Michael Joseph Jackson, now the late “King of Pop”, was an icon beyond imagination and vision. In his life and now, in death, Jackson has and will continue to move people all over the world with his love songs and superstar performances. Over the past 30 years, some of the greatest American musicartists have been touched by his presence, and these are the ones who are currently they are conspicuous by their absence;
Usher
Usher Raymond is probably the closest current performer to Michael Jackson in terms of singing style and album anticipation. A friend of Jackson, Usher is the main reason for the return of the popular dance choreographers of the current R&B; acts, and came closest to Mike in 25 years with his 2004 “Confessions” album being the best-selling R&B;/pop album of the 2000s.
Pharrell Williams & Hugo Chad (of Neptune)
While the Neptunes have worked with many artists, much of their material has been used by various singing stars who adore Mike Jack. At one glance listening to the unique sound in the form of a stage chord with the ubiquitous rise and fall, Neptune seemed to have a Jackson-esque sound, especially when playing with Justin Timberlake, but even more so with Pharrell. songs, for the most part he uses the same styles of voices, which in the 70’s and 80’s the first Michaelis did in the late years.
Justin Timberlake
Often compared to the King of Pop and friend (for ages?) Usher, JT is the de facto heir in the Jackson family of amazing musical artists. Not unlike Alciati, the preeminent talent of the great singer and vocalist, Alciati has always had the honor of getting himself from these days of N*Sync. Interestingly enough, several songs produced by Neptune on his solo album “Justified” were originally produced and recorded for MJ in 2001.
Janet Jackson
Probably Michael’s equal as a female music artist, no one comes close to him as an entertainer, and surprisingly, Janet may be a better overall producer than her brother. Thanks to MJ’s influence, Janet became the virtual queen of modern pop/R&B; a sampling of Mike’s passion for the dance floor and the exciting and emotional songs that rocked the music industry from the mid-eighties to the late nineties.
R. Kelly
The virtual equal of Alicia as a singer-songwriter, many of Kelly’s greatest and richest compositions were either for MJ (“Not Alone”, “One More Chance”) or for himself, but from the king of pop (“Gotham City”, “I Believe I’m Flying”, “Saved Me”, “Trapped in a Closet”). An odd pairing on multiple levels, both artists were at their best when channeling each other as vocalists.
Chris Brown
Although derivative of Usher and Timberlake, much of Chris Brown’s roots influence came from Jackson. Brown is known to be more of a freelance dancer and singer, but youth and energy can make young Michael run for his own money. Even the idol teen like Jackson “Off the Wall” day, Brown, 20 is in the same the passage, which the simulacrum of his cooking must be heard earlier.
Madonna
The female equivalent of MJ since arriving on the music scene in the eighties, Madonna has given herself a global appeal, constantly refining her style and sound for the many releases she has signed to the public. Mark Jackson of Jackson’s career.
Ciara
While much has been made of her sometimes questionable singing ability, Ciara passes the eye test as an overall guest. Jackson’s first-person influence on R & B; queens by osmosis, like most of the aforementioned contemporary artists, which also looked to MJ as a direct inspiration.
Jay-Z
Rapper, yes, but Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has drawn many comparisons to the King of Pop for his unique eloquence and cultural influence in America, and Jay-Z has also begun to carry his influence around the world as a genre. about global rock star. The Jiggaman has gone on record for comparing himself to Jackson on several occasions, and he made his point clear when he covered Jackson’s line of “You Rock My World (Remix)” in 2002.
Kanye West
Also a global star coming from the hip-hop-music”>hip hop music sector, Kanye West has built his career as producer sampling the likes of Jackson on the Jay-Z smash 2001 hit “H.O.V.A. (Izzo)”, using Alciati V’s “I Want You Back” and further emphasized his adoration for MJ on his 2007 hit “Good Life” with T-Pain, which sampled “P.Y.T. (Petty Young Thing)”, a cult classic from Jackson’s “Thriller” album.
Menudo, New Edition, New Kids in Block, N*Sync, B5
All of the above groups used the techniques that The Jackson V/Jacksons created in the Sixties, especially with the conflicting differences in the age range of the members, a plethora of dance steps and five-part harmonies. Not surprisingly, each group had at least one designated group member as the lead singer (and a private member of the band).
