Ok i need to get this off my chest.
Our idol passed away, and we mourned.... but then
we complained.
we complained and criticised plans over his funeral and memorial. we then complained about tickets & ticket refunds, we then complained that the memorial was in the us. we then complained when rehearsal footage was released and he appeared to lip sync.
we then became excited when we found out that footage was being released, we then complained that we had to wait for it. we then rejoiced when we heard it was going to be a movie about his final months. And then we complained that it was only out for 2 weeks and even complained more when we had the chance to prebook !
we criticise and tarnish almost every celebrity that speaks of Michael from Oprah, Madonna even to President Obama and Jesse Jackson. They want to show their respect and we should respect them for it. we should feel so proud to have people speaking about him and remembering for who he is and will always be...a hero.
And then..... a new album of hits from the This Is It movie and we complain again !. a soundtrack to accompany the movie ,which although is for the fans, is mainstream aswell targeting all market including a new track ' This Is It'.
And yet we are still not satisfied ? already there are almost 30 posts on here deconstructing, arguing, criticising and moaning about a 43 second clip !
Michael is not here, but for me personally if he was ( and i want to re-establish i am not attacking anyone on here ). I think he would feel abandoned by the people he loved. We should feel so honoured that He is still here, that he is being forever mortalised not just through media, but in everyones hearts. That through his death he has reached out once again, risen as a phoenix to take his crown.
For me, all ive felt in the last months is pride. I am a proud Michael Jackson fan and i am so happy to see the love everywhere for him. I am the one that can say, i was there from the beginning and i had him. Film, CD and a new song, a song which to me is a perfect and fitting end to such a sad year, a beautiful track with touching lyrics that i can see Michael looking down and smiling towards.
And we know in the future, there is still much more to come from him.
I know there are millions of fans out there who feel as passionate about me. Any MJ media is great ..... but its really starting to put me down now about all the negativity, hate and criticism on the boards.... im not used to seeing this from 'fans'.
In fact, i probably will recieve a negative response about what ive said instead of an adult constructive one, which pretty much also establishes what im trying to say.
If there is ever a time when we have to be together, stand united for Michael, his family and his children, then it is now and i for one will ensure that i do that.
But for some of you out there, you really need to step back and remember.
