Still the King of Pop

I as always judge only the content, not the trappings of an article, of course, also gets this umpteenth compilation of the King of Pop full five stars because the songs it contains are, although almost all old, but a piece of music history and have nothing lost from their bite. If an artist 30 years after publication of his first solo album and seven years after the publication of the last manages to place even the fourth or fifth best of his plays in the top ten of several countries, then you just have him (and his music) a Size concede that can probably take up only very very few artists themselves.

Michael Jackson has been the probably most influential pop musicians of the last century and has only paved the way for artists like Akon, William, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, etc. But Mr. Jackson's pieces will you still play in 30 years. In the latter, I'm not so sure. And if Robbie Williams asked on his last tour, whether there might be a vacancy for the title of the King of Pop, I can only laugh!

So we want to treat Mr. Jackson when he flushes with another compilation a little money in the cash-strapped vermeindlich and hope that it will yet again be a new and hopefully good album. At Grace Jones, it took 19 years, but it was worth it !!!
