There has never been somebody who did that. Michael is a triple threat - singer, dancer and songwriter and is outstanding at all three. If you think "Thriller" is the best example of his talent you have seen nothing. And hands down Michael Jackson is the greatest talent this world has ever seen and will ever see. Did Elvis dance like Michael? Did he entertain like Mike GLOBALLY? Nope.

Elvis now? He was mostly famous because teenage girls at that time had no other "hottie" to idolize. It's proven that they fell off the charts when the band broke up. He proved it from when he was still a little kid with the Jackson 5 and he peaked as a solo artist the Beatles would be nothing without each other. Michael is blessed with pure talent and originality. I never heard of the Beatles or Elvis Presley until we moved to the U.S. The fact that his fame is GLOBAL proves his success and passion for his music. I've never met anyone who has not heard of the King of Pop. Everyone imitated his dance moves and his music was heard everywhere. I was military brat, living overseas, and I must say, Michael Jackson was the most popular artist. I'm 36 and I feel blessed I managed to witness his peaking years in the 80's. His perseverance, perfectionism, talent, and hard work is what makes him the greatest entertainer of all time. If he couldn't excite and please his fans, he didn't want to do it at all. He never settled and was never second-best. He pioneered the music video format with Thriller, and none of his videos disappointed. His extraordinary wardrobe, his take on the music video, and his amazing dances made his music come alive. He revolutionized music and was the first artist to turn it into art. The electrifying dance moves and angelic voice just add to the recipe that makes up Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer of all time. Just the fact that a little black boy from a Midwestern town was able to become a seemingly mythical pop legend is mind-blowing. Dubbed the King of Pop, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Michael is also known as The King of Pop (a title given to him by Elizabeth Taylor) or under the initials MJ.

He donated (at least) a remarkable 500,000,000 dollars to charity.

He passed away from cardiac arrest caused by a propofol and benzodiazepine overdose on June 25, 2009. 1 Michael Jackson Michael Jackson (Michael Joseph Jackson Aug– June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter.
