Song: Will You Be There Artist: Michael Jackson
Hold me Like the River Jordan And I will then say to thee You are my friend Carry me Like you are my brother Love me like a mother Will you be there
In our darkest hour In my deepest despair Will you still care Will you be there
In my trials And my tribulations Through our doubts And frustrations In my turbulence Through my fear And my confessions
In my anguish And my pain Through my joy And my sorrow In the promise of another tomorrow I'll never let you part For you're always In my heart

Thank you for sharing with me. Tears in my eyes. Hope all the best to Michael Jackson's children.
I only knew Michael Jackson a bit before too. when there of negative news 3-4 years ago I felt that I didn’t like him. Now I feel shamed of myself and sad. I am influenced by medias and judge Michael Jackson without knowing the truth. This is sad and I hope it occurs less in the future for me.
Enjoy your rest of the week,

我和你一樣,以前很少聽Michael Jackson的歌曲,這三首歌曲《Childhood》, 《Will You Be There》, 《You Are Not Alone》, 都是最近才第一次聽到的,才重新去認識Michael Jackson,去體會他的歌曲,去感受他的心聲。
尤其看了Michael Jackson的女兒Paris Jackson在她父親的Michael Jackson Memorial Service's impromptu speech,真的好感人,讓人心痛,忍不住流淚。
我摘錄 Paris Jackson's impromptu speech 如下,和你分享:
“I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just wanted to say I love him so much.”
------Paris Jackson
問候靜謐海灣,新的一周快樂,

新的一周愉快,

Thank you very much for your mesags. Yes, it is indeed a very touching song.
Michael Jackson was an artist who sang with his heart and soul. From his songs 《Childhood》, 《Will You Be There》, 《You Are Not Alone》, I can feel his inner emotions, his pain, his love, his forgiveness,etc.
Have a nice weekend,
Rebecca
頗有同感, Michael Jackson---一個用靈魂在唱歌的藝術家。
苗青青說的好:“寬容是美好的人類之愛”。寬容了別人,也解放了自己。
周末快樂,
Rebecca
Thank you for sharing,
Have a good weekend with your family,
問好貝卡, enjoy a peaceful and pleasant day! Nice weekend.
Thank you for the greetings.
Have a wonderful evening,
Rebecca

International pop star Michael Jackson experienced what must have been some of the highest and lowest moments of his life under an unrelenting media spotlight, before his sudden death Thursday at the age of 50.
The performer known for stunning dance moves and a blend of pop, rock, and soul music gained fame early in a group with his four older brothers, known as The Jackson Five. But he reached superstardom during his young adult years, when his solo career yielded albums such as 1979's "Off the Wall," and "Thriller," in 1982, which became the top-selling album of all time.
Jackson also became an early innovator in the world of music video, when the genre was first developing in the early 1980s. His videos for the "Thriller" album had a cinematic quality that involved complicated dance routines and sometimes even storylines, that were unlike anything that had been done before.
He created an iconic, angular style of dance that incorporated pantomime techniques, lightning-fast changes, and his signature "moonwalk." The move mesmerized audiences as he glided backward while appearing to walk forward. His singing was similarly unique, mixing soul-like ballads with dance jams punctuated by hoots and shrieks.
Jackson was also a power player in philanthropy during the 1980s. In 1985 he helped organize the USA for Africa famine relief effort, assembling a star-studded cast to record the anthem "We Are the World," which was written for the occasion and became a top-selling single.
In his private life, however, he was reclusive and eccentric. He fashioned himself as a modern-day Peter Pan, saying he had never had a chance to enjoy his childhood. He surrounded himself with children, even going so far as to build a zoo and amusement park at his California home.
He was married twice, first in 1994 to Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of late rock and roll legend Elvis Presley; and later to a then-unknown woman, Debbie Rowe, who was the mother of his first two children. Neither marriage lasted longer than three years. Jackson fathered a third child, reportedly by an unidentified surrogate.
Earlier this year, Jackson announced a series of comeback concerts in London scheduled to begin in July. When tickets went on sale in March, they sold out within minutes. Now, fans are clustered around significant places in his life to pay tribute: the Apollo Theater in New York City, the gates of his Los Angeles home, his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Even in death, Michael Jackson has not escaped the spotlight.
