This channel pays homage to the mega-talented star the KING OF POP, Michael Jackson. During his life, he gave so much of himself to us, it seems only fitting that his fans now give back in order to honor him.
His legacy will be forever connected to his musical genius and jaw-dropping dancing. At the age when many of us were learning how to share toys, Michael was already performing and perfecting his incredible skills as an artist. Yes, he was a brilliant singer and dancer, but Michael Jackson represented so much more. He was a musician, a composer, a producer, a director, and an actor. He brought new life to the music industry and unforgettable music into our lives.
Michael's compassion for others is well documented and should be included in his legacy. Through his personal donations and the raising of millions of dollars for charities, he was honored with "Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star." Through his financial generosity, Michael Jackson brought hope and happiness to many who had none. The gentleness and vulnerability he displayed made us love him even more. When we weren't caught up practicing our own frightful versions of the Moonwalk, we listened as he gave us the opportunity to reflect upon the needs of others and think upon ways to improve our own life choices. Herein lies the secret of his appeal.
As a true global citizen, Michael spoke to us in ways we hadn't previously heard or seen. He asked if we believe we could help make this a better place. Michael Jackson was a world-class multi-media icon who seem fated to entertain and amaze. Simultaneously, he showed "we are the world" and that YES WE CAN become a positive change. It was Michael's dream that we utilize our power to create better days for everyone. Through his own actions, he proved it was possible.
Let's not permit mean-spirited innuendos, past controversy, or wicked tabloid rumors enter into the Michael Jackson legacy. He was so much more than the King of Pop. As Queen Latifah reminds us: "Michael was the biggest star on Earth."
