I love listening to Michael's music, but since he's died, I listen to it and always feel sad that he's not here anymore. But at a party, or in a bar, if one of MJ's songs come on, everybody around me screams, laughs, jumps up and down and all start dancing to the songs.

I can't do that. Because whenever I hear his music, I just feel sad and I sit there listening deeply to the lyrics and thinking about him. Watching these people act psycho, screaming about, makes me hate them because they obviously don't feel that sadness when they hear his songs...Instead, they get all hyper...They might like his music, but surely these people can't be "real" fans because if they were, they would not be in any humor to get so worked up, dancing about like that...And I hate watching these people do it.

I do like the fact they like his songs, but I hate the fact that they just dance to his music without a care in the world, as if nothing has happened!!
 
I so know how you feel... I used to listen to Michael's music CONSTANTLY, but now I just cannot bear hearing his voice, it makes me cry so much.
Try not to hate on those that can still dance to his songs and enjoy his music. Remember that everyone is different - perhaps they have already moved on past the grief and are just celebrating Michael's life? You know, he probably would have wanted that. That's why he gave us his music - so the world has something to remember him by and enjoy long after he's gone.
It makes me happy to see people respond to his music, to appreciate him - and so sad that it took him dying for some to finally see The Artist that he was...
Lots of hugs your way. Just hang in there, yeah?
 
But it's not "long after he's gone". It's only been a month...I don't understand how any fan can be "done" grieving...I just don't understand it.
 
Everybody is different. I was like that at first too. About 3 weeks ago, it was still very fresh for me and I was hanging out with a couple of friends. My friend had this 80's CD she got as a gift that day and she played it, you can guess what the first song was. Billie Jean. My friends were dancing around to it, I don't even think they realized it was Michael Jackson? I'm one that loves to get out and have fun and I love dancing but I really couldn't at that time. I don't know why but I couldn't. They asked me why I was sitting there and I just got up to get water...
I'm a lot better with that now though.

Hope you don't mind that I let this out here but I kind of need to. ha. I was at a graduation party and they played two of Michael's songs. The first one they played was "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough." My cousin, her friends, and all the other teenagers had no freaking clue that was a Michael Jackson song playing because they didn't get up to dance on the dance floor or say anything. But two songs after that, the DJ played Thriller and everybody got up and was like, "Oh my Gosh! Michael Jackson! I love this song so much! He's so cool!" Really now? Come on...I'm very glad people were appreciating him, I really am but that just really bothered me.
 
hi, everyone grieves differently. it very much depends on the individual. some can grieve for a short time and move on and be pretty much back to their usual way of life. for others the grieving can last a last time.
 
^^^I agree. People grieve differently.

After Michael passed, for the first two days I was completely numb. Void of any emotion. Then, two days after he died *BAM* I went into complete depression-mode for about three weeks. Now I'm at the point where I can listen to MJ and feel a sense of happiness that I've been a fan for so long and that i've been able to appreciate his music. Sometimes I get a bit depressed here and there, but for the most part, that pain in the pit of my stomache has subsided. I don't wake up sad anymore, so that's progress for me.

when I'm in the car with my mom and P.Y.T or Rock With You comes on, I get into complete "oh snap, that's my jam" mode because i'm celebrating his life. Maybe that's what these people were doing, OP-- celebrating the genius of Michael Jackson. I get what you mean, though. But everyone expresses themselves differently :)

I feel exactly the same :(

I took my boys to the zoo the other day and they wanted to take some of Michaels cds to listen to in the car.I didn't really feel I could listen to them but didn't want to spoil them listening to them so I agreed.
When Heal The World came on that was it I just burst out crying and told my husband to switch it off.
My boys really couldn't understand what the matter was.
Hearing Michael sing about the world in his sweet voice after what the World has done to him was unbearable :cry:

The following few days after Michael passed my boys were constantly singing his songs and at one point I shouted at them because I didn't want to hear them.
I felt so bad afterwards and apologized to them and tried to explain how I was feeling and that it was ok for them to sing as Michael would love that so much.

It really is such a difficult time for everyone and everybody deals with it differently.
I would love nothing more than to put one of his cd's on and sing out loud and be happy like I used to, but at the moment I just can't :(
 
The first week or so after Michael passed I was in bits, I couldn't stop crying when I heard his songs or seen his face, it was all too much to take in. After that things started to get a wee bit better. I think it finally hit home that Michael had left us and although I was still devastated, I could listen to most of his songs without having a complete breakdown.
Since then, slowly but surely, I've moved on to celebrating his life. Not to the point were I ignore the fact he's gone, but I feel more content listening to his words and talking about him to others. There's still grief left in me, I know that. I haven't listened to Heal the world since his death (with the exception of the memorial) because I know that when I do I'm just going to go back to being upset and depressed about it.
What keeps me going is the fact that I know, where ever Michael is, he is at peace and no one can hurt him anymore.
Of course I still cry about it, I've lost on of my idols, the voice that's bern with me from my childhood, but michael wouldn't want it that way. We've got to be strong for his sake.
 
For me, it's almost he opposite. I loved his music since I was a kid and I constantly tell people that he taught me how to dance at the 4-5 range. I've been listening to his music constantly because it helps me. Then I can dance to it just because I feel the music and it allows me to get out any sadness, frustrations I'm having with family about me being down, and then anything that falls into that.
Then on the other side, if his song comes on some store shopping radio, I find it hard to listen to it since I'll start crying. For me, I think since it feels so unreal that I'm in a bit of shock yet since he was in my life for like 19 years.
If that makes sense
