In one day, both iconic stars have died, sending shock waves throughout the world. As one tweet puts it, “MJ and FF is now news at the speed of light”–thanks to Twitter and Facebook.
The King of Pop died of cardiac arrest, reports say. The beautiful and original Angel Ms. Farrah Fawcett succumb to cancer. MJ was 50, Farrah was 62.
If you were already born at those times when both were at the peak of their careers, they drew a lot of attention. Of course, who can forget the lovely Mrs. Majors (yes, of the six million dollar man) and the moonwalk. Since high school, we’ve been attempting to emulate that space walk-inspired move but have failed many times.
And Farrah. Oh my. ‘Nuf said.
I discovered Jackson during his “Thriller” days–same song which inspired hundreds of inmates in a Cebu prison. Every kid back then, including yours truly, admired MJ. He danced, he sang. I tried the former, but failed. I tried the latter and, er, somehow have made some progress. And his music videos were works of art. I’ve never seen so many screaming and crying fans on video when MJ goes on stage. To this day, one of my favorite guitar pieces is “Man in the Mirror.” (Tuck Andress created this beautiful arrangement of that song for the guitar).
When I entered college, my musical taste changed abruptly as I went for heavier sounds that bordered on noise. But while I headbanged to the music of Metallica and jumped around as I copied Van Halen, MJ’s music was always there–(Beat It, for instance, was one song where Van Halen was asked to play a monster riff), hovering.
MJ, has indeed made the world a better place for a lot of people, despite major bumps in his career. His music will live on. Thanks MJ!

MICHAEL JACKSON is my ultimate idol, the greatest of all-time. When i heard from an officemate that he died, i refused to believe and wanted to dismiss it as false news. How could that be when he’s preparing for his comeback concert in London and previous reports confirmed his good health and high energy. There was nothing that said anything about Michael being sick..but when i surf the net for confirmation and watched CNN, i was so devastated and in denial. My tears kept falling and before i knew it, i was crying so hard. The same way i cried when my dad passed away two months ago. I felt for the second time, my heart breaking and my mind spinning. Like the rest of the world, i am also mourning for the death of my idol. His music is the soundtrack of my life. I grew up listening and watching his music videos. My 12 year-old son has learned to love his music too. We watched together MYX channel’s tribute to MJ yesterday, a 24-hour marathon on his music videos. It was awesome! But it gave me mixed emotions, so much joy watching him, and extremely sad knowing that he’s gone. The tears seemed unstoppable after watching his ballads, Gone too soon, Childhood, Heal the World, I’ll be there and Ben.
Undeniably, Michael is one of a kind, nobody can surpass or equal what he has achieved and what he has become, the King of Pop and loved by millions of fans. I hope people will not talk on the controversies that he got involved (which mostly were the makings of bad media), should instead cherish his music that has inspired and touched our lives in so many ways.
I find consolation in believing that MJ is now in a better, safe place and in God’s loving care. Happy to know that my Dad will finally get to meet my idol. MJ will forever live in my heart, in the same way my Dad lives too.

In the 70’s we expect with so much anticipation to watch Charlie’s angel and see the gorgias Farrah. I love her hair and her athletic nature. She was truly gorgeous. I can also Michael, Jackson’s record “One Day In your Life” For me it was his best song ever. But sad to say, here on earth there’s an end to everything. But for me, they are immortal and will live forever in our hearts

Michael Jackson would still be remembered as the only King of Pop. We would surely miss him.
