What is the mystery behind the Michael Jackson legend?

Much of this figures legend are created by the media, and I don´t say this to diminish Michael Jackson, at all, actually I like his music, he was a very talented man, I think that,what took Jackson out of the crowd, was his use of the video to promote his music, and his image, just think how were videos in the 80´s, before Thriller, and you will know what I am talking about, he was the first to realize the severe impact this media will have in the future, and took advantage to it as nobody else. He was also a great dancer and live performer, with no doubt, it is a great loss, regardless of the problems with his personal life in the end of his days, a pitty as well.

It's his charisma, his appeal. Everyone in the world knows him. Even non-English speaking people knows him and imitates him. It's the way he reach out to the audience through his music. It's the way people relate to his songs.

His is the electricity and energy he carried and the flow in which he did what he did. The rhythm and timing was unmatched and the vission and understanding was special. The truth is we are only able to understand a small amount of what his essence was because much of it was blocked by the mess others tried to bring against him or the mess he brought aginst himself but there will never be another michael.

Michael Jackson took the stage with his brothers at about age 8. He had a style of music all his own. I would think there has to be at least one song anyone can think of and enjoy of his time. Since he worked and sang he had a really hard childhood. His father was very harsh on the boys. there is a movie that sometimes plays on tv telling of their childhood The Jackson Five. That best describes his childhood. When Michael broke free from his fathers grip and began his singing career he had a lot of rhythem and feeling and passion in his work. During the time he did this he felt it inside of him as well as what we saw outside of him. he was able to do moves that were not being done by dance classes yet. Michael set his own style in dance, and singing and found his way for many years past and years to come on the charts with his music. He is one of the great legends and became known as the King of Pop. He has been in my life of music since I was 18 when I entered the Army. And I still listen to his music. I love his style.

Michael Jackson is known as "The King of Pop," and I'll give him that, but otherwise, he should have been sitting is prison with the rest of the pedafiles.
