We saw him morph into a modern-day song-and-dance man, so light on his feet he seemed to be moving on air.
We danced to his beat until he began to change and we weren't sure what to make of it.
Then we witnessed his long, strange fall from grace.
He didn't seem able to live in the world. That does not exempt him from anything he did that was a horrible thing. But at the same time, I think we feel uncomfortable even thinking about that aspect of Michael Jackson because there is a sense of like, Did we do this to him? Did we damn him to this fate?
The world will never forget the day that THE KING OF POP died.
Jackson's legacy will not be the freak show, but the music he made at the height of his powers. And what will remain in people's minds, long after memories of his sad fall have vanished, is how thrilling he was as a performer in his effervescent pomp.
Jackson touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the planet with his talent. His music reached across national borders and between generations.
I will never forget the day that I watched the spectacular THRILLER video from my native Peru.That was the day that I decided to be a music video director. That dream is still alive and while I work in the achievement of this ,my significant goal, I celebrate your remarkable and immortal legacy. Long live the King!
Time to countdown...
