Michael Jackson, is one of the icons of the twentieth century, he was a great dancer and singer, but, most of all, I think that he could managed the media very well, and make it work for him, in a sense. This said, of course, without taking him a bit of his tremendous talent.

I think it was a combination of all of above. He was put into or forced in the spotlight at such a young age. His music was enjoyed for a lot of generations. He created the moonwalk which to this day people try to imitate. Celebrities can't do anything without the media being right there up their behinds. I don't think any celebrity can make it without the media promoting them.
