Greetings everyone, how has the week been for all of you? A week zoom past just like this and I've been in work summit for quite a number of days for this week. Hope you've found the artiste spotlight segment interesting and know more about the artiste and their music. Today's post will be Artiste Spotlight, game progress, results of the last giveaway and the new giveaway this week.
Artiste Spotlight
The artiste that I will be featuring today will be the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I believe Michael Jackson (MJ) will be very familiar to you guys. He was an iconic American singer, songwriter, and prolific dancer. His albums always had record sales, with "Thriller" having an estimated 66 million copies sold worldwide.
Here's how the King of Pop Look Like:

MJ started his career performing alongside his older siblings in a group named Jackson 5 in the late 1960s. He subsequently performing solo in the 1970s and in 1979 after releasing the album "Off The Wall", it marks the departure from the group as he moved towards being a solo artiste.
Subsequently came the era of "Thriller" where it started a trend of groundbreaking music videos that combined music, dance, and storytelling. And this is where the King of Pop solidifies his status as he brings great music and defining dance moves such as the moon walk.
MJ's music style blends in various genres such as pop, R&B, rock, funk, and dance. This eclectic mix allowed him to appeal to a wide and diverse audience. MJ's vocal range was impressive, allowing him to hit high notes with precision and convey emotions effectively. His unique voice, which had distinctive timbre and versatility, contributed to the success of his songs. Throughout his career, MJ also collaborated with numerous artiste such Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and even the whole array of artist in "We Are The World".
Here are some of MJ's more prominent songs which showcase the unique music style and his amazing dance moves:
Billie Jean - The Moon Walk
Beat It
Smooth Criminal - Anti Gravity Dance Move
Black or White - Face Morphing Music Video
And that's it for this week's Artiste Spotlight. Hope you like the tunes that I've picked and learned more about the King of Pop.
