In remembrance of Michael Jackson


Exactly 358 days back in a morning one of my friends phoned me & said "dude, MJ has passed away". I immediately checked the date to see whether it was April 1st. but no, it was 25th of June. then i again asked & he seemed to be very serious. next thing i did was obviously, logged in to net. Gosh it was true. I couldnt believe my eyes & ears. even though all the news were about the death of a great legend i was in a denial state. i still wished that it was a false news . i kept on thinking that i would get to hear that he survived from that drug overdose. but that news never reached my ears.....truly it was sooooo hard to accept. it took me many days to realize that he is no more there.
Since my small age i was a big fan of MJ. in the age of VCR i managed to find MJ Video cassettes & secretly watched them at home. My parents were very strict on us. so had to watch them in low profile. I shared them with my other friends. he was a very big person in my life. i never believed the allegations he was charged with. i had the passion to listen his music all the time. Now he is no more. He is gone too soon. a legend that could have lived many years to come. though he is not in this world he will be forever remembered & will live in our hearts.
will share some nice photos i have found in the net.
RIP MJ, the King of POP...


Young Michael burst on the scene at age of 11 as a member of the Jackson 5.

Michael (far left) and his brothers rocked some serious fros in the '70s as they dominated the Billboard charts with hit singles such as "ABC" and "I'll Be There."

By the time he was in his late teens, Michael was an international heartthrob and about to embark on one of the most successful solo music careers in history.


In addition to Macaulay Culkin and Corey Feldman, Jackson was pals with pint-sized "Webster" star, Emmanuel Lewis.

By the late '80s, Michael had undergone a drastic physical transformation and introduced one of his trademark accessories - the colored armband. For a decade of chart-toppers, Michael was given the Special Award of Achievement at the American Music Awards.

Michael and his fellow icon Madonna stole the spotlight at the 63rd Annual Academy Awards.


Michael's little sister, Janet, followed in her big bro's footsteps and became a superstar in her own right.


At the 1995 MTV VMAs, Michael was joined by Slash for a medley of "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough," and "Black or White."


Not only was Michael an immensely talented singer, he was also one of the greatest dancer's to hit the stage. We're sure Britney Spears picked up some of her moves by watching his classic videos.
There's no doubt about it. Michael has influenced nearly every pop act that has emerged in the past 30 years, including 'N SYNC.

Michael proved he still had "it" at his 30th Anniversary Celebration in 2001 alongside longtime fan Chris Tucker.


The King of Pop and the Godfather of Soul revolutionized not only RnB but the entire music industry.


Despite a rocky relationship, Michael and his father, Joe Jackson, remained relatively close.

In addition to his 13 Grammy wins, Jackson received 15 World Music Awards, more than any other male artist.





May him RIP.
Miss you MJ.......
