I became a fan when he toured India in 1995 and this guy just mesmerized me for the next five years. The very first song that drove me nuts was "They don't care about us" from the album History. This video was a blend of his different concerts mostly containing clips from his tour in Africa in which he appeared and danced on the street with a local band. Those few moves he busted in that video simply made me want to breakdance like him. I remember forcing my mom to buy me his audio cassettes whenever I went to market with her. With every album I listend to, I wanted to hear more from him.
I started buying his VCDs. I'd be glued to his video "Smooth Criminal" all day long. The best part in that video is when he does that 45 degree lean. That's just simply amazing. The Billie Jean Motown video inspired me to learn moonwalk. Billie Jean is possibly his most popular song of all time. I believe it contributed a great deal towards making "Thriller" the biggest selling record ever. I fell in love with his gentle and lovely single "Human Nature" in an angels like voice. Lets not discount the albums like "Dangerous" and "History". The songs like "Heal the world", "Man in the mirror", "Stranger in Moscow" and "Will you be there" makes me want to cry everytime I put them on.
Michael Jackson was an amazing artist. I can't deny the fact that he was my foremost Super Hero. A 100% original with his work. The biggest selling artist ever. He'll go down in history as the greatest artist ever. And he will be remembered for generations and generations as the pioneer of modern day Pop scene and Breakdance.He''ll be missed always. May his soul rest in peace.
