Micheal Jackson's Death

Who among us do not recognize the very famous singer and dancer? Well he is not really my favorite but I have his songs as my favorite. Not just a favorite but one of my all time favorite.

Before I will say the title of my favorite song, I would like to tell you also that I am not very much emotional on his death. In fact I was not shocked when the news came that he was dead. However, yes! I do admire him but he is not the best for me, neither I do not see him as someone to be "idolized". The simple fact is that I just like his high pitched voice especially when he was still young.

Now, the title of the song I liked very much in which he was the original singer, maybe he wrote that is the..... DRUM BEATS....

1. One Day in Your Life and BETTER VERSION
2. Ben (go look for it in youtube)

I give emphases on these two songs because even before when I was young, I still do not even know who sang these songs, I already liked them. The melody and its rhythm is truly appealing to me ears and this I really love these songs. There are also other songs I liked from him but these two are the best for me.This only proves my melancholy.

Still I would give tribute to his very rare talent!

Francis Magalona

One of my favorite singer in the 90s. I remember the days on my grade school days where we dance the song of Mr Francis M.'s "Mga Kababayan Ko" with a few lines of its lyrics: "Mga Kababayan ko, dapat lang malaman mo, bilib ako sa kulay ko ako ay Pilipino, mayrung itim at may puti, meron namang kayumangi, isipin mo na kaya mong abutin ang yun minimithi.... " This is my favorite song that he ever sang on those younger days I have. I a can have nostalgic feeling when I hear the song.

I was watching Eat Bulaga on Friday noon, March 6 unaware that Francis M. passed away. I did not even notice any of Eat Bulaga's hosts showing grief and sadness for the loss of their co host.

Excerpt from wikipedia.com

Starting out as a breakdancer in the early 1980s, he followed in his parents' footsteps and ventured out into acting, appearing in several Filipino movies; he branched out to emceeing and released the groundbreaking album Yo! in 1990 garnering the nationalistic hit Mga Kababayan (My Countrymen), making Yo! the first commercially released Pinoy rap album in the Philippines. While rapping politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes in both English and Tagalog, the album was a big success and instantly helped catapult Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status, also marking the birth of Makabayang or Nationalistic rap in Filipino hip hop.

In 1992, Francis Magalona released Rap Is FrancisM (1992), which was highly regarded as one of the greatest Pinoy Rap albums. With tracks addressing the various cultural and social problems that plagued his country such as drug addiction in "Mga Praning" (Paranoids), political instability in "Halalan" (Elections) as well as the detrimental effects of a colonial mentality in "Tayo'y Mga Pinoy" (We Are Filipinos), the record's complexity and conscious message quickly earned it its classic status and became the standard by which future albums of the genre were to be compared.

Health

Magalona, 43, was diagnosed on August 8, 2008, with leukemia at the Medical City Hospital, Pasig. He appealed for privacy.

I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family. What I’d rather talk about is how we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital. It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas (it did not come out so suddenly). We don’t want to use the word ‘curable,’ but the doctors say it’s treatable.
—Pia Arroyo-Magalona, Francis’ wife

After his treatment and discharge, he made his return on Eat Bulaga together with Ely Buendia, who was also recently discharged.

Death

On March 6, 2009, it was reported that Francis Magalona succumbed to acute myelogenous leukemia at 12:00 noon that day, a few days after his fourth chemotherapy session and a few days before his supposed stem cell transplant. The announcement was first made on Eat Bulaga!, a variety show of which he had been a host prior to his health problems.
