It's goodbye forever now, MJ.

You influenced me from long, long ago, when I was barely a kid. But I never knew about your impact. I wish I had realised you earlier, way earlier than now. I wish I was not too eager about growing up and chasing the billboard charts. I wish that your death was not the cause of the world digging out your old records today. But the cruel truth stands unmistakably in front of our faces.

I cried while watching the memorial, only because of what his daugher said. Yes, Brooke Shields and many others were touching in their speech but where were they during his scandal days? Nobody, could have been more true to him than his own children. He raised them with all his love and everything he had. Even if you don't acknowledge his music, you cannot deny that he was a great father.

Got Essential MJ today and I'm gg to listen to it over and over again.
