Like what is it about the compositions, lyrics, production etc of his records that made him has musician stand out from his peers?
Here are my key (signature strengths) elements of arrangement/production that made MJ's songs distinct from most other pop songs:
*Memorable intro/outro
*complex rhythm/percussion arrangement
*Vocal beatbox arrangements (probably his signature sound e.g. "Why You Wanna Trip On Me", "Who Is It", "Will You Be There", "They Don't Care About Us", "Stranger In Moscow", "Tabloid Junkie", "In The Back", "Hollywood Tonight")
*Instrumental solo (usually a guitar but "Bad" used organs and "Jam" had horns)
*Lyrical Dissonance (upbeat song with contrastingly gloomy lyrical content i.e "Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean")
*Harmonic Layers
*Contrasting harmonies (gritty, guttural, or throaty in verses, high tenor/falsetto during bridge or chorus i.e. "Speed Demon", "Tabloid Junkie", "Blood On The Dance Floor", "Xscape")
