MJ

I wasn't going to do this, but its finally sinking in that he is gone forever. I found out yesterday evening, and the real sadness of it didnt hit me right away.

There will never be anyone else in the world like Michael. He was truly a brilliant entertainer.

I predict that all of the people who have always been judgmental of him all of these years will be crawling out of the woodwork to gush about how wonderful and talented he was. I wish people could show someone like him how significant his contribution was to the world while he was still alive to appreciate it.

He was different, but that shouldn't have mattered. I dont know why people couldn't look past those things to what was truly important- his music.

I have an understanding of Michael that is very different from other people. Both of our families were Jehovahs Witnesses. There is no describing this upbringing and the permanent damage it inflicts. My siblings and I know it only far too well. It is no way to grow up.
This is a quote from Michael during his interview with M.Bashir:
"If I am guilty of anything, it is giving all that I have to help children all over the world. It is of loving children of all ages and races … it is of enjoying through them the childhood that I missed myself."

Unless you were raised a JW and all that it involves, you have no right whatsoever to judge someones behaviour who survived it. I could go on forever about this, but Im not going to. Suffice it to say that Michael had every right to be wierd. If your childhood had been stripped from you, you would know what a huge hole it leaves in your life.

This is a great loss to the world, but he will not be forgotten.
