He Is Simply Michael Jackson

This post is for my dear friend from Mauritius, Rachel  
She is participating Young Journalist and the title for her article is: "How your hero inspired you to achieve" and she decided to write about the legendary King Of Pop, Michael Jackson.

And I decide to help her with her article..moreover, I was thinking to writes about Michael too last few days..and I think this is the perfect time to write about it.

First of all, for those who don't know about Michael so much, 

as he said,

"I'm just simply Michael Jackson"

As far as I know, he try to be himself..

learn from the great master and improve it.

He is an innovator, he creates masterpiece in his music and dance.

Move on to our topic, I will divide it into 2 categories:

On stage and off stage.

So, we will start with Michael's personality on stage. The place where the fans can see him dancing with passion, singing his message to the world and we the fans, can watch fashion show at the same time, because every time he appears in public, his fashion steals our eyes.

~ Dance ~

Michael has been a very great dancer since 5 years old. 

His talent is beyond expectation. 

Started in boy band with his brothers..

Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Randy, 

Michael keep entertain the fans with his unique style.

 Look, there is little Michael at the center.

This picture was taken on 1993, Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

Still at the center..and look what he wear. Different from his brother. 

That is why he is unique and can catch all the attention.

Who would expect that they can stay in the entertainment industry for such a very LONG time. 

Since 5 years old until 50 years old. 

He gave all his life to entertain fans around the world.

For me, the most recognizable dance from Michael are,

The Moonwalk from Billie Jean at Motown25, 

dance moves from Beat It & Thriller, 

lean from Smooth Criminal.

These four are on top of the list. 

I think all fans can agree with me, 

even there are many more Michael's dance moves 

that is so amazing such as dance 

from In The Closet, Dangerous, Bad and Ghost short film.

His dance also inspired people around the world to dance like him.

Kaan Baybag, a 7 years old kid from Turki who dance to Dangerous choreography perfectly,

he even did a moonwalk!!

King, an Indonesian kid who dance like Michael. He also got curly hair like Michael.

Suleman Mirza and his friend from Punjabi, doesn't lost his culture. They can mix their Punjabi dance with Michael's dance which turn out perfectly cool and worth watching it.

Last but not least, 5 boys from India who claimed themselves as MJ5, their dance is so cool and outstanding. Same like Suleman, their performance is a mix..which is a mix of India's dance and Michael's dance...and when you watch their performance, definitely you don't want to blink your eyes even for a second.

Few artists that I noticed who also inspired by Michael's dance moves are

Ne-Yo, Usher, and Chris Brown.

Not to forget, Moose (sorry, I don't know his real name) from Step Up movie.

Chris Tucker on Rush Hour and 30th Anniversary also shows some Michael's moves.

~ Music ~

Alright, for Michael's music..I will focus on lyrics first. 

There are few lyrics that inspired current artist.

Lyrics from Man In The Mirror by Michael:

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

...

and no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place 

take a look at yourself

and make that change.

And Lyrics from Mirror by Bruno Mars and Lil Wayne:

Lil Wayne:

I see the change; I see the message

And no message could a been any clearer

So I'm starting with the man in the...

Bruno Mars: Mirror on the wall 

Lil Wayne: MJ taught me that

See how Michael Jackson inspired most of the artists nowadays..

Even Lil Wayne admits that he learn that message from Michael.

Next, I wanna share with you some of lyrics that can inspire many people,

> HIStory <

I will share some pictures of him visiting children at hospitals.

He called his home NEVERLAND.

He claimed himself as Peter Pan.

He build Neverland because he lost his childhood.

He found love and happiness through the children.

He loves those arcade games at Neverland.

He played with his sister, Janet..with his friend, Macaulay Culkin

and most important..he share those moment with children that come to Neverland.

This picture also known as one of the iconic photo that has been taken by a photographer.

Well, I forgot the name of the photographer. My bad. 

But look!!

Why?

Many said, it is one of the reason to cheer up the children that comes to play at Neverland.

I guess it works.

See how much happiness on those children faces.

Honestly, I can tell more about Mike. But I think this post is long enough for you to read.

Thank you so much for your time.

I would like to quote some sentence from Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait website.

"To those of you who wonder why Michael Jackson’s fans are so loyal, it’s because he was loyal to us. If you question why we are so dedicated to him, it’s because he was dedicated to us. His constant love, acknowledgment and appreciation of his fans, has made a difference for people all over the world in ways outsiders couldn’t possibly know. Some fans have even credited him with saving their lives."

This is what most his loyal fans feels.

So, thanks again for your time.
Have a nice week.
