Rolling Stone magazine commented that "Michael Jackson is a perfect storm that combines innate talent and acquired training. When he was a child, he was amazing when he sang: he completely interpreted "I want you to come back"-there may be only one abandoned note in this song, which makes me crazy because he is only 1 1 year old! " One of the most critical elements in his style is how he uses his voice as a musical instrument. His signature grunts-including "uh", "oh" and so on-are common rhythms for guitarists and drummers. He is one of the most rhythmic singers in history. "And he has a crazy range. I can sing very high, but when I get to Beat It, I will give up halfway. His voice is incredibly high. In Beat Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller, I think he sang a high C (high C) or even a high C key, which no one can do. What people don't realize is that he can also sing bass. You can hear it in the song "Burn This Disco Out" of the album "Off The Wall"-he entered the bass range here and shocked me. " No matter who they are, as long as they become as big as him, you will ignore how revolutionary they are in the first place, but Michael Jackson pushed away pop music and R&; The boundary of music. Think about it: on Beat It, you hear an R&; Singer B is singing a vibrant rock song with eddie van halen. Or at the beginning of Byakki Smoker, he added an electronic echo to his voice, and every time he said, "Ah!" You can hear it for miles. To me, it is similar to those things made by Brian Eno, a master of atmosphere music. His music has survived to this day. "
