Michael is very well known for his music and dance moves, he also can act and write poetry, and lot's of other thing that only a few people know. His other talent is drawing, he's a very good artist, since he was a kid he taught himself how to draw and until he grows up he never takes art class. Below are a few of MJ's hand drawn sketch :
Drawn in the BAD era
Paint medium on a paper by Michael when he was 9 years old
Believe it or not the drawing above is drawn by Michael when he was 9 years old
Magical child once felt a twinge A faint recollection, a memory unhinged In the colors, the forms, the hue There seemed a mystery with a subtle clue Behind the wind, the storm, the gale Within the shroud, beyond the veil Hidden from view in a wondrous pattern There seemed a force that he could not fathom Its music and cadence were playful and sweet He danced in bliss to its throbbing beat He did not mind either cold or heat On the mountain high was his royal seat
Strangers came and scorned his joy With ridicule and banter they tried to destroy What in their minds was a skillful play With cruel darts they tried to plunder To suffocate and strangle his innocent wonder Fighting hard, despite their blunder Again and again to steal his thunder Despite their attacks, they could not break With all their barbs they could not take God's gift of love, which they could not fake Not knowing his strength or what he sought to seek They complained aloud and called him a freak
But the mysterious force just kept its hold Magical child grew brave and bold Diving deep into his soul In exquisite ecstasy he discovered his role In his Self was infinite scope This mysterious force was mankind's hope Piercing through that mask of Being In that silence beyond all seeing Was a field with a different story A field of power, of awesome glory With other children, if unfurled Its tidal wave would change the world
Magical child was ready to bow Sow the seed, pick up the plough With effortless ease, without a sigh Without a tear, without a cry With silent perfection Under God's direction To sing together as one race Stem the tide, transform this place
Magical children, don't worry how Don't delay, this moment's now.
This poem was written by Michael himslef in the 1992, and this was included in the "Dancing The Dream" book. Below is part 1 of "Magical Child"
MAGICAL CHILD PART 1
Once there was a child and he was free Deep inside he felt the laughter The mirth and play of nature's glee He was not troubled by thoughts of hereafter Beauty, love was all he'd see
He knew his power was the power of God He was so sure, they considered him odd This power of innocence, of compassion, of light Threatened the priests and created a fright In endless ways they sought to dismantle This mysterious force which they could not handle
In endless ways they tried to destroy His simple trust, his boundless joy His invincible armor was a shield of bliss Nothing could touch it, no venom, no hiss The child remained in a state of grace He wasn't confined in time or place In Technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed
Soothsayers came and fortunes were told Some were vehement, others were bold In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature With the rest of the world he shared no feature Is he real? He is so strange His unpredictable nature knows no range He puzzles us so, is he straight? What's his destiny? What's his fate?
And while they whispered and conspired Through endless rumors to get him tired To kill his wonder, trample him near Burn his courage, fuel his fear The child remained just simple, sincere
All he wanted was the mountain high Color the clouds, paint the sky Beyond these boundaries, he wanted to fly In nature's scheme, never to die
Don't stop this child, he's the father of man Don't cross his way, he�s part of the plan I am that child, but so are you You've just forgotten, just lost the clue
Inside your heart sits a Seer Between his thoughts, he can hear A melody simple but wondrously clear The music of life, so precious, so dear
If you could for one moment know This spark of creation, this exquisite glow You would come and dance with me Kindle this fire so we could see All the children of the Earth Weave their magic and give new birth To a world of freedom with no pain A world of joy, much more sane
Deep inside, you know it's true Just find that child, it's hiding in you.
And on this post i'm going to show the pictures from Ben Era.

Hi guys, sorry i haven't post anything for a couple of days, but i'm here now =) Today i'm going to post about Michael Jackson favorite song and it is Charlie Chaplin's "Smile". This song is composed by Charlie Chaplin himself in the 1936, and written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons in 1954. This song is originally sung by Nat King Cole in 1954. MJ also recorded this song in his HIStory : Past, Present, and Future Book 1, it was planned to be released as the eighth and final single from the album in 1998 but was canceled days before its release date. Michael never sing this song live but on his final concerts of the HIStory World Tour, the song was played at the beginning of each concert in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales. In Living With Michael Jackson, he mentioned the song while at Neverland and sang it while he was in Las Vegas. Below i will share a video of Smile by Michael Jackson and it's lyric but this video is a fan video because there's no official video. ENJOY =)
Smile
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by
If you smile With your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just
Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by
If you smile Through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
Today i'm going to post about Michael's first solo debut album, and it was "Got To Be There". This album released by Motown Records in January 24 1972, Got To Be There album was sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide.
Motown released MJ's solo album around the same time with the another famous artist : Donny Osmond, who was hitting with songs like "Sweet & Innocent" and "Puppy Love". "Got To Be There" (at #8) and Donny's "Hey Girl/I Knew You When" (at #9) were back to back on the Hot 100 on 15 January 1972. MJ's and Donny's debut efforts almost paralleled each other, as Michael scored a hit with the title track and "Rockin' Robin", which like Osmond's "Puppy Love", was a remake of an old '50s rock song.
Those two hits were back to back on the Hot 100 at #5 and #6, respectively, on April 8, 1972. Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" (at #27) and Osmond's "Too Young" (at #28) would be back-to-back on the Hot 100 on June 24, 1972. The album also included covers of BillWithers "Ain't No Sunshine", Carole King's "You've Got A Friend" and The Supremes' "Love Is Here And Now You Gone".

Hello to all MJJFam, how are you guys? Today i create this blog because i got a homework to create a blog and the theme is free. And the first thing that pops in my head is creating a blog about Michael Jackson =) I'll post about many things about Michael like his albums, songs, MVs and a lot more. I'm not a blogger kinda person but i'll try my best to develop this blog.
And for my first post i'll post my favorite Michael Jackson song, and it is "For All Time" from BAD album. And below i'll post the video and lyrics of "For All Time". ENJOY!!!
For All Time
Sun comes up on this new morning
Shifting shadows, a songbird sings And if
these words could keep you happy I'd do anything
And if you feel
alone, I'll be your shoulder With a tender touch, you know me so
well Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters Baby, who can really
tell when two hearts belong so well
Maybe the walls will tumble And
sun may refuse to shine And when I say, I love you Baby, you gotta
know (That's for all time) Baby, you gotta know (That's for all
time)
Moon shines down on this good evening One warm kiss in this cold
night air For this good love undeceiving I'll go anywhere, just as long as
you are there
And maybe the walls will tumble And
sun refuse to shine When I say, I love you Baby, you gotta know (That's
for all time) Baby, you gotta know (That's for all time)
The sun in
me All these words that young lovers say
And maybe the walls will
crumble And sun refuse to shine And when I say, I need you Baby, you
gotta know (That's for all time) Baby, you gotta know (That's for all
time)
Baby, you never know (That's for all time) Baby, you gotta
know (That's for all time)
Baby, you gotta know (That's for all
time) Baby, you gotta know (That's for all time, that's for all time,
that's for all time)
See that you'll never go (That's for all
time) Baby, you never know (That's for all time)
