So, I have the flu this week and to pass the time I'm watching "This is it". (Michael Jackson's last documentary.) I hadn't expected to want to show it to my music students, but now I think I will. There are some things about him and his work ethic I want them to see.
Now, I know I'm not the only one who is super annoyed by the hypocrisy of people over the whole Michael Jackson death thing. For years, the public perception was that he was a crazy pedophile. Then, as soon as he died, boom! Instant genuis/success/idol/etc overnight. Okay so in his personal life, he was a mess, had too much plastic surgery, and you'd let NEVER let your kids around him. But---in his professional life, he really was fantastic at what he did. A true performer.
What I want my students to learn from Michael Jackson:

But---in his professional life, he really was fantastic at what he did. A true performer.
What I want my students to learn from Michael Jackson:
- Work Hard - Most shows these days make it look like good performances just happen spontaneously, without rehearsal. Most kids think that they can just "free-style" it on stage and something good will happen. I have a hard time convincing them that a good performance take hours of rehearsal. Well, this documentary shows just how hard and how many hours of work Michael put in behind the scenes. Say whatever you want about him, but the man was NOT lazy! He was committed to his work.
- Be Unique - Michael had his own style. In clothes, in dance moves, in music. He did not look or sound like anyone else! I don't want my students to imitate other, successful musicians. I want them to develop their own style.
- Know Your Music - Michael knew his music inside and out. Every key, tempo, pause, sound effect, etc. He knew exactly what he wanted to hear and was not afraid to ask for it.
- No Diva Fits - You hear a lot about famous singers having diva fits, but did you ever hear about Michael having one? This documentary showed him letting people know when things weren't right, but he did it respectfully. No shouting or anger. Just "hey, this isn't here and I need it to be. Fix it."
- Be Able to Bring It! - In an age where so much reliance is given to digital editing and things like autotune, it's valuable for a performer to really be able to sing (or play) without electronic help. Michael sang his shows live and was in tune. You hear people like Tayler Swift and Justin Beiber sing live, and they're a quarter tone flat! Also, I bet if Michael were to sing the National Anthem, he would've gotten the words right!
- Be the BEST at What You Do - 'Nuff said.

Hello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.

Here is the wonderful thing Dr Reethesh did for me that saved my home. I was having serious trouble in my marriage, Things weren't going fine between me and my wife, we were always fighting ourselves for no good reason and this issue almost ended up killing ourselves during any fight we had. But thanks to Dr Reethesh for coming to our rescue. On this day after me and my wife had an argument she left the house. After she left I came back to my senses. It's just like something bad left my body. So I told myself that I need to look for a solution. That's how I went online and did some research so I came across good review testimonies about Dr Reethesh how he has been helping a lot of people in restoring their broken home. So I reached out to Dr Reethesh and explained myself to him, After he did everything he needed to do. He explained to me that the person behind me and my wife's troubles is my Ex-girlfriend. She wants my wife to leave me alone so she can take the place of my wife. I asked Dr Reethesh what the solution was and he told me what needed to be done. So I paid for all the items needed. When Dr Reethesh did his work the rest was history. Dr Reethesh was able to destroy the evil spell my Ex-girlfriend did to destroy my home and helped me to bring everything back to normal between me and my wife. My wife and I apologized to ourselves and made peace with ourselves. Today me and my lovely wife are living happily together without any troubles.

ReplyDeleteHow my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself. Please be careful about some persons you call your friend. I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city. So one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control. I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR WALE telling me that DR WALE will save my marriage. When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR WALE found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR WALE went forward to say they were both having an affair together. So DR WALE did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR WALE my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR WALE has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now. If you want back your Ex-partner DR WALE is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
