Michael Jackson!!!
Michael Jackson is a musician in America. He has become so well-known that he became a global icon whose successful career and controversial personal life have been a part the pop music scene for almost 40 years. Jackson had an early career, he was part of the Jacksons 5 together with his brothers.He only released his first solo album at 1971. He is also known as the ‘King of Pop’.
Michael Jackson is well known for his complicated physical techniques, ‘moonwalk’ and ‘robot’ dance. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest entertainers and most popular recording artists in history, who has redefined mainstream dance and entertainment. He was different from the other musicians in his time. He was the first black entertainer to amass a strong following on MTV. In America, racism is a very common thing. Being a black, he was the underdog. However, he had the courage and the talent to change the status. He has been symbolically named the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by Guinness World Records
The album that shot Jackson up to instant fame was ‘Off the Wall’. The album which was released in 1979 was a worldwide success story that made music history, becoming the first album ever to spawn four top-ten hits, including the number-one hits, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock with You". It reached #3 in the Billboard album charts, spending 48 consecutive weeks inside the Top 20. You see, not many artistes were capable of doing something as impressive as what he did, not even artistes thesedays. However, ‘moonwalking’ was the one particular thing that I feel played the biggest role in building his fame. Jackson came out with the name "moonwalk" and made it one of the most recognizable dance moves in history. ‘Moonwalk’ also became his signature move. People at that time idolised him and followed what he wore. The ‘Thriller’ jacket was eagerly spotted by teenagers.
Jackson’s physical appearance now has a tremendous change compared to his younger days, His skin colour used to be brown but it had been becoming paler gradually since 1982. I think he is crazy to actually spend so much money, going through all the surguries just to look like a white. In fact, I thought his appearance became worse after the surguries. Having experienced a bad childhood, Jackson’s love for children became a psychotic issue.he became a paedophile. In 2003, he was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent in order to commit that felony, all regarding the same boy.
Michael Little Michael
The entire pop music scene was transformed when Jackson dominated it during the 1980. His distinctive style, moves, and vocals have inspired, influenced, and spawned a whole generation of hip hop, pop, and R&B artists. I feel that only a genius would have such a big impact on the music history, and that is Michael Jackson.
