I'm a young teen fan and even though he ate the pop charts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner n the 80s and early 90s(correct me if I'm wrong.l Iwas born in the 90s) But I've always liked his lyrics to the songs and I was listening to today's music and I was tired of the hip hop and cursing. And there aren't just enough respectable black male artist in the entertainment industry who have broken barriers as much as MJ. His music is truly creative and his dances are almost purely original and he talks about peace and love. I mean he's the best dancer no one can really top him without imitationg him. My generation and many others before are influenced by his music. It has been 2 decades and almost every music genre artist uses his music and dance and clothing style. in fact if it weren't for his influences throughout the world artist such as Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5 ( yes they be singing and dancing like him) Maya, Britiney Spears. Oh my Bob there are so many too many to count! Long live the King!
