I recently posted a blog titled "Michael Jackson is dead! GET OVER IT!"
Yesterday I received a response worthy of a blog all it's own.
This woman clearly didn't read through my blog properly because she totally missed the fact that I too am a Michael Jackson fan.
I am just a Michael Jackson fan who, at the time of that blog, was absolutely sick to death of hearing about his death. 'Every' channel was doing it. The BBC and ITV had something to say during EVERY news report. Other channels were showing documentaries. Even channels that didn't have shows had adverts promoting new albums of his greatest hits (talk about jumping on the band wagon).
Newspapers were dedicating pages and pages........ and even more pages to the life and times of MJ.
I even gave up listening to the radio because it didn't matter what channel you listened to you could guaranteed that every hour there was at least 2 or more MJ hits.
I couldn't change the channel on anything because it didn't matter where I went, there he was.
The world had gone Michael Jackson MAD! Trying to deify a man who, after everything was said and done WAS just a pop star and showman, albeit a very good one.
So here in Yellow is that very response with comments by me in white........
"Oh aren't u being just a bit DRAMATIC with the whole MJ being everywhere comments? No, just giving MY point of view.
I actually would love to c him on television and now that its been a month since his death, its rare to c even a video! Thank god for small mercies. Surely you can get everything you want to see on DVD? Notice the way the word see is actually spelled SEE and not C.
Change the friggen station for crying out loud, he's not on everyone!! Erm, I tried that one.... didn't work because HE WAS on everyone.
Obviously u r just the bandwagon, I can't even say fan but u catch my drift, who is ignorant to ALL facts, michael jackson. Wrong again. I am totally aware of everything Michael Jackson because I grew up through all his BEST years and fabulous videos. And it's YOU ARE not U R.
I'm so tired of hearing people say that he was nothing but a great entertainer! Great Entertainer, singer, songwriter, dancer...... but that's it.
FYI he's made the guiness book of world records for being the star to donate the MOST money to charities! The man went on several tours and donated every penny earned to charities! That in itself I believe makes him worthy of some serious air time! True, but he's not the only one who does this and considering most of this work was done in the last 10 - 15 years makes you wonder what he was trying to get people to forget.
Another thing, I love how everyone is so quick to make comments about his mental health and appearance. Who the hell r u to judge? Likewise, who the hell are you to judge me? The man WAS mentally ill and surrounded by 'yes' men. He had no-one to turn to for real advice. All people wanted was his money, they just wanted a piece of it. It's no wonder he was ill.
once again this brings me back to ur (your!!!!) ignorance. The man had been famous since he was 5!! He had no childhood and wanted nothing more than to experience what we all did when we were kids, have fun! If u have the money to build ur own amusement park and buy a friggen monkey, more power to u! He was, is, and always will b the KING and I hope for every remaining day of ur life that u r graced with an appearance and/or song of his! God I hope not! It would get very boring and would actually put me off wanting to watch or listen and that would be a shame.
So there you have it. Another deranged fan tries to have her say. She attacked the wrong person. I stand by what I said.
Now I am going back to my 'life'....... which 'I' actually have.
