This is going to be about Michael Jackson. This is not something I would normally do but sort of wanted to.
I'm not going to make out that Michael was a saint. I'm not going to say he was the greatest man that ever lived. I didn't know Michael Jackson. But what I do believe is that his heart was in the right place. He may or may not have got it wrong. But I don't believe for a second that he was a malicious person. And I don't think anybody on this earth has the right to judge him. Only God can judge us.
I'm just watching the end part of the tribute on TV, and I have to say, the whole thing is making me a bit uncomfortable. The fact that his coffin is there freaks me out a bit. But it's more what people are saying. The music has been great and some of the speeches have been great - the ones that are personal memories. But a few have been SO political and I just think, you know what, this is not the time or place. There's just been a congress woman on, who I don't know, but she was reeally aggressive in the way she spoke. I think that's my main issue. That people are coming across so aggressive and wittering on about racism and rights and even the court case. I just think, surely this should be about Michael, it shouldn't have any other agenda. I don't know, I might just be a bit mad. But I think about ANY memorial for ANYONE, that it should be about that person. It shouldn't be about anything else at all.
So, the top and bottom is... I don't know a whole lot about Michael Jackson. I like his music. But I don't really know anything else about him. And neither do a lot of other people. So very few people can really say very much about him. But I do know that he was taken too young, and I do know that I wish I'd met him.
Also, on a side note, Shaheen from Britain's Got Talent has just performed, and while I think it's great that he's out there and being heard, I think it's expecting a lot of him to perform there. This is like a global event that is going to be remembered for a really long time and I think that's a lot of pressure for a kid. I have a proper issue about kids being in the spotlight. Even Michael's kids, I think it's so awful that they have to be there. I certainly wouldn't want that if I was them. But hey, what do I know? I'm probably just rabbiting on about something I have no idea about.
Love love love xxx
