American Idol was OK tonight. I was hardly paying attention until David Cook performed Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean.
He totally rocked . Who knew someone could put a rocker spin on a yippie Michael Jackson ’80s tune.
So here’s my Farmgirl Confession…I was a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. I owned every biography, tapes and had a whole sticker collection featuring Jackson in the ’70s and ’80s.
I dug up the books on a trip to my mom’s one time and carted them back on the plane. So I have a good bit of the collection on my shelf, alongside my Nancy Drews. I gave most of my sticker collection to the Future Farmkids. But I still guard the Jackson stickers, and the jellies…and the scratch-n-sniffs.

I did not share VFG’s love of Michael Jackson. Much preferred rockin’ with Dokken.

I don’t watch Idol, but I got hooked on “America’s Best Dance Crew.” One episode was dedicated to Michael Jackson songs. http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1582476&vid=214559 Drag clip 1 to 5:00 for “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin”; drag clip 2 to 4:30 for “PYT”; drag clip 4 to 6:10 for “Beat It.”
