On MJ the musical.
When the music started, I couldn’t stop crying.
Since I was a college student back in China I started saving money for his concert if there ever will be one. No matter where it will be held, no matter how expensive it will be I will definitely go. But unfortunately it was never realized before he left us forever.
Michael Jackson, the name that carries the most unforgettable memories of my young age. He is the only idol that I ever have and the only person that I ever obsessed with, crazy about and mesmerized by. He is not a mortal human being. He is GOD. He is not comparable at all times and in all over the world ever.
Back in my college years, I imitated him like crazy. I tried to imitate every single tune and sound in his songs and every detailed movement in his dances perfectly. My first ever hair perm in my whole life was even to copy his style. Every single album’s cassette, CD, VCD, DVD version must be bought two sets one of which is for listening and the other is for treasuring up. Loved them like life.
I practiced singing and dancing whenever and wherever I can even though it’s very hard to find a place that no one is around in school. I found a music teacher from other music school to teach me how to sing professionally and even tried to record my own demo on my own living expense savings as a student. I even tried to write letters to Michael but was returned for undeliverable address or even make some international calls to some number that I found on Magazines which I thought it might be Michael’s.
People thought I was crazy. Yes I was, wasn’t I? Isn’t that what a passionate young people with a dream and love do?
I never regret about that.
That’s a big part of my life.
The only regret is that I’ve never been able to see Michael in person.
This musical is kind of making up for the regret.
Michael, You never left us. You live with us forever. I love you forever.
