8 Reasons Why Michael Jackson is Still King In 2020

Taking it back many many moons, I remember being about two years old, waking up in the middle of the night and opening my door to complete darkness. In a second, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video started to play.

When the switch happened, where they're in the graveyard and you hear the deep voice, I screamed. I ran and found my grandma on the couch and jumped into her arms. After she calmed me down, she replayed the VHS that she had recorded it on and let me watch.

That was the start of my obsession with Michael Jackson.

I remember where I was and what I was doing when we got the word Michael had passed. Not a day has passed since where you don't hear about him in the media, someway, somehow. No matter what, Michael will always be the king of pop, and nobody can take that from him

1. Michael Jackson has the best music... no discussion.

I feel like it's a no-brainer. Michael Jackson has the best music. He has a little bit for everyone. The soul, the feel, the emotion he shows. His music is one of a kind.

2. He could act without really acting.

HE COULD ACT! If you haven't seen "The Wiz," please do ASAP. Michael played a character but somehow still showed us himself.

3. His style is one for the books.

Michael Jackson's styles are one that will be copied until the end of time. Artists like Justin Bieber and Chris Brown even have music that follow Michael's style.

4. Perfectionist at its best.

Jackson was a perfectionist. He would record a song, and if it didn't fit his image, he wouldn't use it, which is why he has many unreleased songs. He was very precise and had the whole practice makes perfect down to a T when he would have tour rehearsals.

5. He is humble and kind.

Despite his fame, he had a heart full of gold. He loved people and wanted the best for everyone. All that knew him spoke nothing but great things about him.

6. "Thriller"...enough said

"Thriller" is just an iconic album.

7. He's still loved even after his death.

Even though he is gone, his spirit is still very alive.

8. Everyone sees him as the king.

That's all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.
