Music Lyrics to Childhood by Michael Jackson

In Michael Jackson's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 1993, Jackson stated that the words to his song Childhood would best discribe himself so that people would know him.

Check out the Lyrics:
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood...

No words can I write to say how sad I feel tonight. It can only be felt when you hear the words of his daughter saying good-bye to her father. God bless Michael, rest in peace.

Best Video of Michael Jackson Dancing

I love this video of Michael Jackson. It is my best video because it is very different from his other videos. This song is on his "Black or White" CD. The name of the song "In the Closet" first creates an image in your mind but the song definitely does not display that thought. Watch this video and see what I mean about being different, a rather seductive Michael.

I especially love when he dances in the door frame. The voice of the woman is the song is Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

Michael Jackson Video of Moonwalk

The moonwalk was a signature move of the King of Pop.

While researching to write the content for the History of Michael Jackson I became very curious as to where this dance move came from. As my source, wikipedia was very informative with the history of the moonwalk.
Here's some trivia about the moonwalk:

• First known as the back slide or "walking on your toes".


• Originated from dancer Fer Ramos.


• A similar move can be remembered from the Blues Brothers when James Brown used the move in this 1980 film.


• Jackson first performed the "moonwalk" in 1983 when he preformed live on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever Special. Jackson showed off the “moonwalk” while singing "Billie Jean".

Now watch Billie Jean Best Ever Moonwalk, it appears since his first moonwalk he perfected it beyond our imagination!


Check out Wikipedia for other facts about the Moonwalk.

Is Randy Jackson Michael Jackson's Brother?

So many people ask me this question and in the wake of the events in the last 2 days, I think we will all know who Michael's brothers and sisters are.

Brothers are: Sigmund "Jackie", Toriano "Tito", Jermaine, Marlon, Steven "Randy"
Sisters are: Rebbie, Janet and La-Toya Jackson

Now who is Randy Jackson? Randy Johnson is the American Idol judge. He was a 20 year Grammy winning producer.

No, Michael Jackson was not Randy Jackson's brother.

The King of Pop Is Gone

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop is gone. His Final Curtain Call - "This Is It" tour will never happen. I know so many people are disappointed and devastated. Michael Jackson certainly was the King of Pop. Long live his songs and dances.

Growing up in the 80's I can recall, a different Michael than the world knew in the past 10 years. Michael was an icon, a legend. He created music and choreographed his own dances like no one else. His music made you dance. It made you cry. It made you love. It made you creep into the cemeteries at night singing Thriller. Thriller brought the popularity of music videos. He made MTV a staple name in our homes.

Setting fashion trends, Michael inspired many jackets: HIStory Tour Jacket, gold-plated military style jacket with belt in the Bad era, Red space jacket from Thriller, and Beat It zipper style jacket. A single crystal encrusted glove. The aviator sun-glasses. Tight, high-water pants. Black jeans, white t-shirt and black loafers.

Back in the 80's we didn't look at him as weird. He was unique, he was a sensation, we loved his music and the theatrical moves inspired us. Color, dance moves, make-up, he was amazing to us.

We all will remember Michael Jackson in a different light depending on what time in his career that he touched our lives. Perhaps to some they remember the Jackson 5, his solo career or the controversary in the last decade. Myself, I see the dancing maniac always shocking the world with a new style, dance or #1 hit.

Many of may think of him as somewhat of a chameleon - changing colors, changing fashions, changing behavior - perhaps changing constantly trying to find his true self.

Last night as I sat watching TV listening to many comments about the King of Pop. I think what brought tears to me was when Ben Brafman made the statement that Michael was one of the loneliest people ever met . How sad to be surrounded by so many people yet be so alone.
It made me think back to a past interview of Michael Jackson – he told his audience to listen to this song - that it is the most biographical song he ever wrote.

The song was “Childhood”

Lyrics of Childhood

Have you seen my Childhood?I'm searching for the world that I come from'Cause I've been looking aroundIn the lost and found of my heart...

God rest your soul, Michael! RIP
