Joanna愛運動

禮拜五坐在客廳餵奶隨手亂轉電視頻道的時候，看到Michael Jackson的live演唱會，不曉得這是在哪裡舉辦的，滿坑滿谷的人潮，全場忘情的跟著MJ合唱『Man in the mirror』。

我立刻被吸引住了，精準的唱功和經典的moon walker舞步，還有站在舞台上君臨天下的氣勢，依稀在告訴大家流行天王仍然在眾多後浪中保有一席之地。

可是當鏡頭抓住他的臉部特寫時，我還是覺得不忍卒睹。厚得像面具一樣的濃妝和感覺搖搖欲墜的鼻子，身形削瘦得像個鬼一樣。大家看過皮影戲沒有？我很想趴在螢幕前面尋找看看是不是有兩根棍子在操作MJ的舞蹈動作。

MJ有很多很多歌都是勵志的、悲憐人類與世界的未來，但是相對於他這幾年來江河日下的負面形象，老實說，心中真的不太高興。

大聲唱Black or white的人是黑人，卻可以把自己整容得像個天生的白人。

愛說heal the world, make it better place又揮霍無度。

你曾經認真注視過鏡子裡面自己的模樣嗎？

Man In The Mirror

Written and Composed by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.




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 collar on my favorite 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 you 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 you wanna make the world a better place
(If you 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 not 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 you wanna make the world a better place
(If you 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 the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways-Ooh!)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and then make that...)
Change!

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