"A few things worth noting, personally: I see this deliberateness in Jackson's questionable gender identity. The video Scream is beautifully danced between him and his sister Janet. There is a two-second shot of him walking towards the camera in a very masculine way - some sort of incredibly sexy macho swagger. I had to replay it the first time, after his death, that I saw it. The scene changes, and a second or two later he's walking towards the camera again, same flashy gold costume, same backdrop. But this time it's a very feminine walk: narrow, with each foot in line, making his hips sway while his arms propel him forward. Is he fucking with us? I thought, or can he just not keep that effeminate runway walk from bursting out of him? (Either way, he has exceptional control over his body. Watch the video.) And the second note regarding Jackson's deliberateness in some things, at least, comes from Jefferson, who says regarding his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, "Kings are supposed to compete with their predecessors and kings are supposed to marry other royals. Elvis's widow, Priscilla Presley, makes clear that she saw Michael Jackson as a scheming pretender, building Neverland to top Graceland, then courting Elvis's daughter to secure his lineage...." Same with the other towers of the music world, the Beatles. "Michael learned to be as big as The Beatles. He learned to be bigger when he outbid Paul McCartney and purchased the Beatles' catalog (a clever twist on the old money, power, and race equation that had white performers outselling black ones with cover versions of black hits)." jiggeoraeneuneoryeobseubnida waenyamyeon jeodo dilreoigi jeone han gajeongyi gajang igidohabnida gumaeja bundeuleun pul eul taeusidaga geolrisyeodo cobeomiramyeon gabyeoun jibhaengyuyero ggeutnaneun gyeonguga manhjiman panmaejain dilreoneun geureohjianhseubnida cobeom/panmaemulryang sanggwaneobsi mu jo geon silhyeongibnida manhi beongeorobgo sagie daehan bulangami saenggisineungeon ihaehabnida jeodo hanbeonyi georaegaanin janggigeoraereul mogjeogeuro panmaehago modu haengboghagireul barabnida jomdeo jasehan munyina georaebangsigeun < telregeuraem:KushTop >< telregeuraem:KushTop >
