Michael Jackson has inspired a lot of people, especially me! I want to be as famous as he is. He loves children and he loves singing and dancing. He inspired me with his voice and dance and his care for other people. I have donated 100 dollars to Pennies for Peace because of him. I have tried to sing like him and I have tried to dance like him.
I love Michael Jackson and I will always be his number 1 fan. I don’t care what anyone says about him. He is one of a kind!
I love you MJ.

Michael has truly inspired me so much. His lyrics and music throughout the years kept me up. He also inspired me to become a R&B song writer. I’ve written titles like ‘Care For You’, ‘Baby You Are’ and many more. Thanks to Michael my song ‘Care For You’ has touched so many people even though yet it has been recorded.
Thank you Michael for your love, for your music and your songs that truly inspired me - I love you.

Michael has inspired me to sing, perform, write songs, and poetry. I do want to become a famous singer here in my life and work with Michael and many artists. I also have been inspired by his dancing and more. I love Michael Jackson and I always will.

I first heard Michael’s music when I was like 6 years old. My brother had the ‘Bad’ album on cassette tape and I used to listen to it constantly. This was when was injected Michaelmania!
When I got to the age of being inspired by Michael’s music, I was probably about 15, like when I fully understood the joys of music in general.
Music to me, from a young age, was about the medley and the beat, and it still is… but just with meaning.
I really believe God and Michael’s music has made me what I am today… and no, not a neurotic weirdo! LOL

Michael Jackson has inspired me to never give up on dreams, hope, life, and love. He has given me a gift that no other person in music has given me and that is all the love, and joy and hard work that he puts into his music. That when ever you hear a song you love to dance to and sing to and just have fun, that is what I see in Michael Jackson he puts all that and makes magic and dreams come to life. He has given me all that to make my dreams come true and that is to become a music magic maker just like him. Open all the doors to new things in life and to take what we have learned growing up to heart when it comes to making are dreams come true. Michael Jackson has given me all that and so much more. He was my first crush at three years old and I have loved him ever since not because he is so cute, (lol) but because he is Michael Jackson a loving and caring man that I so much love.
Thank you Michael Jackson for everything!

Well, where do I begin…
Coming from a childhood of abuse, I always told myself if Michael can, so can I, and the fact I’ve always been known to help others before myself.
As a young girl, if I saw someone in need I would help them.
But my first big test came in 1998 as I tried to help get people to join the Heal the World Foundation and was given the name Heal the World girl. As well as doing two 24 hour fasts to raise money for World Vision as a charity raise awareness about Africa.
From 1998 - 2001 I helped my church raise money for it charity Hope Worldwise. Helping them raise money to build children’s homes, villages, hospitals and help fund churches in India and China. As well as getting homeless people off the streets of London, by reaching out to them with food and having a good old talk.
As a veggie since the age of 13 years, I don’t like to see animals be hurt or used badly in any form, so I helped to get animal labs closed down and still trying with Huntington.
Between 1998 - 2001 I sponsored my first child living in Uganda via Plan International UK, paying £12 a month so that she could go to school, have clothes to wear and food to eat.. 2001 - Present I sponsored another child from Brazil.
I believe if I help a child poorer then myself, then someone from above will give me with what I need to survive day to day.
As a eco - warrior I think that recycling is very imported to do. Now that I have a family of my own I try to teach why it’s important to save our dying planet.
As Michael keeps saying Heal the World!
I still help out for the Britsh Heart Foundation as much as I can, when I get a day free.
As the saying goes…Heal our planet for our children’s, children and their childrens, children.
Peace!

I am now am trying to do the same helping heal the world trying to rid poverty and stop war and also helping children and the needy. I love you so much Michael you’re the best. Thank you for everything you’ve done in this world.

Michael has inspired me for many reasons but the most important one to me is that he uses his popularity to send messages about poor children all around the world in his songs and also not many people who had been through that much would make a comeback, that’s mainly how he inspires me! Every kid needs to idolize someone and Michael has been more than an idol to me!

Below is a poem by Lisa for Children Africa
Children Fighting For Life
Most children do not have to fight for life
There God Given Right, to Live a Happy Life
But So Many Children Living in Africa
