King of pop

Now I would like to write about Michael Jackson.

-- Michael Jackson’s real name is Michael Joseph Jackson. He was born in Gary, Indiana on 29th august 1958 and he was 7th child of 9 children between his father Joseph Walter and mother Catharine Esther. His father was guitar player and he grew up with music. When he was 5 years old, he became lead vocal in Jackson 5. Michael began his musical career at the age of 5 as the lead singer of the Jackson 5 who formed in 1964. In these early years the Jackson 5, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and lead singer Michael played local clubs and bars in Gary Indiana and moving further a field as there talents grew and they could compete in bigger competitions. From these early days Michael would be at the same clubs as big talented stars of there days, such as Jackie Wilson and would be learning from them even back then. In 1968 the Bobby Taylor and The Vancouver discovered the Jackson five and from there they got an audition for Berry Gordy of Motown Records. The Jackson 5 signed for Motown and moved to California. Their first 4 singles, "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There" all made US No1 hits. The Jackson 5 recorded 14 albums and Michael recorded 4 solo albums with Motown.

-- In 1969, when he released his first album, four songs of the first album became top No.1 in the world. Also when he was 14 years old, he released album called ‘Ben’ that became top No.1 in the world. In 1982, he released called ‘Thriller’. Thriller sold until now over 60million in the world. So that became best of best album in his album. In this album ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Beat It’, ‘Wanna Be Startin Somethin’ and ‘Thriller’ was on top 10 and Michael Jackson received a prize by this album. After that he released called ‘Dangerous (1991)’, ‘History (1995)’ and ‘Invincible (2001)’. But from 1990, he got a concentration from his private life than his album.

He was accused of molesting 13-year-old boy Jordan Chandler who'd become a frequent guest at Neverland. Jackson settled out of court for an estimated £13m and his subsequent marriage to Lisa Marie Presley was seen as a cynical ploy to rehabilitate his image. The marriage broke up 19 months later. And then, In between legs of the tour on November 14th 1996, Michael married for his second time to Debbie Rowe who was a nurse that Michael had met in the treatment of his skin pigment disorder. Together they had their first child Prince Michael Joseph Jackson jr born on February 13 1997 and a daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson born on April 3rd 1998. In 1997 Michael released the remix album 'Blood on the Dance Floor' which also contained 5 new song linked with a 38min film "Ghosts". This film Michael played 5 roles using the latest special effects and make-up artistry, combined with his dance and music.

And he is a genius for dancing. His dancing is art. When I saw his performance, I was struck with wonder by his dancing. For example The Moonwalk was a factor in what set Michael apart and clearly in a league of his own in the realm of superstardom. Michael did not invent the move, but perfected it and made it his own. First shown to the world at the Motown 25th Anniversary in a performance of "Billie Jean". Although to the viewing world the performance fantastic, Michael himself was not happy with it, being the perfectionist he is. Nevertheless the performance at Motown 25, especially the performance of "Billie Jean" which featured the Moonwalk, will always be remembered as a magic moment in the history of music entertainment. --

In September, 2001 Michael celebrated his 30th anniversary as a solo artist with two concerts to be held in New York, USA. Many artists such as Whitney Houston, Usher, Destinies Child, Shaggy and many more performed there own and Michael Jackson’s past songs. Michael then reunited with all of his brothers performed there biggest hits. Michael then went onto perform solo some of his biggest hits. In October 2001 Michael released the album 'Invincible' so far releasing only 2 singles including the big hit "You Rock My World". Since the release of this first single the album has been surrounded by rumors of a rift with Sony Music and a clear lack of promotion of the album.
