i'm still kind of upset about michael jackson's death. maybe to some people it's already 'old news' or they never cared about it in the first place. losing him is a huge tragedy to music and to the world, honestly! he was a beautiful person inside and out. i grew up listening to his music. my parents always played oldies for my sister and i, and we used to always listen to this jackson 5 8 track my dad still has. as i got older, i realized how much i loved his voice and when i was going through some really hard times when i was 16 or so i always listened to his song 'you are not alone' and 'smile' over and over and over again. we also had a lot in common. he cares a ton about other people and the earth. he had a tragic life and its so sad that towards the end, people only focused on the negatives and not all the wonderful things he has done for charity and tons of people less fortunate then him. he was a humanitarian even though inside he was always torn apart. i can relate to that. smiling on the outside but sad on the inside. i'm not trying to be cheesy or too sentimental, but just hearing his songs and watching interviews with him on tv make me feel so sad to have lost him. it is so sad. it's a tragedy.

:) Exactly.

Neither of us obviously never knew him personally, but that doesn't mean we can't miss him. I never paid attention to him in the recent years because it was all just media having a hay day so now that he's gone it's kind of the whole 'you don't know what you have 'til it's gone' thing.

I've been listening to his music every day since he passed.

Me too. I'm watching the memorial right now, and I'm not ashamed to be crying.

I don't care how it sounds to anyone, I am so so so sad, and I still am.
