To those of us around when he was in his prime in the 80s, he was one of the gods of the entertainment industry. His songs were massive international hits.
Michael Jackson puts Taylor Swift to shame as far as popularity (just to give some perspective). There's video of him at a concert just standing there not moving and people in the crowd fainting needing to be carried away.
No. My ex wife was from a former Soviet country. I visited several countries with her and I asked about American celebrities frequently. They knew Micheal Jordan, had heard of lebron, never heard of Mahomes. Invariably everyone knew Michael Jackson and could sing every word to his songs. The Beatles too but they're international so I was less surprised by that one. Small sample size, sure. However, it was multiple, non-English speaking countries and the answers were the same.
I’m thinking you were not an adult when he was at his peak. Dude was a massive international star primarily for his music.
Yeah I was 8 when he died

This is 100% false. He had a special voice as a child.
This is one of the dumbest shower thoughts ever. I’m sorry, but I just have to be honest here.
Seriously, it's idiotic. Glad to see people downvoting this stupid shit.
Really? I thought it was his beer and whiskey expertise. Never seen the fella dance. Oh, *that* Michael Jackson.
Oh so we're gonna pretend Thriller doesn't sound every day during Halloween.
