Hello familia. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_biggrin

A lot of you know me for my lengthy posts on here. Hehe. Yay for those!! How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_rolleyes

Lol.
But I haven't really told anyone how I became an MJ fan/lover. I felt like sharing so here goes.
Maybe someone can relate to me????

I'm 16 and didn't grow up listening to MJ's music. Mainly because no one in my family was a fan. Actually, they all listened to what the media said about him and left it at that. They simply thought he was a freak. Anything I heard about Michael at school or on tv was that he was a pedophile who bleached his skin and was obsessed with cosmetic surgery. It's heartbreaking that people said such horrible things about him. I grew interest in Michael a week or so before he 'died.' I find that so strange. One night I felt I needed to hear some preaching...a sermon if you will. I needed something inspirational to lift my spirits. I watched a video of one of my favorite ministers, Louie Giglio. In the video he made a reference to Michael Jackson and how so many people love him and sometimes act as if they worship him. He was saying that we should have this much love for God. Well, this sparked my interest. I went on youtube and typed in MJ's name. I watched a few music videos and then a couple interviews. For some reason I found this man so interesting. Hehe...go figure.

I realized that everything I had heard about him was a lie. I realized how wonderful he is. I actually cried the next day when I came back for more MJ videos. It really made me sad to think that someone had to endure so much judgment from their peers. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and I know there is one for me loving Michael so much. It's so weird that my eyes were unveiled only days before his 'death.' It's like God showed me how amazing this man was before all hell broke loose. It's a beautiful feeling I have when I think of Michael. My heart goes out to him and is overflowing with love for him. I thank God for Michael. He has taught me so much and is my inspiration.

A lot of family members and friends have thrown my 'recent' admiration for him in my face. They say things like, "Well, you didn't even like him before he died did you?" *Sigh* And then I have to explain everything to them again. They know I am seriously in love with Michael though. He's all I talk/think about. I went to see TII twice and wanted to go more but I'm kinda sorta broke right now. But my mom asked me why I would want to see it so many times. What's so special about it? Well, Michael. Michael is what is so special about it. I love anything and everything he does. He creates beautiful things, he's so talented, and on top of that he's the most humble, sane, compassionate, and beautiful man I've ever known of. Besides Jesus of course.

Just know that we are blessed to see the light. We see the truth. We choose L.O.V.E. and not hate. <3 And I am definitely going to make sure my younger siblings have what I never did as a child. That is L.O.V.E. for Michael Jackson. I feel so proud when I see them attempt one of his dance moves, sing the lyrics to one of his songs, or beg me to watch one of his videos.

I can't say that I've been a fan since the age of 2. But rest assured, my little brother Christian will be able to. And with that, I can smile and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Here's a video of my brothers and sister dancing to Thriller. A lot of you have seen it already. Haha!

Lol...my laugh is annoying. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_redface

I love you ALL!! And I truly mean it. Keep the faith and God bless! <3

WOWIE!! I'm pretty much in the same boat just about!
Here's how I became a fan/lover of MJ!!!!!

Well, first off, I started listening to MJ like right before I started my freshman yr of high school which was back in summer of 2002.
The first album that I ever got was MJ's biggest selling album of all time Thriller.
I'd listen to it quite a bit & really enjoyed it.
But sadly enough, around my freshman year of high school, my Thriller CD got stolen How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_sad

Then the 2nd CD of MJ's that I received was Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & that was around my sophomore yr of high school.
My MJ CD "Dangerous" I received from a friend of mine around Christmas of my junior yr in high school.
The last CD that I'd gotten was his Number Ones album, of course, I don't really know for sure when I got that. but oh well.
But no matter, what, I listened to his music but at the time I wasn't a serious fan.

I remember the issue w/ the allegations of the child molestation just seeing them on TV, & I felt/knew in my heart that MJ was innocent all along. I knew he wouldn't do anything like that. I honestly just can't STAND Jordan Chandler/his father Evan Chandler, nor can I stand Gavin Arvizo. They are COMPLETE LIARS!!!!!!

MJ loves children & as he said, I believe in an interview, if I'm correct, that he would "Slit his own wrist, before hurting a child."

Then, around the time when June 25th of this year came, I was completely shocked by the sudden news that Michael had 'Died' & I literally broke down & I couldn't believe that it had happened.
I even got emotional when I saw the "Memorial" as well.

So, then I went back to listening to his music alot more then I did in the past, & as of this very moment, I am completely hooked/addicted & certainly can't get enough of his amazing music. I've even tried to do the moonwalk in my kitchen at home(although the kitchen is awfully small) LOL.
I've seen pretty much all of his music videos & they are amazingly incredible.
So that was around the time that I became a fan, even though for me, I kinda regret not being a fan before, sadly enough.
I just feel terrible. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_sad

And now, I listen to his music alot more on my mini Ipod Shuffle, like just about every single day. I have most of his songs from all the albums even though I was easily able to just burn some songs onto some blank CD's from the CD's that I don't have that I didn't list, & then transferred them to my mini Ipod.

Now, apparently, my mom is making such a big deal about it all, even though she's not saying that I'm not a fan, even though I am a fan, but I'm new, but to her she thinks that my "Obessession" w/ him has gone a bit too overboard or too far, & that she told me that I could've cared less about MJ & that my obsession ought to stop.
But in reality, I just never talked about MJ during the times that I've been w/ my mom which has been quite a few years.

I told my mom flat out, that NOTHING was gonna change how I felt about Michael Jackson. I love Michael Jackson & always will. <3
I feel, that he's one of the most talented performers, an amazing humanitarian, his love for children is amazing as well.
Everything about him is just phenomenal.

But what really, really tears me apart is the fact that my mom & stepdad unfortunately have called MJ a Pedophile since they apparently believe everything the media has unfortunately said about MJ which really hurts me, but I know in my heart that he's not. But I will say this, my mom does like some of MJ's songs such as "Man in the Mirror" & "You Are Not Alone" & a few others, since she grew up w/ Michael, which she's quite lucky herself since she was born August 1, 1956. (Boy is my mom lucky, I'm so jealous) LOL How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_smile

So, anyways, what I do for myself, is I just basically just try to keep my mouth shut, particularly when I'm around my stepdad, & keep everything about MJ to myself.
But then again, my mom & stepdad just don't see the real truth behind MJ & it's really sad. I wish that the media just wouldn't brainwash all these people but unfortunately, that's what happened since that's exactly what the media is good at doing...just brainwashing people, getting them to believe everything they see on tv, or read in a magazine.
Just like in the words of one of MJ's songs "Tabloid Junkie"

"Just because you read it in a magazine, or see it on a tv screen, don't make it factual."

Plus a few of his other quotes which I always try to keep in mind as well & I'm sure you all do too as well.

"Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel."

"People write negative things, because they feel that's what sells, Good news to them doesn't sell."

So there's my story about how I became a Michael Jackson Lover! <3

@MJsAngelEyes1987
Thank you for sharing love. It's like I was reading about myself when I read your post. I can relate.
First with the allegations thing. Our justice system is so messed up. A person's reputation can be totally tarnished by one allegation. All it takes is ONE allegation and someone can be arrested and brought in for questioning etc. That is horrible. Especially in Michael's case. No evidence, only an allegation. But I don't have it in my heart to blame Jordan or Gavin for what happened. It was their parent's fault. So sad and disturbing that someone could do this to another human being. Now that Jordan and Gavin are older, it would be wonderful if they came forward and confessed everything. People have posted false reports on that but I don't see it happening. There would be lawsuits and so much hell. It's what the people behind this deserve but I don't see them coming out.

I know in my heart that Michael was and IS innocent. It really hurts me too when people call Michael a pedophile. It just is NOT TRUE!! My mom got so upset and annoyed with me one day. She was over the whole "obsession with MJ" thing and she just wanted it to stop. My little brother Christian was telling my mom that he loves Michael Mackons. Smile

And my mom had the nerve to say, "No Christian. Michael Mackons hurts little boys." How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_evil

I was so hurt and so upset. I said, "Mom!! Are you serious?!?! Did you really just say that?!?!" She said, "Well, he does!" Oh my gosh! I was furious! I told her that I have documentaries she can watch and articles she can read if she wants to learn more about this. She said he wasn't worth her time. I raised my voice and said, "If you're not going to take time to research and find facts then don't go around trashing someone's name!! Do your homework!" She ignored me. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_sad

She is pregnant, due in 5 days. So maybe that's why she's been such a hater lately. That was about 2 weeks ago though. She recently took my brother to see TII for his birthday and guess what??? She actually kinda likes him now. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_cheers

I guess Michael just had to show her himself. She sees how amazing he is...I know it. She's in denial if she says otherwise. Hehe.

My grandma also once said, "Well, didn't he molest a boy?" She said that my grandpa had told her that. I said no and told her that I was going to send her some videos about the allegations. I also sent her some videos on his Vitiligo since she had thought he bleached his skin too. I am happy to say that my grandma is a fan now and my mom isn't a hater anymore! Yay!! I will always defend Michael. Because I know it's what's right. I understand how you feel about wanting to bring up MJ when around certain people. I know a few people who don't like MJ and I've never been comfortable around them so I just don't talk about Michael. I know they'd say something ignorant and I'd do a crappy job of defending him since I am already uncomfortable around them. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_evil

It sucks that everyone has been brainwashed.

Hehe. I have also told my mom that I will always love Michael. For heaven's sake, I'm IN LOVE with the man. <3 I told her that my feelings for him are never going to change.

I also regret not being a fan sooner. It's sad. How I became a Michael Jackson LOVER Icon_sad

But I'm happy that I can share my love for Michael with my siblings and they WILL grow up with MJ unlike I did. Smile

I cried when I saw the memorial too. And pretty much every day before I found this site. Even after...I still cry from time to time. It's not because I think he's dead. It's because I miss him SOO much and I want to know the truth already. I feel like a piece of my heart is missing. It amazes me that God could put this much love into my heart for a stranger. I can't say I know Michael, wish I could. But I can say that I have learned about him from afar. He is beautiful and he inspires me. <3

Michael, I will always love you with every piece of my broken heart. <3 That will never change. I promise.
