King of pop music was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. To sophisticated ears, this may sound shocking. After all, Jackson was just a pop star. Was Michael really more important among the most influential musicians than the Beatles? What about Louis Armstrong, who invented jazz, or Frank Sinatra, who reinvented it for white people? Or Elvis Presley, who did the same with blues and gospel while creating rock? Maybe. Michael Jackson simply had more talent as a performer than any of his peers. But the king of pop is considered the artist of the century, not only because of his exceptional talent, but also because he was able to embody this talent in a completely new way. Both in form and content, Jackson simply did what no one had done before him. The perfect combination of song and dance, definitely different from anything people have ever seen or heard. Jackson’s musical influence on later artists was inevitable, from his immediate followers such as Madonna and Bobby Brown to later stars such as Usher and Justin Timberlake. Jackson was clearly a tragic figure, his romantic views were truly revolutionary. Not a romantic in the stupid sense, but in the most ancient sense, the Byronic sense of a person who devotes his whole life to the pursuit of a creative ideal, challenging the social order and even the laws of nature. Jackson’s romantic ideal, which he learned as a child from Motown founder Berry Gordy, was a vision of an “Age of Aquarius” in which pop music was used to build racial, sexual, generational and religious harmony for self-expression, beyond boundaries.”
Teacher Robert Molinelli in this portrait dedicated to Michael Jackson, he follows in the footsteps of the star of the best-selling thriller released in the United States on November 30, 1982. Funk, rhythm and blues and soul meet and collide with rock and disco music over the course of nine songs, among which it is impossible to find one that can be defined as “minor”. The project changed pop music forever with seven unforgettable hits, including the record-breaking “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and “Thriller”. Since we recognize each other among the champions, it should be mentioned in this connection that the first single taken from Thriller was The Girl is Mine, performed by Dzeko in a duet with Sir Paul McCartney. An important factor in the global success of the album was also the precious presence of Quincy Jones during the production phase and the support of the then-newborn MTV, which began to broadcast videos of Michael Jackson, which also enhanced his huge stage talents and finally made him an idol in general. latitude.
