This might be too long for my liking but I need to express myself...

I may be young but when I was 9, I heard Thriller for the very first time and I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, this is amazing who sings this?" Later I watched the music video and I was mesmerised by a man in red dancing incredibly with a cast of mutated zombies. I absolutely loved it! I soon found out that this amazing man was called Michael Jackson and from then onwards I was hooked.

In 2003 I bought my first Michael album: Number Ones. At the time I hadn't heard of his other work but when I came round to them and began watching his videos, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was almost too good to be true. I didn't think anyone could possibly be as incredible as he was but wow was I wrong. I remember complaining to my mum, "Why couldn't I have been born in the 80s?" since he was at the peak of his fame back then and also because I had a massive crush on him lol

It isn't just the music which makes me love Michael but also his good will and his determination to help the world and the people in need. I admired him greatly for that and personally I feel the allegations against him were complete crap. I never believed them for a second.

I would've love to have seen him live but unfortunately it was not to be Even to this day I am still thinking about him. I can't talk about this to my friends cos they wouldn't understand how much he meant to me. It is true that the good die young but Michael was taken away from us too soon and it's heatbreaking for me when thinking about it.

MichaelJackson, I will always love you! Thank you for making the world a better place through your music and your love for all! R.I.P King of Pop!

This is why I am a fan.
