I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... i was fascinated by him from all the stories i heard about him from my family and also the magazines which i read.

When i was young i only knew the rumours about his skin that he didn't want to be black.But to be honest deep down i didnt want to believe them cos to me he didnt seem that kind of person who would hate himself enough to change his skin.Also i knew him to be a great dancer (but had never seen him dancing) cos for most people back in Africa they know Michael as a best dancer in the world so i just grew up believing it.

Anywaz when i moved to Europe and was exposed to different types of music i began learning bits and pieces of him.It was hard to tell which was true and not cos to me most of it really seemed negative.I was now mature enough to see and jugde for myself.i began listening to his music a bit more and actually loved it but what worried me were the things i would read about him.To me those things didnt match with the person who i saw on tv.The Michael Jackson i saw in pictures,videos and on tv didnt fit with all the nasty stories.

He seemed a nice,gentle,humble,kind and caring person.I just fell in love with him,the whole package lol.His VOICE when hes not singing lol OMG!! u gota love it its just sweet.( it taught me something about him also cos you can learn a lot abt the person just from their voice) He seemed shy and down to earth which i liked.Then there's the laugh OH someone PINCH me plz loloool His laugh was like the best thing ever it makes me giggly and high just the sound of it,its one of the lovliest sounds ever....i was already a fan by the time he finished talkin and laughin haha!

Then i saw his fans OMG!!! i never seen someone so loved like MJ.The fans go crazy where MJ is concerned,the way they reacted to him was just so mind blowing especially at concerts.No offence but i realised that the person who said MJ had crazy fans was right cos boy ppl would be screaming,shouting,crying and fainting just for Michael Jackson.I saw that when i was watching some vids of him in concerts.I felt like one of the fans lol cos i went crazy as well cos it was magic.Then there is the LOVE had for his fans,that just totaly blew me away,he would give them hugs and kisses lol ( luckiest gals are those who ever got hugged or kissed by the KING OF POP).He loved his fans like no other living or dead artist....he wld let them come to him and give them hugs and sign autographs and accept their gifts which they gave him politely.His performances OH LORD!! i cant find the words.After that i was already a full fledged MJ fan and really wanted to see him perform and to meet him cos i was in love with him and became defensive of him from all the negative stuff.

His music is like wow,it touches your heart and soul and you just wana dance.When im feeling down i listen to his songs or watch his videos...it makes me feel better.
When im bored and lonely at college on weekends with nothing to do id lock my room put volume on full blast and start off with " The way you make me feel " preparing my body to be rocked next by " you rock my world" and others wld follow till im tired.When im sleepy i would lower down the volume and play soothing melodies like "speechless" and "you are not alone" which wld help me drift to sleep.

My love for him just grew each time i saw his face that sometimes id feel like bursting,id die just to get a hug froom him.One of the best things i liked about him is his love for his fans and he alwaz told them he loved them from the bottom of his heart and i believe him cos his love just shined thru to all the fans.Also not only do i love him for his music and dance but i love him for himself,hes gentle humble,kind loving soul.The love he had for everyone and the work he did to try and make the world a better place for everyone,his generosity wow i just feel so much love for this man and im happy and proud to have loved and became his fan before he died.

He has inspired me to make a change...first to myself then to others cos you cant make a change before you yourself changes.I really listened to the song " man in the mirror" after the Memorial and i gota say it has a strong msg, i realized that just after the memorial cos before i used to just listen to the song itself and not listen to the msg behind the song but now i listen to the message of the song each day.

Im gona honour him and make a difference

I LOVE u Michael Jackson and thank you for the wonderful gift you left us and plz look out for us and your loved ones....save a seat for me and other fans in heaven lol
