On Michael Jackson
I gotta write about Michael Jackson just because I used to do the “moonwalk” when I was a young kid. My mother tells me I had no qualms doing my MJ routine back then that it’s a mystery to her why I couldn’t even dance now. Yeah, I couldn’t remember the last time I danced.
I was awake throughout the live broadcast of his memorial on CNN last Wednesday morning and was moved by the stories and messages shared. Brooke Shield’s was especially touching, describing just how beautiful friendship can be even for the stars. Usher’s “Gone Too Soon” was perhaps the most beautiful performance, but nothing beats how heartfelt Jermaine’s (Michael’s brother, also part of the Jackson 5) rendition of Michael’s favorite “Smile.”
Many of us have taken Michael Jackson for granted especially in the last decade as he somehow transcended the strange to weird line, but you can’t deny the influence of his music. It’s sad to see an entertainment icon go.
I guess it would be nice to share with you a cover of “Man in the Mirror” my band recorded some years ago.

hahay. lami inom by.
Lami gyud. Muanha lang nya pud ko, hehehe.
You did the “moonwalk?” Awesome! Ang tanda mo na pala, haha! Just kidding.
Yeah, MJ earned a billion fans, racial agnostic. He was the first black artist to have blended rock and soul and conquered the white-dominated MTV.
Hats off to MJ. You will be missed.
Matanda na talaga ako! Hahaha. Yeah, he made music like skin color didn’t matter, he just made people listen, and dance. Too bad he had to go without his swan song of a tour…
ang ganda naman ng version nyo, yan ba yung HS banda?
Thanks! :) Yes, this is Pop Ratio with Jonas, Jansen, Carlo & Don. We didn’t have that name though back in Pisay. It was recorded around 2005, nung reminiscing mode kami, hehehe.
pakita nga ng moonwalk! :p
Yeah, Michael made a big big mark in music history.
Sabi nga ni Ms. Lui, yung accountant sa office, yung anak nya ngayon lang
naging hooked kay MJ, after hearing his songs being played more as a
tribute to his demise.
Ayoko mag–moonwalk, baka pagtawanan mo lang ako… :P
Nasan na nga pala ang libreng CD ng Pop Ratio na dapat ipapamigay nung launch? :P
Digital distribution na kami ngayon. :P
O sige, pa-email na lang. Para kunyari may fans kayo. Hehe :P
May fans naman talaga kami ah! :P
all of my friends are Michael Jackson fans, we would really miss the King of Pop.
Yeah right. Spammer.
ang weirdo mo markku, pinapatulan mo spammers :P
Manual spam yun, so pwede na siguro patulan. Nakakainis eh. Hehehe.
i could say that Michael Jackson is a living legend when it comes to pop music. he would be surely missed by most of us.
Okay.
| Michael Jackson is truly the King of Pop. i am a die hard fan of him and we are going to miss him now that he is gone.
i am already a great fan of Michael Jackson ever since i was just a little kid. i would really miss the King of Pop.
