Michael Jackson

I think Michael Jackson is "King of POP", not just in USA, in all over the world. He also inspired to many musicians. I watched many TV shows that interviewed various artists, when interviewer asked to the artist, "why did you decide to be an artist?", many artist told the interviewer, they decided to be an artist after they saw Michael Jackson's performance. I think these kind of example shows how great Michael Jackson was. In addition, after his death, many artists held concert to remember him as "King of POP" in many countries.
I don't know much about him because his era was in 80s to 90s. However, I could hear about him through many TV shows, radio, and my mom. I think before Michael Jackson came out, music was only for listening, but his music and performance brought thought that music can be enjoy by listening and watching performance. Also I think he was a pioneer of dance music. His movement is still amazing.
