The Kid Honors: Michael Jackson

"Jacko, Weirdo, child molester"...these are just a few words by SOME people use to describe THE best entertainer of our time! But while some say that, ALL entertainers will agree with me that he IS the best. I have not only heard the abusive and the pedifilers say he is their idol and inspiration, but also country greats Garth Brooks and rappers like Jay-Z! These artist are way out of MJ's genre, but they still recognize and respect this mans talent. Don't get me wrong, Michael had to look up to others himself like the late James Brown and Fred Astaire, but they did not do what MJ did, respectively. No one has ever achieved the records sales he has ( Thriller sold over 100 million copies) nor will so many credit their talent and ambition to anyone more than they will Michael. He influenced a whole culture. He set dancing on a whole new medium (People are still trying to moonwalk to this day!!) and his videos...do I really need to bring up Thriller and the impact it has had? No one, not even Kanye or Missy Elliot can surpass the things this man has done with videos. I could blog on MJ for days so I'm trying to make this as short and sweet as possible. I had to honor this guy before I move on to any rapper, singer or whoever came after him. Above is MY favorite song by MJ, not Thriller. Enjoy. And as always, kick rocks if you dare judge!
