The King of Pop

Well this is a tiny tribute to The King of Pop himself.

I remember the first music video i saw from him was Black or White. I think that was when i was in kindergarten or primary. But his kind of music, with soul energy and full of beats and rhythms caught my ears. And i enjoyed listening to most of his songs ever since. Moonwalks, high pitch screams, the Glove, military suits, curly hair, smooth dances. Attributes of Jackson that will go down in history as one of the best performing artists' of all time.

The one thing that stands out is that his music is still as current and as relevant till today as it was since the 70's when "ABC 123" and "I Want You Back" kicked off a world wide craze. It just never dies. Not being biased or critical but the music industry has yet to see music that can survive and STILL be alive in 3 decades. We can have great singers, but can we have great singers AND smash hit songs? I personally dont see any current music produced by any artist which can have the same impact in 30-40 years time. Maybe we need another reincarnation of the young Jackson 5 to see talent that is an almost similar MJ style.

Till then, Michael Jackson is still the King of Pop. The Most Successful Entertainer of All Time.

Sadly my kids wont be able to see him alive. Just show them vids of him. But i think they will like it. =)

Condolences to the Jackson family
