Of course the ever popular "Give Love on Christmas Day",every kids' theme song come Christmas season.Since this is a Baguio themed forum,I remember hearing the song "Happy" around 3 decades ago while walking down Session road(hmmm sweet memories as a kid).Well,I admired MJ for his VOICE and dancing skills.His appearance didn't really bother me that much.It was talent over looks.A music icon was lost and no one I know of can replicate what he had contributed to the music industry and to our everyday lives.Thanks for the tribute Lisa :) My first exposure to MJ?

I suppose I was in shock at the news and when I wrote this post -- until I heard Michael Jackson's music being played over and over, saw music video clips on TV, saw him as the adorable prodigy of Jackson 5 that I remember, through Off the Wall, then Thriller. Farrah was beautiful till she died, of course, but we would have accepted an elegant 82-year old fine-boned Farrah. I console myself by thinking it was just the right time for Michael, too, as he was a young-looking 50 year old so we'll always remember him young. Might've been sad to have images of a 70-year old King of Pop 20 years from now. But boy, will the world ever get a voice like that again? Hiya Resty, Albert and Hans,

He was a music beat himself. He gave to many the energy and soul to be inspired to the freedom of his great entertainment. He will always be a music icon to many and to me. There will never be another Michael Jackson. He is an inspiration. People tried to use him. People tried to destroy many times because of greed and envy. But a true artist like MJ will always be lingered as a great one. He is massive. I say it is very untimely of his passing... i really mean that.

EVERYONE wore those. Can't do the moonwalk without them. She's Out Of My Life is a personal favorite. The man might be gone but he will live forever in the music that will always be part of our lifes soundtrack ... Don’t forget Penny Loafers. EVERYONE wore those. Can’t do the moonwalk without them.
