2. Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 and he’s from Gary,
Indiana in America. He had four brothers and a sister, name
Marlon Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Jackie Jackson
and Janet Jackson and mother and father name Joseph Jackson
and Katherine Jackson. Michael became the lead singer of his
family group, the Jackson 5, since when he was 5 years old. He
then did a song "Got to Be There," as a solo artist at the age of 13,
but he was still partly in the Jackson 5 group. In the year 1979 he
went on to his solo career and delivered No. 1 hits from the
album “Off the Wall”, and the song “Don’t stop till you get
enough” became Jackson's first solo No. 1 hit single .
Michael Jackson then had allegations of child molestation in his
later years, which made his career slow down a bit, but he died in
the year 2009 before launching a comeback tour from all the
allegations placed upon him.
3. Michael Jackson was known as
the ‘King of Pop’, and he also
worked in Hip Hop, soul, R&B
and Rock music genre during
his career. He has worked with
and collaborated with Janet
Jackson, Akon, 3T, Boys 11
Men, Britney Spears and Paul
McCartney. He also sang in the
1985 USA for Africa song.
He collaborated with Usher,
Chris Tucker and the N’sync in
a live performance.
4. During Michael Jackson’s early
videos and early years as an artist,
he was loved by everyone and by
the people he worked with. There
was a video he did with Paul
McCartney he looked happy and
wants to be everywhere, and that
was when he was younger.
But when he started to grow in age
he became really calm and soft
when he speaks and this was
because of the disease he had
called (Vitiligo) which causes the
skin to whiten. Michael Jackson
went from black to white due to
this disease and due to frustration
of seeing his skin go white, he had
to be using bleaching cream on his
body to become completely white.
This is also the reason why he wore
gloves in his concerts or when he’s
going on a tour.
5. From his early years to his progressing
image he has always played a
character in almost all his music
video, his videos always has a story to
it and I think that’s very creative and
there is always a Narrative story to his
music videos.
Michael Jackson is always shown
performing, because he’s a dancer and
his performers, and concerts are
always great.
Michael Jackson has a specific visual
motif and that is his gloves, he always
wears gloves to his concert, when he’s
on tour and in open places. And he
always wears in on one hand.
6. Michael Jackson had
different hair styles
through his career, he
loves wearing shining
costumes, suits and
long sleeve shirts that
he never buttons, but
ties the bottom end on
his waist. He uses
props in most of his
performances and
videos. And he is also a
dancer, he dances in
every show and videos
he ever made.

These songs was performed when
Michael Jackson was in his family
group called The Jackson Five. He
was in the group with his four
brothers, the group went on for years,
before his solo career. The songs I
want you back and ABC was
dedicated to love and Michael
Jackson was the lead singer of the
group since when he was five years
old. They also sang some other songs
called I’ll be there, Blame it on the
boogie and can you feel it
8. He decided to go into his solo
career in 1972 and brought out
his first album called ‘Of The
Wall’ and the single “Don’t stop
till you get enough”.
This song is a figure of the
charge of love and the feeling a
feeling that is so strong that
you shouldn’t stop till you get
enough. Michael made this
video when he left his group to
become a solo artist and this
song sold up to 20 million
copies world wide.
9. After Michael Jackson made his first
single, he did another hit song called
Thriller in the year 1983, which made 8
Grammy award and became the best
selling record of all time. And one of
the most expensive video made, which
cost half a million dollar. And at that
time that was a lot of money.
The video contains monsters like
werewolf's and zombies. Michael
Jackson was the werewolf in the
beginning of the video which later
came out as a movie in the actual
video. Then later through the video
graves started opening and some
group of zombies came out from the
grave. When Michael Jackson was on
the way home after watching the
movie with his girlfriend in the video.
And suddenly they became
surrounded by zombies and Michael
Jackson became one of the zombie
and started dancing and chasing after
the girl.
10. After Michael Jackson made the hit
on thriller, he made another video
called Billie Jean in that same year
(1983) and that’s when he
continued more in his music career
and made more videos, more hit
songs and continued growing as
the Pop King.
This song demonstrates the life of
Michael Jackson as a spirit in the
form of a tiger trying to get to a sick
girl called Billie jean. But an
inspector kept on following him
and trying to take pictures of him,
and the inspector was caught by
the police and got arrested, when
he went to the house of the sick girl
and standing by the window,
watching Michael Jackson standing
where she was laying down.
11. This video was the second to last
music video Michael Jackson did
before he died. He made this music
video with Chris Tucker.
The video is about a girl that
Michael Jackson and Chris Tucker
saw on the road and they followed
her to a bar where they saw her with
another man, who was a bad man.
But Michael Jackson went ahead and
took the girl from him and the
dancing and fighting began and
after at the fight Michael Jackson got
the girl to himself and his friend
Chris helped them escape.
12. This video was the last
video Michael Jackson did
before he went on break to
clear his name of all the
allegations put on him,
and before he died.
The video is about a girl
called Annie that someone
came into her apartment
and left bloodstains on her
carpet. And someone
where asking her if she was
ok, but she wasn’t
answering and they kept
on asking her to get an
answer.
