Michael didn't choose to call himself the King Of Pop; he earned it. I know that because there are so many celebrities calling themselves Icons or Kings of there genre, but that title doesn't stick. It doesn't stick because they didn't actually earn it the way Michael has. Once Elizabeth Taylor called Michael the King of Pop at an awards show, it stayed with him forever, because no one could deny all of his hard work. No one could deny the way he knocked down doors for so many other black artists and how he has the greatest selling album of all time.No one could deny how his music is immortal and changed so many people's lives.
And of course we cant forget the huge amount of awards that he has received throughout his career. People seem to be able to become celebrities almost over night and before you know it they are said to be the next " King of Pop ". Michael's career lasted over 40 years and throughout that time, we all know he had to deal with a lot of media drama and rumors. Being the King of Pop, is more than just recording a few great songs, I think it also involves being able to conquer everything else that comes with the industry as well. Like people constantly using you for money, not being able to leave the house and people constantly spreading lies to try to bring you down and take away your innocent identity.
I really think that Michael was the only one that could have endured all that he went through because of his wonderful faith in God and all of the values that were taught to him at a very young age. He is naturally just a very giving, magical and loving person. All of his songs have a positive message that we will have with us to listen to forever.There is no " next King of Pop " there is only one King of Pop and his name is Michael Jackson. For all of the Non-MJ fans and the fans, I hope you can study the picture above, I really like it because it captures a lot of what Michael has done throughout his life and his accomplishments. All of you can also watch the video below to see where Michael was first officially called the King Of Pop!!
Many singers can "Sound" Like MJ but they will never "BE" MJ NEVER! MJ Earned the title King of Pop...yes he did.. I totally agree.. there was no music videos when MJ was around.. MJ had to be like all the other actors and singers of his time.. they tried to push their records, their singles, to the DJ's bugging them and they pushed to get seen at little places and then big places.. and such.. it was all real work.. not just putting up a video on YOU TUBE which did not exist..and get famous.. there was none of that.. Micheal Jackson Earned all his titles.. earned all his awards.. earned the profile and the respect of the industry..He made short films, not music videos.. now who else is doing that? I only see Lady GaGa doing this right now.. but other then that, no I have not seen anyone make a film so long that it has to have a Part 1, 2, and 3 On You Tube as Ghost does.. So although all these other singers are great out there.. there is never going to be a person out there that can bring the Magic to his concerts, to his music, to his short films..no one ever will he was not just Micheal Jackson he was Magic to everyone in the industry.. he was the top of the top.. and if there is anyone that can follow in his shoes.. it would be one of his children.. that is the only one and person that can and will do that..
