How would you remember Michel Jackson? / myLot

We all know Michel Jackson was an entertainer par excellence, yet he has been more in news for other things than his superb music and dancing. He has been in news for changing the colour of his skin and for child abuse and for the money he lost rather than the money he made. For me he would always be a complete entertainer. A man who got no equal when it is time for music and dancing combined. How about you?

I will remember Micheal Jackson. He was one of the first music artists that I listened to when I was almost a teenager. Then I still think about and wonder about the child abuse news.

I was a dance teacher during the height of Michael's career and used his music for choreography many times. I will remember his unique dancing and how he changed the music industry by dominating it for as long as he did. He sacrificed having a "normal" life by sharing his gift with the world and his music will live on forever. I will try and not think about the abuse charges because child molesters sicken me and instead will focus on how gifted he was.

Thanks nuttymomma for the response and yes he was a very very gifted musician and dancer and his moon walk is something which would surely be missed by the generation who would be coming up next. It is so easy to focus on anyone's fault and ignore his accomplishments which is really very sad.

Hi agrim94! Yes, his passing was such a shock! He was a good entertainer. That's the way I remember him. He was so cute when he was little! I was a teenager when he and his brothers were popular as The Jackson Five. Kathy.

Hi kathy, Thanks for the response and i would remember him as a complete entertainer and thats how i can remember him only.. a great musician and a unparalleled western dancer. No controversy he was surrounded with matters and only his work would speak from now and for ever.
