A childhood favorite from back when I still lived with my mother. Michael Jackson was one of my mother's favorite artists, and being in the same room as her and watching the videos, I was always amazed by his dancing and his music. I was never much of a musical person, but I couldn't help but love that style and it wasn't until older that it started coming back again. I was overjoyed and laughing like crazy when he was acquitted on all of his charges.

When my mother passed away years ago, my father listened to some of his music and I was there to watch his DVDs as well. It was then that I got back into Michael Jackson's music and reestablished him as one of my favorite artists. What really did it was when I went to go to hhgregg to get an HDTV. Checking out a stereo system, the guy working with me had a mix CD and the song on there, "Billie Jean", almost had me dancing at the store.

Anyway, I felt like reminiscing right there. I got the Thriller 25th Anniversary, the first Michael Jackson CD I ever bought and listened to it, nearly wearing myself dancing to it all the way. But I will never forget his style and his contributions.

R.I.P. King of Pop. Michael Jackson, you will always be remembered as a legend.
