A tribute to the life of Michael Jackson.
Back in 1958, Michael Jackson was born into a large family in Indiana. He began his musical career at the age of 5 years old and has been entertaining us ever since. Among his many achievements, what the public should remember is the contribution he made during his lifetime to the world of entertainment, rather than the controversy surrounding his life.
As a boy, childhood was filled with entertainment. As a man, this skill was honed and perfected, and it is natural that this extent of popularity and fame affected the character of the man. His striving for perfection was kept alive right to the very end of his life, culminating with plans being made for a tour at the age of 50. This tour was never to happen, and Michael died on the 25th June 2009.
So what is it that we should remember about Michael? All over the Internet stories unfold about aspects of his life. There was even speculation as far back as 2005 that Michael had died, followed by other reports of his death last year. What is it that attracts such media attention and why does Michael merit focus on the positive aspects of his life?
The reason is simple. This performer gave the public the majority of his life. It is the very least we can do, as listeners to music and as people who appreciate the personal sacrifice given by our stars, to remember him for the work he gave us.
As a lead singer in The Jacksons in 1964, many remember the innocent child with a voice which enthralled the public with its freshness and clarity. His contribution to Motown was extensive, though little did the public know the treats he had in store for his fans, developing an unforgettable style which was imitated by youth all over the world.
Stepping stone in his career led him to becoming a formidable solo artist, with albums such as Music and Me, Off the Wall, etc., though what came next was a revolution for the musical industry. Gone was the shy boy voice which heralded the singing of Ben, remembered for its innocence and simple approach. In came the milestones in Michael Jackson's life with the dawning of Thriller, which appealed to youth worldwide, with 7 hit singles emanating from this album alone, and sales which put him into the league of Superstar.
The dance routines perfected by Michael Jackson showed an individual style, but also showed the diversity of what Michael was capable of giving his audiences. The 1984 Grammy Awards recognized the value of Michael's performance when he walked away with 8 awards.
His career has continued to stun audiences, with video presentation for songs such Earth song. Listeners will also remember songs such as You are Not Alone, at a period in the star's life when he was possibly at the most lonely of times imaginable. People pointed fingers at Michael and much speculation surrounded the private life of the star who gave the world more than just songs, but songs which gave hope, inspiration and talent to people all over the world.
They say that Michael never grew up. How many could step through life in any kind of reality, given the background of a man whose life revolved around being observed by the public? What we should remember is the music, the dance and the personal sacrifice made by Michael to the entertainment industry. His life was a hard one and a very giving one which has left the world with volumes of music which pay tribute to his sacrifice. We should in short remember Michael Jackson as an entertainer who made a difference.

CEBU, Philippines (CNN) -- Amid the tropical heat of a Phillipine prison, convicted murderers, rapists and drug dealers on Saturday paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a reprise of their YouTube dance hit, "Thriller."
A rendition of Jackson's 1980s smash hit by prisoners at the Cebu Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the central Philippines garnered more than 24 million views since 2007, when prison supervisor Byron Garcia first uploaded it to the video-sharing Web site.
Inmates at the prison in Cebu perform their tribute to Michael Jackson Saturday.
The prison has since posted other dance videos, including performances to Van Halen's "Jump," Queen's "Radio Ga Ga," and Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder's "Together in Electric Dreams."
Jackson, known as the "King of Pop," died Thursday in Los Angeles, less than two weeks shy of the first in a series of comeback concerts in London, England.
When he heard the news, Garcia, himself a fan of the 50-year-old pop icon, organized a free tribute performance by inmates for local people in the prison courtyard.
Dancing was introduced at the prison in 2007, as a means of rehabilitating prisoners at a facility once notorious for its gang problem.
Every able-bodied prisoner must dance. If they refuse, they lose privileges, mostly conjugal visits. According to Garcia, the dancing occupies up to five hours a day. However he rejected claims he's abusing the prisoners' rights by forcing them to dance so many hours a day.
He said it gives them a renewed sense of worth and confidence, breaking them of their violent ways. He is convinced his prison is a model for prison authorities everywhere, an example of how to crack the plague of violent prison gangs.
"It brought back their self esteem. We have happy inmates now -- we don't want to go back to the old jail where we had mad, sad inmates," he said.
In searing temperatures, 1,400 men in bright orange tracksuits performed the 15-minute "Thriller" routine perfectly. They rehearsed for 10 hours the previous day, finally stopping at 3 a.m. to rest ahead of the show.
The superbly-choreographed moves, energy and obvious enthusiasm of the prisoners had the audience -- swelled by journalists from around the world -- captivated the audience. Several inmates even invited people from the crowd to dance with them.
"I never thought I would ever find myself dancing with a prisoner," one excited local said.
A local journalist even described the performance as Asia's best way of paying tribute to Jackson.
Garcia, who says the prison has witnessed no violence in three years, paid tribute to the performers. "I'm so proud of them," he said. "They got the dance exactly right."
Although it was "probably wishful thinking," he added that he had actually wanted Michael Jackson to come to Cebu to dance and play the role himself. "Now it's not going to happen," he said mournfully.
Convicted robber Mavin Cabido, 23, said: "I feel so sad as we idolize him really. The moonwalk is my favorite -- I like that."
Subject: MICHAEL JACKSON WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. HE IS A TRUE ARTIST. THE ONE AND ONLY. THE GREATEST ARTIST WHO EVER LIVED......THANK YOU MICHAEL FOR THE MUSIC AND THE TALENT YOU SHARED WITH US.....YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.....WE LOVE YOU.....
