It’s clear that Michael Jackson was created by American media and music industry. But it also should be taken into consideration that MJ was not an ordinary person…. This discussion goes to classical conflict between cultural industry and popular culture approaches. I’m sure that this is not true place to pursue that discussion….

Incidentally, I thought the post on “pan-ethnic” labels was also good, but I don’t know what else to call him.

Michael Jackson was a highly exceptional person, but his international fame was made possible by a global media culture where Western, and particularly American, stars are dominant. Jackson was an extremely unique figure but he is not by far the only example of this.

They represent the worldwide appreciation of and mourning for a musical genius who happened to be American.
