I found this picture of Michael Jackson's signature on the Internet, and I started thinking about how handwriting experts say that people's signatures speak volumes about their character. Since I'm not a handwriting expert, I looked around to find out what "the experts" say about MJ's signature.
No one can deny that the Michael Jackson in this photo from 1984 looks distinctly different from the child that was a key member of his family's band, "The Jackson 5." Michael evolved constantly, thoroughout his tumultuous life. Evolution, in itself, is a species adaptability to become more diversified to meet changes. The problem with Michael is that he took it too far.
When I look at pictures of Michael as a child, then as a teen, a young man in his twenties, and then what he finally became at the end of his life, I am saddened. I see a person who so desperately wanted to change his appearance that he lost who he really was.
No matter what anyone says or thinks, I'll never change my mind that Michael Jackson is a one-and-only original. One of my weaknesses is reality television. I especially like those wanna-be-a-singing superstar shows. My fave guilty pleasure is American Idol. Anyway, from time to time a talent surfaces and people in the music industry comment on how similar the singer is to MJ. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Well, maybe. But, no one can ever top Michael.

Just like the person in this picture, a smile comes to my face when I listen to anything by Michael Jackson. From his songs as a child in the Jackson 5 to his solo debut as a music artist, I can enjoy almost anything Michael recorded. I say almost anything because I haven't listened to every recording he ever made.
Michael Jackson continues to be remembered by his children and the world. Most recently, his brood participated in a hand and footprint ceremony in front of the famous Grauman Chinese theater. Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket all helped make imprints of their late father's black loafer-style shoes and his trademark sequined glove into the concrete block. At the top of the block "Michael Jackson" was written by Paris, with a heart separating his first and last names. As the children imprinted images their dad's belongings, the crowd showed them love by cheering.
First off, I want to say that I don't watch "Glee". It's not that I have anything against it, it just doesn't fit into my limited television viewing schedule. I have caught a couple of partial episodes by chance. I have to say the show seems entertaining, and I understand why people follow it, but I just have never gotten hooked on it.
Recently, I've noticed that the cast of "Glee" is planning on airing a special tribute show to Michael at the end of January. That's peaked my interest in trying to fit "Glee" into my viewing schedule -- well at least for this one episode.

I remember the first time I became acquainted with the music of Michael Jackson. I was 11 years old, and at a friend's birthday party. She received the "Thriller" album as a present. She put the album on her record player and we danced around the patio to his music in delight. My love for MJ's music was born. Many years have passed since I first came to know the king of pop's music, and over his career, Michael's music evolved and his looks changed, too.
