Tribute to The King of Pop: Michael Jackson




Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his elder brothers
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in
popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the
moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous artists of various music genres.
Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other albums, including Off the Wall (1979),
Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling albums. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Dance Hall of Fame as the first and only dancer from pop and rock music. His other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records, 13 Grammy Awards, the Grammy Legend Award, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, 26
American Music Awards—more than any other artist—including the "Artist of the Century" and "Artist of the 1980s", 13 number-one singles in the United States during his solo career,—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and estimated sales of over 400 million records worldwide.[Note 1] Jackson has won
hundreds of awards, making him the most awarded recording artist in the history of popular music. He became the first artist in history to have a top ten single in the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades when "Love Never Felt So Good" reached number nine on May 21, 2014. Jackson traveled the world attending events honoring his humanitarianism, and, in 2000, the Guinness World Records recognized him for supporting 39 charities, more than any other entertainer.
Aspects of Michael Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated controversy. In the mid-1990s, he was accused of child sexual abuse, but the civil case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount and no formal charges were brought. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further child sexual abuse allegations and several other charges after the jury found him not guilty on all counts. While preparing for his comeback concert series titled This Is It, Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide, and his personal physician Conrad Murray was convicted of
involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief and a live broadcast of his
public memorial service was viewed around the world.

Sterling move sealed!


Manchester city have signed England winger Raheem Sterling from Liverpool for a fee of £49m on a five year contract, making him the most expensive English player in history. Sterling, who joined Liverpool from QPR in 2010, paid tribute to three Reds managers he has worked under, as well as agent Aidy Ward, who said in May that Sterling would not sign a new deal at Liverpool even if offered £900,000 a week. "The thing that excites me the most is the world-class squad we have and knowing we have a team that is capable of winning things year in, year out," Sterling said.

"I'd like to thank Rafa Benitez for taking me to Liverpool as a 15 year-old - that was a massive step for me and a new challenge. Also to Kenny Dalglish for showing such faith in me and putting me in at such a young age.

"I want to thank Brendan Rodgers for giving me a chance and an opportunity in the first team, and giving me a real chance to cement a place in the first team and show the world my talents.

"Finally, I'd also like to thank all the people around me - my mum and sisters, my management team and Aidy Ward for helping me focus and get where I am today."

Social Rejection


According to Wikipedia, social rejection can be defined as a deliberate exclusion of an individual from a social interaction or relationship. Social in this sense simply means a gathering to foster introduction or cooperating in groups. Studies have shown that since humans are social beings, to that extent, social rejection is inevitable. We have all been rejected in one way or another socially, but how did we manage that rejection? How did we separate what was and what was not? Transcending the illusion of rejection?. Rejection has been said to occur in two forms, it is either passive or active. Active involves teasing and bullying which can be associated with children and teens, while passive involves ignoring a person or giving the silent treatment which can be associated with adults.
  The experience of rejection can be subjective to the recipient and it is sometimes percieved when it is not there due to prolonged and consistent rejection. Truth is we humans have a need to associate and relate with one another and while we nurture that need and bask in the moment of want we are so overwhelmed that we forget that the factor "choice" is ingredient in every interaction or association because what we unconsciously do When we try to associate is we literally hand out a proposal that says I am going to be worth your while or you remind me of myself I think we will both enjoy our company. So in the process of trying to be funny, trying to sell, we lose sight of the what if's and what is next if my "proposal" is refused do we then see ourselves as not good enough? Or socially retarded? Do we then allow ourselves to become a case study where people make money off us and make theories and term us this and that? Do we then remain lonely? Have low self esteem? Be aggressive? Be depressed? Be immature? Have an impulsive behaviour? It is high time we started being confident about ourselves, it is high time we evolved, why should you be depressed when someone does not recognize your value? For goodness sake who is at a loss? Do not worry they will come around they always do, and if they don't, it is simply good riddance to bad rubbish. The truth is each and every one of us is awesome in our own little way and we deserve someone who will appreciate and value that awesomeness. So if we get rejected in the process of finding that person do not give up and become depressed, life is too short to let some blind persons decide how you live. So be cool with which you are irrespective of what you are, people will always have their opinion about you, well, that is why they call it an opinion, it does not count unless you want it to. The honest truth is rejection is inevitable even the most social people in the world also suffer rejection once in a while, so do not ever take it personal because it is never personal it is just life!!!
