Michael Jackson, if you can't Beat It, Burn This Disco Out

What a pity. We grew up with gay boybands like backstreet boys and westlife, and we were late, cos we let other great artists like Michael Jackson ( 1958 - 2009 ), Elvis, Beatles, BeeGees, Red Hot chilli peppers and the likes, took the the world by storm, and grip it by its throat. People cry for mercy.

Cos their music were so revolutionary, his dance move so additively synchronised, their guitar skills so godly, that the world's jaws dropped and prayed to them like they were their savior.

And today, i realised the power of Twitter when I was still in bed at about 8.05, and I checked tweets from my phone. And I woke up immediately. and apparently everybody has already begun mourning.

3 months ago , I was just compiling all his albums, cos it has been a while since I listened to them.

[1979] Off The Wall
[1982] Thriller
[1987] Bad
[1991] Dangerous
[1995] HIStory
[1997] Blood On The Dance Floor
[2001] Invincible

Even got some 'demo' and unreleased songs. And the legend is gone. As far as I can remember, without wiki-ing it, he performed in Malaysia back in 1997, he went through bankruptcy, a few lawsuits, he sold Neverland Ranch, romoured to have Skin cancer, gone through numerous plastic surgery ( duh ), wanted to do a comeback concert earlier this year in UK, the tickets were sold out and they have to extend a few more nights. And then the concert was cancelled..

the point is, he din leave a good taste in everybody's mouth. A few people I talked to today, were not that emotional about it. haha. oh well. but generally we remember his as the King. There's this theory in HR, that's called the Halo Effect, and it says
if you do 10 good things, and just one bad thing, everybody will remember the ? The bad thing.
If you do 10 bad things, and just one good thing, everybody will remember the good thing.

Of course, you can't really control what is the last thing ppl hear of you? that's why it's scary.
That's why we try to maintain an image in front of others, and it's roughly called 'acting'.

That's why it's dangerous to judge others so quickly, and there's never black or white in life.

Gotta change the Man in the Mirror if you want to change the world.

Do you think MJ will rock the heaven or hell ?
