Michael Jackson

My favorite singer/entertainer of all time is Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. He started his legendary career in his brothers´ band, the Jackson 5. He then went on to a solo career and we all know how that went. Michael Jackson released 6 solo albums and a few solo singles before that. His album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. He is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. MJ died in 2009 while in preparation for a comeback tour. Since his death there have been two new albums released, and they jumped quickly on top of the charts. He may have had a very questioning personal life but his careers is almost unmatched by anyone. 



I love most of his songs and some of the songs he made revolutionized the genre at the time of their release. He did many music videos that are iconic on their own. Especially the music video for Thriller that can almost be considered a short film than a music video, with a run time of 13 minutes. MJ made a film in 1988 called Moonwalker, where he put his music videos together and ads scenes in between. The movie was fun to watch.
