Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop, was a singer, songwriter and dancer. What I admire most about him is his sincerity and seriousness when it comes to his work/music, as well as his complex but energetic dance moves like the moonwalk. What makes the moonwalk so special is that it was invented by him and not everyone is able to dance it the way he does, which makes it his signature move. Another thing that makes him stand out to me is the way he sings his music with all passion that all listeners possess, which has inspired me to captivate my audience with the way I deliver my words. Michael has inspired me to be unique, hardworking, creative, and powerful, which are all aspects that lead to his legacy that shall never be forgotten.

Eminem is a rapper who has had a huge impact on the music industry. What makes his style so admirable is his ability to write brilliant lyrics and fast-paced bars that he can express in so many different tones. For example, when I first listened to his song "Rap God," I was fascinated by the speed and power he displays when rapping, the way he can switch his personality depending on the mood of the song - sometimes he's crazy and sarcastic, other times he's a ruthless monster - the unexpected phrases he utters, and the confidence he displays left me amazed and wanting more. It made me want to use such effective bars when rapping, be confident, have flow, and make crazy transitions. He changed the rap game, and really is a genius lyricist that I admire and respect.
