The death of Michael Joseph Jackson
in age - 50, is making music lovers around the world mourned. The man dubbed
"King Of Pop" This is phenomenal, because of a special talent in
music. This situation coupled with the eccentric lifestyle, making Jacko never
deserted from the news.
Michael Jackson was a child - 7 pair
Joseph "Joe" Walter Jackson Katherine Esther of nine children.
Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, USA, August 29, 1958. As a singer she
participated in various genres, in addition to pop, rock, and R & B. In
addition to singing, he was also a composer and had been a record producer,
dancer, choreographer as well. he had mastered a variety of musical instruments
including percussion.
Jacko wrestle music from 1967 until
his death. Prior to pursue a solo career, Jackson was vocalist "The
Jackson 5". Jackson Five solo album is the best-selling album of all time.
In the 1980s, he dominated the world music stage. Jacko become a trend style
choreography action stage and imitated many singers. His style was spawned many
dance techniques term. Because of the unique and rare accomplishments, Jacko
name several times entered the Guinness World Record. He also won a record
album sales worldwide, the 750 million copies.
No one guessed earlier, Life’s
childhood superstar is full of suffering. Jacko was a victim of domestic
violence as a child and his father trained himself hard. He often pinched and
beaten, when training is less serious. Jacko is also haunted by a sense of low
self-esteem as a black man and suffered dimorphic disorder, low self-esteem is
overrated. He later underwent surgery whitening skin and he was suffering from
vitiligo and lupus. He always wears a mask and sleeping in the hyperbaric
chamber oxygen to prevent aging. Crash when creating ads make her sick. From
that moment he was hooked on drugs to relieve pain. Jackson has three children
from three times married.
Michael Jackson's life was never
separated from the spotlight and gossip, especially from the press. To the
extent that Michael created a special song to express how upset he was by the
act of the journalist is to "Leave Me Alone". Michael craze about
fixing his nose and his face through a number of plastic surgery, such as
making Michael became the butt of the press for several years. It also gained
attention khusu in the book Michael Jackson: The Magic and The Madness is
written J. Randy Taraborelli. Book-selling like hot cakes was peeling the most
intimate part of the life of the superstar. According to him, the various
operations performed Michael did not like the original conjecture, which is
likened to his face with her idol Diana Ross. But it is precisely to eliminate
the traces of resemblance with a very hated his father. Plus psychological
Michael has an obsession to make his face look "not manly", or
"neutral" (could be like women and men), which could be as a business
to not conflict sexuality.
Since Michael decided to pursue a
solo career, leaving the Jackson Five, his life changed drastically, from a
young singer who "only" to the degree necessary to obtain the role of
a superstar who can score record album (Thriller) as many as 40 million copies.
But the changes that took Michael to the top of the ladder of fame that might
cause him to be a most lonely figure in the world. However, one of the largest
in Japan's electronics industry, Sony, March, boldly risking his popularity at
the hands of Michael Jackson. With contracts worth billions of dollars, Michael
will be a "mascot" Sony, either in the form of recorded music and
films. Michael received payment in the album "Dangerous" which was
released in 1991 it was U.S. $ 5 million (nearly USD 50 billion) for each
album, plus a bonus of U.S. $ 4 million (nearly 40 billion) for the recording
which was completed in June 1991. He also earned a royalty of 22 percent retail
(1.9 U.S. dollars) per album. This number will continue to increase depending
on how many copies were sold records. When an album sold to 10 million copies,
Michael received the royalty is U.S. $ 2, 8 per unit, or the total amount that
would be received to reach 28 million dollars (about USD 280 billion).
In this country even though Michael
Jackson has never come to Indonesia, but the album Dangerous (1991), which
among other things contains the song "Black Or White" and
"Remember the Time", broke sales records tapes west since June 1988
(after the success of New Kids On The Block), 300,000 tapes. He is entitled to quartiles
platinum awards, four times platinum awards. After successful Thriller album,
Dangerous worldwide best-selling album is outstanding.
Sony Music Indonesia, which issued a
new tape Michael Jackson was surprised myself at how best-selling their
production. Michael Jackson tapes was published mid-November 1991, concurrent
with the issuance of a CD (compact-disc) around the world. So incessant that
record sales in Indonesia and 100,000 tapes recorded over towards the end of
December 1991. Sony Music nearly all activities centered on the tape.
Video-clips of two songs on the
album Dangerous until February (2009) is still only played by a number of
television stations in various U.S. cities. Though the album has sold up to 10
million pieces. The success of a Michael Jackson at the entertainment stage,
one factor is its ability to interact with the Jackoisme Jackson in every
performance. Audience, audience engagement as staging other superstars are
always in design as part of the staging Jackson.
Very prominent in Jackson however,
Jackson publicly infinite at a certain age, but has become a "family
viewing". It certainly can not be separated from the image formed Jackson,
which transcends the world in the expression of songs that seemed to depart
from the paradigm, that the existence of this world, the earth is a small
planet where are each other near neighbors. With a language that is very innocent,
with an approach that spirit is the spirit of the children, then supported the
creation of images through video clips on television-TV, Jackson indeed had won
the children in the world. That children exponent "Jackoisme".
Families in an era in which mass media has determined worldview that almost all
humans Jackson public.
That ultimately is
always seen in Michael Jackson's staging of the country far from the origin of
the singer though, America. For example, when Michael Jackson performing in
Singapore in August 1993. Jackson held a staging place, Singapore's National
Stadium, was packed with spectators young and old, men-women, from children to
adults. Outside the stadium there is a small group dressed as Jackson is
already there since the afternoon and caught the attention of reporters. They
are a family from Singapore consisting of father, mother follows three children
who claimed addicts Jackson. The mother of the family who became a spokesman
explains with enthusiasm. They have a complete collection of anything that
smells Jackson. Women who are not considered young bandwagon wear gloves next,
dressed in black, and metal belts with parts here and there. At that time they
sing the song Happy Birthday, yelling say happy birthday to her idol, although
Jackson himself was sleeping in his hotel room.
In
the play itself, all elements of the show Jackson actually wanted to unite the
stage and the audience. Audience have been prepared with some sort of light
each hand, which turns into thousands of tiny light bulbs stadium so when the
show was about to begin off. Amid the audience there are several giant screens
that highlight detail Jackson's movements on stage. The stage lights partially
directed frontally to the viewer, into the stadium like a giant disco and as a
discotheque, psychology is "us" not "them". There, Michael
Jackson is the center of the so-called "we".
Definitely not just the power of
mass media and mass culture industry is that merely bringing up Jackson.
Jackson himself showed incredible strength as an entertainer. anyone can
certainly appreciate that Jackson not only do beautiful movements, but also
movements took power for two consecutive hours. Some movement, even to the
right knee on the floor with the motion of turning or spinning pirouette ever
done.
Jackson's genius is what allows this
greatness, following an all-out exploitation of the mass culture industry on
what could be developed in the world of entertainment Jackson. Jackson is a
master of mass culture, and Jackson also have totally surrendered to him. He is
a product of the entertainment industry who want the central figure for the mob
is not scattered and remain solid mass culture. Face, skin, lips, eyebrows, all
the faces made for the purpose.
Personal life get in the box, and he
lived only as a symbol, as a resonance of mass culture industry interests. At
his whirls such as never occurred advertising competition between Pepsi Cola
versus Coca Cola sponsoring the show. The latter had exploded in a huge
advertisement, when Jackson reportedly ill in Bangkok because of dehydration.
"Dehydration? There Coca Cola ...." Coca Cola ad says.
On him, talks are sensations beyond
personal area perhaps restless, lonely, lonely. Talking about himself in every
stage show is incredible preparation that do not collapse because of the heat.
Giant fan mounted on the left and right of the stage to blow cold air from dry
ice. On stage also provided a changing room air-cooled, so that Jackson still
gets cold every change clothes.
Jackson is a live format large
format industry the mass culture, which unites the world by secretly castrated
all the old ideologies, and replace it with all the things that completely
physical, material, sensational. Jackson needs to have the capacity to display
megastar. World music, world song, Jackson created the world of entertainment
is the anticipation (or illusion) of the state of the world that is built into
the grip of the entertainment industry an industry that gave birth to the
so-called mass culture. "Jackoisme" is the ideology of the exponents
of childhood that became the show's central Jackson.
Ideology has replaced the old
dictionary interrelation of experience in the sphere of mass culture such as
this where there are no tears of compassion, there is the joy of birthday
greetings, no hysteria, there is also attention to racial issues (as reflected
through the song Black or White), and there are also concerns about the world
that felt increasingly sick (through song Heal The World). With it all, Michael
Jackson moves all around the stadium and perhaps the lover in the world by
number cover every episode of the show "Dangerous", for singing these
lyrics: "Heal the world make it better place for you and for me and the
entire human race .. ... ".
For
the writer himself was also interested in the figure of Michael Jackson as an
originator of culture, diva, as a megastar and a reform leader in writing the
lyrics of the song in his sang by. And the author is also interested in this
megastar since 7-year-old writer, which then in various television broadcasts
various video-clips from the album "Dangerous and History" until now.
When he gets the bad news about the megastar's death, the author participated
also tasted grief and loss because of one megastar who idolized has left us.
However, the influence of which he (Michael Jackson) has been absorbed in our
minds through her songs sang it, dance movements that he did contribute we
imitate. Michael Jackson, you're my idol.
