    Started off rather tame but I still decided to watch and glad that I did. Alot of interviews with colleagues, friends, dancers, etc. that had interesting personal stories that explored MJ's private life. I never had much interest in his background but have been listening to one of his greatest hits CD and stopped to appreciate the genius production and magnificent sound he created. So I figured this guy has made so many negative headlines but his music is phenomenal, what's ticking here.

    The background music is unrecognizable and most annoying, wish they would cut the unnecessary tracks that only compete with voices. This was made before his passing so they proclaim major optimism for his future career. I admit this was a huge loss to the music industry and wonder what he could have accomplished if continued his pursuit of melody magic. He apparently, according to many interviews, was the most talented musician they ever encountered among hundreds of clients. Mind you he never played an instrument.

    I was surprised to hear such magnificent remarks on his abilities thinking the studios were mostly responsible but looks like he really was in charge of the show. Alas these superstars have equally strong penchants for dark interests and we never did get to find out what really happened with his accusations. I suppose given the notorious adventures of so many before him they are most likely true. This greatly saddens me but for now I am enjoying dancing to his tunes and getting a good workout.

    No matter how bad I feel, I hit play on just one of his albums and I get transported to my delightful dancing days and am uplifted. Thank you for that Michael. RIP
