To the world, she was the Queen of Motown. To her, he was the boy in the Mickey Mouse t-shirt. But behind closed doors, innocence has a shelf life. In the gilded cage of the late 1970s music industry, nineteen-year-old Michael Jackson stands on the precipice of a terrifying solo stardom. He is desperate to shed his childhood image, and there is only one person who truly understands the weight of the crown he wants to wear: Diana Ross. Diana is beautiful, brilliant, and dangerous-a fairy-tale queen who can soothe Michael's deepest anxieties with a word, or rip his illusions to shreds with a single glance. She vows to teach him how to survive a ruthless industry, pushing him to harden his heart and find his claws. But as the lessons deepen, the lines between mentor and muse, protector and captor, begin to blur. ... Set against the backdrop of the shifting music industry between 1977 and 1983, the story reimagines the intense, complex, and highly private relationship between an emerging adult Michael Jackson and his ultimate muse, mentor, and protector, Diana Ross. It explores a fictionalized, psychological territory: the thin line between maternal guidance, artistic obsession, and a forbidden, asymmetric romance.

Title: Detention '75 Author: Erwin Frederick L. Galgo Genre: Teen Fiction / Romance / Music Catchphrase: "They thought the 1970s sound was dead. Then Room 304 found a stack of old vinyl." Blurb: In the bustling hallways of Senior High School, the barkada of Room 304 is known for their tight-knit bond, everyday teen drama, and five rock-solid couples. They are classic Gen Z-addicted to their phones, navigating high school life, and completely oblivious to the golden era of Motown music. That is, until a stormy Manila afternoon at Bea's house changes everything. Enter Lolo Cloud (Claudio), Bea's grandfather and the former lead vocalist of Nimbostratus-an aspiring UST student band from the early 1970s whose musical dreams were cut short by the Martial Law Era. Recognizing a raw, untapped talent in the five boys, Lolo Cloud introduces them to the legendary harmonies and smooth choreography of the Jackson 5. Armed with vintage, thrifted 1970s school uniforms-complete with bell-bottom slacks for the boys, mini-skirts for the girls, and vibrant pastel hairclips-CJ, Kyle, Enzo, Marcus, and Javi form Detention '75. Backed by their brilliant girlfriends acting as their managers, stylists, and ultimate hype-girls, the boys take a leap of faith and audition for Pilipinas Got Talent Season 8. From the high-energy, synchronized dance steps of "I Want You Back" to a heart-wrenching, soul-stirring Grand Finals performance of "I'll Be There," Detention '75 is about to prove to the whole country that true soul never goes out of style. A story of young love, deep brotherhood, and a musical bridge across generations. Are you ready to groove?

I'd love to be a writer, like those who write immigrant literature in the United States. But the problem is: I don't have a porch; "a covered shelter projecting in front of the entrance of a building" is not common here in my hometown. So, what should I do?

Just songs. Strange songs, famous songs, particular songs and every type of Music. I only refuse to do lots of Italian songs, most of the Music will be the English/American one. And I have nothing else to say, if you want to have some "Music Culture" in my personal view then just read :D

"Guh suck yuh madda !"
