I saw the CD in the shop and

I saw the CD in the shop and bought it straight away. This song cheered me up so much after a lot of aggression going on at work.

I would like to request one thing, come to Christchurch, New Zealand after Bryon Bay and play it live for me! Christchurch needs some cheering up after the Earthquake and all the aftershocks!

I cried the first time I

I cried the first time I heard this song. Sounds like a weird reaction, I know, but for somebody that's struggled with self-love and self-acceptance her entire life, maybe not so weird, eh? And just like Michael said, the most important line is "You're perfect just the way you are." I've tried really hard, in spite of my own struggles, to raise my children to realize that they are perfect and beautiful just as they are, but there are so many times when I feel like a hypocrite because I don't feel that way myself. But Michael's music has helped me fight and work against that little voice inside that's always ready to yammer that I'm not good enough or thin enough or pretty enough. I'm learning to love myself and accept myself and see all the little imperfections as positive things that make me who I am. And I have the bumper sticker (You're perfect just the way you are) on my car to remind me just in case the song isn't enough. LOL
Peace. <3

I do admire those people who

I do admire those people who have been in the limelight of fame to perform.My great example is Lady Gaga.Just imagine that even a child wants to copy her image and style.Anytime a child does some sort of a performance to an adult song, ridicule starts. The most recent controversy is more than the, Baby Gaga Telephone music movie. It features a 3 year old since the star in a reenactment of Lady Gaga's Telephone music movie. Surely her parents aren't looking for payday loans for making her well-known. The movie is particularly being watched these days because Lady Gaga's Alejandro video is designed to release right now. The <a title="Baby Gaga performs Telephone while Lady Gaga releases Alejandro" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/06/08/baby-gaga-telephone-lady-gaga-alejandro/">Baby Gaga Lady Gaga Alejandro</a> controversy is hitting the internet difficult. It's amusing that people forget how much they pretended to do things as children; play dress up, house, cooking, and many a lot more grown up activities; yet we ridicule it when it becomes public.
