What is so great about Michael Jackson?

[Foxhound lady]

MJ actually changed the way Pop music was recorded/produced/reproduced.

direct from Wiki

"His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time...."

" He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. His work broke down cultural, racial and generational barriers and inspired subsequent generations of music artists..."

That and its a generrational thing

I've never been a big fan. He was a gifted artist, if you like that kind of music but he just got wierd. And I do believe he was guilty of the crimes he was accused of and that's just sick.

I agree. I didn't like who MJ was as a person but as an artist and performer he was phenomenal! The same could be said for Elvis. Again I don't like who he was as a person but his music paved the way for many of the artists today.

I have a question. What was the reason that he turned from black to white? What was the whole point of that?

he didnt "do" anything to "turn from black to white" he had a condition called Vitiligo

its a condition where the skin looses its pigment for no apparent reason...
