I cannot seem to get this song out of my head! I'm annoyed that this video is so dark. It obscures one of my favorite parts of the video too. Oh, well.
Gon' do yo thang, Mike!
Three days later, I still cannot believe it. Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop, is dead at fifty years old.
I have neither the time nor the coherence to properly post on his passing. I do wish love, comfort and prayers to his children, his family and anyone who has ever been touched by his musical genius.
These two songs have been close to my heart these last three days. For Michael, for me and for his fans:
Here's an excellent article from music critic Nelson George.
You Are 64% A Child of the 80s
Not only did you experience the 80s...you are practically an expert.
You should be totally stoked!
Oh, I am! Whoo-hoo! Although, really, my percentage should have been higher!
I have been jamming the hell out of this song! I love it! It reminds me of back when MJ was making incredible music, not just tabloid fodder.
I can't say that I like the video much, except the parts when Ne-Yo is singing & dancing, channeling his inner MJ. It's your typical r & b video, requisite light-skinned chick with long hair, dirty make-out scenes and lots of skin.
But I might have to check this cat Ne-Yo out because he is pretty smooth. I liked his song "So Sick" when I heard it on the readio....but not enough to listen to anything else of his. But "Because of You" made me track his stuff down, after I finished bobbing my head, wiggling in my chair and channeling my inner MJ!
