Commemorative speech on Michael Jackson
Commemorative speech about Michael Jackson
My Favorite idol
Special person, one of the greatest contributor to American pop music industry.
Influenced billions of people worldwide with his many self-composed songs and dance moves
Famously known to have changed his skin colour
Won total of 13 Grammy awards (8 in one night during the 1984 Grammy award ceremony which earned him an entry in the Guisness world record )
A controversial figure. But let’s just focus on his achievements and his humanitarian efforts.
Make a guess?
1. As a musician & remarkable vocalist
Achievements
Started off as a leading vocalist in Jackson 5 at the age of 5. (Remarkable range & emotion)
At 13, launched off as a soloist while continue to be member of Jackson 5.
By 20, his increased fame and establishment as a rising star also help his band “The Jacksons” to sell more than a million copy for their album “Triumph” in 1980.
One of his greatest accomplishment in his music career was the song “Triller”, which stayed on the chart for 80 weeks and no.1 spots for 37 weeks, in which he was labelled “King of Pop” for his wide influences and legacy in the pop music world.
Vocalist and music styles
From a soprano-turned tenor, his voice range remained huge from F2, and to the Eflat key one octave above the middle C.
Used the technique of “vocal hiccup” – like gasping for air (Unqiue method)
Higher tenor range could easily slide into the falsetto range
Between different genres of songs, he uses different form of expressions wisely
(e.g. famous Heal the World and Billie Jeans, you could hear different styles. In Billie Jeans he was heard screaming and using the vocal hiccup method more than in Heal the World with his produced a more round and thick and melancholic voice) - Good rendition
- Conveys his ideas and feelings through his compositions
(For example, Earth Song dealt with environmental and animal welfare)
(For example, Heal the World talks about need to
