After Michael Jackson passed away I was so touched
by the number of people who told me that they thought of me when it happened.
Even people that I grew up with but had lost contact with over 20 years
ago remembered how fanatical I was about Michael Jackson. The truth is
that I had forgotten how much I loved MJ. It's sad. The music is so
timeless that I see young children today who share in the
same fervent love for his music as I did over 25 years ago.
Tonight I attended the Cirque du Soleil show, "The
Immortal". I went in blind - I had no idea what to expect.
I've been disappointed by Cirque shows in the past, where I felt that
they were too bourgeoisie for my taste.
More recently though, I saw the Cirque show “Believe” in Las Vegas which
was thoroughly entertaining.
The one thing that I did hear about this tribute to MJ prior to seeing
the performance was a tweet stating that if you are in any way a fan of MJ,
this show is a must-see. I absolutely
concur.
I was very touched by this show.
It went beyond being an absolute fitting tribute to the beauty of MJ’s
soul. I imagined that this would have
been a show that MJ himself would have been happy to have been a part of. I felt that wherever his spirit was that, he
was seeing this show and he was proud of it.
They captured his very essence, his message and his music.
