1. Michael Jackson
Ranking Michael Jackson at #1 on this list was one of the most difficult tasks because of the massive influence that Brown had on him. Yet, when challenged to justify his position, I managed to break the tie with the following point: Jackson took everything that he learned from Brown and created a style of his own without copying his predecessor. In essence, he stood on the shoulders of a giant and reached new heights.
Jackson could sing, dance and cause people to pass out with just a look. He was the embodiment of greatness and a true visionary. Many claim that Chris Brown is the next Jackson but has yet to bring anything new to the music scene. Beyonce also asserts a similar title but her steps and stage productions are weak imitations of Jackson’s work. Really, there is no competition for the King of Pop’s throne.
Watch Jackson perform at the 1988 Grammy Awards below to see his greatness in motion:
