The song I am going to write for this assessment is going to be about 'Privacy.' I chose to do this because, I was listening to a bunch of songs to get a basic idea. Originally I was going to write something based on war like five finger death punch. But I wanted to do something completely different, because a lot of the songs now a days are either about love or war.
My dad suggested writing something about privacy and then that just got me thinking. I quite liked this idea so I stuck to it, all I needed now was an article to support my choice. And immediately I thought "Michael Jackson wanted privacy all the time, he was never left alone."
I then began searching up a lot of Michael's newspaper articles, and he has quite a lot. I found one titled "I'm better of dead, I'm done." and started reading it. It had a lot of information on 'what Michael wanted' and he just wanted to be left alone.
THE ARTICLE:
There was a few parts that really stood out like:
"It was greed that killed Michael Jackson." - The writer wasn't saying that Michael is greedy, he was saying that people are. Everybody wanted more and more of Michael and wouldn't leave him alone.
"Some liked to snigger at his public image." - Again people never gave him a break. They wanted more of him, but used to laugh at him.
"He was feeling suicidal." - He got sick and tired of everyone trying to take him to court and accusing him of 'molesting' children. Damage was all ready made to his career, reputation and himself.
"His accusers lacked credibility and were motivated primarily by money." - People just wanted to take him to court to see if they can make money out of the case. All people care about is money.
"Close to complete breakdown." - Again all the accusations and people not leaving him be.
"He can stand. The treatments have been successful. He can even dance once he gets in better shape. He just can't sing," said the aide, adding that Jackson would have to lip-synch to get through the performance. Nobody will care, as long as he shows up and moonwalks." - People just want money, they don't care that they are killing Michael, they just want the money. He was getting forced to do something he said he couldn't do. His people were trying to force it on him.

WHAT I THINK:
I know that this song sounds like it's going to be depressing. But I don't want it like that. I want it to be not too depressing because that's what I think Colin is expecting. I don't want it to be too happy and jolly because the article I have chose isn't like that.
I'm hoping that this song will turn out how I'm expecting it. Can't wait to see.
