Adios, the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century


The greatest entertainer of this century, who has geographically established and hit the acme of global music industry within a short span of time, when the world was in the brim of racial outbursts and chaos theories. Born and bought up in a musical family, he crafted the history through his mind blowing voice, dance and appearances. Being an African American and rising up to the limelight of global music industry is hilarious and he was profoundly called "King of pop" or "The greatest entertainer of all time". He embraced numerous awards and recognition throughout his career.

He was my childhood hero, who mesmerized millions with his breathtaking voice and dazzling maelstrom footsteps. The mastermind and inventor of the breakthrough moon walk, robotic motions and consummate co-ordination. He engineered and doctored hundreds of stage shows. He enigmatically changes his character while in stage. It was verily evident from his stage shows, where he gives himself to the crowd. The energy and charisma is laudable. He was shy, generous and speaks like a child. I admire him the way he attracts his fans. I closely watched his footsteps and significantly tried to follow some. But essentially I realized that, to achieve this mammoth task requires tons of efforts and attitude.

“Billie Jean”, “Bad”, “Heal the world”, “Stranger in Moscow”, “Smooth Criminal” are my favourite and prominent songs and videos. Each of his videos represents character, moral and influence of technology. Apart from being a full time entertainer, he was a philanthropist and has donated millions of dollars to charities across US. Later on his career MJ's presence in the industry diminished and was hit by storms of controversies. He might be caught in the whirlwind of faceless media attentions, but I consider him as a great entertainer, a philanthropist and iconic symbol of love and care.

His sudden demise came in a shock to me and I couldn’t believe that “The king of pop" will never entertain us again. But, it is not the truth. He has created a wave of memories and performances in short span of time for us. He is within us and looking at us now and singing “Heal the world, make it a better place for you and for me and the entire universe”
