The Legendary King of Pop by Yvette Quiroz Garcia

       It is said that music is the voice of the soul and the completion of life. That is why I can say a person very well known for giving such amazing music of all time was Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop. He is well credited for inspiring many artist this day that have looked up to him in becoming better at their talent. Not only did he have the best music of all time, but he was also one of the world’s very best dancers. He is credited with creating his signature move, the Moonwalk, which is a move many dancers have imitated. Although there are many talented artist in the world, there will never be another Michael Jackson. His talent was so unique and genius. He was one in a million,which many fans, friends, and many other performers have said before. Nevertheless behind the curtains, his talent and fame came with a price to pay.  
The following review will consist of specific criteria about how Michael Jackson had become to be one of the greatest artist of all time, including the struggles he went through as a child and creating his fame, along with the reasoning to why he had lived his life in a certain way that had caused people to judge him.
                 Michael Jackson was born on August 23, 1958 in Gary, Indiana and was the 7th child out of 9 children. He was only 4 years old when his father Joseph Jackson put him to perform with his brothers. He stated very clearly in his interviews that he enjoyed performing with his brothers as a child. As his father started pushing Michael and his brothers to being known, it soon had turned into a job as he stated. Michael then started to explain in his interviewer that as a child. he was never allowed to go out and play like many other children did, and he was always spending his whole day working until the morning in the studio with his brothers. Therefore, from always working hard as a child to be a great performer, he stated that he never got the chance to live a childhood. Not only did he feel like his childhood was taken away from, him but was also never really happy. Michael’s father teased him very often about his nose and he would get abused every time his performance was never what his father expected, which affected him in many certain levels. Michael explained that he wasn’t confident with himself due to the fact his father always teased him. Michael then got his nose surgeries which he was never really satisfied with. Although his father was very hard on Michael it helped become what he was from all the discipline his father put on him. 
                Later then as Michael go older he went his own separate way on going solo. Michael was already the main center of attention out of the Jackson 5, he was always the very special one. After Michael went solo some of his biggest hits of all time were Thriller: 1989, Bad: 1983 and Beat it, Billie Jean: 1983. Those were only some of his greatest hits, his songs made millions of dollars and the ratings would just go right off the board. Even after he went solo he stated that he still worked very hard for hours trying to make a song right, and he wouldn’t quit until he heard the song like he visioned it would be. Michael dedicated himself entirely to his music and on his free time he would the do the things he enjoyed right at his home in Neverland. Neverland was the place where he would escape and he explained that it was the place where he was able to live the childhood he missed out on. He then explained that Neverland was the place that made him the happiest and it was where he mostly created his music. He had a very difficult life, yet he is known to have being one of the world’s biggest star in the world and very successful.
                The reason to have chosen Michael Jackson was because Michael is a great example of inspiration. He was a very talented and successful human being. I also think it was a great review to talk about because there is much be said about him. Like many other artist Michael Jackson's life was very difficult, which is very interesting to hear about because you would think that a person so successful has the best life ever, which really nothing is really known when they are behind doors.
