BEST MUSICIANS EVER???
What is going on in this world? I was going through youtube and listening to some great music and came across Whitney Houston. I could not but help relate her with Michael Jackson with her problems and everything. Well in my mind I just said maybe that's the price you pay to be regarded as the best ever. Michael Jackson is the best musician ever to grace the earth, I am not exaggerating it is just a fact. He is unique because of all the qualities he has, he probably redefined dance and took it to a level nobody has reached till today. To talk about his dance alone would not do justice to his amazing voice which is often overlooked. To compare the way he sings to great musicians would be difficult because what Michael Jackson does that is more amazing is not released and that is what makes him amazing, just when you think he can sing pop and R&B, he then blows your mind singing opera, yes you heard that right. He is so talented it is insane. Combining those two makes him just ahead of Ray Charles who defines grace and exquisite by opening his mouth to sing, a genius would be an understatement in describing Ray.
Then you have Whitney Houston who for me is the best female vocalist by some distance, no one comes near her not Mariah, not Alicia, not Beyonce, not Alicia Keys. Nobody comes close no matter how hard you try to compare them, you then come to the realization that they are in completely different planets where Whitney exists on her own. Do not ever make the mistake to compare her with any female artist because it would be stupid to do such things. Powerful and greatest ever are the two things that come to mind when I think of her. When Whitney sings angels stand still to appreciate God's talent. When She sing people cry not because She is very good but because She is just a little bit better than extraordinary. She makes you forget your sorrow and pain and make you think of everything good in life. I am not here to debate about how good She is, it is just that when you see someone who is better than excellent you say it. However the problem now is that why do they have so much problem. Whitney is on crack and Michael has problems that gets thrown to him as soon as they are invented.
Do the problem arise because they are just too good? Do the problem arise because they know that they are something special and affect people lives and know that certain people live on their music? Do they want to escape all of the attention that fame has brought? I don't know! However what I would say is that they are throwing something special away, the fact that they could be regarded as one of the best musicians ever because what their problems does is that it paints a dark picture on their talent. How would I remember Whitney and Michael? I think that I would keep that to myself because it is in fact impossible to say I would remember her as a musician because I would never have written the article if She did not have her problem. I would remember something though that when it comes to singing Whitney and Michael are on different planet of too talented. I know people talk about Einstein and people who get 10 A grades in Alevel but what Michael and Whitney have done to music is a bit more than (E=mc^2).
My prayer however is that they come back to their senses soon and start doing what they do best which is making people happy with their songs. My prayer is that people would remember both of them as extraordinary singers who took singing to a new level where nobody comes near. 1985 Billie Jean might not happen again but what I want is that they open their mouth to sing. Remember Michael and Whitney, people look up to you even with all the problems you have, some even go as far as worship you. Come back please for yourself and everybody all over the world.
Enjoy!
