Michael Jackson was not only a singer and composer. He was a perfectionist. Music was in his bones, he was one with the beat till the end. Jackson’s vocal range is astonishing. One can distinguish his voice from a myriad of others in matter of seconds. At the same time he has so many voices it is difficult to imagine that such different sounds can come from the same person. The rare quality of Michael Jackson’s was that he never wrote his music down. It lived in him, the lyrics, the melody and every separate instrument that would later be transformed into a living and breathing track. He recorded his songs into a sound recorder using beatbox to create the effect of different instruments making the music critics agree that Jackson’s voice was able to recreate and indeed replace any instrument known to man.

To those who believe Jackson to be a product of the hit-making pop machine this should be a revelation. Jackson almost always played every instrument on his recordings and this should be pointed out in his Michael Jackson Tribute. He always confessed that he lived only on stage where he and his music could get full outlet. In a time of countless Pop Idol starlets and wannabes who can’t hit a single piano key Jackson still stands out as a professional to the bone. After all, he wasn’t called King of Pop for nothing.
