If a musical career spanning over 30 years with some of the greatest songs ever written and produced aren’t enough to move you to legendary status, nothing will!
We are talking about the songs that Jackson produced over his muscial career and how some of those well loved songs that have spanned generations will forever be playing on cd’s and radio’s alike.
But what is the BEST song of Jackson’s career?
Is it ‘Billy Jean’? Is it ‘Thriller’, which is the same name as the highest selling record of all time? Or is is ‘ABC’ that Michael sang as a youngster before his bizzare and unusual life began?
Whatever it is that you think is the BEST, is probably the BEST. They are all number one smash hits that are not left in the past, but have come forward with us as we all grow.
Generations are born and they too are listening to the music of Michael Jackson.
Some of the next generation of children who will only know of Michael as someone who passed away will will be bopping away to his music in their living rooms as we all once did.
This is the story of an amazing musician with a talent to entertain the world.

It appears that Lady Gaga has a ‘mini me’ in the making!
Terra Jole, who’s been dressing up as GaGa and performing her hits on stage in Las Vegas has become quite the hit over there. The dwarf sized chick with a new found fame has told the LA Times, “ “In the environment I perform in I hear a lot of Gaga’s music and I just find it so entertaining and powerful that I thought why not try it and see how it works out, tons of drag queens are doing Lady Gaga and so I figured why not do a miniature version.”
This should come as an impressive sign of the times for the popular Gaga knowing that her signature hair and clothes are becoming more and more well known around the globe by fans and those who adore her. What a big compliment to have people copying your style and singing your songs in bars and clubs around the world!
Doesn’t get much more better than that!

As the world mourns the loss of legendary icon Michael Jackson, it also mourns the loss of a sex symbol of her time, Farrah Fawcett.
The 62 year old star lost her battle with cancer in the St Johns Health Centre in Santa Monica with her partner Ryan O’Neal by her side.
“After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away,” O’Neal said. “Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.”
Farrah who has a long acting career will be best remembered for her role as one third of the trio in the 1976 version of Charlie’s Angels. With her long touseled blonde curls and that killer body that was so admired by woman all over the world, she became a house-hold name around the globe.
And there is of course that smile! She was well known for her huge bright smile. Always smiling any time, no matter what pressures she was under at the time.

Australia woke this morning to the news that our legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson passed away aged 50.
Jackson was brought into UCLA Medical Centre where he was resusciated for over an hour before being pronounced dead to his close associates and family (7:26am AEST). A large crowd gathered outside the Medical Centre waiting for information about Jackson’s health as news spread that he was admitted to hospital with respitory problems, later being confirmed that it was in fact a heart attack.
Michael Jackson’s brother, Jermaine Jackson gave a press confrence shortly after and tried to remain as composed as he could saying, “My brother, the King of Pop Michael Jackson, is believed to have suffered cardiac arrest but the formal cause of death will not be known until his autopsy,” Jackson said.
“[Michael’s] personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate my brother. As did the paramedics who transported him to Ronald Reagan UCLA medical centre,” Jackson said.
“Upon arriving at the hospital, at approximately 1.14pm (6.14am AEST), a team of doctors including emergency physicians and cardiologists attempted to resuscitate him. For periods of more than one hour. They were unsuccessful,” he said.
Jermaine went on to ask the public and the media to respect his families privacy during this tough time. The speech he gave was simple, composed and allowed the world to know what had happened to their icon.
Jackson is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
There is and will be an enormous outpouring of grief the world wide as celebrities and everyday people come to grips with the reality that our much loved King of Pop has actually gone. Michael was two weeks shy of his comeback tour starting in London and the fans who were set to attend his high intensity shows will be devastated that their icon is no longer with us.
His 50 shows were a sell out in a matter of minutes when they went on sale earlier this year.
There are moments in time when someone who has impacted the world in a massive way passes, and it’s those times we remember ‘where we were when we heard’ and ‘how we felt when we heard’ the terrible news.
John Lennon, Elvis Presley and the iconic Princess Diana were all moments like this.
And it’s those irreplacable marvels that we grieve for.
RIP Michael Jackson.
