Those are some pretty diamonds ! :love:
Aurora Borealis Australian Crystal it's my fave :love: Blissful.

Aurora Borealis, also referred to as “Northern Lights”, are glass rhinestones that have a unique lustrous coating, illuminating a variety of colors. Aurora Borealis specifically refers to the paper-thin metallic coating that is dispersed onto crystals or glass beads, producing a gorgeous dazzling shine.

1956: Daniel Swarovski's grandson, Manfred, introduces the Aurora Borealis: an iridescent coating applied to crystal rhinestones that produces a rainbow effect. In collaboration with French fashion designer Christian Dior, the stone is launched into the fashion spotlight, cementing a new era in both industries.

I told your once before about a show where fans copy their idols. Well, today's episode with Michael was shown. In the first part, three fans sang the song Bad. Two of them were in other characters. And one of them was Bad, he's from India but is now studying with us. I immediately liked him better and he sang a bit like MJ. The judges praised the guys for their courage, because repeating Michael is an impossible task. In the next stage, a guy from India came out and sang You are not alone. I think he did well, but he didn't make it to the final, he got 2nd place out of 4. Maybe he will still have a chance because of the additional voting of the audience before the final. I liked the words that were said about Michael, all very respectful, about his contribution to the world of music, talent and humanitarian work. Bad's music made the jury dance))))))

I have been wondering....

Do you think Michael always knew he was an artist, a genuine/original creator of art? Even as a child maybe? Was he fully aware of it?

I would guess he knew early on ...

I'm pretty sure he would have been an artist, even if he grew up differently.

This is the kind of question that I think is fascinating but on which I feel incapable of having any useful thoughts, lol. I'm only 'creative' in the most basic sense, much like most of us, I would imagine. The New Age approach to this is to insist that we are ALL creative and perhaps that is true. I can certainly confidently adapt a recipe - I'm a terrible cook and I loathe doing it but I'm not completely useless. I'm 'creative' enough that I can appreciate the composition in a beautiful photograph or a fabulous piece of editing in a music video. But to my mind, that's not being creative, not really. I can write a poem but I'm sure as hell not showing it to anybody. :ROFLMAO:

All of this is my longwinded way of saying I have no idea bc I don't know what the creative mind is like. I can't imagine what thoughts go through their heads. I think this might be why I read so many interviews with writers and musicians but I don't think I'll ever really understand them.

I have mixed feelings about Michael being aware of himself as an artist. I sometimes wonder if he felt the weight of responsibility. Yes, J5 were a group, he wasn't purely a solo artist. But he was the lead singer and the focus of much (most?) of the attention. I wonder what he thought about that, how he processed that as a child?

I would guess he knew early on ...
I think so, too. He was so young when he started.

I'm pretty sure he would have been an artist, even if he grew up differently.
Something creative. Artist and / or poet are the obvious paths he could have gone down. Although, ngl, I always like the idea of him working with animals if he wasn't gonna be a creative artist.
 
I really want to show you all this, I accidentally saw the test rolls of our Olympic team. Interesting selection of music MJ, and the beginning is mine 😍😍😍😍. It was broadcast on TV and I'm glad Michael's work is reaching a wider audience in this way as well. And the girl Adelia is just great, I'm not a connoisseur but I really liked it 😍😍😍😍

That's a cool question. As I recall in one interview he said he wasn't sir conscious of his talent as a kid. He didn't understand why people reacted so strongly to him just doing what he liked, just singing. That realization came later as he got older. I have infinite respect for the way he handled his talent. Not only entertaining people, but making important messages. So ingenious in expressing society's difficult topics in song.
