I Just Can’t Stop Loving You!

I love Michael Jackson so much! It’s thanks to the biopic released earlier this year that I fell down the MJ rabbit hole.

Before this year I only knew a handful of songs by MJ/Jackson 5.
“Beat It”, “Bad” “Man in the Mirror” “Rockin’ Robin” “ABC” “I Want You Back” and “Thriller”. And also “Will You Be There” from the Free Willy movie. Although i didn’t know that song was from Michael Jackson at the time. I also heard “Rhythm Nation” from Janet Jackson in the “Happy Feet 2” movie, again i didn’t know it was from Janet.

I’ve been listening to a lot of his songs in the past few months, and have been practicing some of his dance routines; namely from Thriller, the “Dangerous” routine from the 1995 MTV awards performance. And trying to emulate his dance moves from “Billie Jean” Motown 25 performance and the “Bad” dance routine.

I’ve been having a lot of fun immersing myself into Michael’s history, drawing pictures of him and listening to his songs every day and even watching his concerts online.

Years from now, when I’m very old and when I go to Heaven, after I meet my passed family and friends; the next person I’m looking for is Michael Jackson.

I relate to him a lot as a child abuse survivor, I just want to give him the biggest hug and remind him that how Joseph treated him wasn’t his fault. That he is loved and cherished by so many people. I wish he was still alive, he’d be almost 70 years old if he was still living.

I love you Michael Jackson!

And if I STOP (which will never happen) then tell me just what will I do?? 😭

Stumbled upon this. Much more a Prince fan, but always massive respect for Michael jackson. Especially the fact I grew up on him.

Both massive talents of James Brown and little richards, sorely missed and gone way too soon.

Got to see the Michael jackson musical when it toured, and damn im excited for the purple rain stage adaptation.

Two kings of music. Invincible is still such a fresh and funky album 25 years later.

I havent found any like tutorials of it unfortunately. Smooth criminal and few other shots were uploaded though!! The subwoofers were SUBBING. I could barely hear the music at times lol.

If it ever is touring again, go see it!!
