Healing The World One Record at a Time (Week 7)


When it comes to being a generous, warm-hearted, genuine, and pure spirit: Michael Jackson takes the cake. Oprah second. A lot of times people focus on the negative and look past all of the positive things that Michael Jackson has done. He has helped so many unfortunate people from smaller communities, and expanding throughout the whole world. Michael was always looking to help other people who had it worse than him. Michael Jackson's charity list runs longer than the Great Wall of China! (Probably.) I know we all love "We All The World," the hit single that he wrote with Lionel Richie and recorded with an all-star cast in order to raise money for Africa. He was always sending great messages through his music in order to make a difference, and he certainly did. Not to mention, The Millennium Issue of the Guinness Book Of Records gave Michael Jackson the title of “Pop Star who supports the most charity organizations.” Isn't he just the greatest?

Features on Features! (Week 6)

Paul McCartney. Slash. Diana Ross. Even his sister, Janet Jackson. Yes: I'm talking about FEATURES. Does anyone have a favorite? We all know I don't! That's like picking a favorite child, just about impossible. Although, I must say..."Say Say Say" and "The Girl is Mine" always gives me the chills! That"s TWO legends in two songs!!! Their two music styles and unique talents sound so perfect together! Not to mention the music video for "Say Say Say" starring Michael Jackson's very own younger sister, La Toya Jackson. The video was extremely exciting to watch! I'd know, I've seen it remotely a million times. So, tell me...if you have one, what's your favorite?

DEATH TO TABLOIDS


You've all heard "Leave Me Alone" haven't you? I'm sure we can all come to the conclusion that the tabloids are extremely parasitic. They like to take stories, over exaggerate, and LIE about things in order to distort people's views for a quick and measly dollar. Everyone knows how much trouble Michael Jackson has had with the media's lies. He takes their lies to heart. How would you feel if hordes of people looked at you as a monster, knowing you were innocent? I for one have absolutely no respect for tabloids. If you don't have enough skill to relay stories to the public truthfully, then you have no talent at all. What do you all think about the numerous lies that were told about Michael Jackson?

Michael Jackson: Fashion Icon


So, how many red jackets with a million zippers have you seen since Michael Jackson wore it in his famous "Thriller" video? I'll wait. Many people fail to realize the major impact that Michael Jackson has had on the fashion industry. His very unique and distinct personal style is often imitated, but I'm sure we can all agree that it can never be duplicated. He has several signature looks that he is known for. From embellished attire, to the sequined gloves and socks, it is safe to say that Michael has made his mark in the fashion industry. What's your favorite MJ look? Comment below!

Michael/Joe Jackson's Controversial Relationship (Week 5)


As most of us know, the relationship between Michael Jackson and his father Joe Jackson is definitely not the closest. Michael has become more and more open about the abusive relationship, telling his fans how he used to be beaten if he failed to succeed in his father's eyes. What does Joe have to say about this? For some reason, he's proud of his wrongdoings. He tell's CNN's Kate McClaughlin, "I'm glad I was tough, because look what I came out with. I came out with some kids that everybody loved all over the world. And they treated everybody right." Joe doesn't realize the permanent damage that he's done to Michael Jackson's life. Many believe this is why he grew up to become a "troubled adult." Michael Jackson was childlike, not childish. He cherished the innocence and freedom of children at an age later than most, because he was not able to do so during his own childhood. Some people believe what Joe has done to Michael and his brother's is acceptable. Others, (including myself, obviously) agree that Joe should feel remorse and suffer some type of repercussions even to this day. What do you think? Comment below!

So, raise your hand if you all think that I could talk about Michael Jackson all day long if I wanted to? OKAY that's just about everyone, solid. HOWEVER: Today I feel as though one of his precious seeds should be discussed. You all know and love her. Yes! It's Paris Jackson. I for one am completely interested in this beautiful soul because I see SO many similarities between their characters. Back when I had a twitter, I followed Paris and all I can say is obsessed! She is such a free-spirited individual with so many morals that her father clearly passed down to her. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her! She even previously had long, beautiful hair, and then she chopped it all off for a mullet she thought would look cool. She has a very spunky style that basically says "I don't care what you have to think about me." Even from her tweets you could tell she is extremely mature for the age of 15. It's safe to say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Sigh. Well guys, the iPhone 5s is finally out. The iPhone 5 (which was JUST recently released) is now a thing of the past. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about. Apple is constantly coming out with new phones every 5 minutes it seems, with only one to a few new changes. My question is, what's the point of all this? 
As soon as Apple drops a new product, people jump right up and camp outside of the stores. And the lines are usually as long as the Wall of China. Quite frankly, I would be content with the iPhone 4s. All I need is some sort of device to blast "Thriller" on!
All of the hype doesn't interest me. Unlike many people, I don't follow all the the latest iPhone trends. My iTunes is full of Michael Jackson songs. From "Wanna Be Where You Are" to "Butterflies." Truthfully, that's all that matters to me. 
I do appreciate Apple for the iTunes program, because I get to keep all of my great music. It can easily be transported to any Apple device which is indeed, amazing.
I do know one thing though, Apple's iPhone 5s can be easily compared to Michael Jackson. Both are always at the top of their game! Like I always say, just check the stats!
