Similarities between Michael Jackson and AR Rahman

Excellent Chord. I admire both of them soooo... much. Both of them canged the
face of music. Michael Jackson also achieved the perfection in dance. He showed
the world what is called dancing. When we hear 'beat it' or 'bellie jeans' its
hard to believe that its 1981's music. Till date millions of music videos has
been made, but non of them give me more pleasure, entertainment, enjoyment etc.
than MJ's videos.

Miss u MJ a lot.

It's interesting the psychology of why someone's work of art becomes popular
again when that person dies, supported by recent stats showing that MJ's music
is topping charts worldwide again.

> As I downloaded some of his most famous and influential songs from Itunes
recently and listened carefully, I could not help draw up some comparisons
between his music and ARR's. Here are some parallels that I thought of:
>
> 1) MJ and ARR are both perfectionists. There is a quality to both their bodies
of work that define high achievement and perfectionism, a certain drive and
ambition and motivation to be the best they can possibly be, often working
ridiculous hours to achieve this.
>
> 2) Tightness and crispness of arrangements. Both MJ and ARR boast of extremely
high quality arrangements in their music and a very tight and planned set of
arrangements that are line with their perfectionistic work ethics.
>
> 3) Both masters of rhythm: ARR and MJ both boast of extremely high quality
rhythmic concepts and super-intelligent rhythmic patterns in their songs. Again,
consistent with tightness.
>
> 4) Both are trend setters: MJ and ARR were both trend setters in their own
ways. Both revolutionized music in their own respective spheres and had a huge
following among artists of their kind.
>
> 5) Both are passionate about unity, diversity, and charity: MJ and ARR share a
very similar type of compassion towards the world, towards the less fortunate,
and both believe in transcending artificial boundaries to help unify cultures
and races and highlight bonds that tie us all together, irrespective race,
culture, etc. Through their music, they were able to transcend and go beyond
hard set boundaries that were not able to be transcended before (ARR with
regional and international reaches and MJ with racial and ethnic reaches).
