Don't stop 'til you get enough

Gosh, "Will You be There (Hold Me)" is stuck in my head now. Jennifer Hudson did a good job. Of course, nobody can beat MJ.Sad eh, only after he is gone, everyone rushes to the record store and gets all his albums. Suddenly, everyone(myself included) is listening to his songs once again.

Maybe he was right in his song "Don't stop 'til you get enough''. Problem is ENOUGH is never enough.

I remember when he came up with "Earth Song" I used to wonder:-
What on Earth is he doing in the music video, screaming like mad????

As I grew up I realised that it was his style that made him stand out from other pop stars .And those days I used to think how nice if I could be like him(perhaps everyone else had similar thoughts)

1996 was the year I was brought on to stage by my electone teacher. That was the time I started getting into his dance moves. Haha... god... we were dancing and singing to Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" and not one of MJ's masterpieces but still there was that urge to be so very perfect like him :)

Like him, I enjoyed being on stage (well, at least until 1999 or 2000) You know, dancing for me was a challenge of course. :) My teacher used to be super duper strict and now when I think back, it was pressurising as hell.



Faster, why are u so slow????
To the left, not right
If you are not gonna perfect this dance, I'm gonna send you out of class!!!

Every Sunday for weeks, we practised and trust me sometimes it was pure torture. However, like Al Sharpton put it:-

Michael never stopped.

I didn't stop or pull out halfway. Glad that I did it :)




I just thank God I didn't have to dance solo. :P The day came... And maybe the only other person who would understand is Kristal Lee.

You see, I took a break when it wasn't my part and then... suddenly I was brought into my own world, forgetting that I was supposed to be dancing with the rest again.

So, obviously my teacher went :-

Faster! Your part already! How come you're not coming out???

Oops...

Thank goodness I managed to blend in with the rest and continued till the very end. I didn't know what to feel. Yalar... innocent 6-year-old, wert...

Wow, to think that MJ actually managed to be on stage/dance for 40 over years is... (again, I can't find the word to describe... English not working xD) Maybe, it was his time to go and RIP.


Oh man, I wanna replay the memorial again... Don't stop 'til you get enough =D
