Michael Jackson was the Most Famous Man on the Planet

by Chance Kelsey on Saturday, June 27, 2009

Michael Jackson “The King of Pop” passed away On Thursday, June 25, 2009, there is no doubt, that he was the most famous man on earth all the way up until his death. He touched millions around the world with his music, no matter what country he went to crowds of fans and political leaders would gather to greet him.

Leaders in other countries would do things for him even though he was not a politician. When political leaders in other countries did not like the American government, they liked Michael Jackson. Jackson had more influence among the elite in other countries then many members of the American government.

He changed music history by taking music and music videos up to another level.
Children and adults regardless of their ethnic background wanted to be like him, and many people emulated him. His style of music was the type that all people of various ethnic back groups could groove to.

Now that he is gone we must remember that he was more than a singer, he was also a philanthropist. He gave millions to various charities through his “heal the world foundation”.  He visited sick kids in hospitals all around the world when he visited other countries. By Jackson being black this helped black people all around the world to some degree.

When non blacks saw Jackson they were reminded of black people in general.
He brought a lot of good into the world, and the world showered him with much deserved affection. There is a sense of shame no doubt that some people who criticized him to strongly are feeling. In life they focused too much on his flaws, and too little on the good that Jackson did for others.

Some people said that he did not want to be black, and that’s why he bleached his skin to white. It has been confirmed by dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein who was Jackson’s skin doctor that Michael had lupus and vitiligo.

Dr. Deepak Chopra also has confirmed Jackson lupus and vitiligo.

When Michael Jackson wore a glove on one hand it was to hide the vitiligo.

He saw all of the racism in America, and the world. The song “Black or White” was one of his ways of trying to show that it doesn’t matter if you are black or white we are all humans, and bleed the same.

That song was one of the ways he brought healing into the world. It also shows that he was aware of the color divide that affected the world. The fact that he was raising three children shows that he wanted to be a father too. He showered his three kids with love and amenities.

In 2009 when British TV personality Jade Goody was in the hospital dying of cervical cancer, Michael Jackson called her and wished her well. At the tender age of 27 Jade Goody died at her home in Upshire, Essex, England on March 22, 2009.

It is said that a poets worth is judged after his death, but Michael Jackson’s worth was determined while he lived. His worth to the world was total greatness. Such a beautiful voice and dancing talent he had. There should be some award named after him. I would like to thank you Michael for all those times — I spent as a young boy growing up watching you on television, music videos, movies, albums, and radio.

To the world, let’s remember the time when we fell in love with Michael Jackson the man, and the music.
