Growing up listening to all of my father's music I had always loved Michael Jackson. His songs are some of the best ever and his talent will always triumph over his recent brushes with the law. No one can deny that Michael Jackson really is one of the greatest artists of our time and his songs helped move a few generations. I seriously cried when I heard he was dead today. I hate that the younger generations will remember him as the man who changed his looks dramaticaly and was accused of molesting little children. I don't think this horrible memory will live on in light of all of the beautiful music he left us with though. So though I know none of you guys need to read any more sappy words from someone who admittedly has never even seen Michael Jackson in person, it just makes me feel better to write this out. I was trying to think about which song of his was my favorite and it's really hard to do. First I thought "Beat It", but then I figured it was out of "Smooth Criminal" or "Billie Jean." But the song that really touched me the most was the song "You Are Not Alone". It makes me cry when I hear it and he sings it beautifully.
Which was your favorite?
