I'm gonna make a change,
for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right . . .

As I, turn up the kraag on my
favourite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street,
with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see
their needs
A summer's disregard,
a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on
the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere
to go
That's why I want u to
know

I'm starting with the man in
the mirror
I'm asking him to change
his ways
And no message could have
been any clearer
If u wanna make the world
a better place
(If u wanna make the
world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and
then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and
then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na,
na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish
kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no
home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
pretending that they're
alone?

A willow deeply scarred,
somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of
the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place
to be
That's why I'm starting with
me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in
the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change
his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have
been any clearer
If u wanna make the world
a better place
(If u wanna make the
world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and
then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in

(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his
ways
(Change his ways-ooh!)
And no message could've

If u wanna make the world

(If u wanna make the
world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
then make that . . .
(Take a look at yourself and

Change!

I'm starting with the man in
the mirror,
(Man in the mirror-Oh

I'm asking him to change
his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have
been any clearer
(If u wanna make the
world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and
then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while
u got the time)
('Cause when u close your
heart)
u can't close your . . .your
mind!
(Then u close your . . .
mind!)
That man, that man, that
man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change
his ways
(Better change!)

Captain EO Fantasy: The Battle For Love Part 1

On a distant ruling planet, there was a girl who was stuck in prison. She never wanted her life to end this way...or so she thought. She had sent out a distress call to her dear friend, hoping he got it. All she had to do now...was wait. (Me: Now, I bet you're wondering what happened to her. I'll tell you...in a flashback.)
Before that happened, this girl spent her days at the training camp with her friend, Michael. She and Michael had brought their super soakers for their training...in shooting the enemy. Although, she didn't know, she missed one of the targets during training.

The dress that Rebecca had in mind when she was dreaming of her wedding when she was little

6 months later
Rebecca and Michael were 2 months away from being married. And during that time, Rebecca and Crystal were finding dresses for the wedding. They looked through the dresses, trying to find one that would work for Rebecca. "Hey, how about this one?" Crystal asked. Crystal showed Rebecca one of the dresses. It flowed like she wanted it. "It's really pretty. I'll go try it on." Rebecca said. Rebecca took the dress and went into the dressing room to change into it. After a few minutes, she came back out in the dress. "What do u think, Crystal?" She asked. Crystal turned and her jaw...

Rebecca's dad :o

A few months later
Rebecca was sitting on the ground, cross-legged, and playing with Brandon. She had a few of his toys out, too, so he could get used to playing with them. Brandon's hair was growing out a bit and she could literally put some of his hair in a low ponytail. She found it rather funny. Brandon's hair is rather curly, too. 'Definitely like his father.' Rebecca thought, helping Brandon stand up. Michael walked into the room and looked at Brandon and Rebecca and smiled. Then his face went from a smile...to shocked. Rebecca released Brandon's arms and he started walking! "He's walking?...

Once Crystal got home, she ran inside and went to her room and grabbed her phone. She immediately called Rebecca.
Back in the car
Isis and Rebecca were talking about different things, like baby showers and such. Soon, Rebecca's phone rang. "Hold on, Mom." She zei and picked up. "Yes?" "Rebecca! We have a problem!!" Crystal said, freaking out. "Whoa, whoa, Crystal. What's the problem?" "It's Josh! He threatened me to tell him where u were!! He's looking for you! He's wanting u back!" "What?! He lost his chance with me! Tell me what he told you." Crystal told Rebecca exactly what he had told...

After about a few hours, Rebecca woke up and stretched. She was still wondering how she was gonna tell Michael that he's gonna be a father. Before, she was dozing off, but now...she can't afford to doze off. Especially since she's pregnant, she can't. Rebecca looked at her watch and saw that it was around 9pm. She couldn't believe she slept that long. Well, she needed it. She barely slept last night because she kept waking up every hour. Isis came out of the bedroom and saw that Rebecca was awake. "Well, evening Rebecca. How was your nap?" She asked sarcastically. Rebecca shot a glare at her...

Chris must like me if he's taking me to a movie. Well, have fun, u two! Much love, Crystal and Chris. Michael walked over to his collection of films and took out Jurassic Park and put it into the VCR. Rebecca sat down on the divan, bank and Michael sat volgende to her, putting his arm around her shoulders and pressed play on the remote. While watching, Michael always pulled her closer to him.

After she finished drinking, she put the cup in the sink quietly and headed back to the bedroom. She got back into bed and fell asleep...or meer like falling into a nightmare.

Part of the rehearsals he did for Invincible :)

A few days have passed and it was getting closer to his tour date. The first toon was in 3 days and they were rehearsing it. Michael went over the songs he was putting in the toon and helped everyone dance to them. While they were on break from dancing, Michael had been thinking about Rebecca. 'I wonder how she's doing...I haven't seen her on twitter at all since our date. I'll check up on her.' He thought, heading into the lobby and getting on his laptop. He got on twitter and didn't see a tweet from Rebecca for 4 days. Not even to tell everyone that she's alright of anything. So, he decided...

A week soon passed and Rebecca was excited. Today was the dag Michael Jackson was signing his albums. She got up and went to her closet and searched through her clothes to find out what she'd wear. She took out her favoriete black button up overhemd, shirt with a white stripe on the right arm and her black pants that went down to her ankles. Not only was it his album signing, it was also her birthday. She'd be turning 23. She changed into her outfit and thought about what she'd be doing today. "Ok, after the album signing, I'll go get something to eat. Maybe squeal my head off from meeting Michael Jackson..."...

PREVENTING AN OBSCENITY: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE & ACTION

After the small measure of justice won today, the exploitation of Michael Jackson for profit and ratings continues.

By appearing in a documentary that will undoubtedly seek to portray Conrad Murray as a ‘sympathetic’ victim of circumstance, Murray and his defense team who may well be planning an appeal – will now attempt to negate the fact of the Guilty verdict in real terms.

It is beyond repellent that a previously well-regarded organization like NBC Universal would now seek to reward a proven criminal...

Rosabel reluctantly followed Matron Helen into the cold, stone cellar at the bottom of the orphanage. The only things in the cellar were a few chairs, a cupboard and a small table. Rosabel glanced quickly at the thick steel rod into Matron Helen's hand then kept her eyes on her socks. She knew what was coming. Suddenly, she felt a fat hand twist her arm and a seconde later she felt the cold sting of the metal rod smacking her skin. It happened nineteen meer times and each time Rosabel screamed for help, even though she was sure that no one could hear her. Eventually, Matron Helen stopped beating...

She was so dead from walking and running so much that her legs gave out on her for an hour. "I'm so sorry I'm making u carry me, Michael." She apologized. He chuckled. "It's no problem, Aislinn.
