Overview: Michael Jackson: Devotion is a biography on the King of Pop and his unending commitment to music and performance.

On June 25th, 2009, the world stood still to receive the news that Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was dead.

Devotion looks at the King of Pop’s inspiring life--one led with devotion.

DVD Verdict: Michael Jackson died on June 25th, 2009, at the age of 50 in Los Angeles, California. He suffered cardiac arrest at his rented home from a lethal combination of propofol and sedatives administered by his personal physician, stunning fans worldwide just weeks before his planned comeback concerts.

Personally, I was attending the largest university (by population) in America, Arizona State and they cancelled classes for the rest of the day, because it’s all every single person was talking about, teachers and students, so no lectures were actually happening.

Anyway, and simply put, Michael Jackson left the world with a timeless cultural footprint defined by the best-selling album in history (Thriller), groundbreaking music videos that transformed MTV, iconic dance innovations like the moonwalk, and a massive philanthropic and musical legacy that continues to shape global pop culture.

He gave the world a transformed music landscape, groundbreaking dance styles, cinematic short films, and hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid. His contributions spanned global pop culture, racial barriers in media, and massive philanthropic efforts focused on children and world relief.

He WAS pop, R&B, soul, funk, and rock. His art redefined global culture, broke racial barriers, and set unmatched standards for vocal performance, dance, and music videos.

Introducing a modern disco and funk fusion with hits like Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough and Rock with You he also brought us Thriller (1982); the best-selling album of all time featuring iconic anthems like Billie Jean, Beat It, and the title track itself.

Bad came out in 1987 and generated five consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, including the title track, Smooth Criminal, and Man in the Mirror, whilst the next album Dangerous (1991) pushed new jack swing and pop boundaries with Black or White and the humanitarian anthem Heal the World.

Few artists had that passion, energy, and dedication to create perfection with their performances. To provide music that has value on a worldwide scale, music that could make a significant change in people’s minds and attitude — for the better.

We need more artists like him, just like we need health and air to breathe.

We need artists like him, to provide a meaningful message through their music & lyrics. And Michael Jackson - Tribute showcases this perfectly.
