I know I haven't posted much and have been lurking so I'm coming out of my shell!
I'm 15 and I admit that only really got to know Michael's music this year and became a really big fan- but I think that's more to do with the fact that when I was growing up, MJ wasn't particularly active so I wasn’t directly exposed.
Somehow, I think I was a fan of Michael the person before I was a fan of his music (even though I loved the hits and my dance school has had a least one MJ song in every show that we’ve done- I’ve danced to Black or White).
I always believed that he was innocent and I watched documentaries about him that were trying to put the record straight. I distinctly remember defending Michael (still am to be honeat) about the child allegations and the colour of his skin to those around me (from seeing Katherine and Joseph on a documentary talking about Michael's vitligo).
I was always drawn to him- as himself.
I remember a time when I watched him on TV performing Billie Jean (no idea when this was but it’s a faint memory from when I was younger) and I being memorised by his dancing- I’d never seen anyone dance like that.
I watched the This Is It concert announcement on the news with a big smile on my face to see him come back. I believe that I thought to know more but put off the research, learning and delving partly due to my obsession of Broadway (it’s taken a lot of my time since I found a love for musicals quite a few years ago). Early this year, there was a MJ music video marathon thing on TV and I watched all of it- without being a proper “in-depth” sort of fan. It was brilliant.
Then all of a sudden Michael was gone. When my mum told me in the morning, it felt like a chunk of my heart had been ripped out. It must have been so much harder for those of you who had watched him at every highlight of his life. I regret that I’ve only decided to look more into Michael’s life after he died (it was like a wake-up call and a really big one) and that I’m sort of a so-called “newcomer” but I promise you guys that I’ll never let go, never ever. These past few months I have learnt so much about Michael that it’s sort of hard to believe- so much so that I can assure that I’m not just “the average fan” and this isn’t a "fad". I just wish that I knew him sooner.
And…I mean…MJ is sexy. Yes, I’m 15 years old and I think 50 year old Michael is just as sexy as the young Michael in the videos!
