First off, 18+.
Anyway, he not only was he a supremely talented vocalist and dancer, he was hyper autistic in making sure his music was produced to perfection and collaborated with music producers who were equally talented in that role. So you have music that's easily accessible, but uplifted through sheer workrate.
All it took was some child abuse, really.

For a music star, he's the closest thing to the whole package you can get. In fact, I would say that the only thing he was missing is the ability to play an instrument at a good level, but besides that he had it all, good voice, stage presence, attention to detail, the production, dancing and everything else.

Hitler unironically wanted to be made into what they attempted with MJ. Hitler wasn't the result of channeling a demiurge. The Reich was a movement that wanted to the Occult a city-state to validate it as not just a religion but force on earth. It wanted to be the Vatican but with actual outer world power along with political power. Hitler was a figurehead of a sophisticated cabal.
