Joachim de Posada found that most of the kids who resisted the urge to eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes while an adult left the room became successful in their later years while the same was not true for those kids who ended up eating the marshmallow right away.
Michael Jackson proves, in a really sort of perverse way, that maybe we’re not as offended by behavior as we are entranced by music. And think about that. Think about what level of quality you must have to attain to have somebody say, “I know that you’re accused of having molested children, but I can’t hate you for that as much as I love you for your music.” I’m not saying that’s right or wrong; I’m saying that it’s fascinating. That somebody could be that great. That somebody could have that much of a marriage with your emotions just through music.
Despite all of the horrible things said about Michael Jackson, the fact remains that he made great music that transcends any doubt about his character. It’s this characteristic that made Michael continue to succeed despite harsh criticism.
In this day and age, I can only compare him to Chris Brown whose career is scarred forever because of his altercation with Rihanna. You don’t see Chris Brown bouncing back as popular do you? No, no you don’t, and that’s because he’s no Michael Jackson. Not even close.
One of the prettiest women in music sat down with a camera to talk about the widespread success of her song, “Paper Planes”. M.I.A. may look a bit heavier here than usual, but that’s because she’s pregnant and expecting her first child with Ben Brewer.
If for some reason you have no idea what “Paper Planes” is, then I recommend you listen to the remix album of “Paper Planes” and get with it!
