MY HOMAGE TO MICHAEL JACKSON - A TRUE GENIUS

Sensuality, Sex-appeal,  Rhythm, Taste, Voice, Dancer, GENIUS.-

There simply are not enough words in the dictionary to be able to describe an ICON like Michael Jackson.- He had the music in his soul and in his blood.-

You can learn to dance, to sing, but you can not learn the GIFT that he had. He was born with it.- You can not learn 'that', not even in the best University in the world.-

He was shy, he was Gay, he was accused of molesting children (which was never proved), but when he entered the stage, when he was in front of his fans, when you saw him move the way he did, everything else seem to disappear from your mind.-

He was extremely shy, but once he stepped on the stage, he was THE KING, a transformation took place in him, -like the whole world belonged to him, and he belonged to the whole world.

His music appealed to the whole world, because he had a bit of  all parts of the world in his music.- The sensuality of the Caribbean, The Exotic of the Europeans, The Grace of a special Rock & Roll he created for the Americans.- There simply was no other like him.- There is no point in counting the many hits he sold. Everybody knows nobody, not even the Beatles could surpass him. He appealed to THE WHOLE WOLRD.-

He was a 'TRUE ARTIST' in all the sense of the WORD.- He was a SHOWMAN, he was an inventor, he was 'ART'.- His MUSIC as well as the videos he created were simply UNIQUE.-

AND YES, he was Gay.- But 'Art' has nothing to do with sexual preferences.- Michael Angelo was gay, Da-Vinci was gay, Alexander the Great was gay, Van-Gogh was gay,- and yet who dares to deny they were geniuses.- You admire the work of Art. -You do not think about sexual preferences or race.-

We all have our demons to deal with, we all have our sins.- But 'God' is the only one who can Judge us.- He is the one who made us. He is the only 'PERFECT' one., NOT US.

Some loved him, some adored him, some liked him, many hated him.-

But his music, his art, his 'genius', will remain with us for the rest of our lives.-
