There aren’t a lot of musicians out there who can brag that their music is universally beloved. Almost every superstar has to accept that for every fan, there’s probably someone who just doesn’t care for their musical talents.
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. When you catch an incredible moment, like this scene of Elvis singing right before his death, it’s hard to deny that some musicians are just special—they touch a chord with just about everyone.
Alongside Elvis, there are a scant handful of names that have achieved the same gold standard. The Beatles performing in Shea Stadium in 1965 make the cut, and Dolly Parton comes close. But no one mastered universal popularity like Michael Jackson.
That’s why this unbelievably complex medley of Jackson’s greatest hits seems like such a fitting tribute for the late King Of Pop. It’s performed by just one talented performer, singing in concert with his own doppelgangers, thanks to video technology. To me, that seems like a good way to echo Jackson’s own multi-faceted talents as a performer.
And, while this performer doesn’t try to master Jackson’s notorious dance moves, his vocal tribute is uncanny. The way he sings, it’s like MJ is right in the room with you… Truly spellbinding!
If this jaw-dropping and elegant display made you nostalgic for the days of “Thriller” and “Billie Jean,” please SHARE for everyone who loves Michael Jackson’s contributions to music!
