Who Has Influenced Music More: King of Pop or King of Rock

Whether this Society wants to admit it, I would have too say that Michael Jackson changed the scene of Music in the early 80's. Michael Jackson had a very unique talent as far as visions of art that automatically over met his music. Michael Jackson broke several world records with his hits Beat It, Billie Jean, Wanna Be Starting Something, and Thriller going multi-platinum. In my generation Michael Jackson music inspired us to fight with the art of dancing, rather then fighting with deadly weapons. One could say that Michael Jackson was the Peace Maker World Wide. Michael Jackson brought this world a New Meaning to Living Life In Peace and Harmony by using his Music and Dance moves as examples. He is the King of Break Dancing, The King of krunk, The King of Expression, and The King of Pop. Truly a World Wide Icon, Michael Jackson paved the way for many young individual entertainers. Surely, in every household World wide there was a child/children that wanted to be just like Michael Jackson. Imagine everyone in the World trying to prefect Michael Jackson's moon-walk, the spin around landing up on their tip toes, or too lean in a 90 degree angle, and it doesn't stop there the list of movements goes on.

Michael Jackson gave this World his Soul, Visions, Strength, Music, Laughter, Dance Moves, Entertainment, and A Promise too change the way Society viewed Black Americans. With his love for a world he brought-forth change for everyone no matter their race, religion, or sexual preference. I believe that Michael Jackson is Greater than Martin Luther King, Jr. because he didn't have a dream, Michael gave an Image where all was Joined together not just the Whites and Blacks. His visions was given to all people world wide to see that we are all humans no matter what race, religion, or our sexual preferences might be. Michael Jackson made us believe in a change that would soon form our World. Michael Jackson's transformations over the years only proved that no matter what you may choose to become on the outside, you can never change who you was born in this world to be. There will always be someone sitting from a far judging every man, woman, or child according to their race; just as they judged Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson gave this world a Lesson in History, that just because he changed his appearance over the years; this world would still view him as a Black Male wanting to be white. It wasn't that Michael Jackson was trying to be in the likeness of the white race, truly it was a valuable lesson. A lesson I learned at the age of sixteen, it's not how the world might see you; but how you might see yourself no matter if your Black/White. Michael Jackson will always be the Individual That Made The Change in this World, that needed too be made! He's still waiting for some of us to Make That Change, by starting with That Image In The Mirror! Notice that man with no place to go, that broken bottle top(Soul), and a washed out dream; cause we're following the path of the wind...where History has already been. This is why Michael Jackson will forever be the KING for making a CHANGE in our SOCIETY!
