16. 邁克爾·杰克遜

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958) is an outstanding American musician. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: off the Wall (1979),Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and History (1995).

邁克爾·約瑟夫 ·杰克遜(1958年8月29日出生),美國杰出的音樂人。他是杰克遜家族的第七個孩子。他第一次登上專業(yè)的音樂舞臺是作為杰克遜五兄弟演唱組的成員。那時候他11歲。1971年,他還在這個組合時就開始了自己的獨(dú)唱生涯。他的個人專輯成為了世界上銷量最好的唱片——《培外》(1979),《顫栗》(1982),《真棒》(1987),《危險》和《歷史》,并在之后的歲月里被譽(yù)為“流行音樂之王”。

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-credited for transforming the music videos into an art form and a promotional tool--helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" kept Jackson as a staple on MTV into 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 numerous hip-hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

在20世紀(jì)80年代,他成為了流行音樂的代表人物,也是第一個在音樂電視成功之后強(qiáng)勢轉(zhuǎn)型的非洲裔美國人。他的音樂視頻在音樂電視臺播放,很受歡迎,比如“避開”“比利 ·瓊”和“顫栗”——因?yàn)榘岩魳蜂浵駧ё兂闪艘环N藝術(shù)形式和一種促銷手段而受贊譽(yù)——這幫他把名聲提到一個相當(dāng)新的層次。錄像帶比如“是黑是白”和“尖叫”讓杰克遜成為了20世紀(jì)90年代音樂電視上的重要部分。杰克遜的舞臺表演和音樂視頻推廣了很多運(yùn)用身體的復(fù)雜的跳舞技巧,比如機(jī)械舞和太空步。他與眾不同的悅耳嗓音和發(fā)聲方式影響了許多街舞、流行音樂和同時期的藍(lán)調(diào)音樂藝術(shù)家們。

Jackson has donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his Dangerous World Tour, charity singles and support of 39 charities. However, other aspects of his personal life-including his changing appearance and eccentric behaviour-generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. He was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, the criminal investigation was closed clue to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. He then married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. The singer has experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.

杰克遜通過他的“危險世界巡演”,慈善單曲演唱和對39個慈善機(jī)構(gòu)的支持為公益事業(yè)捐贈或募集了成百萬上千萬美元。然而,他個人生活的其他方面—— 包括他面貌的改變和古怪的行為——引發(fā)了嚴(yán)重的爭議,損害了他的公眾形象。1993年他被指控犯了虐童罪,但是由于證據(jù)不足調(diào)查結(jié)束,杰克遜沒有被起訴。后來,他結(jié)過兩次婚,成為了三個孩子的父親,這也引起了更大的爭議。從20世紀(jì)90年代早期,這位歌手就經(jīng)歷了健康上的麻煩;20世紀(jì)90年代后期他的財務(wù)狀況報告又自相矛盾。2005年時,杰克遜因?yàn)楦嗟男耘按推渌缚乇粚徟?,最終被無罪釋放。

Jackson died on June 25, 2009 from a drug overdose, amidst preparations for his This Is It concert series.

2009年6月25日,杰克遜死于用藥過量。當(dāng)時他正在準(zhǔn)備他的This Is It系列演唱會。
