Two Faded Stars

It's sad when I look at this video clip of Michael Jackson and Britney Spears. This was back in 2001 at Madison Square Garden, New York City. This was in celebration of Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary (as a solo performer; his first single was "Got To Be There" in 1971).

Britney Spears was already quite a star then in that year, releasing her third album "Britney" in 2001 too. As fast as she rose to fame, things also went downhill as fast when she married Kevin Federline.

We all know what happened next and now she is back in the news though it's mostly bad; her dismal comeback performance at the latest Video Music Award and losing custody of her kids. As for Michael Jackson; he was that child that grew up too fast. None of us will really know how they feel or what they go through but I do know that stardom might not necessarily be a good thing. It's definitely harder when one is in the public eye 24/7.

So, here for now...enjoy this video, The Way You Make Me Feel - when Britney & Michael were happier and when the world was indeed a better place.
