Michael was a true star in all sense, i remember to have danced first time in my life on his music only, i had all his albums when i was 11 in cassettes, he has contributed a lot to the music history. no matter what the controversies surrounded him, he will be my true hero for pop music. He was a "smooth criminal" like a" billy jean" who can "beat it" to those "who don't really care about us"

Paula Taylor...y our highly imaginative speculative hypothetical statement about the king of pop shows how you leech off the insecurity of others. keep those personal comments in your diary and take two steps forward and fall on your own face.
