The King of Pop. The most famous Moonwalker on earth. Michael Jackson, the man who introduced a new dimension to music performance died today. The cause of death is still being determined.
From the Jackson 5 days, the "Thriller" music video, his Heal the World theme, child molestation issues and all... the man is undeniably controversial and adored by legions at the same time. He was set to stage a series of shows in a few weeks. Now, all that is left are memories of Michael's great feats.
Here are some of the favorites from Michael Jackson:
1) Thriller- who, from the time it flashed on that old TV screen, would forget this revolutionary video? Back in its days, music videos were plain and often dull. Thriller set a 'new' standard of modern music presentation.
2) Give Love on Christmas Day- even those who do not celebrate Christmas enjoy this one and make 'em want to give love as well.
3) One Day In Your Life- a friend and I were arguing whether it was Karen Carpenter or not. Toinks! It's Michael.
4) Billie Jean- energy passed from Michael to Blackstreet, and recently with Kanye West as its 25th Anniversary edition.
5) Jam- basketball and Music fans come together as the two MJ's collaborate in its music video. Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson show off each other's skills. Whew.
6) Black or White- another treat as the third MJ, Magic Johnson, appeared on this video.
The list goes on and on with titles such as Ben, She's Out Of My Life, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, I'll Be There, My Girl, Beat It, Smooth Criminal, Dangerous...
