Get Creative And Pay Tribute To Michael Jackson! (1958-2009)
by Lauren John. Published June 26, 2009.
Love him or hate him, as a musician or a person, Michael Jackson affected all our lives. Although he may have lived a lonely, sometimes odd/reclusive existance, has had constant pictures printed or his changing looks, and has been plagued by skandal, all this should be forgotten, as we remember the King Of Pop, who sadly passed away aged 50.
Michael began his career at a very young age, and went on to have a huge impact on the Motown Scene with his brothers as part of the Jackson 5. After leaving the group he went on to have global success as a solo artist, becoming one of the most iconic singers of his generation. His album Thriller remains the best selling album of all time, and he sold around 750 million albums in his lifetime. Jackson’s legacy not only amounts to the amazing music that will never be forgotten, but the inspiration he gave, and will give in the future to multiple generations of performers.
In the days to come further details of his death will emerge and the tidal wave of reaction/grief/and tribute will increase too. We don’t want to repeat what you will hear a hundred times over, but we do want to pay tribute to a unique and shining star that will be sadly missed. So we invite you to join with us, and get creative with your Michael Jackson tributes. We’re looking for artwork, computer graphics, poems, song lyrics, craft, a photo, or maybe even a video of you singing a Jackson song. Contact us @ lauren.john@music.co.uk with your creations, and the story behind them, and all will be considered for our special pages.
Thanks Everyone and May our thoughts be with The Jackson Family at this sad time.

i love micheal jackson so much and we will never forget him. he is my role model because i am only 10 years of age. when i was 5 i would dance around the house doing all the moves of micheal jackson. but now i dance the way he does and i really mean it. at school i am always put in the school plays because they have seen me dancing like micheal in the playground. my family say i am really good at dancing like him. he IS the king of pop, the one and only king of pop.

What can i say about Michael Jackson, He was and will always be the King of Pop i can honestly say the world was a better place with him in it. Now the world as lost the best performer and humanitarian ever. Me personaly i am in shock of his sudden death i wasn’t the biggest fan but i loved his music and grew up on it. I believed that he would have lived a long life and would bring records out in decades to come. It still leaves a lump in my throat when i hear his music. The tribute song by his brother Jermaine “Smile” made me cry it really did say the way i felt. The memorial was a fitting tribute to Michael and i wish his family all the best.
Michael wherever you are “I love you and will never forget you”.
LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP
