While I was on the car today, a shocking news passed out from the radio: MJ was dead. Who? Michael Jackson!!! One of the pioneer of modern music was now dead. This shocked a lot of the world's population. My biggest condolences.
IMO, it's MJ himself who brought him into such tragedy. He led himself to the very dark way of life due to the enourmous stress he had to handle. That's the downside of being extremely popular.
And the people just don't know how to appreciate before something's gone isn't it? Nobody really crave for MJ when he's still alive, and when now he's dead, his name appeared all around the newspapers, televisions, websites and on the top list of Youtube and downloads... Well, that's the human's nature.
And here's the MV of MJ which made the biggest impression to me. Enjoy.
Earth Song
RIP, our legend - Michael Jackson.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artistand entertainer. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop"[2] in subsequent years, his 1982Thriller is the world's best-selling record of all time[3] and four other solo studio albums are also among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) andHIStory (1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-Americanentertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videosairing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era. Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. He died unexpectedly at 2:26 pm[4] on June 25, 2009, aged 50. The specific cause of death has yet to be determined.[2]
