Response to Yasmin: Yasmin, chose my favorite artist of all time, Michael Jackson. I liked how she included a little bit of background and history but did not focus on it. All of Michael’s songs were very significant to society He always sang songs about the world like "They Don't Care About Us" always trying to send a message through his awesome songs. His lyrics provoked a feeling in humanity to become better people. One particular song that evokes feelings of self-change is “Man in the Mirror” in the song he is telling the world, in order to change the world; he has to start with the man in the mirror “I’m asking him to change his ways”. When you listen to songs like that, it’s easy to see and understand why so many people love him. Michael Jackson’s music is like no other, todays artist have songs out that are dominated by plain, dull meaningless love songs. Billie Jean being the first Music Video to be on MTV by an African American paved the way for others to get a chance. The next time you turn on the radio and hear all those meaningless songs about drugs, getting wasted, partying, and all those truly pointless things, remember Michael Jackson. He was the King of Pop and always will be. His songs have got meaning, and will never, ever be forgotten. Buying Michael Jacksons records will be worth your money because a legend never dies.
