Michael Jackson..

MJ died a week ago. I grew up listening to songs like Jam with the glass breaking intro, Black or White, Beat it and of course, Dangerous. He is someone who stole the hearts and minds of many. Somehow while watching the various videos of his performances around the world, its not really what he does on stage that captivates me, the audience and how wild they go. They go into a trance. But you cant fault them, MJ was unique in everything.

His ankle length pants, his glittery glove, his white socks, his black flat hat, his Moonwalk, and of course, he had the beat in every song. Beats, expressions and whole of desire to express himself led him make me feel that yes, there are singers out there who are not trained to sing, but are born to sing. Such talent doesnt come often. MJ, you rocked the world!!

One thing is for sure, all those MJ wannabes, have found the stage to let the MJ philosophy live on.

M9's Top Song for the Week

It's been a long wait for the next song to make it to No.1 of Manish's Top Ten list. Well, the wait is over. This song has a good tempo to it, the lyrics are rather decent, but the emotions and variation of pitch that the singer packs in the song is solid as well as the beat and use of instruments. Here goes...

National Day is coming up and for the third year running, I dont have tickets once again. If you are not going for NDP, pls do forward your tickets to me. I need my NDP dose.

To possess a passion for living..

Passion for living. That's something special for anyone to possess. Regardless of the situation one is in, the kind of condition, financial condition, family or friend, to take everything into your stride and work on the negatives and thrive on the positives.

There is no way one can plan their whole life out. Be prepared for plenty of changes along the way. Laugh and live. Possess the passion for living.
