In the vast landscape of ever-changing music, becoming a pop icon is a rare and prestigious achievement that many big names have failed to attain. Michael Jackson, who is often hailed as the King of Pop, was a legendary figure who secured this massive feat.
The man revolutionized the music industry with his talent, and his sense of rhythm and melody made fans groove to his music. His fame and stardom were unrivaled until another massive name came into the picture: none other than Taylor Swift.
However, the fans of theDelicatesinger did not go out of their way to prove her popularity, as they respect MJ. Moreover, an old video has surfaced showcasing how Jackson could not escape his stardom even in the deep jungle of the Amazon Rainforest.
Michael Jackson’s Music Was Even Enjoyed By Amazonian Tribes
The genius ofMichael Jacksoncan’t be forgotten, even after his demise. He became a cultural icon, continuing to make an impact on pop culture. Thanks to his groundbreaking music videos and jaw-dropping dance moves, fans still love listening to him.
His albums,ThrillerandBad, broke numerous records and became some of the best-selling albums of all time. TheSmooth Criminalsinger appealed to a wide genre of fans because he did not create music limited to one genre.

His music blended various genres, including pop, rock, R&B, and funk, which brought a fresh take to the music and felt like it was released yesterday. Some fans and even cultural critics like Bill Simmons believe that Taylor Swift is as big as MJ viaThe Street.
However, they have most likely forgotten that theBillie Jeansinger’s music was once enjoyed by the most remote tribe in the Amazon. In an age-old video onYouTube, the Xingu people gathered before a television, where they were shown several incidents and names of people who were infectiously popular back then.
A clip of the renowned French footballer, Zinedine Zidane, was played, where the Amazonians did not know him. However, when a clip of The King of Pop was played, their faces brightened up, and upon asking, they said it was“Michael Jackson,”adding that they saw him on“TV, once in town.”

This was a great way of demonstrating that he had global influence, especially in a world where the internet was not a thing back then. And this level of popularity is something that modern artists like Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and Sabrina Carpenter can only dream of.
Fans React To The Xingu Peoples Recognizing Michael Jackson
TheThrillersinger’s fame stemmed from his ability to create music that brought people of different backgrounds together. A fan page (@penganase) shared that clip from the interview with the caption,“Not knowing snow but knowing Michael is crazy.”
However, that was not all because music enthusiasts gathered at the post, where they all came to the collective decision that no matter how renowned modern pop artists become, they can never reach the same level of fame as theSmooth Criminalsinger.
@seabassjokes commented,“snow? never heard of it…MJ? Oh, that’s the man right there”
@mackenzieviii commented,“That’s why it’s laughable when artist try to compare themselves to him in a anyway 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺��”
@khiree_esq commented,“Bro was more famous than snow”
@imetalman2000 commented,“Micheal Jackson can’t even escape to the deep jungle without even being recognized. His music transcended the globe.”
@itsme_mszee commented,“BEFORE THE INTERNET this man reached everybody in every corner of the world. That is what you call the THE GREATEST”
@trevon_6277424 commented,“If you’re not more famous than the weather… can you really say you’re famous?!”
Nevertheless, fans will get to relive the pop singer’s popularity as his biopic is in the works, and the news of the film has been approved by his fans as it will featureJaafar Jackson in the lead role.
Smooth Criminalcan be streamed on Spotify.
