Lol
I just realized something...
There are two reasons why music is the way it is right now, why beyonce, whitney houston, U2, coldplay, corinne bailey rae, mariah carey, nsync, backstreet boys, usher, john mayer, kelly clarkson, ben folds, gorillaz, taylor swift, maroon 5, fucking RICK ROLL, black eyed peas, etc.... etc... even exist
Blues.
Michael Jackson.
"It's nearly impossible to grasp, really. Michael Jackson's impact on the popular culture at large cannot really be measured, though many will try, using every gauge of success and influence we can think of: record sales, money earned, global reach, hit singles, controversy, tabloid coverage, endless comparisons to Elvis and The Beatles, you name it.
But it's all sort of futile. After all, the raw data of Michael Jackson pales in comparison to the truly significant numbers, like how many countless millions of people worldwide have danced and sung along and found pleasure in an MJ tune in their lives, can recite lyrics and mimic the dance moves and tell you exactly where they were when they first witnessed the moonwalk, the glove, "Billie Jean," the "Thriller" video."
I don't care if you're a fan or not.. It doesn't change the fact that he changed everything.
Forever.
