Michael Jackson: IMMORTAL

Last night my incredible fiance took me to the Amway Center to see Michael Jackson: the Immortal World Tour (by Cirque du Soleil). I've been one of Michael's biggest fans my entire life and I can't even put into words what I experienced when I saw Cirque's moving tribute to Michael and his legacy.

In true Cirque du Soleil style - EVERYTHING - about the show was top notch and nothing less than perfect! I think Michael would have been proud. What I loved the most about the show is that the creators of it 'got' Michael. They understood what a loving and compassionate human being he was, as well as how much he loved and cared for both Mother Earth and the children on this planet. The creators also understood what Michael's fans meant to him and how music was his true connection to Spirit.

Every musical number carried with it an important message - in addition to being visually stimulating and, ultimately, absolutely entertaining. I was overwhelmed by emotion on more than one occasion and was on my feet dancing like crazy by the end.

I miss Michael so much - it's hard to put into words. But last night, for the first time since his passing, I felt as if he was alive and well once again. He lives on through his music, of course. He also lives on through his fans. And, finally he lives on through every performer and musician in Immortal.

Thank you, Michael - for impacting my life (and my songwriting and music) in such incredible ways. Thank you for being a light in the darkness and thank you for your unending love.

And thank you, Cirque du Soleil for your heartwarming, toe tapping, incredible tribute to Michael - both the man AND his music.

Love always,
~Jen
