are the world, Heal the world, Have you seen my childhood, Gone too soon – just to name a few. If you ever had any doubt about the greatness of the legendary artist or his message, I’d suggest you listen to the songs, even better just watch the videos. If you don’t have tears in your eyes after watching each one of these then you can doubt your humanity.

I really think it was curtains on the one of few angels of peace too soon. His work here was not done. He’s ‘Gone too soon’. Of course the Legend that was MJ will live on eternally through his singles but I still wonder, will he rise back from his tomb to complete his work like in ‘Thriller’ or will this day reverse to take us to the glorious past like ‘The Earth song’. For most of the world the news has still not sunk in to make the effect. Many of them are wishing for his soul to Rest In Peace. But there is one thing we really need to do so that he could really RIP – each one of us has to vow that we would do all it takes the to do what he preached for, to make the world a better place for the generations to come – ‘Heal the World’

May we always remember the eternal Legend of ‘King of pop’ for all the right reasons & may he keep doing his ‘Moonwalks’ in the heavens as he’d be doing in the hearts of his fans – amen!
