The giant icon perished---Michael Jackson passed away, let us talk about his splendid life.

It has been a long-standing practice to attack or poke a fun at pop stars, movie stars or public figures. Those who are not so famous stars heightened their popularity via creating gossips. But if you are a real outstanding people, not to mention creating gossips, the rumors will disturb and intervene in your daily life. That's why Michael Jackson was called geek, gay and the freak molested children etc. The funs of Michael all knew the case that in 1993, a thirteen-year-old boy accused him of child molestation. The case was settled out of court. Later, another accusation led to a criminal trial. But four years ago this month a jury cleared him of all charges. A large amount of Jackson's funs were waiting out of the court. The judge declared the vote from the jury, a female fun threw a dove when the judge said "innocent". The fun had totally thrown 14 doves to celebrate the innocence of Michael Jackson. I also believed that he was no guilty. He was the greatest pop star in the history.
长久以来，人们喜欢对歌星、影星，公众人物进行攻击和开涮。那些不太出名的明星们通过创造绯闻来提高知名度。但是，如果你是一位真正杰出的人，别说去创造绯闻了，那些谣传不请自来的干涉和打扰你的日常生活。这就是为什么杰克逊被称为畸形人，同性恋者，性骚扰小孩的怪胎等等。所有的迈克尔杰克逊的歌迷都知道发生在1993年的事件。一个13岁的男孩指控他骚扰。这案件在法庭外解决了。但是又有另一起控诉导致了法庭审理。但是4年后，法庭澄清了对杰克逊的所有指控。许多杰克逊的歌迷们守候在法庭之外，当法官宣判陪审团投票结果时，一位女歌迷每当法官宣告“无罪”时她就放飞一只鸽子。她一共放飞了14只鸽子来庆祝杰克逊的无罪。我当然也相信他是无罪的。因为他是历史上最伟大的歌星。

Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the '80s, and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time. In his prime, Jackson was an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power. His 1982 blockbuster Thriller became the biggest-selling album of all time (probably his best-known accomplishment), and he was the first black artist to find stardom on MTV, breaking down innumerable boundaries both for his race and for music video as an art form.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29, 1958. The fifth son of steelworker Joe Jackson, Michael displayed a talent for music and dance from an extremely young age. His father began to organize a family musical group around his three eldest sons in 1962, and Michael joined them the following year, quickly establishing himself as a dynamic stage performer. Dubbed the Jackson 5, the group signed to Motown in 1968 and issued their debut single in October 1969, when Michael was just 11 years old. "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There" all hit number one in 1970, making the Jackson 5 the first group in pop history to have their first four singles top the charts. Later in 1972, Jackson had his first number-one solo single, "Ben." In 1977, he met producer/composer Quincy Jones for the first time. With Jones producing, Jackson recorded his first solo album as an adult, Off the Wall.

Released in 1982, the Quincy Jones-produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall; the dance and rock tracks were more driving, the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful, and all of it was recognizably Michael. It was no surprise that Thriller was a hit; what was a surprise was its staying power. Jackson's duet with McCartney, "The Girl Is Mine," was a natural single choice, and it peaked at number two; then "Billie Jean" and the Van Halen track "Beat It" both hit number one, for seven and three weeks respectively.

Those latter two songs, as well as the future Top Five title track, had one important feature in common: Jackson supported them with elaborately conceived video clips that revolutionized the way music videos were made. The anti-gang-violence "Beat It" became an homage to West Side Story; and the ten-minute-plus clip for "Thriller" (routinely selected as the best video of all time) featured Jackson leading a dance troupe of rotting zombies, with loads of horror-film makeup and effects.
