King of Pop. A singer who doesn't need any more modifiers. Michael Jackson #2

Hi! I'm back again. I'm going to write two of the posts I wrote last time. In the last post, it covered Michael Jackson's album, Thriller. In this post, we will talk about Michael Jackson's "BAD" album and "Dangerous" album after his thriller album, and the rumors related to it.

Rumors of Michael Jackson, which began in 1986, haunt him until his death. When I was working on a thriller album, there were only music-related stories about Michael Jackson, but his rumors that started with the BAD album make him really hard. Later, it turned out that it wasn't all true, but it was already after he passed away. Following the first episode, let's find out about Michael Jackson.


BAD

Michael Jackson wraps up Jackson's career and is completely alone. Now I'm a complete solo artist. Michael Jackson will spend five years after the thriller album until his next album, "BAD," is released. Because of his perfectionist tendencies, Michael Jackson's album has been released for nearly five years before his next release. Because he became the most successful singer through his thriller album, many people are looking forward to Michael Jackson's next album. And Michael Jackson was also under pressure to make his next album better than thriller. There is an anecdote that tells how much pressure he had, and he was under so much pressure on his new album that he used the phrase "100 million copies" in the bathroom when recording.

The next album must sell more than 100 million copies. Michael Jackson said, "When I worked with that thought, I was going crazy." He composed 11 of the album's tracks himself. That's how <BAD>, a sequel to <Thriller>, came into the world. At this time, he shows a tremendous change. The changed hair style, face, and skin color. Since then, rumors have begun to circulate that Michael Jackson has even changed his skin color after touching white music. However, Michael Jackson faces several events that are bound to change his appearance.

Among them, the first is vitiligo. He had a disease that gradually whitened his skin, which eventually resulted in white skin accounting for more than half of his body. So he eventually makes his whole body white. At that time, Michael's paparazzi photos showed that he was suffering from vitiligo, so he always wore parasites and sunglasses. It was his effort not to irritate the skin.

The second is his plastic surgery. I seriously hurt my nose while filming the movie, but I had to continue to operate on my nose because the nose surgery I did at that time was wrong. And he operated on the spatula for beauty purposes. He had a severe complex about his appearance because he was abused by his father since childhood. Originally, he had good looks, but he had plastic surgery because of his complex.

Third, he suffered burns while filming Pepsi's commercial and was hospitalized, which is said to have worsened his vitiligo. And because of this, Michael Jackson changes his hairstyle.



That's how Michael Jackson's "BAD" was released. However, this album is a little disappointing for Michael Jackson. Of course, this album sold a lot. Described as "the most anticipated album in history," Bad topped the "Billboard" 200. It's not just this. The album reached a new record, topping the album charts in 25 countries, including the Billboard chart. More than 2 million copies were sold in the U.S. in the first week of its release, and 500,000 were sold in the U.K. for the first five days. She remained at the top of the Billboard 200 for six weeks, and maintained the Billboard 200 top 5 for a total of 38 weeks, setting the longest record for a male solo artist.

A total of nine of the album's tracks were single cuts, with five of them topping the Billboard Hot 100 list, making it the most number-one album. It is also an album with a total of six songs on the Billboard singles top 10, making it the second-highest number of songs in the top 10. It was the second-highest-selling album in history, after "Thriller" with 25 million copies sold by 1991, and the world's best-selling album in 1988 and 1989. It has sold more than 35 million copies so far, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. However, Michael Jackson said he was disappointed that he could not sell more than 100 million copies he had expected.


We Are The World

We Are The World means more than unprecedented co-operation among the most successful elites of pop music. It is considered an artistic victory that transcends formal harmony.

It is such a social music that the NewYork Times evaluated like this. In 1985, Jackson, who was interested in charity and donations, joined a mega charity project called We Are The World. Michael Jackson wrote the song with Lionel Richie. The single sold 14 million copies at the time and more than 20 million copies so far, making it the highest-selling single of the 1980s. The song was co-written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, who testified that most of the song was written by Michael Jackson.

The song was named the most successful music at the 1986 Grammy Awards, winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The people who participated in this song are really amazing musicians. It is safe to say that the most famous and greatest musicians in popular music history gathered together. This large-scale project showed a great performance that was integrated musically and ethnically.

Dangerous

At that time, Michael Jackson became independent of Quincy Jones and made the album. He tries to escape Quincy Jones' influence and make the album his own. At that time, Michael Jackson was somewhat dissatisfied with some tracks. And with the new producer Teddy joining the team a few months ago, he began to need more time because the album had changed direction. However, four years have passed since Bad's release, and the newly signed label, Sony, has somehow begun putting pressure on Jackson to complete the album before Thanksgiving.

Michael Jackson was a perfectionist who kept working again and again if he didn't fit his ears. This is not surprising because it is the same for Bad that the album is delayed in completion. His goal was to be a masterpiece that everyone can hear regardless of the color of the skin of men and women. Michael Jackson was adamant that he would not submit the album to Records unless he was completely satisfied.

On 26 November 1991, Dangerous topped the "Billboard" 200 shortly after its release, staying at number one for four weeks, and topping the album charts in 10 other countries, including the United Kingdom. Dangerous has influenced many artists in modern popular music. It is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. It is no exaggeration to say that many later artists were influenced by the album.


Super Bowl halftime show

It's a great achievement among his achievements. He made the Super Bowl halftime show the best show. Michael Jackson's show is the beginning of the Super Bowl halftime show. He overwhelmed the people with his wonderful appearance. He appears on the stage and stands still for a minute and does nothing. Standing alone overwhelmed the audience. He expressed his perfectionism even more beautifully in the performance, where he was not paid to appear. Even if he doesn't know Michael Jackson, he made a great performance because he sees Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl. Later, Jackson was at the height of his career by winning the Grammy Award for Living Legend.

At the end

I finished the second one following the first one. Michael Jackson's achievements are so numerous that it won't end with two posts. Later, he will write his final albums and post a post about his death. I hope my long writing gives you joy. I write music-related posts and run a website related to 카지노사이트.
