I dont know if anyone will ever beat Michaels record and like I said before, he is an amazing artist with extremely good talents but I’m glad to see my boys right under him 🙂 Pink Floyd does put up a pretty hard competition though!
Considered musics biggest night, the Grammys had over 25.8 million viewers. There were lots of artists who took home more then one grammy awards but if it were a contest Beyoncé would have won. She took home six grammys that included Song Of The Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Contemporary R&B Album. Taylor Swift came in second with four grammys winning Album Of The Year for “Fearless”. She is the youngest artist to accept this award. The Black Eyed Peas and Kings of Leon picked up three grammy awards each. Unfortunatly, Lady GaGa only picked up two grammys for the night but opened the show wearing a green-sequined bodysuit with angel wings singing “Poker Face”. And accepting Michael Jacksons award for Lifetime Achievement were his children Prince and Paris. They both made speeches in honor of their father that touched many hearts in the crowd.
And for country, Lady Antebellum won and award for Best Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals and sang “Need You Now”. And the Best New Artist winners The Zac Brown band, sang “America The Beatuiful” with Leon Russell at the piano. They also performed their number one song “Chicken Fried”.
Taylor Swift and the famous Stevie Nicks sang Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” along with Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me”. Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Smokey Robinson performed “Earth Song” in 3D for the tribute to Michael Jackson.
We all remember the king of pop….michael jackson. He was an amazing artist with 17 number one singles in the united states and produced the best selling album of all time and has sold over 750 million records making him the worlds best selling artist.
His career started with him and his 4 older brothers. They were called ” The Jackson 5″. Later on he broke away from his brothers and started his own career. He was a huge sucess coming out with lots of different albums and number one songs such as:
1972: ” Ben” (1 week)
1979: ” Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” (1 week)
1980: ” Rock with You” (4 weeks)
1983: ” Billie Jean” (7 weeks)
1983: ” Beat It” (3 weeks)
1983: ” Say Say Say” (6 weeks)
1985: ” We Are The World” (4 weeks)
1987: ” Bad” (2 weeks)
1987: ” The Way You Make Me Feel” (1 week)
1987: “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You
1988: ” Man in the Mirror” (2 weeks)
1988: ” Dirty Diana” (1 week)
1991: ” Black or White” (7 weeks)
1995: ” You Are Not Alone” (1 week)
He was also known for his dance moves, for eample the moonwalk, his clothing, which made a big fashion statement, and his plastic surgery. The singer only ever admitted to two nose jobs and blamed his progressively paler skin on the condition vitiligo. He had undergone multiple nasal surgeries, a forehead lift, thinned lips and a cheekbone surgery.
In 1979, Jackson had his first rhinoplasty after breaking his nose during a complex dance routine. However, the surgery was not a complete success, and he complained of breathing difficulties that would affect his career. He also had a dimple created in his chin. He was alway covering his face with clothes when he went out in public because people would criticized him so much.
Even though he was the best selling album of all time under his belt, some people still didn’t like him. Why, you ask? Michael Jackson was accused of being a child molester and horrilbe father. He dangled his baby from a balcony in front of everyone. It was all over the news, magazines, everywhere. Ofcourse he denied being a child molester and in my opinion, i think he was telling the truth. Michael loved children. He had a whole house dedicated to them (Neverland). He was a loving father and took care of his kids. I think he was a great person who was nice to everybody. I dont think he would ever intentionally hurt anybody, especially a child.
But all stories have an end. We all remember that horrible June say when they said Michael Jackson the King of Pop was dead. Millions of people mourned his death. They even came out with a movie in honor of his life. He had an amazing life and we will all miss him.
