I'll Be There: Michael Jackson Tribute

As many close to me know, I have been deeply affected by Michael Jackson's untimely passing. I realized just how big a part he played in my own life/childhood and it feels like a little piece of me is missing. I wept as I thought about the overwhelming magnitude his presence had in modern popular culture. It's incredible how far one person can reach out to people. I can't ever think of the time Michael Jackson came into my life, he was always just 'there' somehow and in the recent weeks have been almost obsessively watching Michael Jackson interviews, videos, buying magazines etc, just trying to make sense of the situation and figure out who this man was. I mean it's very strange feeling to have someone play such a big part in your life, without ever knowing them, and now he's gone I'm trying to have an understanding.

I have also been thinking about the affect it has had on his family. Its very hard to imagine such a thing, all I can do is say my deepest sympathies go out to his family and children.

I had made some indications of my feelings and thoughts publicly on Facebook, but felt that I needed to really speak out about my thoughts and do something positive by way of making a tribute video to him. I thank my good friend Chris Kennedy for joining me on this collaboration, we sang this a few years ago together on a karaoke website and it seemed fitting to redo it for this commemoration.

I know the media and many of his fans have portrayed him as a god-like figure, but they way I see him, is that he was really just a man, but he was a great man and that is what made him special.

Michael Jackson will never be forgotten..

Peace

We wanted to get footage in the video, but didn't have the means, so hopefully the pictures will suffice ...

P.S You may hear the sound is a bit strange- I was having problems with my mic, but its sorted now, ready for the next video :)

1st Day Honours-Thank you so much for the support :)
