(I am a bit late with this post, but the draft was lying around for quite some time… I just did’t find the words. I think that even now, I didn’t find them — but I prefer to say them, as they are, than to remain silent…)<\/em><\/p>\n

A legend was gone on June 25th 2009. Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a><\/p>\n

Some have found a good word or two, for him.<\/p>\n

Others, have drawn wallpapers<\/a>, or some drawings, to remember him…<\/p>\n

Leading medias, like CNN, dedicated special page to Michael<\/a>…<\/p>\n

The day he was gone, YouTube, Amazon and a lot of other “Top 100” websites, mentioned this on their front pages…<\/p>\n

And my words… I can’t find them. I am sad. But not because Michael won’t have concerts in London this summer, but because some geniuses have so hard life, and can’t flee from Fate<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson was rejected by many, but he will be remembered, by many.<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>Not a long ago, we watched again Moonwalker<\/a>. I forgot this movie. It’s good. <\/p>\n

It is na\u00efve, at some moments, but funny, and Michael dances incredibly, the music is good — what more a man can wish? ;-)<\/p>\n

Some scenes in it are unforgettable. “Smooth Criminal” in the Club 30’s, for example. Or the dance with the Hare:)<\/p>\n

I wrote earlier this year, that Michael will have concerts in London (Summer 2009). But Michael is no more, and CNN just released a video from one of his last rehearsals:<\/p>\n

…In my teenage years, I was big fan of his music, but even more, of his dance. There are a lot of imitators of his style. Are there better dancers than him? Yes. But Michael, he was unique, he had magnetism no other dancer maybe ever had…<\/p>\n

Moon walk? O, yes, it’s not his invention…<\/p>\n

Here are a few names, some of them I never heard before:<\/p>\n

Fred Astaire, Bill Bailey, Buck and Bubbles, Cab Calloway, Clarck Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Daniel L. Haynes, Rubberneck Holmes, Patterson & Jackson, Eleanor Powell, Bill Robinson, “Three Chefs”, “Tip, Tap and Toe”, Earl Snakehips Tucker… They are his predecessors. And here’s a historical video:<\/p>\n

But, the Moon Walk, Michael could do it like anynone else! :-)<\/p>\n

Once, I remember I saw a video, he was doing the moon walk sideways<\/em> in it! It was amazing to watch…<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson was a legend, a star, while he was alive, but now I believe he is a Star in the Sky…<\/p>\n

I can’t find the right words to express what I feel.<\/p>\n

Rest in Peace, Michael! I bow in front of you and your talent! That’s all I can say…<\/p>\n

And I hope, your soul have found Peace…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
