Neeli-BlogsMJ - Michael Jackson Final Curtain
October 31st 2009 08:05
Michael Jackson for me was the biggest start, the biggest sensation to have stepped on this earth. His popularity and fame was not comparable. I personally like him more for his dancing skills than his singing.
Michael Jackson was always so much larger than life.
His music was at the heart of it all but the videos, the costumes, the live shows, the legends about his sprawling home and immeasurable wealth -- all of it fuelled the public's interest in him and his fans' devotion to him.
Sure the darker allegations, coupled with bizarre public appearances and questionable personal life choices had helped his slide into relative obscurity, but it was never likely that Michael Jackson would be totally forgotten.
There is no curiosity quite like morbid curiosity so it is inevitable that the death of a famous entertainer would spur renewed interest in his or her back catalogue. What sits a little less easy with me, in this case, is how quickly this material has been repurposed as a treat for MJ fans and connoisseurs. The man hasn't been dead that long.
