Tribute to the Smooth Criminal by ~Papa-T-41:iconPapa-T-41:



"Believe it or not, there was an age where Michael Jackson was a god."
~Douglas "The Nostalgia Critic" Walker, Moonwalker Movie Review

"I think Dave Chappelle said it best: he made...Thriller."
~James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe, Moonwalker Game Review

"Michael Jackson buries them all!"
~George Carlin

The music world lost a legend today...
At one point, he was considered a god among men.
He serenaded the world with his smooth voice...
Dazzled the world with amazing dancing skills...
And won over the hearts of millions.

Now...all of that is but a fond memory.
As the King of Pop...has died.

Though he may be gone in flesh and blood,
His soulful spirit will continue to live on.
Aspiring musicians and music artists will carry the torch,
And older music vets will, somehow, pay homage to him.

RIP Michael Jackson - August 28th, 1958 to June 25th, 2009

It seems like this year is the year that superstars are fading from existance. First Dom DeLuise, then Wayne Allwine, and now...Michael Jackson has left us.

Alright, so he's not in the same line of work as DeLuise and Allwine, but he's still a huge name worth mentioning. I won't deny it, as a music lover and an aspiring musician, I think Michael Jackson's one of the most influential musicians out there. Even through the jokes and public flac he's received over the past few years, many people still think of him as an iconic person. And when I heard that he died at age 50, I was just...astounded. I thought he still had more in him; a LOT more. But fate can be a cruel thing sometimes, and...it was today.

So this is my little homage to the King of Pop. I may make a music video using one of his songs as further dedication, but for now, this'll do.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Jackson...your spirit shall live on forever.

I know. But to be honest, I don't know Farrah as well as I do Michael Jackson, so that's why I only made a tribute to him :P.

yeah well I didn't know both of them too well. I've only heard of "thriller" from him and that was it.

I was completely shocked when I heard the news. It's such a terrible news. I didn't expect him to die so soon. I wasn't a fan of him, but I respect the fact he did a lot of great things in the world of music (such as the Thriller music video, as well as the Smooth Criminal one). May he rest in peace, along with Farrah Fawcett.

I'm sure Michael was friends with a lot of people...and he had a lot of big dreams for life after music, too. It's too bad he won't be able to see them come true :(.
