As everyone might know, Michael Jackson had died at the age of 50 due to a cardiac arrest. I was super disappointed he died of a cardiac arrest, but anyway, what's fated is bound to happen right? By the way, cardiac arrest is when your heart was shock and therefore can't beat properly. In Michael Jackson's case, it was due to heart attack.
With a life full of popularity when he started his debut at 11, he was known to be excellent at singing and dancing. The signature Moonwalk made everyone awed by his ability. However, his talents and achievements are not what people acknowledge and is not what I want to bring up.
He was known to be a paedophile for molesting boys. However, he was not charged for the lack of evidence, not because of bail. All my life, I was told he escaped all of this because he was bailed out, but that was not the case. He did not sacrifice millions of dollars trying to get out of jail, instead he spent millions of dollars donating to 39 charities, more than any celebrity, ever.
The reason why he turned white was because of 2 diseases called vitiligo and lupus that made him paler by the day. Therefore, he had to even out his skin colour so that he won't look like an alien from Mars. Those 2 diseases are reasons why he is sensitive to sunlight, not because of bleaching so that he can turn white.
When I think of him now, my eyes get all teary because he was a man of talent. He had so much in him and because he was to talented and nice, people use it for money and for profit. I have no right to say whatever they reported were wrong, I don't have evidence to why he dangled his youngest son out of the balcony(by the way, it was not even a second). I am not a big fan of him and I hardly know him."Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,' people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.' "
—Michael Jackson
But I find it ridiculous to blame him all this time. And now, when he died, people are realising, 'hey, he's no so bad after all'. After his 50 years of life, people were 'he wasn't a paedophile, he was nice'. And I felt so sad for him. Because he was accused of so many things in his life, and only after his life was he really appreciated. Only after his death did people really see the damn truth that he was trying to show all along.
I was not a fan of his, but I felt all of this blaming was wrong. Al-Qaeda were accused of killing thousands of people but I believe MJ's life was hell worse than Osama's. I believe being accused of killing and getting a death sentence for what you really did is really better than getting accused of what you did not do, being called someone you're not your whole life. his whole life. He was a person, he has a bad side and a good side. But, until now, I still have not seen something so bad from him for him to have such a terrible life.
