The most Important Artist in Music History

He was, in the end, precisely what he promised and struggled to be: the most important artist in music history. If there had been any doubt, criticism, and misunderstanding, it ended on the afternoon of June 25th, 2009, when his death news arrived. Throughout his life, he has 5 Grammy Awards, 10 Lifetime Achievement, and 26 American Music Awards. He is the best-selling music artists of all time with estimated sales of over 350 million records. Also, he has over 4.8 Billion fans around the world and was once called “the king of pop”.

His life is so successful that his music and dance influence millions of people, while he is also a failure, he once became a figure of controversy for his changing appearance, relationships, behaviors and even had involved a scandal of child sexual abuse. Yes. You may have figured out; today I am going to introduce my idol since my childhood, Michael Jackson.

I like him is not only because of his music but also his humanity and personality. Because of him, I know that there are still many wars, hunger happens in this world and many people live with poor healthcare condition. Therefore, besides appreciation for what I have possessed, I set my life goal to be an excellent medical doctor, expecting someday I can save people’s life and contribute my little to our society.

In addition, his understanding of life inspires my life value and makes me realized what kind of person I really want to be. Being intent, confident, independent, and always listen to my heart, standing up for my values and ideas. It doesn’t have to be someone else breaking or shaking you. It doesn't matter what anyone does or says; I have a choice much wider than myself, and I must protect it and embody it. Because of his influence, I made the most critical decision in life; quitting my job from my home country and came to the U.S to get my new life chapter started.

Also, his reactions for those who have harmed him, makes me realized the fact that the forgiveness is always more powerful than the hatred, just like he has said: “If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with”. In fact, Michael Jackson has taught me how to love others, how to become a strong person and how to keep up a good state of mind in adversity and positively take the new challenge.

In my opinion, Michael Jackson not only belongs to music, not only belongs to dance, not only belongs to the fans, but he also belongs to our shared this era. Michael has already gone for a decade, but he always impressed me with a figure, a unique and glaring figure, he wore a jazz cap, black and white dress, when white light-gathering lit up, dance up his space step, singing, dancing, and that of the incessant cheers.
