One year without the King of Pop

All of us lived a sad long moment waiting for the tour "This is It", from Michael Jackson, a show that was supposed to happen in 2009, but didn't happen. It's really painful to accept that the most wonderful (or strangest, perhaps) popstar of this generation.
There were a lot of polemic about his life, for the example, he'd got an awful reputation of a pedo after Gavin Arvizo's judgement. It is said that he was born black too, and that's just a half of it. We don't believe Michael was a pedo or has some kind of prejudice against black persons, but some people still think that it's the truth.



This is the greatest Michael Jackson's album and the best album ever in selling: more than 54 million copies! After it comes Back in Black from AC/DC (42 million copies), Greatest Hits from The Eagles (39 million), Bat out of Hell from Meat Loaf (37 million) and Dark Side of The Moon from Pink Floyd (36 million). The difference between Thriller copies and the 2nd placed, Back in Black, is about 12 million copies.
Thriller had two great hits: Beat It (such an awful videoclip, but the music has a very good beat) and Billie Jean (the Eternal Moonwalk). Rede Globo was receiving videos of people trying to make the Moonwalk with feet, hands and even Moonwalking animals!
Thriller itself has an awesome videoclip (it was more sucessful than the music itself).
And than the Bad and Dangerous ages began. Bad was the last album Michael recorded uninjured.
With the percussion party Olodum in Salvador, recording the vidoeclip in Rio de Janeiro, the artist recorded the song "They Don't Care About Us". It's videoclip, in our opinion, is almost as bad as Beat It's but as it the music is well-crafted (not enough to get into history).
Other minor records were HIStory, Blood On The Dance Floor, Invincible, Number Ones and The Essential.
Finally he recorded Thriller's 25th Aniversary in 2008 with his greatest hits. Injured, polemic and with a strange behavior, his debits were millions of dollars.
About a year past he suffered a heartbreak in his own home (LA). He was in Brazil three times: the first time was in 1974, he was 16 and the Jackson 5 were making a tour around South America, the second one was in 1993, he had two shows in Morumbi, and the third was in 1996 during the They Don't Care About Us records.
This is It shall be done by an orchestra in memory of him, but without him it won't be the same thing.
