Hello from me too, a new member. I am Christos from Greece and even if I am not a big fannatic, I was and always will be a big admirer of his talent, his music, his songs, his unique dancing, his sensitivity. A was a little kid when the album Thriller had been released and i remember listen to it non stop in my walkman.
I loved his dance songs and i was impressed when I saw him for the first time in concert (no in person unfortunately). I was touched by his slow songs and more specifically with Earth Song where I cried a lot (still I cry) but also the astonishing Childhood. I was appauled when I heard what happened in his childhood and what the monster-father had done to him. I felt deeply for him, I understood him and justified him for wanting to change completely his appearance.
I laughed and I was happy for him when I saw him playing as a small kid in his house, in the swimming-pool, in the fun fair. And naturally I felt his greatness for his humanitarian movements, his love for the children, the nature, the people, the planet. Beyond his incredible talent, God made him made a great HUMAN BEING, something that people can't accept easily and don't forgive that's why they drew him in courts and took advantage of his kindness. It's so tragic that he left so early. I wish that where he is now he will always have a smile in his face and he will play all day with his friends!
Thank you very much for reading me. My thoughts to all of you the big fans. I pray for him.
Christos.
