Not that serious

Now i know we live in a society that everything must be "politically correct", but everyone needs to calm themselves down. Michael Jackson has been the King of Pop for as far back as i can remember. It's only a figure of speech. It's not like he'll get a crown or rule over a third world country (he probably did at one point, but i digress). King of Rock n' Roll, Princess of Pop... these are honestly just terms of endearment given to significant artists who have set ground breaking records in their lifetimes. I mean, come on guys - if you sell 40 million copies of ONE album, you deserve some sort of special title. And besides, Michael Jackson and Madonna really brought pop music into the spotlight (especially coming from a time where disco ruled the world). I may not like their music, but i'd be foolish to say that their achievements don't deserve to be acknowledged. Yes yes, we have the rock n' roll hall of fame and all that jazz - it's not enough. There are people all over the world who are connected to each other through music. In my opinion, these titles help break down the language barriers and connect cultures through music and the artists who give it to them. So you see, people who strongly disagree with these titles - relax yourself. it's not the serious.
