We saw the Michael movie as a family yesterday, and it gave me all the feels.
I have to start by saying Jaafar Jackson did an incredible job embodying his uncle, Michael Jackson. Truly, I felt like I was actually watching Michael the entire time! You could feel the care, the respect, and the intention behind his performance. I can only imagine how proud Michael would be, smiling down and seeing his legacy carried with so much love.
The two emotions that stayed with me most were awe and sadness.
I was in awe of his musical genius and the way his artistry has impacted and continues to impact the world. I still can’t believe I got to live in the same era as Michael Jackson.
At the same time, I felt a deep sense of sadness for the parts of his life that longed for something more simple, a normal childhood, a sense of acceptance, and genuine connection.
There will never be another like him.
His soul truly felt… otherworldly.
With Love, Cné
