~*sMiLe*~

No doubt, the king of pop have passed away. Alot of people was saying that they are more connected with his songs after his death, as his musics really does means "something".
I grew up with his music, but the musics doesn't mean much to me.


Later the years, there were more wonderful songs made by him. He was being named the "Wacko Jacko"... well, because of this, I have drifted away from his music too.

During his memorial service, when his brother mentioned that his favourite song is not even one of his own msucis, yet it is Smile by Charlie Chaplin. I searched in Youtube and found the clips and the lyrics,... looking at his pictures slides, then I know why this is his favourite song.


All through his life, with all the news about him which was not so pleasant, he just responded with a smile on the face. Just like how the lyrics says... "... what the use of crying..."

So why not we just smile... even you are heartbreaking... aching...

Thanks for sharing my video :) I always felt that song represented him the best!

At the memorial, it was not his brother that said that smile was his favorite song though, it was his friend Brooke Shields, but his brother Jermaine did perform the song at the memorial though.

Really it was not his brother? I have missed Brooke Shields mentioned it then. :)

I went back and listened to some of his songs lately. His lyrics was just so pure and powerful.

Yea it was right before Jermaine performed the song that she mentionned it.

Yes they were and the lyrics that weren't his he'd perform like he wrote it, he always put his feeling in his music and that's one of the reasons why I admired him.
