Introduction
To define a genius is not easy, yet there are a number of definitions. One which we could remember with regard to Michael Jackson refers to the natural aptitude that makes a person capable of creating extraordinary new things. The term genius would therefore be a gift, a natural gift that could not accept the slightest attempt of finding an explanation and would therefore arise from the indescribable. The famed ballet dancer Margot Fonteyn once quoted: “genius is a kind of magic and the secret of magic is that you cannot explain it”. Genius cannot be theorized.
