Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his début to the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1969, and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop"[2] in subsequent years, his 1982 album Thriller is the world's best-selling record of all time[3] and four other solo studio albums are also among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller — widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form — helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists. While Jackson was a member of Generation Jones [4][5], he had an impact on multiple generations.

Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation, charity singles and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his changing appearance and behavior, generated significant controversy, damaging his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer had experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.

One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records — including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career — more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.[6] Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. Jackson died on June 25, 2009, aged 50.[7] The specific cause of death is yet to be determined.[2] Before his death, Jackson had announced a 50 date sell-out This Is It comeback tour, in London, England.

Selam sevgili Burak,
Tek kelimeyle muhteşemsin. Sabahtan beri bekliyordum kimden gelecek diye, güzel ülkem bu konuda da bayrağı bırakmadı.
Bu kare ise, herşeyi zaten kendisi anlatıyor.
Bana da Farah Fawcett kaldı artık !!
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler

"Billie Jean" is a 1983 hit single from Michael Jackson's Thriller album....unutulmazdi degil mi?ama bu zamanda ve bu gezegende olmayi sonsuzluk icinde sadece kısa bir durak olarak algilarsak eger ''olum''o kadar da fena gelmiyor insana...guzel olan su ki ''o''iz birakip da gidenlerden oldu...

Merhaba. Fotoğraf ışığıyla, konusu ve kompozisyonuyla zaten çok güzel, bir de Michael Jackson anısına paylaşmış olmanız, çok ince bir düşünce. Tebrik ederim, elleriniz, yüreğiniz sağolsun.
Çağla.

Dag Burak,

Beautiful tribute to MJ.
The light is wonderful, both in the background as in the foreground. I think the secret is the use of flashlight.

Hi Burak,

Nice hommage to Michael Jackson. Definitely one of the greatest stars of music.
Beautiful image, very well done.

Warm Regards, my friend

dvlazar (6468) 2009-06-26 18:59

A clever and atmospheric shot here! I like the light covered by the clouds, with just enough gettign thru to light the scene like this.
Respects to Michael also.
Well done
Dave

Selam sevgili Burak

A timely dedication to an unquestionably talented musician. I'm reading that alchohol & precription drugs caused his demise? But that could be a media beatup. Good layering, in this superbly sharp nocturnal shot. Tfs!

Hello Burak,

The sun just set on a great artist and entertainer...

You have captured the mood perfectly!

Selamlarla ,

Hi again Burak!
This is a beautiful picture of a sunset, as a tribute to a great artist!
Luckily, his art will remain alive rather than the controversies concerning his odd ways of life! What a shame that success turns the heads of people coming up from humble backgrounds!
Your photo is incredible: the sunset is already so dark and yet it lights up this bush in the foreground beautifully; perhaps just like Michael's talent will light up the memories we'll keep of him!
And as usual, such a calm atmosphere comes out of your photo! May he rest in Peace!
All the best!
Marie Louise.

Lise çağlarımda Thriller albümü çıkmıştı gerçekten şok edici ve çığır açıcı bir albümdü, günler, haftalar ve aylarca durmaksızın dinlemiştim. Müzik ve gösteri dünyası için büyük kayıp sevenlerinin başı sağolsun.

Burak Abim,

simdi bizi polemigin tam gobegine koydun. Adamcagiz hatasiyla sevabiyla gitti. Allah taksiratini affetsin. Az once haberlerde musluman olmus muydu tartismasi vardi. bu durumda biz ne diyecegiz? topragi bol olsun mu yoksa Allah rahmet eylesin mi? ben sahsi kanaatimi Allah rahmet eylesinden yana kullaniyorum.

selamlar,
Hakan

merhaba Burak bey,
Şanslıyız galiba gençlik dönemimizi Michael Jackson gibi bir yıldızın şarkılarıyla geçirdik.şimdi herbiri klasikleşen o süper şarkıları dinledikçe farklı duygular yaşıyoruz tabi.özel bir dönem sundu bizlere,o yüzden hayatımızda bir zenginlikti M.Jackson.hataları olsa da bence artıları çok fazla.
güzel bir kompozisyon seçmişsiniz çok anlamlı.çok beğendim.ellerinize sağlık.selamlar

mares'ten mi çekildi bu kare?... ya da o sıradaki diğerlerinden birinden, grand yazıcıdan mesela?... ışık nefis, balıklar da yenemeden bayatladı artık!...

ilDottore (3920) 2009-06-28 6:41

Hi Burak,
Very good composed scene.
Idea with flash filling the foreground is very good.
Excellent clouds makes this shot very dramatic.
Good work!

Merhabalar
Moonwalker...king of pop...ve daha bir cok sifat onun icin adanmis olsa da o benim icin uzun seneler okundugu gibi yazildi ve anildi...maykil ceksin(ilkokulda bir anketi aynen bu sekilde doldurmusum)

umarim son zamanlarin "freak" stari yerine king of pop olarak anilir...zira kisisel tarihimizde onemli bir yeri olduguna inaniyorum.

bir arkadasim su yorumu yapmisti;MJ oldu ve gencligimizden bir sayfa kapandi.

iyi pazarlar diliyorum

Bonjour Burak.
C'est un bel hommage à ce chanteur disparu. J'aime ce ciel où le soleil se cache derrière un nuage qui a la forme d'un aigle.
Le premier plan éclairé donne une ambiance encore plus magique.
Beau travail !

Hi Burak

Wacko Jacko was really a very crazy person, but at the same time a musical genius. In 1993 I was covering the Micheal Jackson Concert in Bangkok. That's the only time I saw him live. It was an experience but when you take pictures for agencies you just click and have no time to really listen to the concert. My wife could do so, she was in the crowd watching and stamping. Your picture has a sad mood but in realty his work lives on, his music is not dead - but your picture is fine it represents the global mood. Well done

Best regards
Urs

Bonjour Burak,
des lumières fantastiques, le choix sans doute délibéré d'utiliser un flash pour dynamiser l'avat plan. Un moment décisif de toute beauté, calme et paisible. Un hommage de qualité à cette star disparue.
Bien amicalement.
Daniel.
