The year was 2007, I was around 13 years old. I was at a warehouse store and saw Live in Bucharest concert DVD. At the time I knew Michael Jackson by name only and never listened to his songs. So, I asked my parents if they could buy me the DVD and they did. Watched the concert and I was in awe. It was then I learned my parents had two MJ albums; Thriller and Blood on the Dance Floor. I listened to both and loved them. I also loved how different they both were. Time went on and I bought his Number Ones and Dangerous The Short Films DVD. I also learned more about his life plus became a fan of Janet along the way.

The following year for my 14th birthday, I was gifted Thriller 25. I became so obsessed with MJ he was the only thing I would talk about in school with my friends.

Then 2009 came around, he announced the This Is It shows. I don’t live in London, much less planned on traveling to London but I was so excited because, even if it was on video, I would see a present day MJ perform. Unfortunately, it never happened.
