Micheal Jackson: Spreading messages through song

Since someone else has already reviewed Ice Age 3 (of which I just watched yesterday), I'll talk more about the late and great Micheal Jackson. Despite the huge mess over whether MJ is a child molester or not (Of which I firmly believe he is NOT), MJ will, in the end, be remembered for all the amazing songs he has given us in the good old days.

Ever since he was 10, he sang songs in the Jackson Five like 'ABC', which was enough to get your feet dancing. If theres one good thing that language and communication has made possible, its song. Who knew that words said at different tones and to varying rhythms could be such a wonderful thing. And Micheal Jackson is pure proof of that.

Songs can be nice to listen and dance to, but sometimes, they can also convey deep and moving messages to listeners and can motivate people to go on. Songs that MJ sang like 'Heal the World' and 'Man in the Mirror' were about helping the poor and making a personal change to change the world respectively when you pay attention to the lyrics.

When listened to closely, almost all of Micheal Jackson's songs have a deep meaning and they all tell something about his personality and his life. Besides MJ's, many other songs by other artists convey alot of emotions and meanings. I guess this is why there are so many love songs, because songs are the best way to convey true emotions. Despite all of mankinds wrong doings, we can make some pretty wonderful stuff with just words and music.
