Is he really? In what sense?

>>127992938
Study the greats and become greater, he said it himself.
But you make it sound like he just did pastiche, but MJ was an innovator as well. We all know how Thriller and Bad shaped an entire decade, but he doesn't get enough credit for pioneering the minimalist, groove-driven, digital sound design that would dominate the 2000s with Dangerous. Michael Jackson always kept his finger on the pulse of music trends, but other than Madonna for example, who followed them, he made them his own and thought them forwards.
And Invincible is still ahead of its time anyway.

>>127993024
I find it really funny how MJ's fascination with military and especially Nazi aesthetics has done absolutely no harm to his public image but at the same time elevated him to /pol/ icon.

He's been blowing up on streaming for a while now, he's 36th place worldwide on spotify. Probably zoomers who discovered him through tiktok. And now that it's October, Thriller is gonna get a bazillion streams again as well. He's huge globally and only seems to get bigger.

Nobody's worried about your bullshit obsession. Everyone always talked shit about him. He was in the tabloids every fucking month and the butt of late night talk show hosts jokes for 25 years. It never stopped. You're wasting your breathe.

>>127992833
unironically because he perfected the art of branding. part of the reason why his influence enjoys more longevity than prince or madonna despite them being pioneering in their own right is because he had that once-in-a-million instinct for pure iconography, and when you're competing against cats who can play your game just as good or even better, just understanding the value of shaping your own myth makes all the difference from being "merely" considered a spiritual successor to the greats to being put in a league of your own. when you pit his skillset against those of his biggest rivals it looks pretty limited and unimpressive by comparison (singing, dancing, songwriting), but there's a reason why mj is rarely diminished in any debate about showmanship: he shamelessly wore his influences on his sleeve, but fine-tuned them with his own idiosyncrasies into something iconic and irreproducible. something every popstar after him have all tried to recapture, but have yet to master to the degree he did.

illuminate me... which of his peers were better at singing and dancing?

MJfags are almost as bad as Beyoncefags holy shit. Imagine trying to paint him as some sort of underdog in terms of skills against his contemporaries when he was regarded as a top tier performer and vocalist back then. If anything Madonna was the one who lacked a lot of skills but was able to make it work with stage presence.

There were tons of sluts at the time she was making it. Arguably much more than today. Yet she separated herself from the rest. I don't even like Madonna because she was a huge bitch to everyone she ever worked with and to other artists of her time, but her aura alone made her rise to the top.

Dont get me wrong - he was weird, but great American performer. But no one cares.

They used to say Michael Jackson cut his nuts off so he could sing higher.

They used said he bought the bones of the Elephant Man and put them under his bed.

Everybody hated him. Not sugar coating it.

Thriller [Epic, 1982]
The best-selling album of the millennium was clearly a hits-plus-filler job from the beginning--what we couldn't know is how brilliantly every hit but "P.Y.T." would thrive on mass exposure and public pleasure. The inexhaustible "Beat It" broadcasts Eddie Van Halen wielding his might in the service of the antimacho that is his secret vice. "The Girl Is Mine" got interracial love on the radio and proved cuter than "Michelle." "Wanna Be Startin' Something" starts something every time an air or floor jock starts it up. "Billie Jean" is Michael's clearest statement to date on sexuality and stardom. And "Thriller" is the rare song that's improved by its video, which fleshes out the not-quite-a-joke scariness of "the funk of 40,000 years" for (Michael and) his (white) fans. A

>McCartney was not pleased. “I think it’s dodgy to do something like that,” he once said of the purchase. “To be someone’s friend, and then buy the rug they’re standing on.” The rift was so great that McCartney and Jackson barely spoke ever again. For his part, Jackson remained generally tight-lipped over the incident. “Paul and I both learned the hard way about business,” the King of Pop wrote in his 1988 autobiography Moonwalk, “and the importance of publishing and royalties and the dignity of songwriting.”

>The purchase would go on to help Jackson maintain his already lavish lifestyle and by the late 1990s, McCartney believed it was time he received a raise for his part of the songwriting equation. “I wrote [Jackson] a couple of letters and I said, Michael, don’t you think that after 30 years of being successful to this company you now own, don’t you think I could have a raise?” McCartney told David Letterman in a 2009 interview. Jackson’s response to his request was: “Oh Paul, that’s just business.”
That story still makes me laugh.

Can't even argue against it, since it's a scientific fact. Just like Shakespeare in literature but 10x more influential globally

He wrote the chords of billie jean. While you're on 4chan asking how .. some of us know how to play those chords. Would like to see you try. You don't know shit. The lesson of nigga music in the 90's was - if you don't like it - TURN THE SHIT OFF.

You don't do that. You think it's easy pickings for idiots.

You don't know shit. You're an asshole.

Anybody knows - micheal was a faggot. But not really - that's just what people say. He fought to have his own kids by debbie row. He was married to lisa marie presley.

He was black. and he was weird and unique. But he wasn't wicked, he had a pure heart. But people don't believe niggas have pure hearts.

But he sold. And that's why you lose.

We know you're a little boy.

Mcdonalds will hire you, if you don't give up.
>>
>>127998387
The fucking instrument he played was a Yamaha cs 80 on Billie jean. He wrote that riff in one take. If not for his humongous and legendary gang of producers. it would not have sounded the same.

Nothing about this song was ordinary. Now... why would they do this for one guy.

Because it SOLD

This dude was raised rich. That makes him fortunate, not wicked. But when you're good hearted, and rich, people try to take advantage. EVERY KNOWS THIS. IT'S ALREADY OVER.

IF HE WAS FUCKING KIDS, YOU'D KNOW IT.

ASK VLARG.

>What instrument did he play?
He sang. Since when do you have to play an instrument to make music, he had his voice. Is a choir not music because they're not playing any instruments? Get fucked.
But since you asked, he played the piano, guitar and drums, though not on his songs, at least not credited. He is rumored to have played the drums on the song Morphine though.
He was also a world class beatboxer and his beatboxing is present on multiple songs, like Tabloid Junkie.

Michael is bigger in Europe, Africa, East Asia, North America, Latin America and the Middle East. The church also adopted his song We are the World so Mozart doesn't even have that edge.

Maybe because he's famous because of his music being good dipshit, which is why various efforts to cancel him haven't worked.

This but a HUGE part of it is the dancing, i'd say 40% of his reputation is singing/dancing, 30% is music videos, the rest is the albums
>>
>>128000510
no, he's famous because his music is good AND he dances good AND had a charismatic public image AND well made music videos AND he was business savvy AND a million other reasons. his fame isn't rooted only in his musical talent, that's why he's the king of pop, which is defined by factors beyond solely musical merit, and not the king of music. nobody considers popstars the greatest musicians.

He does it the same way Nic Sequeira will make many new fans posthumously. Nic Sequeira is in most ways the successor to Michael Jackson, he is the new "king of pop" whose presence and showmanship is unmatched. He can even moonwalk, as seen in this video here:

Michael was a fucking ghoul with Peter Pan syndrome for 20 years. It didn’t take a kabbalah conspiracy to make the public think he was a child diddler. Do you think rabbis whispered in school yards across the world that Marilyn Manson removed his bottom ribs to suck his own dick? That’s just the rumors you get when you’re a freak.

You’re acting like that’s a coincidence, while MJ wrote and produced most of his songs himself. Prince was an extremely talented musician, but MJ was the far superior artist.
