For Jermaine (who was trying to sing along, but didn’t know the words):
Everywhere I go, every smile I see
I know you are there – smiling back at me
Dancing in moonlight I know you are free
Cuz I can see your star shining down on me
Janet is a star. And she’s still got it. I can’t imagine [...]

I’m back from Hilton Head and made it home just in time to unpack and catch the VMAs. Tonight begins with an MJ tribute kicked off by Madonna, which actually brought me to tears by the end.

My life has been topsy turvy for quite a while, and I’m starting to feel like I’m on an even keel again now. Or…getting there. I think I briefly mentioned the project from hell that lasted close to 2 years and was almost responsible for me quitting/getting fired. Thank God that’s complete. It was a [...]

The show starts off with tape of Michael draping a sequined cape on James Brown at his performance at the ‘03 BET Awards. He did a few fancy foot moves a la JB, and bowed to the Godfather of Soul. Then we hear the beginning of ABC and see 5 or 6 people [it's hard [...]

Michael Jackson is an incredible artist – and one of my favorite songs is ‘Smooth Criminal’. For most of my life I have believed that the lines that sound like “Annie, are you ok? say, Annie are you ok? Are you ok, Annie?” were actually saying that. I’ve been told, though, that he [...]

You know, I’ve pretty much been a Michael Jackson fan my whole life. Not the kind that faints at concerts…or even goes for that matter, but, yeah – I like his music. Certainly, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t been touched by any of his music…
I remember someone brought the [...]
