I never knew that! That's lovely!Joking aside, some of Michael's fans used to have a World Cry day where they played 'Cry' and mourned Michael's passing. I think it only ran for a few years and then fizzled out.
I have no idea why I felt the need to post this. But I did.
For at least 25 years now it's been fashionable to celebrate someone's life when they die rather than sinking into mourning. People do this in their personal life, not just with celebrities. There is nothing wrong with it but it can feel almost tyrannical. As if you are not supposed to ever have sad feelings. Or, if you do, then deal with them at home, in private, but don't bring them to the funeral / memorial service / gathering. That's unfair to people who would like to express their natural feelings of sorrow at someone's passing. Tears and grief are natural human responses and it's perfectly reasonable for people to want to create a space in which to let those feelings out.
As it should, I find it embarrassing. Unless they aren’t actually crying then it’s ok. I’m a macho man, I don’t cry, only when I remove fresh bullets with my bare hands I start sweating a bit, that’s it. It is me forcing the tears to leave my body through my skin.
I watched a couple of the YT videos, I didn't find them embarrassing. I thought they were rather charming. That said, they seem to have disappeared. The ones that are there now - which I didn't see several years ago - are very different to the ones I'm talking about.
You are bonkers, lol.
Repeat it, i’ll be the judge
oh, I remember it. I didn't understand it, sorry!
bro.
EVERYONE cries! I'm sure you cried!I’m just going to play along. Michael would not be able to recapture the joy and energy of his voice when recording the original farewell my summer love songs again. The youthness (this is not a word, my vocab is too limited but you know what I mean) of that album is the vital component of its success, older Michael lost that spark
It was meant as a joke but then it somehow became a real thing
