The King of Pop and I

About the Book

Aileen Medalla is a young and strong-willed woman living and trying to find a job as a foreigner in the Kingdom of Bahrain. But after several months of job hunting and zero calls, she was ready to give up, call it quits, and return to the Philippines–until she received a mysterious call for a job interview.

‘The King of Pop and I’ aims to open hearts and eyes about the true Michael Jackson. What you read and hear about Michael Jackson may not always be true. His persona looms larger than the controversies and accusations. A story of HOPE, FAITH, and GRATITUDE, this book provides a glimpse of the private world of the King of Pop as she travels around the world with Mr. Michael Jackson, and his children Prince, Paris, and Blanket, across continents.

Ms. Aileen refers to the children as “angels” and obviously does share her experience with the family but also doesn’t seem to give away too private details respecting their privacy. In the open letters addressed to Prince, Paris and Blanket at the end of the book she states their talents and memories she has with them. Overall it is a very positive book about MJ as a father but also as a boss who has taught the author a lot of values that she still worships up to today.

An amazing book I read it in one day I couldn’t put the book down it was great the punctuation were spot on if it was a meaning in a sentence to context was at the bottom, but most importantly she also had photos and gifts from Michael and the children! I will be reading it again it recently just came out give the book a try if you can.

Throughout this book Michael is remembered as humble, caring, grateful, and generous, and provides several examples of this. Aileen tells us that she felt like a member of the family while staying in the same place and eating the same food as them (often prepared by Michael). It also reminds us of the limitations and difficulties of movement for Jackson and his children, because they cannot move freely almost anywhere. Despite sharing her experiences with her family, the book is intended to maintain a respectful tone and does not reveal overly private details of her relationship with the Jacksons.

One of the most unforgettable books I have ever read. It changed my views of MJ and also challenged my views of media. Truly an inspiring story of a Filipino OFW and her one-of-a-kind boss.
