My day started on a bad note. Heard from my cousin early in the morning that my favorite and the hottest pop star of all times was no more, leaving me dumbstruck for a while.

As a child I was fascinated by the magician's dance movements, his moonwalking in particular, and his ability to sing while dancing.

I researched a lot about this crazy and enigmatic personality while writing a case study - Michael Jackson, The Rise and Fall of the King of Pop -  for my employer.

That's when I got to know about the Wacko Jacko's iconic and demi-god status and fall from grace.

The frantic US media has to be blamed for nearly 80% of his fate, my research said.

Leaving aside the nonsense spread by the media and people about him, Michael Jackson will remain the world's best pop singer and the greatest entertainer ever, at least on my chart busters.


The last five to six years had been very difficult for Michael, and was surrounded with myriad problems.
His death frees him from all the controversies, including the US media, once and for all.

May his soul rest in peace.
