There is no artist in history who ever stood against racism more than Michael Jackson. For many reasons, he will always remain the #GOAT.

Wait, Is this that same Maureen Orth who wrote a Vanity Fair article stating Michael Jackson was sacrificing cows to cast voodoo spells on director Steven Spielberg. Yes, she actually wrote that and yes it was actually published. Thank you for proving my point WSJ, about the media’s hate and constant propaganda against Michael Jackson and his legacy.

Something that’s hard to explain to a younger audience: Michael Jackson made his music for EVERYONE around the world and hoped to bring people together. There wasn’t this idea of making music for one gender or race. His themes were never meant to be exclusive. Today we have artists who go out their way to disparage others with “hot takes” or to virtue signal. Michael knew better. He wanted a better world and showed unity in music was one way of getting there. For all his flaws, I think he shone brightly in this area. People are responding well because 1. His albums are timeless classics and 2. We inwardly crave a simpler time when everyone was allowed to love the king of Pop.

Michael Jackson is currently the artist with the most songs charting inside the Global Spotify chart: #3. (=) Billie Jean — 5.05M #6. (-1) Beat It — 3.81M #16. (+4) Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough — 2.73M #32. (-2) Smooth Criminal — 2.34M #33. (+4) Human Nature — 2.28M #59. (+5) Bad — 1.82M #62. (+3) Thriller — 1.8M #63.

This man was a great inspiration and big brother. We had love and respect for each others work and I was blessed to know him. He encouraged and elevated me as you see here. How you are missed in the flesh but the music and spirit lives on.

Prince has been the same person his whole life down to mannerisms, facial expressions and speaking cadence😭

Remembering the great Prince, who passed away 10 years ago today.

The magic returns.✨ #PracticalMagic2 is coming to theaters this September.

Michael Jackson had to cut a deal with a drug lord to film this video. The Brazilian government tried to block the shoot. A judge banned the filming. The police refused to enter the area. Rio was bidding to host the 2004 Olympics and didn't want the world seeing footage of its poorest neighborhoods. So Spike Lee walked into the favela (Rio's version of a hillside slum) and found the local crime boss. His name was Marcinho VP. He ran one of the city's biggest gangs, Comando Vermelho. He also happened to be a huge Jackson fan, and he provided the whole production with security for free. A higher court eventually overturned the ban. The police still wouldn't go in. So 1,500 police officers and 50 residents acting as security guards sealed off the favela. Jackson arrived by helicopter. He walked the streets handing out candy to the kids. The people who lived there had woken up early that morning to sweep the streets and take out the trash before he got there. Mid-shoot, two women burst through security. One knocked Jackson flat. Spike Lee helped him up and he kept dancing. That exact take is in the final video. For the Salvador half of the shoot, he worked with 200 drummers from a local group called Olodum. The media coverage put them on the map in 140 countries. They'd been a regional act before the shoot. They became a global one after. Over 200 million people watched the premiere around the world. The song itself peaked at #30 in America. In Germany it went to #1 and stayed on the chart for 30 weeks, the longest run of any Jackson song there. The video crossed 1 billion views on YouTube in 2023. Only one other Jackson video has done that: Billie Jean. He's the first solo male singer from the 1900s with two videos over a billion. The day after Jackson died in 2009, Rio's mayor announced they'd put a statue of him in the same favela where the video was shot. Locals said the turnaround of their neighborhood started with his visit.

It should be mandatory for adults to watch Sesame Street because A LOT of you are disrespectful as hell towards people from different backgrounds and could learn a thing or two about being nice.
