Man In The Mirror

Up to now, the news about the death of the 'King of POP' Michael Jackson didn't rest into its own peace. The latest news about him is still on the search for his 'mysterious death'! Still no conclusion for the real cause!


We could deny the fact that Jacko made a variety of contributions worldwide. His songs were really an inspiring masterpieces.

Besides his rock and pop hits, Jacko could also be remember with his songs promoting peace and welfare. If you could still remember his hits like "We are the World" and "Heal the World (Make it a Better Place)", he's really an ambassador of peace! Music videos of these songs showcased peace, unity, and welfare of the poor around the world.

Seeing some of his videos on MYX, I was also inspired with his another song. In this music video, you won't see any appearance of Michael Jackson. Instead you will see poor people, dark children without homes, helping hands between one another, peace and unity worldwide. This particular song is the "Man in the Mirror".



Surprisingly, this song was also revived by our favorite American Idol, Kris Allen. It is part of his album. Well, hearing both the original version from Jacko and the latest new version from Kris, the song sounds very good. The message was still retained and more feelings and emotions were putted on the song.

Hmmm...if you want to listen to Kris Allen's version, you may scroll down my playlist on the left side. And of course, can't help to see the message? I'll give you the lyrics. So, feel and understand the inspirational song of Jacko with its lyrics and relax and enjoy as you listen to Kris Allen's version! c",)




Man In The Mirror
(Michael Jackson / Kris Allen)

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right.

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-Out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways-Ooh!)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and then make that...)
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
(Man in the mirror-Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)

You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know... That man

No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...

I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it. Yourself!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)

You got to
You got to not let yourself...
Brother...
Hoo!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
You know-I've got to get that man, that man...
(Man in the mirror)

You've got to
You've got to move! Come on! Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah-Make That Change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Aaow!
(Yeah-Make that change)
Gonna make that change... come on!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know...
(Change...)
Make that change

Happy

Can get enough of Michael Jackson's hits? Are you still on the heat of MJ's death? Well, I still allot this page for our "King of POP"!

I don't even know why is that when the person died specially the famous one, all his hits were sold out (buyers even asked for more)?! Why is that when he is still alive, his hits were not even patronized? Well, its just only supports the saying, "you will only realized the value of the person when he is gone!" Hmmm...it's true for both Michael Jackson and Francis M.



Again, here is another hit from MJ way back in 80's. But did you also heard the revival of this song? Yup, this was done by the 'Little Big Star' winner Sam Concepcion. It was aired over the radio last year.

Just like Michael Jackson, Sam made a great revision of the song. You may want to hear his version, just scroll down my playlist! As we always do, I provide you with the lyrics of the song, 'Happy'! So, stay happy as you listen and read this song! c",)




Happy
(Michael Jackson / Sam Concepcion)

Sadness had been close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was

Happy, that?s you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I till you came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
(till now)

Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was till now

She's Out Of My Life

"Michael Jackson is Dead!!!" These are the four words that shocked the news last Friday morning! I first heard the news on our morning AM radio news update before going to work. The reporter thought that it was only a false alarm, but afterwards, it was confirmed!



It was really a shocking news that day and even for now. TV, radio, internet, newspapers...all content is Michael Jackson. Even the Music channels like MTV, Channel V, and MYX, gave tributes to the 'King of POP'! MYX channel gave a 24-hour music videos of the hits of MJ. I was amazed seeing those videos. I like his music videos...you are like watching a box-office movies seeing them!

I was also able to see from the different music videos of Michael Jackson his transition looks...from dark child, then to a young dark man...eventually now turning to a very very white complexion with curly/straight hair and with a clep chin.



Hearing the different songs of MJ reminds me of my childhood days. He grabbed the hit chart on 80's. I was also born on mid-80's. I remember on my childhood days, our radio was hitted by the songs of Michael Jackson. And of course during the christmas season. MJ made a various hit christmas songs specially during when he was a member of Jackson 5 group. It's trully a reminscing moments to look back!

Well, for this reasons, I alloted this page for the King of POP. Yeah, admit it or not, the songs of MJ created a spot in my heart. Hmmm...maybe I will give you a marathon of Michael Jackson songs that really gave a hit both on his time, and to our present time.

To start with, I know all of you knows this song. Yup, I was first saw Michael Jackson's video of this song last night. It really a sentimental one! He was too painful singing this song.

Fastforward to the present, this song was then revived by Josh Groban in 2004. I was touched by this song during this time. Yup, because during that time was the departure of my love going to Dubai. I was really hurt that time. I was felt the song specially the lines saying, "So I'ved learned that love is not possesion...and I'ved learned that love won't wait! I really cried because of that incident! As I said before, I decided to took my engineering course to counter attack the love I've lost!

To let you feel Michael, Josh, and Rocky's pain, here is the lyrics of the song 'She's Out of My Life'!







She’s Out of My Life
(Michael Jackson / Josh Groban)

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late and

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
