I was MJfied...






I would say that I was MJfied last night.
I grew up listening to pop music, but the other genre like alternative, blues, RNB, ballad, rock and many more guided me also every day.
I remember I was dying to listen to all the songs of Britney Spears, wow she’s a goddess to me. She sings very enthusiastic and kind of hippy. I like her songs “Sometimes” and “Overprotected”. Somehow, she came into my life and taught me with many lessons from her songs. Until now, I’m craving to see her in person. I remember, I said to my classmates that when she will be having her concert here, I will make an effort just to see her, that how Britney is in my life.
Michael Jackson… the king of Pop… the greatest entertainer in the whole world, who wouldn’t recognized him? His upbeat to low tempo music, to rocking and crazy song, to heartfelt and really touchy voice, he ruled me, honestly.
A friend of mine sent me a message on my cellular phone saying that MJ is dead. At first I did not give much attention to it, for I know this s just a rumour, another rumour like Britney who were found out dead on her crashed car, or Jolina Magdangal found dead on her room or Piolo died on his bathroom. So I ignored it. But later that night, when I switch the TV on and tuned to CNN for some news, I saw a crawler saying that Michael Jackson died on an overdosed. Well, I checked again the crawler I went near to the tv scree, I read it slowly, and yes, he is dead. I was stopped for maybe five seconds. I don’t know why. Who is Michael Jackson anyway? Did he helped me in my studies did he let my life the best ever? Well, these might not the role of him, but at least he meant something to me, I don’t know what it is.
Then I watched his memorial service at the Staples Center. Wow! He is a star even he is dead. I followed his coffin being driven to that center. So many fans were waiting for him. So many, as so many fans…
Then Mariah sang the famous “I’ll be there” I am starting to get goosebumps. It was a solemn opening from her, singing in front of MJ’s coffin.
What made my tears fallen was when Usher sang “Gone to Soon”. I said to myself, “Oh no, why I’m having this feeling?” and when he touched MJ’s coffin, I can’t help but crying.
I don’t know, right now I’m enjoying listening hard, metal, and alternative music, Disturbed’s “Down with the sickness”? c’mon! But still I was touched by him, maybe this is just an evidence that no matter who you are, what music you are listening to, no matter how hard you are, you can still be soften by him… and I would say, I was really MJfied...
