MICHAEL JACKSON

By: Jimy Touzard and Emanuel Dután

 

Oh Michael Jackson His name alone makes you think of music dance and that kind of magic he had For me he wasn't just an artist he was something bigger Yes later there were problems weird things in his life but if you only look at that you miss the most important part the music and the show he made His art and the new things he invented that's what truly counts

One super big thing Michael did was change music videos Before they were just like simple commercials But he with videos like Thriller made them art Thriller wasn't just a video it was a short movie With monsters dances and a story This made people see videos differently He put so much care into the dance steps the story they told and the effects Videos like Billie Jean or Smooth Criminal weren't just fun they also pushed the limits That's why many artists after him wanted to make their videos as good as Michael's He really changed how a music video is seen and made

 

In addition his concerts oh his concerts It was like going to see a big theater show not just to hear songs He on stage was something incredible He moved with an energy that left your mouth open The moonwalk that step where he seems to slide backward it's famous worldwide His tours like the Bad album tour were gigantic spectacles Everything was thought out the lights the clothes the dances He always looked for perfection That's why today's artists still try to put on shows as good as Michael did He raised the level of what a live concert is.

To finish even though Michael Jackson's later years were a bit sad because of personal problems and what people said we can't forget what an incredible artist he was The way he changed videos his crazy concerts and his music that was unlike anything else all that made his name huge in history Michael Jackson wasn't just a singer he was an inventor a visionary and an icon who changed music and entertainment forever That's why he will always be the King of Pop.
