Well, I'm new to the community, so I suppose an introduction is in order.
My name is Emily, I'm 21, and I simply adore music and unique fashion. That being said, I think it's no surprise that the great MJ makes my list of loves. I've always enjoyed him both as a person and an entertainer, but in recent years the media circus around him made me turn the other cheek to his life. Now, in death, I look back at all these memories of him and just feel...horrible. I'm young, but I believe all of us, at any age, were and still are mesmorized by this magnificent man.
I never believed he was guilty of horrible crimes and I always considered his musical ability absolutely breathtaking. His stage presence is unmatched and his humble nature just shows how wonderful he really was. I regret ignoring both the bad and the good of Michael's life in recent times. I kick myself for his death being the thing that shook me. I realize many people despise those like me--those who saw Michael's true greatness after he had been taken from us. But I ask you not to be upset and understand how I feel. Although I couldn't possibly help him, I feel like I let him down. I feel like a lot of people let him down. He was a fantastic, talented individual who seemed to do everything and do it with perfection. But as time passed, no one liked Michael being on top of the world anymore. Even though we put him there, we wanted to tear him down. Rip him to shreds. It's disgusting what people will do just to get a story, to make a quick buck.
I hope he can finally be at peace with himself. I am delighted to see such love and support for him in death, even though I desperately wish we could have seen it in life.
