Michael Jackson: The Man Behind The Mirror

MICHAEL JACKSON:

THE LEGEND,

THE MAN,

HUMANITARIAN,

MUSICAL GENIUS,

INNOVATOR,

A BLESSING....

THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER TO HAVE EVER LIVED.

It was just one month ago on June 25th of 2009 that Michael Jackson's death would spawn more than three quarters of the world to go into a state of mourning.  I would be one of them.  Even today with one thought of Michael Jackson passing away I find myself on the verge of tears.  This man was the most amazing man I had ever had the chance to get to know through his music, his dancing, his charity work, his words of wisdom, his out of this world ability to love & humility.  Michael Jackson defined in his early career and re-defined in his later career the meaning of Mega Star, Legendary & Humanitarianism on a scale unimaginably possible to the critics.

He would often be criticized for his plastic surgery, his uncontrollable pigmentation lose, & falsely accusing child molestation cases in the later half of his career.  The want and need to belittle or demean the greatest entertainer of all time was and still is a hungry beast in the media.  Anything positive that can be manipulated into negative about Michael Jackson would and will be on the front cover of every newspaper or magazine.  I do not participate in such negativity that is geared to tear down this amazing human being who has been a blessing to our lives in more ways than one. I intend to celebrate his life, educate the "nay sayers", keep his legacy on this earth alive & thank him for all that he has done in a 50 year life span; 45 of which would be in the spotlight.

With that being said,

 

Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to introduce to you:

 The Man behind the Mirror.

Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson

Born as a child prodigy, Michael Jackson would be known to audiences around the country as the lead singer in his family band, The Jackson Five, by the age of 7 years old.  His soulful voice, dance moves and passion on stage singing songs about love & love lost was hard to go unnoticed even by some of the most racist viewers. Michael would break this color line through his music.  This would mark the beginning of his legacy.

I don't believe I have to map out his entire successful career for you, the reader, because it is a world wide fact this man was the greatest entertainer of all time!  He went from being cute Little Michael, the lead singer of the Jackson 5, to becoming the Icon and Legend of our time!  He would later drop albums "Off The Wall", Thriller", "Bad", "Blood on The Dance Floor", "HIStory", "Dangerous", "Invincible" & a Host of Singles for Movie Soundtracks and for the bridge between races; i.e. We Are The World.

I am also not going to tell you the scandalous rumors and lies that the media has been writing about Michael as well because you are all familiar with that crap they throw in your face.  But on June 25th of 2009 the world was not just crying for this amazing performer, but for the messages his body and music conveyed to an audience.  Most importantly for the many lives he had saved on this earth.  Michael Jackson has hosted the MOST charities and foundations any artist or any one has ever done!  They won't tell you about that in the news, but you will learn about that here!  Below is a list of charities and/or organizations that were founded and funded by Michael Jackson, but not limited to:
