Michael Jackson Article: MJ fans who became fans after his death

posted by House34

I've liked the great ..singer, Michael Jackson, for a while back..I remember when I was a kid and I was watching TV and I was hearing about MJ..and I've always loved his music.
But just the rythm. I used to like the songs. They were awesome !! I found a notebook from when I was younger and there's this section with my fav songs and MJ's Earth song and Thriller are there.. I liked the songs.. The rest I didn't care about..I remember being afraid of his face..I don't know..weird memory..
But I loved his music.

I grew up and I got the meaning of the lyrics..and I was amazed..His lyrics are so beautiful..

I remember joining this spot and then leaving it because I didn't like the spot icon..stupid right ? :(
It was all back then.

Well...he..died. I joined this spot after he died again but..

The next day after his death.. I thought about joining the spot again..

You see, before, I didn't know Michael had done such amazing things. I didn't know about the speeches. I didn't know about the kids he's helped, the money he gave for great causes. I just liked the music..about the charges.. I didn't think he was guilty of doing bad things (I remember even now watching TV and there was the trial problem and there he was under the umbrella)..because his lyrics were too great so he had to be amazing too.. But I didn't know him.. really know him. I knew about the singer, the dancer, not the person.

And his..his....his death....his ..after he died..I ..

since he's left, I've been trying to find out more things about him, memorise things he's said, remember the moments I lived in my childhood.. seeing him on TV and all that..I've been trying to gather more and more information so I can let the world know I am his fan and I want to make him live forever.

I want to keep him alive..I don't want anyone to forget him.. my family and everybody in this world.. I want to know things about Michael because he is the kindest person in the world. The kindest I know.

I now know this is the right way and the world has to see it too. I am trying to show the world I have been blessed with love and I want to give it to everyone..so that we can all live in love.

But...actually things are awful if I think of it this way - :( I feel angry with me. I feel terrible because I realise.. I discovered all this after he died.

I sometimes feel ..he had to die so I could see how wonderful he was ? I hate it. I hate myself for that. I wish he were alive to keep giving. He was amazing. And I wish I could see all this before..

I hate that I've known more about him since he passed. And when I hear these people..saying "ooh..you are a fake MJ fan. I love him since.. 19_ _ whatever and you just think you love him but you don't".. :( " I love Michael more" .. "You are not a true fan!"

It's killing me.

What is a true fan ?
If someone has a definition and it totally includes really knowing Michael for a long time before his death, I am not a fan either.

..I just see people who care. Yes, after he died they started to care but they are people who chose to believe in Michael. People who wanted to know him, who gave him a chance. And if they say they love him, that is GREAT. It's great ! How could I judge them ? How could I tell them I love Michael more than they do ? Who am I ? How could anyone judge them ?

I am nobody in this world. I only have myself to judge and I wish I had started to be interested in MJ's LOVE and life way earlier. But that doesn't mean I LOVE him less.

I hate it. He is not here anymore.. and since he died I got to know more about him. And love him more. It's so..hard..to live with this..but I bet there are a lot of persons who wish knew MJ before or who wish they were born earlier..and so on..

I just wish everyone would accept that you CAN be an MJ fan even if you started loving him after he passed.

Maybe..Imagining MJ was alive now.. Maybe I would be just another fan of his music..as I used to be.

It kills me..but it is true..
And I think that dividing MJ fans in real fans and not real fans is soo sad :(

Waterwhip I'm with you. I went through almsot the exact same thing. I am also sick of people telling me I am a fake. If he was still alive, I . . . I wouldnt know who he was. I wouldnt know anything and I might as well be another ignorant hater. But,no, I am no hater nor am I a fighter. I am a proud lover of Michael Joseph Jackson.

DangerousPYT ...okay,i ve been a fan way b4 he died and i knew of his works...i h8 how people think that you r a fake if u didnt know him b4.do they know what lives in your brain and heart? NO! So tell 'em to STFU and as long as you know you have a love that cannot lie 4 michael,they cant hurt u no matter what they say.

droberson1104 This article is articulated so well!!! I have also heard of people who knew of him but may or may not have been into his music. These people never considered themselves fans...UNTIL NOW!!! I think that is so AWESOME!!! Him leaving us is such a shock that it made a lot of us (including me) realize how unique and wonderful he always was. The MAN may be gone but his MESSSAGE is still here with us and if you got the message NOW, it is NEVER too late. The added plus to this whole thing is you get to discover all of the music, art, poetry, and humanitarianism that was either covered by his "eccentricities" or "scandals". Enjoy ALL of his music and short films. Enjoy his style. Enjoy the MAN, which some people tried to keep us away from. He left it ALL for you and us, the world. But MOST importantly, get his MESSAGE and don't ever let go of it!!! Take care friend!!!

OmerBhattisBaby This is soo beautiful,i love michael jackson so much,he is and musical angel JUST GREAT

MichaelsShamone Very nice article. I must say that it was wrong that some people started ''Loving'' MJ even more after he passed away I mean,I don't know how to explain this. I don't judge anyone,I myself am so young that when I was younger Michael wasn't on TV so much anymore but I remember that I Loved to dance on his songs,they played most of his 80's song I was 2 years old at that time and I was still a young child so basicly I don't remember All of it,but I also Must say that if your Love is True for Michael,then that is the most important not when or where you become a fan. I don't blame people because if you are so young and nobody told you about someone then how would you know about them? :( I feel so Sad .. still can't believe that he's Gone .. I still Cry .. Every single day ..

liberiangirl_mj You are so right!! I think in the same way, I never liked how many people are dividing the fans in real fans (before his death) and fake fans (after his death) Those people are really stupid!!! Because MJ is LEGEND, THE KING!! He will have fans after hundreds of years too.. will always be people who will want to discover him, who will love him and protect his legacy. I feel happy when I see young teens loving and being MJ fans!! It's AWESOME to see this. It's awesome to see that his music, genius, love.. will always be here through his fans. There were fake fans too after his death, I know it, I sow it. There were people who cared just few months.. and then they disappeared, they thought they love him but they didn't. (there were persons who told me this... that they are not MJ fans anymore.. and I was really sad when I heared it) The true love never disappear, the true love always stay there.. deep in your heart. And that's the only thing that counts. Your love for Michael.. not the year when you became a fan..

Lovetreehill To be a fan is not a number of years. To be a fan is not how many pictures you posted in this club or how you are active ! To be a fan is a feeling, a heart feeling. Nobody here has the right to say "You're a true or fake fan" Nobody on Earth has the right to judge other ! Only you know how he makes you feel. and to be fan what does it mean in fact ??? I don't know, I have no translation ! All is in our heart and can't be describe by words. I only know Michael was, is and will stay unique, nobody can't be compared to him and the World needs so much many big hearts like him !!! He's missed ! so missed :(

smoothmichael yes i am one those ppls who was fan after hes death idk how i didnt notice the man name Michael Jackson i love him and miss him

louvictoriaa I know exactly what you mean I was the same, I knew who Michael Jackson was and I liked his music my mum told me when I was younger my favourite song was Rockin' Robin. Anyway but I didn't know much about him personally now I do I've been researching reading books and all sorts. But in a way there are such people as 'fake fans' I believe they are the people who didn't like Michael Jackson when he was alive and believed everything that the Media said about him (like he bleached his skin, he never he had a rare skin disease called Vitiligo). But then when he died they claimed they loved him and he was a great person. That's just my opinion. :)

House34 @Lovetreehill "and to be fan what does it mean in fact ??? I don't know, I have no translation ! All is in our heart and can't be describe by words." :( I love you @louvictoriaa, I hope these people you talk about will realize how amazing Michael Jackson was. They have to!...maybe they will start finding out things about him and they'll start loving him

ShyannaLovesMJ I remember when I was younger, and it was the year after he died, and had turned 6. I remember hearing a song on the radio, and it was Man In The Mirror. By the first time I heard this song, I fell in love. The next year, when I was 7, I have learned to explore more sites on the web. And I have already learned that Michael Jackson sung Man In The Mirror. I decided to look Michael Jackson up to get to know more about him. And one thing I didn't know... was that he was dead already. I had a deep pain in my heart. But I still managed to become a fan of him for what comes in the future, but my brother and sister have kinda judged me for it. And to this day, I still love him. But only if I wasn't born so late, and didn't become a fan too late, I would felt better for myself. But now to this day, it's hard to let go, and listening to a song he made about his loneliness scarred me deeply, and if there was someone who was a fan just like me, who can tell me everything will be okay, but I feel like there isn't many anymore. And if there are, they probably won't because they will think I'm annoying, or they're just to far away. And right now.. I feel very lost, and I have no one to relate to without getting annoying. I just hope. But I agree with you.

Didn't Expect This!!!!

posted by thriller4ever

Hello everybody!!

you all guys must be aware that some Michael fans are giving bribes to the security guards to have a glimpse of Micheal's tomb. As a die hard and a helpless fan of mj maybe me too would have gone to any extent for Michael. there are some lucky people who have been able to attend his concerts and the most fortunate people have met him face to face.
but for the others, all they can do is just dream about him or visit his tomb! But what bothers me when i heard this news is that it is written that fans were posing for inappropriate and even disrespectful photos AND the tomb was...

Michael Jackson Someone in the Dark Lyrics:

posted by aitypw

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you

Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My star secret friend and me

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark...

Michael Jackson We are the World (USA for Africa) Lyrics:

posted by aitypw

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and it´s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can´t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will
soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
there´s a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it´s true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll

janet jackson talks about his bro style :)

Janet Jackson speaks out in her first interview since the death of her older brother Michael Jackson.

Janet tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that she hasn't watched television since hearing about the death of her brother on June 25. "You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed," she tells the publication.

She says of growing up with the King of Pop, "He'd have the same red shirt, the same black pants, the same white T-shirt. Mike was very simple. When I was 14 years old, I would shop for him. [Michael was then 21.] I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When mother...

Michael Jackson Jam Lyrics:

Nation to nation
all the world
must come together
face the problems
that we see
then maybe
somehow we can
work it out
I asked my neighbor
for a favor
she said later
what has come of
all the people
have we lost love
of what it's about

I have to find
my peace cuz
no one seems to
let me be
false prophets
cry of doom
what are the
possibilities
I told my brother
there'll be problem times
and tears from fears
we must live each day
like it's the last

Go with it
go with it

it ain't too much stuff
it ain't too much
it ain't too
much for me to

it ain't

it ain't

My life will never be the same
Cause girl you came and changed
The way I walk, the way I talk

Michael Jackson and his obsession with plastics.

posted by aitypw

David Gest claimed that Michael Jackson had pushed the plastic surgeries. The famous TV star and concert organizer said that his old friend was obsessed with his appearance and had to cease operations.

"It was very pretty, anyway, and it should not have any surgery, but plastic are obsessed. This was pushed and I had understood that after some time. And after the second surgery in the nose had to be stopped, but people like the perfect "has the Gest.

"Michael had undergone multiple plastic surgeries and implants in the jaw and nose but had tattooed lips, lashes and on her head to improve its appearance.

Michael Jackson; Life in the Magical Kingdom

posted by gogirl91

It's noon, and somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, the front shades of a row of condos are lowered against a hazy glare. Through the metal gate, the courtyard is silent, except for the distant splat of a fountain against its plastic basin. Then comes the chilling whine of a real-life Valley girl. "Grandmuther. I am not gonna walk a whole block. It's bumid. My hair will be brillo."

And the soothing counterpoint of maternal encouragement: "Be good pup, Jolie. Make for mama."

All along the courtyard's trimmed inner paths, poodles waddle about trailing poodle-cut ladies on pink leashes.

[LYRICS] Nite Line

posted by mj_yana_girl

Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written by Glen Ballard, Brie Howard, David Allen Faragher (1982) for Michael's Thriller album, but failed to make the final track listing.

"When I found out it wasn't going to be on there, I just said, I'll be on the next one," said Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the next two, which cumulatively sold over 50 million. It turned out to be good karma. I feel that if Nite-Line had been on Thriller, I would never have written Man In The Mirror, which is an infinitely better song, and one of the best in my catalogue."

"Give in to me" - lyrics

posted by Beatit

She always takes it with a heart of stone
'Cause all she does
It throws it back to me
I've spent a lifetime looking for someone
Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me, woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Taking me higher
Love is a woman
I don't wanna...

"We Love You Michael" by James Gibbs

posted by Beatit

We love you Michael came from the crowd
They were on their feet and they were loud
Besides feeling great joy I was very proud
As the smoke faded into a dissipating cloud
His brothers left and there was just him
Still looking witty, smart and trim
He was still an absolute rock and roll gem
And he had that R and B soul inside of him
He broke out with a favorite: "Billie Jean"
And from all over there came a great scream
It was like being in some kind of dream
He did the moonwalk and the moonwalk was mean
Again we love you Michael came from the crowd
He had emerged into the light from a very dark...

Michael Jackson: The Essential Playlist

posted by gogirl91

Culling a playlist from an artist as estimable and earth-shaking as Michael Jackson is a monumental task. There's always going to be the one that got away — the shoulda-been classic that got dwarfed simply because his classics were just too towering to allow any runner-ups. But whether chart-topper or quiet victory, what stands out about the best Michael Jackson songs is how the music mostly cleared the way for his outsized personality. His vocal style was marvelously flexible, often favoring simple attack over cheap pyrotechnics, and he applied it to some of the most indelible melodies ever...

Before we got out the car Michael said to me “listen, I love you I don’t want you to feel like your a groupie or something” “Michael, it’s not that I don’t love you, it’s just that I’ve been with guys before and they’ve broken my heart it’s just made it hard for me to give myself to anyone” I replied “ So, you’re a virgin” “Yeah” I said shyly. Michael smiled and said “ that’s great and I will take it slow so whenever your ready”. Just then the driver opened the door, Michael opened the door and held his hand out to help me.

Dear, Michael {Part 2}

posted by MJBabbies1958

July 1, 1982

I woke up to my alarm clock disappointed because Michael never responded, which I didn't expect him to so I don't know why I'm surprised. I grabbed a white pair of shorts and black my Jackson 5 shirt and under clothes. I went downstairs to get a rag and towel to wash off and looked on the table to see a envelope with my sisters name on it and it had Michael's name on it as well. I quickly ran to the table and ripped it open:

"Dear, Zoey first I would like to say happy belated birthday, sorry it took me two days to respond I had loads of fan mail. Your letter really stood out to me,...
