You Are My Life......

             Michael Jackson loved his children and he was a great father. A lot of times when I see television programs of Michael and his children, they always seem to talk about the time when Michael held blanket over the hotel balcony for a few seconds. This has been shown countless times to make Michael appear to be a bad and irresponsible father. Yet there are so many parents who throw their kids up in the air and catch them and do all sorts of other things with them and it is no big deal. Michael was holding his son tight and strong and he wasn't holding him over the balcony for as long as the media made it appear. I think of it this way, what is worse? Holding your son tightly over a balcony for a few seconds or never being in your son's life at all.

           There has also been media report's that Michael has a big ego and named his 2 sons Prince because he is the King of Pop. That is not true at all. Michael named his 2 sons after his great Grandfather named Prince Scruse. It is a name that was apart of his family long before he ever became the King of Pop, and if the media would do a little research or had simply asked him, they would know the truth. Although it wouldn't surprise me if they already knew the truth and just decided to tell the lies instead!! Michael was a very loving father. He said that he wakes up and is ready for the day because of them. He changed diapers when they were little, spent quality time with them and constantly told them that he loved them. Michael's children say that he was the best father in the world.

           Michael knows what effect having a bad childhood can have on a child, and he always tried the best he could to be a great father. Even though Michael knew that they couldn't ever have normal lives because they are his children; he said that he hoped that they wouldn't hold that against him and know that he tried to do the best that he could. It appears to me that they don't hold anything against him because they always say that they love him and miss him. In my opinion he was a better father than most because he took the time to actually be there for them. Michael said that they meant everything to him. He would take them to art museums and to the beach. He would take them on trips all over the world like to Africa and Ireland. He really showed them the world and educated them on so many different things.

           He tried his best to protect them from the media by having them home schooled and being with them when they would go out, instead of always just letting security guards take them out. The media also tries to say that it was Michael's Idea to have them walk around in public wearing masks, but it was actually his ex-wife Debbie Rowe's idea. She said she was terrified to have there faces out there and told Michael to keep their faces covered. You can hear more about that in the videos below. Michael wrote a song for his children titled "You Are My Life". That song is filled with love and really captures what Michael's children meant to him. The song is in a video below for you to hear. I also invite you all to watch all of the videos below because it will explain better how much Michael's children meant to him and how much Michael meant to his children.

I Want To Take You Higher......

            
                 One time when Michael was speaking with some of his fans, a little boy came up to him to ask a question. The boy asked " Is it true that your using female hormones to make your voice higher?" Michael said " No!! Where did you hear a story like that?" The boy said that he had heard it from some of his friends at school. We all know that Michael has been singing since he was 5 years old. Once he made it to Motown He had a vocal coach to help him work on hitting high notes, low notes and any note in between. Michael has said many times that he is a perfectionist. He would practice his singing and dancing for hours until it was just right. With all of this rehearsing and practicing, it allowed his voice to reach higher notes even as he was growing and maturing to have a naturally deeper speaking voice. The voice box is a muscle and like any muscle if you constantly are using it and flexing it; it will grow stronger!! This is exactly what happened to Michael's voice.

             I think he always had a strong voice, but just in different ways as he began to mature. I listen to a lot of his songs from the Jackson 5 days, and he hits high notes like no one else. It's amazing to listen to. One of the songs where Michael hits a lot of lower notes and high notes is in a song called " All the things you are" It is in a video below for all of you who have not heard it yet. You can clearly hear his amazing voice range, even from such a young age. As Michael got older and his voice still maintained it's pitch, the media started rumors saying that he was taking female hormones to make his voice higher. Michael has said that he doesn't even know what a female hormone pill looks like. This was definitely just another crazy rumor!! They are now saying that Justin Beiber is taking female hormones to keep his voice higher!! When will the media stop? There is a video below for you to watch that is a voice training lesson that Michael did with his voice trainer Seth Riggs, It's really great. You can hear his high range,a little of his lower range, but either way it is all  Michael's NATURAL voice.

The Song Of Earth......

              Michael was a  huge advocate of the state of this world. His song " Earth Song" speaks about a lot of environmental issues. Michael has spoke out against animals being hunted, Forrest Fires, Wars and dying children.  Michael has used his fame to bring attention to many of these issues in the world. He has said that he not only feels like his fame is an opportunity for him to spread his messages, but he also feels that it is his  duty. The world puts more interest in the other planets and tries to understand whats going on out there, when they haven’t even took the time to fully understand whats going on here on Earth. There are children dying everyday and Michael said that it pains him to see how far we have advanced technologically in this world, yet we do so little for our children. I totally agree with him. I mean there is millions of dollars being given away in the lottery to one family, but yet the government cant seem to afford to feed a hungry family, help a homeless person or get extra text books for our public schools.

         Why must the world continue to basically throw away millions and at the same time speak of how they don't have enough money to help others? Michael also spoke about Gandhi and how he wanted to gain freedom for India without using any weapons. I think it's terrible how the world spends so much time talking about how we want peace and yet we try to solve those problems with wars. Like Michael said in his song Beat It " They'll kick you, then they beat you, Then they'll tell you it's fair. " The wining side in the wars believe they have had a fair fight, but really all they have achieved was taking away innocent lives. The underlying problems are still there. Michael saw wonder in every living thing and he always wanted this world to be a better place. I hope that someday we can all come together and make a change.

The Conference Of Lies......

           This is not a story that I would want to bring up, but I do want to make sure that I cover everything. I am posting this because in the future IF and WHEN this subject is brought up or the video is played on T.V, and people are using it to say that Michael is guilty because his own sister Latoya said that he was; they can read this and know the truth behind that 1993 press conference and know that she didn't actually mean what she was saying!! So this starts off during the first allegations brought up against Michael in 1993. Michael's sister Latoya did a press conference that wasn't positive at all about Michael. It never helps your plea of innocence when your own family member is accusing you of molesting a child .I know that must have been devastating for Michael because his family is very important to him.

        But there is more to that press conference then it seemed. Latoya Jackson's first husband and manager named Jack Gordon was very abusive. They were together for about 10 years before she had the strength to leave him. Throughout the time she was with him Jack would  lock her in a hotel room day after day, he would beat her, control her every move and he threatened to kill her, Michael and Janet if she ever tried to leave him . She was also unknowingly being fed mind control drugs in her food, which are similar to the ones that they give people in the army before going to war. Even her body guards were hired by Jack so they knew not to let her get away when she tried. Latoya had such deep fear instilled in her by Jack, that if she didn't say those things at the press conference he would try to hurt her and her family.

        Jack Gordon was very jealous of Michael and wanted to hurt his career. So he told Latoya to say those things about Michael in the way that she did. At that point Latoya had to make a choice between saying unfavorable things about Michael or putting her family's life in danger. Latoya was finally able to break free from Jack and can now say that she does believe that Michael was 100% innocent!! The first video below is the 1993 conference. I am posting this video Just so that you can see what conference I am talking about and so you can compare it to the second video which clears everything up about why she said those things. I do not support any of the things she is saying in the first video, but as you can see in the second video; this press conference is still being spoken about  in interviews and t.v. specials about Michael, so I just wanted to show and explain the truth. Michael was always innocent.

** I also want to note that there was no sibling rivalry, at the end of the day they were friends and they loved each other very much**

The Message Behind The Music.......

              We all know how Michael wanted to change the world with his music. He has been asked in interviews if he would ever want to become an ambassador because of the fact that he is so globally accepted all across the world. Michael's answer was " I feel like I am that already with my music because it breaks all barriers, I don't have to make a political statement, I do that with my music. It breaks all language barriers all over the world." Michael definitely proves this in songs like Man in the Mirror which is about change starting within yourself. The lyrics are " If you wanna make the world a better place, Take a look at yourself and make a change". He also did a song called "They don't really care about us " which was a song about police brutality and injustice in the world. He sang the song as himself representing all of the victims of racism, police brutality,  and mistreatment by authority. Michael also did a song called " We are the world" which was a humanitarian song telling us to give back and support the less fortunate and take care of each other because we are all connected, we are all family.

            Then he did " The Earth Song" which was informing the world to take better care of our environment because once it gets to a certain point of destruction; we can't go back and fix it. Michael cared so passionately about the world and it couldn't be more obvious in the songs that he has put out for us to hear. Michael hated wars, seeing starving children and seeing man slowly ruin it's own planet. He did whatever he could to help by donating millions of dollars to charity's, making speeches and visiting sick children in hospitals . Michael has helped the world in so many ways by using his god given talent and magic to show people all that is going on in the world and how we can help. All the media has done is ignore this and focused on making up the next lie about him, but just because they ignored it; doesn't mean that it wasn't happening.Throughout all the media drama Michael Never stopped giving and never stopped loving.

Did The Truth Go Out Of Style?........

        This is one of my favorite quotes from Michael Jackson " What happened to the truth? Did it go out of style". That is definitely a great question, because a long time ago the media used to build your career up and appreciate you for what you did and treat you with respect, but now all they do is bring people up just so they can knock them down harder. That quote also reminds me of New york fashion week, and how the clothes go in and out of style all of the time. That seems to be how the truth in the entertainment industry goes as well. But as we all know ; what goes out of style can always come back in. As Michael has said "The truth always prevails."

       We may be in an era of lies now but I truly believe that things will circle back around  to the beginning and the truth will start to become more favorable to hear to the public. I mean who wants to be lied to? Wouldn't you rather always know the truth and hard facts about your favorite celebrities and other people instead of hearing different unproven lies week after week? I always wondered at what point did the media and other people just turn around and decide to be so cruel. I can never understand how they could be so ruthless and attempt to ruin Michael's life and career. You can say it's jealousy, you can say its envy; but I feel its something even deeper than that. Just the inner need to bring people down to their level to make themselves feel better. They enjoy the feeling of trying to turn Somebody into a Nobody!!

     I've recently noticed that people seem to like to watch other people live their lives. Which I think is the reason why we buy tabloids and watch T.V and movies, but it seems as if there was a point where the movie of Michael's life got too perfect and safe from the media's point of view ; and so they decided to remake his life themselves and put their own version of drama and conflict in it. If Michael was his own "movie" controller, everything would have been the truth from start to finish. You wouldn't have had to read about so many rumors, hear so many lies, and question the truth. So now I just think its up to the fans to re-edit that "movie", and put it right back to where it was supposed to be. Michael may be gone, but his legacy is not. It will never be too late to get the truth out and put all of the lies to rest.
