His smooth dancing and hits such as Can’t Feel my Face and I Feel it Coming heralded Abel Tesfaye as the new MJ to many, whilst Blinding Lights is a stylistic and commercial equal to Jackson’s very biggest hits.
Often vocally mistaken for Jackson, The Weeknd bears the closest artistic resemblance to the pop icon. Without further ado, let us investigate who is the next Michael Jackson. Acts from any genre are eligible, so long as they carry the most quintessential popstar traits. To keep it specific to this generation, only artists who began their careers or peaked after the 00s will be considered. The artists were chosen based on a synthesis of MJ’s defining attributes- his vocal power, mammoth chart success, game-changing concerts, and cultural adoration and significance. In a quest to determine Jackson’s successor, yours truly has settled on a select few nominees. Nevertheless, some of the most prolific artists of today have cited Jackson as having a huge influence on their work. Last year’s Leaving Neverland and his history of sexual misconduct allegations have thrown his legacy into question. Thriller remains the best-selling album ever, Jackson still earns millions per day years after his death, and his crowning title as the ‘king of pop’ is ingrained in fact, having been named the ‘most successful entertainer of all time’ by Guinness World Records. Many called him the best live music performer ever after groundbreaking live shows such as the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show, whilst world-renowned videos such as Thriller have cemented him at the heart of some of the most important pop culture moments. His trademarks ‘hee-hees’, moonwalks and revolutionary dance routines are instantly recognizable. Michael Jackson is arguably the ultimate music artist his very essence exuberates star quality. This piece aims to find the successor of this star power, but always bearing in mind Jackson's moral bankruptcy.** His music will always be contextualised by his sexual misconduct and I aim to make my argument around which artist most resembles Jackson in terms of the success of his music when he was alive.

Jackson is first and foremost a problematic figure and I want to avoid glorifying him or giving him a free pass because of the quality of his music. His crimes were heinous, and there is no excusing the wrongdoings he committed. Once again this proves to me that superior technology gives excellent results in practice.’ĭicroic has carried out many fixed installations using L-Acoustics systems, including the Sanctuary Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Club Equador, Club Vanilla the Croatian National Theatre in Split and Saturnus Discoteque in Zadar, and Dubrovnik Airport.**Before commencing with the article, I would like to address the allegations against Jackson. ‘For the Hotel Lone’s jazz club, L-Acoustics has provided an outstanding listening experience with its distinctive warm and precise sound. ‘This allowed us to get extremely good results in the hotel’s multi-purpose conference hall in terms of excellent sound coverage without reflection, with a small amount of enclosures. ‘Using L-Acoustics’ 3D acoustical simulation program SoundVision, we were able to determine the precise position of the 12XTis,’ says Dicroic’s Slaven Tahirbegović. At the opposite end of the room to the stage is a delay system of two L-Acoustics 108Ps. The Hotel Lone jazz club sound system uses two12XTis at LR in front of the stage along with two ground-stacked SB18i subwoofers. Designed principally to provide coverage for the main auditorium, the system can also be subdivided to provide sound for three smaller rooms – two 12XTis and two SB18is for the first hall, two 108Ps for the second, and two 108Ps for the third. The 600-capacity congress hall has been equipped with L-Acoustics 12XTis as a LR system, with two 108Ps as delays and two ground-stacked SB18i subwoofers, all powered by LA4 amplified controllers. A second system has been installed in the hotel’s jazz club. To accommodate these, Dicroic has installed an L-Acoustics system into the hotel’s multi-purpose conference hall, which is designed to host a range of conferences and theatrical and concert events. Hotel Lone is Croatia’s first five-star hotel, providing a year-round leisure and business services. Here, local distributor Dicroic was able to desplay its installation skills as well as the performance of an L-Acoustics 12XTi coaxial system. The latest addition to the Croatian Maistra chain of hotels and resorts is an exclusive resort on the waterfront of Lone Bay, in the protected Monte Mulini forest of Rovinj.
