How can one figure out what to say upon hearing of the passing of someone like Michael Jackson? Even that statement doesn't make any sense; there is, and never will be, anyone else like Michael Jackson. There aren't many celebrities who we can look to and come close to what Michael Jackson has meant to so many of us throughout our lives. The closest names we can think of are Brooke Shields and Sammy Davis, Jr.They make the list because they were in the public eye since they were children, Brooke with her first advertisements at the age of 10, and Sammy when he was performing with his father and bandmates from the age of 3. No one can ever replace the work Michael has done for not just music, but the world.
Michael Jackson, in a weird way, aged in reverse, almost like Benjamin Button, the movie with Brad Pitt. As a child, he was already an adult beyond his years, helping the family make deals, being the leader of his singing group from the age of 5, and singing and dancing as though he was already a seasoned performer for years.
His movie was also produced, and it would be great for any fan to see his final production before his untimely death.
