VMAS-Michael Jackson Tribute

While writing about the latest VMA's, I almost forgot to mention the most important part: It was ALL ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON. From the speeches of Madonna, to the performances of his various songs, to the special performance by Janet Jackson, it seemed the VMA's had a second motive: to promote and celebrate the life of Michael Jackson. While I'll admit, some of his hit songs were pretty good and the guy was an outrageously good dancer with really unique moves, I feel like the title "King of Pop" doesn't necessarily fit him. For one, he isn't the King of Pop because not all of his songs were pop. Back in the day, the Jackson Five wrote many songs, even Christmas ones. Secondly, people seem to forget the fact that he was accused of child molestation, he's not the real father of his kids, he bleached his skin, he dangled a baby over a high balcony, did drugs (even high at a press conference) and he quite possibly had sexual relations with men?? Does no one seem to care?!? His death was due to the fact that he overdosed on prescription drugs. The whole ordeal blew up and now people are trying to pay tribute to a man of his stature? Unbelievable. I think Michael was better when he was a kid. His voice was amazing and he had a golden heart, plus his four other brothers made the Jackson Five a total success. But as he got older, he only became worse. Sure, we can celebrate the fact that he lived life, more or less appropriately. The fact of the matter is he's gone: Let's mourn and be done with it. After all, life will go on.
