能达到周杰伦的成就吗？

能把楼主的鱼竿打歪

"Michael Jackson was the best. Not just as a vocalist but as a musician. He took it to the sky. He could play piano a little but he wasn't that kind of a musician. Michael's instrument was his voice and ideas. Quincy's instrument, and mine I guess, was the studio. It was such a great thing working with Michael; we just kept pushing the musical boundaries. Was I lucky or what?"
迈克尔·杰克逊是最棒的。不只是作为一个歌手，而且是作为一个音乐家。他做到了极致。他会弹一点钢琴，但他不是那种类型的音乐家。迈克尔的乐器是他的声音和想法。昆西的乐器，我猜也是我的，就是录音室。和迈克尔一起工作真是太棒了；我们只是不断地拓展音乐的边界。我是很幸运还是什么？

"Once he went on his knees and started playing piano in the barn. He played a few notes then began singing. It was a love song and sounded really good and he had actually written it right there in front of me. It was amazing to watch, it took him about 6 minutes. When he got up I said did you just write that? He said ´yeah, but I have forgotten it already´. Then he started looking for something else to do. No matter what his problems are, the man is a complete genius."
有一次，他跪在地上，开始弹钢琴。他弹奏了几个音符，然后开始唱歌。这是一首情歌，听起来很美妙，这首歌就写在我的面前。观看这个过程是惊人的，他大约花了6分钟。他站起来的时候我说那是你刚写的吗？他说‘是的，但我已经忘记了’。然后他开始找别的事情做。不管他有什么问题，他都是一个完全的天才。

他能在键盘上弹旋律，但我不会称他是个好的演奏者。记住，当你能马上打电话找来葛列格•菲利格内斯（Greg Phillinganes）和兰迪•克贝尔（Randy Kerber），你就不需要做太多了。之前，他在《满足为止》（Don’t Stop）上敲击瓶子。迈克尔的乐器就是他的声音 —— 我们有许多天才来处理其它所有东西。

Q: Did Michael Jackson write the lyrics to most of his music? How involved was he in the production of his records? Did he ever play any musical instruments? In general, how deep was his musical acumen?
迈克尔·杰克逊的大部分歌曲都是他写的歌词吗?他是如何参与制作他的唱片的?他曾经演奏过乐器吗?总的来说，他的音乐才能有多深?
He wrote more as time went on. I suspect that he was quite involved in production of his music after Off The Wall. I think he knew how to play the guitar but didn't do it much. With all he learned at Motown and beyond, I would say he had strong musical knowledge.
随着时间的推移，他写得越来越多。我想他在《Off The Wall》之后完全参与了他的音乐制作。我认为他知道怎么弹吉他，但不怎么弹。从他在摩城和其他地方学到的东西来看，我会说他有很强的音乐知识。

Jackson first wrote and recorded "Don't Be Messin'" during the Thriller sessions with engineer Brent Averill. Around this time he was working on a variety of musical ideas, including demos of "P.Y.T." and "Billie Jean." "Don't Be Messin'" features Jackson himself playing piano ("He could do more than he ever really let people know," Forger says.) He also produced, arranged, and guided many of the instrumental parts, including the cinematic strings, Jonathan Maxey's piano part in the bridge, and David Williams funky guitar licks.
杰克逊是在与录音师Brent Averill合作《Thriller》期间首次创作并录制了《Don’t Be Messin’》这首歌。大约在这个时候，他致力于各种各样的音乐灵感，包括《P.Y.T.》和《Billie Jean》的demo。《Don’t Be Messin’》的特色是杰克逊自己弹奏了钢琴(※“他能做的比他真正让人们知道的还要多，”Forger说。)他还制作、安排和指导了许多器乐部分，包括影片弦乐，Jonathan Maxey在桥接处的钢琴部分和David Williams的funky吉他乐句。
Ultimately, since "Don't Be Messin'" wasn't fully developed and so much other strong material was coming in for Thriller, Jackson decided to put the song on the back burner, having in mind to revisit it for his next album. "That was kind of how Michael developed ideas and songs," explains Forger. "He let the song unfold in its own time. Sometimes a song wasn't ready or didn't quite fit the character of an album or a project and it would stay in the vaults. And then at a certain point of time, he would pull it out again."
最终，因为《Don't Be Messin》还没有得到充分的发展，并且《Thriller》中还有很多其他强有力的素材，杰克逊决定暂且搁置这首歌，并打算在他的下一张专辑中重新审视它。“这就是迈克尔发展灵感和歌曲的方式，”Forger解释说，“他让歌曲在合适的时间开展。有时候，一首歌还没准备好，或者不太符合专辑或项目的特点，它就会被留在储藏室里。然后在某个时间点，他又会把它拿出来。”

He would beatbox a lot… always thinking of new ideas. It was so common that we wouldn’t really ask if it was a new song, we just waited for him to ask for a fresh piece of tape.
他经常beatbox……总是有着新的灵感。这是很平常的事，我们不会问那是不是一首新歌，我们只需要等着他去索要一盘新的录音磁带。
As to mimicing an instrument, he could beat-box better than anyone I have ever heard, and he could "sing" guitar parts, bass parts, keyboard sounds, etc., for the musicians to get ideas and his direction for a song.
至于模仿乐器，他的beatbox比我听过的任何人都更出色，他可以“唱”出吉他的部分，贝斯部分，键盘的声音等等，来指导其他音乐家们根据他的灵感（想法）和指导去制作一首歌。

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So I stay in the moment and listen.
人们问我如何创作音乐。我告诉他们，我只是置身其中。这就像踏进一条河并且随之流动。在河中每时每刻都有它的歌声。所以我停留在这一瞬间，去倾听。
What I hear is never the same. A walk through the woods brings a light, crackling song: Leaves rustle in the wind, birds chatter and squirrels scold, twigs crunch underfoot and the beat of my heart holds it all together. When you join the flow, the music is inside and outside, and both are the same. As long as I can listen to the moment, I’ll always have music.
我所听到的从来都不一样。在树林里散步时，会有一种轻快的、充满活力的歌声：树叶在风中沙沙作响，鸟儿叽叽喳喳的啼，松鼠也在咕咕叫，脚下的树枝发出嘎吱嘎吱的声音，我跳动的心把这一切联系在一起。你随之流动，音乐是内在的和外在的，两者殊途同归。只要我能倾听此刻，我将永远拥有音乐。

The songwriting process is something very difficult to explain, because it's very spiritual. It's, uh...You really have it in the hands of God, and it's as if its been written already - that's the real truth. As if its been written in its entirety before were born and you're just really the source through which the song come. Really. Because there is...they just fall right into your lap in it's entirety. You don't have to do much thinking about it. And I feel guilty having to put my name, sometimes, on the songs that I - I do write them - I compose them, I write them, I do the scoring, I do the lyrics, I do the melodies but still, it's a...it's a work of God."
写歌的过程是很难解释的，因为它是很有灵性的。这是，呃………它真正的被掌握在上帝手中，就好像它已经被写出来了——这才是真正的真理。就好像这首歌在诞生之前就已经完整地写完了，而你就是这首歌的真正来源。真的。因为有……它们会完全落在你身上。你不需要想太多。有时候，我不得不把我的名字标注在我写的歌上，我感到很内疚——我为这些歌作曲，我写了这些歌，完成了配乐、歌词、旋律，但这仍然是……这是上帝的杰作。

Michael Jackson the Beatboxer?
Unknown to most people, Michael Jackson was also an extraordinary beatboxer. He would form the beats in his head, produce sounds of the entire band with his mouth, and then tape record the idea down. Not only was he a talented singer and dancer, he was also a top notch vocal percussionist that was hard to beat in in terms of musicality. He also performed it live at the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1993.
不为大多数人所知的是，MJ也是一名非凡的beatboxer。他会在脑海中形成节拍，用嘴发出整个乐队的声音，然后把这个灵感录下来。他不仅是一位才华横溢的歌手和舞者，他还是一位顶级的口技表演者，在乐感方面无人能及。1993年，他还在奥普拉脱口秀上进行了现场表演。
How He Wrote Songs?
Interestingly, Michael Jackson wrote songs by thinking carefully of the song in his head before producing the harmony, melody, bass line, and drums, using his mouth to record a sample.
有趣的是，迈克尔·杰克逊在制作和声、旋律、低音线和鼓之前，会在脑海中仔细思考这首歌，然后用嘴来录制样本，从而创作歌曲。

那周杰伦就变成华语历史第二人了。。。

听完歌 了解下人家生平 你就不会来🎣了

讲道理，他要是唱中文歌那肯定就是第一人了，但是如果还是唱英文歌，则有水花，却不能有太大的成就
