Michael Jackson is the greatest man the world could ever have but I as his fan had to face silly questions always as to why I love him so much. Many around me used to think he is a lunatic and nothing else. If I hate them I will be against the message of " Love" so I thought to rather enlighten them about his greatness which I did in a one minute speech. Here it goes:-

" If you come to this world knowing that you are loved and leave this world knowing the same all that happens in between can be dealt with"- King of Pop Michael Jackson. Why do I love Michael Jackson? Well this is the most weird question I have to unfortunately come across every time. All say there are better people than him so why are you so madly behind him. Well Michael is a singer, beat boxer, lyricist, instrumentalist, performer, mime, choreographer, video recorder, video maker, stage designer, set designer, costume designer, painter, poet , essayist, writer, etc. Remember I still add the word" etc". Can you find anyone as talented as him? Of course you cannot.In his 40 years of undefeated Pop music reign Michael sold over 256 million copies of his albums whose sales shot up to a thrice rate after his sad demise. In 1980s when Dance was a baseless form of art and those who wanted to learn dance did not have anyone to teach them but Michael only by showing his dance moves on T.V. inspired millions of dancers in India and all over the world. Today if you go and ask any choreographer who is your inspiration he will definitely not forget to mention the name of Michael Jackson. That is Michael Jackson. As Nelson George says in Pop music its very easy for a person to come out int he open, compose a few songs, be termed as a superstar and then be thrashed into the scrap heap of history.So to survive undefeated for not one or two but 40 long years one has to compose music which suits the changing needs of the changing generations which Michael did. You can find changes always from his album" Forever Michael" tho his recent " This Is It". In this world where winning one Grammy or one Guinness Book of World record is great, Michael won 13 Guinness book of world records and 17 Grammy's the last being " The Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award For Amazing contribution to the field of Music" which was received by his children on his behalf. If I go and ask do you know Elvis Presley none of them will say yes. If I ask do you know Beatles very few will say yes but if I ask do you know Michael Jackson all will say yes. In 1995 India was not exposed to the music other parts of the world Like America but when Michael visited India in 1995 , uneducated unethical street children though I am not supposed to sue the word unethical , uneducated children surrounded around him just to catch a glimpse of him. That is Michael Jackson.The reason why I am insisting so much on popularity is because it feels very sad to see that all remember him for the wrong reasons . When Michael came to light he broke Elvis' records, he broke Beatles's records, he broke every possible legend's records. The people around him became envious of him and started spreading false news about him.He forgave them and kept repeating" The weak can never forgive, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong".His talents are unmatchable and his legendary status is irreplaceable but you never find Michael throwing tantrums for this. If anyone comes near him no matter high or low , he just welcomes them with a smile and hugs them reminding that he is in this place just because of them. When Michael suffered burns during Pepsi Cola commercial he donated the complete money to establish a centre for the treatment of burn victims. He established the Heal The World foundation which helps the needy all over the world.As my friend says " Michael Jackson is the most genuine persons I have come across in my life. Genuinity is not something that is measured on a scale but is contained in the heart and those who saw Michael will definitely say that he is he is innocent at heart".Michael always wanted to give the children the love and play he was denied in his childhood because his father was an ambitious man who wanted all the nine children to become superstars. He gave toys to his driver's kids, built play things in Never land Ranch , welcomed thew children who wanted to stay with him, gave them biscuits and let them sleep on his beds when he slept on carpets but what he got in return? People accused him to be a pedophile, a murderer. . He came out in the open several times to prove this wrong but no one believed him. Unfortunately he is not with us but his inspiration will stay with us forever. I thank Mam for giving me a chance to speak here because this topic was very close to my heart. I thank all my friends, all my fellow Michael Jackson fans who made this speech possible. Thank you everyone.

Now all say I have delivered a great speech. They agree that they mistook Michael gravely. They never expected him to be so talented like this. I just did my job of sending this message to their hearts but the complete credit goes to the man whose achievements and greatness made this speech as awesome as it was.MIKE YOU ARE THE BEST. Love you till the last breathe the most.
