This was the greatest and hardest video I have ever created because I felt it necessary and my duty as more than a fan to do this. People say “Oh I can forgive Jacko being wacko because he was a great entertainer.” But they don’t bother to understand him, or they do a half ass job of it now, without knowing that everything he did for children, charity, and his face, was because he “never felt loved.” This doesn’t excuse questionable behavior, but rather sheds light on the tragic yet beautiful life of the person behind the greatest entertainer of all time, so that we may learn from what has happened. - Keaston, creator of the video below.

{ Thanks to my friend Reflections On The Dance for discovering this video. Also, I must mention that Michael Jackson HATED being called “Jacko” – this was very hurtful to him and IMO, very disrespectful. As the video creator says, people didn’t even bother to try to understand Michael and the unique and very painful life he led, from the time he was a very small child. And the media, eager to feed this ignorance and laziness for their own profit, only perpetuated the myths about Michael Jackson. SHAME on the medialoid / tabloid junkies and SHAME on the medialoid press who only serve to perpetuate such ignorant judgementalism in our society. -Seven }

I have been a lifetime fan of Michaels. I remember hearing “rockin robin” at a very young age and was hooked from the start. As I grew older and his music began to change, I came to know more about the man that made the magic. I learned that he was a sensitive and caring man and that he had nothing but love for everyone. I couldn’t get enough information about him, everything kept me wanting to know him better. I grew into a teenager and his music was in full bloom just as I entered high school, he made every dance in that dusty old gym very memorable. I used to fall asleep staring at his picture on my wall and dreaming of what I would say should I ever be blessed enough to meet him. I was never so fortunate as to have had that honor, but I know exactly what I would say to him. I would first let him know that I loved the man he was and that his music was just a bonus. I would have let him know that I too understand how you can feel so alone even in a crowd. I would ask him for his friendship and would be the best friend he so deserved. I would let him know that. I would never judge him in any other way but that I had formed my own opinion and no one elses views had any impact on my feelings for him. I loved him first for his music but I kept loving him for the wonderful man he was. I never had the pleasure of having seen him in concert and I never got to meet him face to face, but in my heart I feel truly connected to him and I understand how wonderful he really was. I always held out hope that I could one day at least get to see a live concert, but someone took him away from us. His legacy will continue with his charitable acts and his children. My hope is that his children gain strength through all of this and grow to be the same kind hearted and loving people that their father was. I hope that they know how much he meant to us. He was all about L.O.V.E for everyone, we should all pay it forward and love even our enemies.
