Michael Jackson: First Anniversary of Death June 25

Alfred D. — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:02:55 +0000

On the first anniversary of his death at age 50, hundreds of tributes will be shown on television in Michael Jackson’s honor. Whether you believe the rumors and allegations or you don’t, whether you think he’s “Wacko Jacko” or “The King Of Pop,” one thing most people agree on is the fact that he is a legend.

Gary, Indiana is sprucing up in anticipation of the crowds that will flock to town to check out the home where the Jackson family once lived. His mother, Katherine, and his three children will be there marking the anniversary in private. A monument to Michael will be unveiled outside the house where the legendary Jackson Five began their singing career.

The cemetery in Forest Lawn, where Jackson is buried, will be open for fans to visit on Friday but the mausoleum where his body rests will remain off-limits.

MTV and numerous other TV and radio stations around the world will be airing wall-to-wall videos, retrospectives and documentaries all weekend long commemorating the star’s life and achievements.

So, in between World Cup soccer games, I’ll be watching and fondly remembering this greatest performer of all-time and marvelling at his genius. How about you?

Michael Jackson Thriller facts

Michael Jackson’s sixth studio album, Thriller , was released in 1982. It quickly shot to the top and is still considered the best-selling album of all time. The album broke records by winning eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including Album of the Year. The album has nine songs. All seven of the songs that were released as singles reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 .

Thriller was the last single released from the album, in 1984. It became one of Michael’s signature songs. Thriller’s lyrics deal with dark themes of paranoia, the occult and the supernatural. The 14-minute mini-horror flick, directed by John Landis, cost half a million US dollars to make, and it is regarded as the greatest music video of all-time. John’s wife, Deborah, designed Michael’s fierce red jacket for the video.

During the video, Michael transforms into a werewolf and then a zombie and is choreographed dancing with the zombies. The choreography has become a part of global pop culture, replicated everywhere from Bollywood scenes and even in a video from prisons in the Philippines that went viral.

The lovely Ola Ray, a former Playboy centerfold, co-stars with him in the video. Ola Ray has since complained about not being able to collect all the royalties due to her. She eventually sued for the uncollected royalties on May 6, 2009 less than two months before Michael’s death on June 25.

Since 2007, every October, a few days before Halloween, dancers in cities all over the world perform a simultaneous dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” with specially arranged choreography from the music video. The event is called “Thrill the World”. In 2008, 4,177 people from 10 countries simultaneously danced to Thriller during this event.

Here’s your chance to dress the part and join the fun for 2009. Take center stage in this

Michael Jackson— a legend and the greatest entertainer of all time!

MJFanxxxooo — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:55:01 +0000

I became a fan of Michael Jackson’s only about 10 years ago—- long after he first struck it BIG in the entertainment world. I never appreciated his many talents when he was getting his unbroken string of mega-hits. I was too busy following other entertainers and celebrities.

Once I discovered what a mind-blowing singer, dancer and performer he was, I quickly came to realize the tremendous impact that he’s had on the entertainment industry. He was not only talented, he was innovative and unusual. He did things that had never been done before and he did it from his heart and soul.

Now that he’s gone, I realize even more the indelible impression he’s left and the gaping void, as I believe he was unique and irreplaceable. Without getting into all the controversial details, I believe he was misunderstood and much maligned and most of it was undeserved. True, he had his weird eccentricities, but I feel that he was a good person who had suffered a lot since childhood. Too bad that it took his death for people all around the globe to realize the legacy he left through his music and dancing and superbly entertaining performances.

In honour of his memory and in anticipation of all the wanna-be Michael Jackson lookalikes for Halloween, this site was created to share fun facts, news and information about the undisputed King of Pop— the greatest entertainer to ever live! My belief is that Michael Jackson Halloween costumes will once again be one of the hottest sellers for Halloween 2010 and they will fly off the shelves long before the day arrives.
