|
| rdfs:comment | - With stage performances and music videos, Jackson, referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. The dance moves impacted on the lives of several young artists, who sought to emulate their idol. Jackson's clothing was also a source of inspiration for many people. The attire he wore during the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever performance of "Billie Jean" inspired millions of children to don black fedoras and single white gloves. Among those who sought or sported the single glove were Beanie Sigel and Fefe Dobson, the latter insisting that she was Jackson.

Many current contemporary R&B, pop and hip hop artists were influenced by Jackson. Spin editor Doug Brod commented, "In terms of pop songs and performance, Jackson pretty much has no peer. Every current pop star, from Kanye West to Rihanna, will say he's their biggest influence. His impact on the pop charts has been phenomenal." Jackson has stated that several of the artists that he influenced are as equally inspiring to him. "I think Justin is doing a wonderful job as well as Usher and it's great to see. I'm inspired by what they do and I'm sure I inspired him and it's very nice."
