Michael Jackson was known for many things, a world-class showman, a music video visionary, as well as the King of Pop. However, unusual for such a legendary singer, his raw talent as a vocalist isn’t something that is mentioned much.
Hence Rolling Stone racking him a mere 86 on a list of the 200 greatest singers. Michael Jackson’s singing was distinctive of course, but to critics was he a ‘great singer’ anyway?

I don’t even need to watch this video to know he was a good singer.
I still cry when I hear Michael's vocals. No matter how many times I listen. Truly magic ✨
Best artist voice ever
Most unexpected MJ video I have seen. I mean who would even question that ?
His style is unique in every way. That is why he is above the rest. Period.
His diction in some lyrics were a bit tough to get at times. But 9:17 🤣🤣🤣 Wow I never heard that but now I can't unhear it. Billie Jean was the song for me. Sounded like "just a chance she's not my love" is what I'd hear but the lyrics are totally different.
Pmsl.. can he really sing.
No1.. this youtuber is making money off mj saying can he really sing..
No.2. When u hear him sing human nature then smooth criminal..
No.3…who fcking showed em how to sing.. come together . End it there
I can’t with this channel
Stop trying to steal his SHOW!!!!!He is the GREATEST!!!!
I really love your contact I’m a big fan of the detail. I have been for many many years and every time that I see your videos and watch them I’m just amazed that the information you have on the KingOfPop is wonderful to the watch so thank you so much and I’m so glad I’m a fan.❤
I love his voice is unique.
anyone who can harmonize with themselves to be their own full background singers, is brilliant with an amazing vocal talent!
What kind of question is this? Of course he is now let the man rest in peace
i laughed at the misquote partt,, haha
This man was outclassing professional singers at just 11 years old. People have lost their damn minds to not realize that because Michael's voice was so unique, it never needed to be categorized. He was in a league of his own. A league no one will ever match.
I Love it
@1:35 that ain't. Marvin lol
Major MJ fan but those lyrics had me dying tbh 😂
Y’all should touch base on his childhood vocal technique and how he matured into the off the wall era
Michael and his sister Janet are the only musicians, that people don't imitate in talent shows.
Damn y’all confused Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding for one another 🤦🏾♂️ 1:32
Yes he was a great singer when he 13 he considered the 3rd best singer in the world!!!
Music isn't just about the technicalities, Mj is loved because of great ability to sing ALONG with his expression and inflections and his style of singing that's so uniquely his and iconic. Was Van Gogh a technical painter? not particularly but he was good enough to where it was obvious that he knew what he was doing but it was his expression and uniqueness that made him what many would consider the greatest painter of all time. Michael captured so much in his art that propelled him past all of his peers, him being just "decent" at something specifically (which is singing) is okay whenever literally everything else is exceptional. So exceptional that it earned him imo the greatest of all time title
He's the gold standard
