Billie Jean

     In these few weeks, we learned about Michael Jackson in the English class, so I want to introduce to you a song called "Billie Jean"! "Billie Jean" is the best song of all his songs I think, because the most amazing dance was from this song. Do you know which dance I mean? What I'm talking about is "moon walk"!

    This song is about a girl who claimed that Jackson was the father of her child. Jackson based it on a woman who used to stalk him, writing him letters about her son whom she believed was his. Jackson rarely spoke about this woman, but he had a very hard time dealing with this unwanted attention, and he became more reclusive as a result. The song was his way of expressing his feelings without addressing her directly.

    Although we have seen the MV before, "moon walk" didn't obviously appear in the MV. So I found a live version which has "moon walk" in it!

Moon Light

Today I will introduce a song called “moon light”. It’s sung by the aboriginal singer Wang Hong En. I heard this song when I was watching the TV show called “康熙來了”. I found the song is amazing and touching so I want to introduce to you.

Wang Hong En grew up in the mountains and his parents both went to the city to work so his grandma brought him up. Wang Hong En loves music, so he decided to go to Taipei. One night when he bade farewell to his grandma, his grandma told him that she would give him a gift. Wang was looking forward to the gift, but his grandma said”What I will give to you is moon light. I don’t have money, a phone and a computer, so I can’t contact you. So when you look at the moonlight, it represents my encouragement and care.” Wang felt cheated at that moment, and he departed.

However, Wang was not successful in Taipei, and he lived a bad live. One day, he was looking at the moon, he suddenly remembered his grandma and got many inspirations. Finally, he released his first album and made a song for his grandma called “moon light”. It’s the most famous song in his career.

He thought, the “moon light” is the best gift he has ever received.
