Michael Jackson, Wacko Jacko, MJ, whatever the name the legend will always be remembered. Michael ruled the airwaves since the late 70's right up the early 90's. Post which he ruled the #1 spot on celebrity scandals through the mid 90's till the day he died.
But what made Michael Jackson so loved globally, what is it about MJ that makes people "yeah tell me more". Below are 5 reasons I could come up with that didn't let MJ fade into the abyss of retirement.
1) "Thriller", "Dangerous " and "BAD" the videos and songs that came out from these 3 albums were fresh and to a point revolutionizing for the time it came out . Not only was the music awesome, the dancing and the outfits were something no other artist could compare with.
2) Crotch grabbing dance step: Up until the time MJ popularized "Crotch grabbing" as a dance step, I'm sure it was considered an offensive gesture. Now I'm pretty sure you find women doing this too. Just goes to show the power of MJ :-)
3) Moon Walk: Holyshit how did he even come up with something like that. I mean as humans we've been making music for thousands of years. We even landed on the moon in the 60's but it took one man, on earth, to walk backwards, to popularize the "Moonwalk". WOW sorry Neil Armstrong.
4) Controversies: From Child molestation to bankruptcy to being an unfit parent dangling his child of a balcony all of this added to the MJ Legend.
5) "Final Curtain Call" the last performance: the 50 sold out concert that MJ had planned in London O2 arena. This is something that people wished they would have been able to see for a very very long.
Okay because this MJ we're talking about I'm going to break the rules a bit by adding a 6 point.
6) The integration of Michael's dressing, dancing and musical influence is still so prevalent in today's entrainment. Either directly, such as, listening to music over the radio, to watching your fav comedian imitating him or some talent contest show that has a MJ wannabe doing the moonwalk in a white glove in ankle high black trousers.
According to me these are 6 reasons why MJ will never be forgotten. Comment if you have more points to add.
