MJs, First visit in Manila, Philippines 1976Last Sunday at 10:30 P.M. was a night of tribute to Michael Jackson and his music here in Manila. As his 30th Anniversary concert was aired on TV for all Filipinos to see. I am not a huge fan of Michael Jackson but when I saw the concert, I knew I had to be. (too late?) Well... Music lasts forever... his voice will always be heard, even when he's gone. It's just too overwhelming to see him perform, he really gives it all and I'm just so sorry I wasn't there to watch him live when I was 16 and he came here for a concert. tsk. Yeah, I blame myself ... I blame myself for not being a fan and now I'm one of those people who wishes to hoard all of his albums out the music store! I was young and naive. What can I say?!
He's just SUUUUPER!!! We were glued to the television when it was his time to perform. He didn't slack a bit, he just went on and on as if he'd dance and sing with all his might even if it would kill him. That's how much passion he showed the crowd who endlessly cheered.
To me, that was too much for somebody to endure if he had already been sick with lupus. I felt for him. As if he showed the whole world his life. All about performing, all about music, all about people. His life was so public, that even in death he isn't given peace. Has he been buried yet? ... with finality? I thought that after the memorial service at the Staple Center, he'd already be laid to rest. But news surfaces that his body will be moved from a crypt in Hollywood to ... elsewhere (they won't say where) But I surely agree with his mum, saying that he should NOT be buried in Neverland, because Michael, when he was alive doesn't want to return EVER to his Neverland Ranch after the raid in 2003, where a videotape of the Neverland interiors was exposed to the public for the first time, revealing his penchant for all things childish and ... a room of life-sized figures of "people"... hmmnn ... it's as if your Diary has been revealed for the world to see and I guess that's the reason why he never wants to go back. Well, to others it was bizaare for him to be collecting all those things BUT now to me, it's sad. Just SAD. As I watched the video featured on E! News ... it wasn't as bizaare and as weird as it used to be when he was still alive. Now it's just a sad thing that his Neverland Ranch is screaming with frustration. All things he never had as a child and all things he never had as a person, he tried to get. Could it be that the life-sized figures that were in his office represents companions??? It's an eerie room but to him it probably is a room of "people" who aren't judgemental, who aren't accusing, if he had done bad, those "people" wont cast the first stone at him. He really could have used some real friends when he was down from all those controversies and lawsuits. And well now, they are all there mourning the lost times and doing interviews. I'm not saying all, I mean some. We all have those kind of people anyway, they show up when the tide is clear or when there's opportunity. I think now it's enough, by this time it should be enough. I think it's about time that we all let go and do our final salute to the King of Pop and let him have the peace that he could have really wanted while living.
He is the finest in his craft and I salute him in sharing it with the world.

Great tribute Sassy! I love Michael Jackson and I'm not really sure what it says about me that I really didn't find him all that strange. I guess I'm not sure how I would have turned out myself had I had all the money and fame in the world from the age of 11 and been secluded and alone and used as he was. I see that I might tend to be eccentric and strange as well.
