My boys, 10 and 8, love Michael Jackson!
Last year they were watching some "Weird Al Yankovick" videos and they saw his songs "Eat It" and "Fat" and thought they were funny. So I told them they would find the parodies even funnier if they saw what the original was...so I brought out my Michael Jackson DVD and showed them "Beat It" and "Bad"...and then they wanted to see all the videos on the DVD. All they could say was "Wow!".
Then they watched his DVD all the time and loved most of the songs, mostly Thriller and Billie Jean and The Way You Make Me Feel.
They hadn't listened for a while until MJ's death and then they wanted to hear all the songs again. They are still saying "Wow!" lol.
Plus my husband who was never really into MJ, when we are playing the music he walks in the room and says, "Yeah, I guess he was good wasn't he?"
They are also determined to master the Moonwalk, lol.
Oh one more thing, they are also learning to appreciate his slower songs now. When I was playing, "Heal the World" they kept saying, no no put on Thriller. But now they ask for Heal the World too. RIP MJ, we love ya.
