RIP, MJ! I love that 'Don't Stop Till you get Enough' video...I know it's cheesy now by today's standards, but you can't resist the joy MJ exudes in that video...it's contagious! I can even do his high pitch yell...WOOOOOO!

Here I go again on my own....going down the only road I've ever known....like a drifter I was born to walk alone...I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time...so here I go again...here I go again....here I go aggaiiinn...here IIIII GOOOOOOOOO!!!! ((Whitesnake/Here I Go Again))


Everybody get on the floor, shake your booty, we're about to set it off...I love the way you 1, 2 step...I love the way you 1, 2 step....we're about to set it off! ((Ciara/1,2 Step))

Keisha Cole is pushing 30? Wow, time flies by so fast...congrats to her for living this long without kicking Frankie out of her life...she is a handful!

Tito and Fergie are in the 50 year old club...can you imagine the stories they can tell from the 80s? I'm sure they had a blast---do yall remember the whole Fergie/topless thing? I'm like 'this woman is a princess, she can do what she wants!'

Eric Benet...tsk tsk tsk...I'm sure he's still kicking himself from letting Halle Berry go...how could he cheat on such a beautiful person? Oh well---she's with Gabriel, has her daughter, and LOVING IT!

Good job Osprey! She does good don't she Chy? I heard yesterday the MJ is gonna be nominated in 5 categories for the music awards this year. One of which may be entertainer of the year. He deserves it cause you can't watch a video today that doesn't use the sensation he started in it. They all pale in comparison but they are still MJ based. Miss you MJ.
