MJ's style was established dating back to the jackson 5 days in the 70s on the ed sullivan show before dudes like this even got it to music. MJ was spinning and heeheeing since way before jerycurls. So showing anybody that isn't in black and white on some Jackie wilson shyt probably means they got their influence from MJ and not the other way around.
The osmonds were copying MJ's style in 1976. How would say MJ was copying some dude in what is clearly the 80s

Show me an entertainer from the 60s or 50s and i might believe you. But 80s cmon son.

No ideas original, it's nothing new under the sun, it's never what you do but how it's done.

Mike, like any genius artist picked and pulled from his influences, from other artists that maybe had a good idea but not so great execution (as seen in this thread) and dialed them shyts up to 10 in his own way.

So I could totally believe he bit his style and it wouldn't really matter.

I feel like MJ's style was fully developed by the time Dancing Machine came out. And really the only difference between him then and rest of his career is quincy jones, and the era of music as a whole.

Everyone is influenced by someone and nothing is new. Historically if it works one time it will work again. Great deep dive by this content creator.

I want to say this respectfully as I have a portion of my life dedicated to the intellectually disabled.

I don't see how autism is relevant to this post and why those on the spectrum feel the need to explain that they're going in depth on something by leading with that..many on the coli are on the autism spectrum so I'd like to know if anyone is comfortable responding.

You made it a hot line i made it a hot song

More like made it a hot ALBUM.

Everybody had their influences but MJ was literally a once in a millennium phenomenon.

Just for fun I even asked chatgpt who is the bigger artist, MJ or Taylor Swift. That site might as well have replied :comeon: "Is that even a serious question" lol
