there is little i can say about the late great Michael Jackson that has not already been said far more eloquently. the memorial service at the Staples Center in LA has just finished and it was a beautiful and moving tribute to Michael. celebrities, musicians, family and fans found themselves united in their grief, their need for closure and celebration. we were all equal today. we were all mourners.
whatever allegations and accusations surrounded his tragic life, his artistry and generosity transcended all negativity. he changed the world of music and opened doors for people of colour. in sharing his talent with us, he broke down walls and united us through his art. no corner of the Earth was left untouched by his genius and we will never see one like him again.
today, all of the rumours, the eccentricities, the doubts and the criticisms fell away. we were left with an empty spotlight and a gold casket adorned with roses.
he was a prodigy and an artist.
he was a son, a brother, and a father.
from one EmJay to another, thank you for sharing your gift. i'm sorry for how we invaded your life and stole any chance of serenity you may have had. now, finally, may you rest in peace.
