Why MJ has been so inspirational to me..
Michael Jackson has been a true role model for me over the years. Everything about him...not only his music and dancing, but the person that he is, a kind, loving man who has tried to make change in the world with the wonderful talent he has. Ever since I was a toddler, I have loved Michael Jackson's music. He has been such a figure of inspiration to me over the years, and through his music, he has helped me to get through the bad times, and helped me enjoy the good times. When I was about five or six, my mum sat me down and let me watch the "Thriller" music video. Before she put it on, she said, "Now, if you get scared, let me know, and I'll take it off, OK?" "OK," I said. As I was watching the video, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I mean, I'd never seen anything like it! Here was this marvellous man, turning into a werewolf, a zombie, and dancing in the street with a bunch of rather odd-looking zombies. I wasn't scared one little bit, just amazed. The setting was dark, and here was this one man, vibrant in a bright red outfit, dancing like I've never seen anyone dance before. He was so quick, so smooth, and he seemed to light up the screen. The music...his voice...he was just amazing. Afterwards, I knew one thing. This was the man that I was going to love for the rest of my days. As I got older, I started singing, and dancing, and developed a passion for music. I love a variety of music and artists, (Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, etc), but as soon as I hear Michael Jackson's music, I'm there, dancing away, and singing at the top of my lungs, a huge smile on my face. I realize now that music is within me, and for me, it can be an escape from reality. I mean, I expect when most people listen to their favourite songs, they just go with the beat and enjoy the music, but, when I listen to my favourite songs, I listen to the backbeat of the drums, I listen to the melody of the song, the chords, and the vocals, and also the harmonies within the vocals. And as I am listening, I appreciate every note of the music. So, why has Michael Jackson and his music so important to me and why has he been such a figure of inspiration to me? Well, I sing. I love to sing, and I believe that I have a talent. Listening to and watching Michael Jackson growing up has not only helped me to learn how to use my voice, but also how to project it, and how to express emotion whilst singing, which Michael does so effortlessly. By watching him on stage, and in his amazing short films and music videos, he has showed me how to perform, and how to own the stage. From just watching Michael perform on stage, it is clear that he has complete control of the stage, and has so much stage presence. Also, he has shown me posture, and how to present yourself. When Michael dances, he is so graceful, so quick and so smooth. Every arch of his dancing body is so perfectly placed, moving with impeccable timing. He has incredible talent, he is able to express emotion not only with his voice, but also in a physical way by dancing, and when I watch him perform, to me he is a beautiful piece of art in motion. Michael Jackson truly is a wonderful mn and I believe, that if the world could only see what he can see, it would be a better place. I Love You Michael... Chrissy x x x x x x
