Michael Jackson in Motion: Jackson dazzles,Surprises at Capital Centre,Oct 14,1988
Michael Jackson Centre last night,he proved so interesting to watch that he could have sounded like Tiny Tim and nobody would have complained,Well,almost nobody,and since he sounded just like Michael ,it all worked out in the end. For all the good singing--and there was plenty of that it always seems to come back to movement and emotion with jackson,He is a dancer beyond compare,the embodiment of perpetual motion principle,seemingly boneless,with lubricating oil in his veins.This is a man with more moves in a night than Nationwide has in a year.You could hate him,but you couldn't take your eyes off him
Michael Jackson's Music legacy will Endure,June 26,2009
Try,for a moment,to separate the art from the artist.Consider Michael Jackson's entertainment proffer in a vacuum-sealed space. In that bubble,where Bubbles and all the peculiarities and plastic surgeries matter not one whit,you will find a man and,if you go back far enough into the archives,a child--who was unquestionably one of the most transcendent performers in popular music.Jackson was singular talent,even if he was sometimes derivative.He sang like Frankie Lymon by the way of smokey Robinson and Diana Ross,though his soulful,integrating voice sounded original and distinctive; to this day,it remain one of the most easily recognizable voices in the world
