A Tribute to Michael Jackson and Moonwalker (Sega Genesis)
With the recent death of the King of Pop, it is only fitting to discuss his role in video game industry. Here is his most notorious video game: Moonwalker.
On a side note, some things about Michael Jackson has to be said.
Controversy:
Some people will argue that Michael Jackson was a child molester, but he was never convicted. Furthermore, there was never any incriminating evidence against him. It is not like Michael did his best R. Kelly by impersonation by creating a video of him urinating on a minor and leaking (pun intended) the video online. Therefore, it is very likely that the child molestation accusations were all cases of exploitation. Of course there were bizarre things that Jackson did like climbing trees, concealing the identity of his adopted children and his own identity with masks, having cosmetic procedures, and dangling his youngest adopted from a balcony. However, we must comprehend that Michael had a different childhood than everyone else. His view of normal might be abnormal to others. He endured a childhood where he was consumed with his work and had little recreation time. His father (Joe Jackson) may have been Michael's greatest gift and greatest curse. He would always urge Michael to work feverishly to the point where Michael was exhausted. Moreover, we could also attribute all of the esoteric things Michael did in his life to Joe Jackson. By the same token, Michael would not be the King of Pop if it was not for his father Joe Jackson. The rapport Michael had with his father was really a double-edged sword.
Career:
Everyone knows about his music, so his songs will not be mentioned here. As far as talent is concerned, Michael Jackson was the most talented person on the planet. Anyone can make a compelling argument that Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey were better singers than Jackson; nevertheless, nobody could dance like Michael. Michael's spins, footwork, gyrations, and the moonwalks were all unique. Nobody had Michael versatility. People can make an argument for Shaquille O'neal being versatile with his abysmal music, film, and video game career. Yet Shaq had three phases of mediocrity. Michael never failed in his career in the same way as Shaq.
Remembrance:
Obviously, the majority of people will remember Jackson for his music. I remember when my uncle passed away, I told my mother to listen to Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror." Although the song never brought my uncle back to life, it did make my mother and I feel better. For helping with the grieving process, both my mother and I will always be grateful for Michael's music. His music was certainly engrossing, but we should remember Michael for various other things as well. We should think about the music, his incredible appreciation he had for his fans and children, and most importantly his charity work. For the final time, farewell to the King of Pop. Michael Jackson is deceased; conversely, his influence will be everlasting.
