The Best Performer and Artist all time

Michael Jackson has been called the “King of Pop” for years. He earned this title by his non-stop touring, unbelievable performances, creative imagination and his excellent vocal skills. At an early age, it was clear that Michael had the vocal skills to become a great singer. Jackson invented something called the “Vocal Hiccup” in the early seventies in the song, “It’s Too Late to Change the Time”. The “Vocal Hiccup” sounds similar to gulping or gasping for air. It can be heard really clearly in the song “Off the Wall” and even more in the song “Shake Your Body”.
In the video “Smooth Criminal”, one of his most popular music videos, Michael actually applied for a patent for his one of a kind “Anti-Gravity Lean”. If you have ever seen this music video, you will know what we are talking about.
Jackson has influenced many artists around the world that include some of the best performers of our time. They include: Britney Spears, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, 50 Cent, just to name a few. Michael had so many talents and was great at everything he did.
Michael also had a great imagination and put that to use on all of his music videos. At the time, no one had ever released a music video quite like Michael Jackson. This also helped MTV get off the ground and drawing a huge audience. In these videos, he also showed his one of a kind dance routines and the great visual effect idea’s that he had came up with.
Some of his songs and music videos were quite controversial. One of the most recognizable songs would be the song “Black or White” which showed in 27 countries and watched by about 500 million viewers. This broke the record of the most watched music videos. It showed some violent scenes, which could be portrayed as Michael’s childhood with his father, and it also showed scenes of sexual nature that could mean that he was possibly sexually assaulted as he grew up as well. However, these questions have never been directly asked to Michael.

Michael was inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984. He has won many American music awards including the World Music Awards best selling male artist of pop for this millennium. He also holds 8 Guinness Book of World Records, 13 Grammies and 13 number one singles. All of this was achieved in his solo career.
