MJ.

This will be about Michael Jackson and some examples of other artist that I also love; I don't think it's remotely fair to compare Michael Jackson to any other singer and that is just my opinion because he is just unique. Disclaimer I am not talking about Michael as a person, am talking about the artist that he was because I never knew him personally to know who he really was but I love his art. I love music very much and I can't go one day without going on Spotify or any other music app because to me music is the biggest art form ever to exist. Michael is the only artist to me who is not overrated at all, he was one of the best musician and entertainer to ever walk this earth and I say this with complete honesty without praising the guy because he is not God. 

The year that I was born Michael was dropping hits; he was not at his prime but he was definitely the best, wait maybe he was at his prime but to me Michael at his prime was in the 1980's and I wish I was there to witness his hits on national television but either way I am happy that I grew up listening to him.  Before I knew what music was I wasn't aware of his greatness but as I became older I really started paying attention especially after his death in 2009 I was in 6th grade I think and I was watching his old concert on tv every single day; I even cried because he was that good in all of his concerts. I get very emotional especially when something is really good! so basically I shed a lot of tears for him. I was mourning his loss without knowing and I remember saying I wish I was paying more attention to realize how good he really was. I am not even going to get into the whole colorism issue because I never cared about his skin color, his art was bigger than everything else happening. I don't care about what people said because I never wanted to be invested in all of that I would listen to his songs, watch his concert and call it a day. I don't care about who he was dating, his sexual orientation, who he got married to all of that is his private life. 

I finally understand it now as I want to publish books and things like that; I imagine myself working on a book for 4 years, losing sleep and having my editor sending back 10 pages of rewrite because English is not my first language so of course my first edition will be hard... but with all of this struggle and to finally end up in the bestsellers list and to have an interviewer asking me who am I dating ?! like what? what about my book and all the struggle I went through to make it happen. Side note I am always learning to be a better writer in the English language which is why I read a lot. I grew up learning and speaking French at school which is why writing in French has always been easier than writing in English but I took a break from French just so I can get better at writing  English because practice make perfect. Anyway,  Michael's personal life was always in the face of the media when they should have concentrated on his music instead of his skin color, his voice or his dating life... I love watching him live because he is very talented. He didn't have to curse or do anything degrading for people to appreciate his music because he was just talented. I will definitely introduce my kid to the ABC song if I have any kids in the future because his voice was so angelic in that song!

I also like Billie Eillish as a new artist and her music usually take me to a very emotional state which is why I don't listen to her a lot unless I am already sad but I mean it's not helping because I will start crying especially when I listen to her song before I go. She is talented as well but nowhere near Mj and I don't think she is trying to be him either; some people are criticizing her latest album happier than ever  because I guess she sounds a tiny bit happier but she should be happy!. I don't understand why some people love other people's misery. I find her latest album to be inspiring and a bit mature than her old albums, she is growing up and so is her music. I also love Elvis Presley because of his big and harmonious voice...he was talented as well. I love those old musicians because their music eludes love in the purest form, a great message and no curse words!
