Michael Jackson Biography
Michael Joesph Jackson was born on Friday August 29,2009 and was the 8th of actually 10 children. Michael's brother Marlon had a twin brother named Brandon, who died shortly after birth making Michael the 7th of 9 children. MIchael Jackson's parents Katherine Scruse and Joesph Jackson meet in late 1930's and were soon married in 1941. Coming afterwards, was their wonderful daughter, Maureen, who was nicknamed Reebie their first born. Then came the rest Jackie Jackson, Sigmund Jackson(nicknamed Tito), Jermaine Jackson, Latoya Jackson, Marlon and/or Brandon, Michael Jackson, Randy Jackson and then Janet Jackson. Katherine Scruse or Katherine Jackson was born and raised in Alabama, but when she met Jospeh or Joe they married and moved to Gary, Indiana in a small house on the street of Jackson St.The house was very small with only 2 bedrooms fitting 11 people.
The Jackson family were not the richest out the bunch, but they did manage to get by with Katherine working at Sears and Joe working at a steel mill. Michael Jackson went to public schools for the short time that he had to be a kid. His father was a gutair player with a group that Joe's brother was ain and another group of guys. They made up the Falcons. Joe later quit his dream as being a guitarist and put his guitar in the closet. Sometimes, Jackie and TiTo would sneak and get the guitar out of the closet and play it and put it back before Joesph got home. Joesph, who had his kids call him by his first name instead of dad, had STRICTLY informed them not to touch it. But one day while playing with the guitar the string broke. They put the guitar back in the closet, it was no use. Joe noticed and demanded who did it. Now Michael described is father in a 1993 interview with Oprah that his father was quite abusive and violent with them. Michael didn't give any times where Joe was abusive, but he said that he didn't know him like he would have like to. Going back to Tito's problem Joe did whip him but then asked Tito to play. It was right there and then that Joe decieded his children had talent. He then got his oldest children Jackie,Tito and Jermaine and started working with them. A 4 year old Michael had asked his father could he join to, but his father's response was that he was to young.4 year old Michael later entered himself in his school talent competition. MIchael did a extravagant job at singing the song climb ev'ry moutain. It was then that he got his first standing obvation. He then became the lead singer.The group was origanlly named the Jackson 4 and then when Michael joined it became the Jackson 5.
The Jackson 5 worked day in and day out. Their schedule was wake-up, go to school, come home and rehearse while the other kids were out playing, maybe do homework and go to sleep. Then they would do it all over again.
The one that had gotten the most whippings from Joe was proably Marlon. Marlon was the one who worked the hardest and had to do extra the singing and dancing. He had such a hard time doing some of the routines, Joe actually thought about kicking Marlon out of the group.More equipmetn was bought until there was none left to be bought.The Jackson 5 performed at all sorts of places Strip clubs, late- night clubs, and all sorts of place. Eventually they enter a contest to perform at New York's Apollo Theater. Michael was estactic. He had been a fan of influences like James Brown and his leather shoes, Jackie Wilson and much more.At this time the Jackson 5 had also requested a Motown Audition.On their way to the Apollo theater, Motown called for a audtion so they turned around heading toward Detroit, Michigan were teh Motown label was. At first Berry Gordy, the orignal motown founder, had decieded that they were too young and that he didn't want to deal with another child act after his personal assiastant, Suzzane de Passe, had convinced him to give them a chance. Their audtion was awesome. Berry Gordy then signed them after getting talked into the idea of having another child act after 11 year old, Stevie Wonder. They were now signed and hopefully signed for a longer time then when they were signed with Steeltown Recorda record company that they signed with and released an unsuccessful album, Big Boy.
The Jackson 5 came to part when the boys were doing a gig at a day care and one of the women there said what's your name. the boys had no name.She said well since there's five of you and your last name is Jackson,how about the Jackson 5? Then it just stuck.They used that name as the name of the group. Until the despute of the Jacksons.

The Motown Cooperation decieded to do solo albums with the Jackson 5's to most popular artist Jermaine and Michael Jackson. Jermaine did his first solo album to in 1972 after Michael.

The name was Ben and the single that was released from Ben was Ben released July 12,1972.
There was also a movie made for Ben that won Michael his first Golden Globe for Best song in a move "Ben". He also won another one later in life for the 1993 movie Free Willy that Michael' song Will you be there was played. By about the time Michael was 14, that's when they had gotten way to much money to be living in the little house on Jackson st. So they packed up and moved to California where Motown was now Motown was now transferring to. MIchael and his brothers would move back and forth from Diana Ross's and Berry Gordy's house when they were waiting for their parents to finish moving everthing from Gary to Los Angles. Michael's love of art came from his time at Diana Ross's house. His brothers may go out and visit the city, but Michael would stay and get to enjoy his inspiration. Michael's favorite artist is Michaelanglo. He also passed down his love of art down to his daughter, Paris. When she was old enough,she said in a interview to Oprah in 2010 that she and her dad would go and spend evenings together just talking about art. Also in the earlier years, right when they got signed with Motown, Berry Gordy sent them to California and they performed to a group of Motown artist. It's also where Michael met his idol and celebrity crush Diana Ross who was in the audience.I am sure they performed a majority of the major Motown songs. I am sure they did excellent. Right after that performance Diana Ross made a new album called Diana Ross presents the Jackson 5. which was used to help promote the Jackson 5 and on that album was the main hits I want you back, ABC, stop the love you save, and I'll be there along wiht others such as Sugar Daddy, mama's pearl and Lookin through the windows. By this time both star performers ,Michael and Jermaine were put to the test with solo album. Michael's song,Rockin Robin, eventually became a popular handgame and it was #1 on the charts. Mama's pearl, made right before Michael's first solo album was the Jackson 5's first song NOT to reach the #1 chart. Some people believe that were Jermaine with his first solo single,Daddy's Home, was jealous of Michael because that his didn't make #1 but Michael's did. That was so far from true. Michael and Jermaine had a strong brotherly relationship. That is why in Michael's book he explains that he felt like all his brothers were leaving him becuase when Rebbie married her husband and had her first child,Stacey.Then came Jermaine, then Tito then Jackie one by one getting married. Michael was afraid that he was going to get left behind especially when he got the news that his brother was getting marrided. Joesph had banned girlfriends and girls from the group because of a fear that they would make the boys lose fans or break the group up. Even though there was one day where he caught Tito kissing his so to be wife,Dee Dee, and that's when Joe really gave the can of whop ass to Tito.Michael didn't get that intrested in girls(discluding Diana Ross) until he was much older. He said when he was younger that he would treat a lady as a princess or queen and be a gentlemen.
The boys had started releasing other songs such as Lookin Through the Windows and doing a christmas album with their famous song"I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus". They were getting more and more popular even as Michael got about 11 or 12 they got popular enough were they had there own lunchboxes and things of that nature. They got their own cartoon named the J5 cartoon which came on every Saturday morning. It came on once a week with no repeats so if you missed an episode,you missed it.There was no internet to go wacth it again. J5 cartoon was an animated cartoon that would help the Jackson 5 get even more popular. Going into what they were like in real life.Showing that Michael and Marlon were the pranksters and Tito was always fixing things. Even in one episode showing an animal of Michael's many of animals but one he found name Rosie"the crusher".Rosie was a snake and spent her Jackson 5 days around this time.Another animal of Michael's that were on the show in animation were his two pet mice Ray and Charles. The show was around the same time Michael released his first solo album.
There were 23 episodes until the show came to an end.It was premired in the countries of United Kingdom and the United States. The show lasted from September 11,1971 to October 14,1972. The show played there songs such as I want you back,Love you save, ABC,I'll be there and Never Can Say Goodbye.Their first 5 singles with Motown. The boys did not play the voices of their characters,due to scheduling and doing apperances and concert they did not contribute. Only their music was played. The people that played each character were:
Donald Fullilove played Michael Jackson
Edmund Slyvers played Marlon Jackson
Joel Cooper played Jermaine Jackson
Mike Martinez played Tito Jackson
Craig Grandy played Jackie Jackson.
Diana Ross was on the pilot episode. Diana played herself. Some of the Jackson 5 producers played additional characters.
Around Michael's teen years, he was not satifised with the way his appearance was. He felt he was ugly and that his pimples were so bad and that caused him to cut down a little on some of the food that he was eating. Michael was never fat or obese nor was he ugly. He said that his father would sometimes tease him about his appearance not caring about how sensitive he was about it. He would call him mean nicknames like "big nose" or " ugly". It is sad to think that of what he went through that traumatizing stage in his life.
Now I wil say this once and only once, Michael said in the 90 min Oprah interview in 1993 that he had only had 2 surgies up to that point and that all the rumors in the press had been lies. He had gotten plastic surgies to help him sing higher notes or when his hair got burned, I don't know. Like the world should have done was left it alone. If he wanted to get a surgey that was his and the doctor's business not anybody elses. In the 2010 interview that Oprah did with Katherine Jackson that was also dedicated to Michael, Katherine said that he had way more than two surgeries. He was just embarrassed about it's actual toll. She said that she would tell him to stop that you are going to get addicted and she would tell the doctor to make it look like your doing something but you really are not. That's how much she didn't want Michael to become addicted or affected later in life with these surgeies. I don't know who to believe, but I'm sure whatever Michael did was his business and non of anybody elses. That's sad how people hurt other people's lives for money. The world shouldn't be like that. Even something that happened so many years ago can still make a difference in someone else's life years and ages later.

As Michael got older at the time Michael was 17, he had been homeschooled by teacher Rose Fine all through his childhood as a celebrity. Michael did often swicth schools as the time went by but would end up leaving becasue of his fame. When he was 17,get and do more new things. The choregrapgher is old and the songs were old, they boys needed new material because they were in danger of becoming an oldies act. So the boys felt that they were old enough to write their own songs and be responsible of themselves now that even the youngest was 17. Motown wouldn't let them do their own songs. So they packed up after over 9 years and left getting adopted by the new record label Epic. Now there was a contract that needed to get signed by all the brothers. Jermaine Jackson had by now married Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel Gordy. He felt that he would be doing his father in law wrong by leaving now so Jermaine didn't sign the contract. He stayed with Motown leaving Randy Jackson who played the bongos just like Michael did before he became the lead singer and Marlon before he joined the group. Randy now took Jermaine's spot until a few years later when Jermaine left Motown after a divorce between him and Hazel. When the Jackson 5 left Motown, they had to give up the name that the Motown label gve the group so they swicthed to the Jacksons now Michael was 18 and they wer beginging a new road.
Michael and his brothers had a busy 70's year releasing albums ABC(1970), Third Album(1970),Jackson 5 Christmas Album(1970),Maybe Tommorow(1971),Lookin through the windows(1972),skywriter(1973),G.I.T a.k.aget it together(1973),Dancing Machine(1974), and Moving Violation(1975). Those were the albums released by the Jackson 5 in the Motown Label. Now as you know when they swicthed labels they swicth names to The Jacksons and "The Jacksons" had started releasing albums here. The Jacksons was the name of the first album they released in 1975 at Epic Records, their new recorded label. Then came Goin Places released in 1977,Destiny released in 1978. Where the albums released in 1970's.
Dancing Machine got special attention because in the song and performances of it, there were really dancey parts. The first time the world saw the Jacksons perform Dancing Machine and him doing this poping with his body that was called the Robot. The dance became very popular and it was used as a special way to express your dance moves even in the late 2000s'.At the end 70's, Michael had managed to hit another mildstone in the his celeberity life with acting. His first acting gig was The Wiz.

Michael and his brothers went on their first tour in quite a few years in the late 70s' and early 80s'. Doing a tour for the Destiny album in the 80s', going to cities across the US. Also touring for 1980s' Triumph where Michael wrote a small poem called Peacock to express his graitude for the people that have helped him get where he is. Michael often said in interviews that those were great times when he was touring with his brothers throughout his life. They would play pranks on each other and play pranks on others such as Bill Bray and their longtime manager until their departure from Motown,Suzzanze de Passe.They did do quite a few things, but that success was all about to change in the year of 1982.Michael had his dreams completely fufilled.
Michael said that when he was little that one of his biggest dreams was to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for the greatest selling album of all time.In 1982, that is EXACTLY what he did. The album Thriller was released on Novemeber 30,1982. The singles released were Girl is mine co-written and featuring Paul McCartney relased on October 18,1982. Then came Michael's singnature song Billie Jean released on January 3,1983.Beat it released Feburay 14,1983. Then Wanna be Startin Somethin released on May 8,1983.Human Nature released on July 3,1983.Pretty Young Thing released on September 19,1983. And Thriller released on Janurary 23,1984.The album was produced by Quincy Jones. Thriller was almost named Starlight named after a song that didn't make it to the album. Michael ALMOST didn't release the album because the first recording that they did for the Thriller album when the final copy that was supposed to be able the album that was going into stores when the album was going to release. Michael had heard the final copy and ran out in tears because it sounded so horrible. At first, Michael said maybe we shouldn't release another album so close to Off the Wall when he didn't like the copy of Thriller. But the people working on Thriller and Quincy Jones covinced Michael that maybe we should take a two week break and come back and try some new beats and rearrange the picthes and tones. So when they came back and fixed some things Michael thought it sounded fantastic. They released it and not knowing that it would soon and still is after the 2000s' is the #1 best selling album of all time. Even to that point they had been releasing singles like crazy.On the special edition of Thriller includes two unreleased songs"Carousel and Someone in the Dark" it also includes the album's making process by Quincy Jones and how the rap for Thriller was written by Rod Temperton.
The music videos for Thriller include an era where two songs that Michael recorded with Paul McCartney."Girl is Mine" and "Say Say Say" were the two singles. Michael and the other producers for Thriller decieded that Girl is Mine was the better choice. Even though Say Say Say never ,made it to the album it still was a popular song. So popular they made a music video for it. Other videos for Thriller include the 14 min Thriller music video,which lots say is the best music video ever, Beat it and Billie Jean. For Thriller good friend John Landis,who directed American Werewolf and Kentucky Fried Movie,caught Michael's eye. Michael was a VERY big horror fan so John Landis fit the bill. Together they came up with the scene that had taken the world by storm and learining to do the famous Zombie Dance that Michael does in the video. Thriller took a lot of time and energy to put into because once again Michael was getting makeup on that took 8-10 hours. After doing it in the Wiz it became very fun and intresting to do. Also for the Thriller music video there was a video that was almost like a video diary because we got to see the behind the scenes of the Thriller music video. In this documentary, MJ fans saw the process of the make-up that made Michael into a werewolf and a zombie, the dance rehersals and the comedy that went on behind the cameras. Thriller was directed by John Landis and co-directed by Michael Jackson.
Another music video,Billie Jean, was the song that people say is Michael's theme song because of the way he dances to it. He put allhis signature moves in this music video or anytime he was performing Billie Jean. Many believe that Michael wrote Billie Jean because of the women that would flood his parents house claiming that their baby had a father. That father supposedly was Michael Jackson. If you listen to the lyrics:"Billie Jean is not my lover/She just a girl/Claims that I am the one/ But the kid is not my son.",you can understand the awarkwardness that Michael went through and that is why he wrote the song. Michael said in a 2005 interview with Martin Bashir,that he has this tree that he calls his Giving Tree. This tree is used because Michael believes it is lucky. It helped write all sorts of popular songs thorughout his Carrer. Michael had two things that he loved doing. If he wasn't doing these two things he was working. Playing water fights/games or climbing trees. The Giving was a place for him to relax his mind at Neverland. Michael actually didn't write Billie Jean in this tree because he hadn't moved to Neverland yet, so the tree had yet tl be discovered. Michael was in his car on his way home from a photo shoot and this beat came into his head.As always when a beat comes into his head that is oringal, he chooses to record himself singing that particular beat. Then a few days later the chorus and the veruses and brigdes started pouring into his brain. He had no idea it would be this big. When he was asked,How do you come up with this stuff?" He said "From above." Billie Jean was directed by Steve Barron.
One of Michael's very rare rock-like songs. In the video for this song, Michael is dancing his way to a bunch of gang members who were about to go at it. The gang members were real gang members that were found off the streets.Michael paid for Beat it and Thriller out of his pocket as he said in his 1988 Moonwalker book. Beat it, Billie Jean and Thriller are known as Michael's start to even busier 80s' year.The video was sort of a way to get rit of street vilence through,as always,music and dancing.Beat it was directed by Bob Giraldi. Beat it was the name of the song.
Billie Jean, obviously Michael's most popular song, was written based on all the women that would appear at Hayvenhurst and claim that their child was Michael's son or daughter. One lady actually had three innocent looking children and appeared at the gates with their heads shaved off and said they had lice and needed Michael's help. That is where the idea forBillie Jean came up.
After the Thriller era Michael was in for a big moment in his life that almost didn't happen. Motown 25: yesterday, Today and Forever. Motown 25 was remembering the marvelous 25 years that many artist including Michael had spent together. Michael hadn't performed with his brothers since the lateoddest 70s' and when asked to do a song with his brothers to celebrate the celebration, Michael said he would just sit in the audience. Berry eventually got Michael to perform when he offered him a deal. Michael could sing the only non-Motown song of his choice and sing the whole song instead of being like everyone else and singing only a half of a song. He decieded to the song Billie Jean that had just came out on the late Thriller album.The other part of the deal was that Michael do the tribute with his brothers and sign his own song. He wanted it to go as perfect as possible for the fans. Michael also wanted to do something unique about his style. It was Jackie's idea to add the one glove to his jacket that was his mother's jacket. Michael himself came up with the pants being pulled up higher so you could see the sparkling socks he had on. The at was actually added to Michael's routine right before he took stage. Katherine said in a 2010 interview with Oprah Winfrey that Michael practiced day in and day out to prepare for his big performance.
The Moonwalk came from 3 kids in the ghetto that taught Michael how to do it. It was eventually added to Michael's unexpected performance. He had practiced it to get it right because Michael was a perfectionist big time. He said in his 1993 interview with Oprah that he was never satisfiyed as a kid. When he was younger he would eat a lot of fried foods and that it did not do him good when he got in his teenaged days. Michael thought that he was ugly. This was
around the time that his lifetime shyness would start and getting easily embarrassed at some of the most oddest times. He did have really bad acne, but Michael wasn't ugly. He thought that his fans thought heh was ugly because of them expecting this short and adorable litttle kid and that his teenaged apperance drove them away. That was never true and will certainly never be true now. It was an easy way to solve this problem and all he had to do was cut back and eat healthier.
The show went perfectly. Michael had done his songs with his brothers.They sang a medley of their most popular songs. I want you back, Love you save,Never can say goodbye and I'll be there. It was a big night. It was the first time that Jermaine had performed with his brothers since staying with Motown and coming back just a little before this show. Randy ,who took Jermaine's place when Jermaine stayed with Motown,did the performance as well so there were 6 members that night. Michael's performances were really good and he got a standing obvation from the audience. Even with the standing obvation and the over a minute screams, he felt he did horrible. He cried backstage because he thought he did so bad. He got hugs and kisses and says that he did so good. He still belived that he did a bad job because of a spin that he didn't hold as long as he wanted to. He fell and had to cover it with a quick Michael-like pose. He didn't believe that he did excelent until 2 thungs happend. One when he was walking to the car a kid about 12 or 13 years old said that Michael's performance was awesome that he did a tremendous job and should be very proud of himself. Michael smiled at the kid and that is the first reason that Michael believed he did a good job.
The second time was when Michael went to Fred Astire's house the next day and got compliements from his idol like crazy. Fred said that he wacthed the performance so many times last night,the night of the show, and once in the morning. Michael got compliements like"You really put them on their asses last night and you killed the hell out of that performance." Michael then felt,after blushing a bit, that he did an extremely good job. Michael had finnally opened a binding in his carrer. Getting notifyed that Thriller had become the msot popular music video and that he was the greatest entertainer to date. Congrats to you in that part of your life,MJ. You deserved it.

Magazines and reproters and fans went nuts to see Michael have this perfect performance.Michael had offically hit the big point. He was ready to achieve his solo carreer by leaving the group and trusting his instincts that his creative activity was what was best for him. So you could say 1984 was the year that they would really stop touring. Michael had a really big year. I will start with the 1984 Grammy's because between sales for Thriller and the performance of Billie Jean at Motown 25, he was extremly busy. He stopped coming to familly days since that everyone was busy, they rarely had time to see each other. This would become a problem later in Michael 's life. The Grammys' was big because Michael had beat three records in 2 years. Thriller was comepletely declared the best selling album of all time and Thriller was the world's best video(based on opinon).Michael at the Grammys' won 8 awards. All pretaining to Thriller, Michael doing a childrens recording book called E.T Storybook. Michael was the author of this storybook and it's main inspiration was the E.T movie it self. Michael compared himself to E.T. Saying that it was one of his favorite movies. Michael did a spectacular job because the awards won were:For Thriller, Album of the Year;For Beat it, Record of the year;For Thriller(with Quincy Jones), co-producer wtih non-classical;For Billie Jean, Best R&B song;For E.T (extra-terrestrial), best recording for children;For Thriller, Best Pop Vocal Performance;For Billie Jean, Best R&B Vocal Performance;For Beat it, Best rock Vocal Performance. It was therefore that Michael Jackson had gotten the most grammys in won in one grammy show and therefore known that Michael Jackson's Thriller had been declared the best selling album because record sales increased daily. As of the 2009 year, sales are over 300 million.
Michael often said that his childhood was taken away from him. But often his alternative was animals. He loved animals. When his family first moved to Hayvenhurst, Michael had rats sometimes up to thrity rats in his room. He would become more and more lovable to these animals. He soon got rid of the rats and then went to boa constructors and pythons. Boa Constructor,Muscles, was a famous snake. It also insprired a song out of Michael that he gave to Diana Ross. The song was called Muscles too.
Two others were Louie and Lola,Michael's llamas. Louie and Lola were really first seen in a rare at home 1983 interview.
Most likely Michael's most famous pet was Bubbles. Bubbles was a chimpanzee and followed Michael everywhere. Katherine had said to the family,"You can get any animal you want,but you can't and repeat can't have a monkey." Michael had seen a baby chimp and had thought it was the cutest thing and had begged his mother to let him have it. She eventually caved in and Bubbles was now forever a Jackson.
Bubbles was born in a labatory and was placed in a California Santuary. Michael bought Bubbles and taught him everything.Bubbles would eat at the table, he put on his pajamas, had his bed in Michael's room just like a human. Michael even taught him how to Moonwalk.Michael would have Bubbles until about 1995 when his children would be on there way and Michael would have to put him back in a Californian Santuary. Michael would later come and visit Bubbles. They became really close friends. Michael,in the mid 80s', was determined to figure out if there was something he could do to make Bubbles talk. They were really close. Bubbles really became famous later in the 80s'. I'll explain later.

Meanwhile in the 1984-85 years Michael and his brothers made a commercial for the caffeine-populated drink,Pepsi that would have more commercial from Michael with songs such as BAD, I'll be there, give into me,Black or white and billie Jean. The first of two commericals done for Pepsi by the Jacksons were Michael Jackson impersanator performing on the streets and then running into MJ himself with his brothers behind him. They dance to Billie Jean but kind of remade with the Pepsi Generation slogan added into the Grammy-winning song. The second commercial was of Michael dancing down a set of stairs and then performing,once again Billie Jean wtih the Pepsi Generation slogan into it. That commercial went horribly wrong in the rehearsals. There were sparks going off behind Michael. One of the sparks went off too early and touch Michael's hair it eventually spreaded making Michael rolling down the stairs. People rushing down to his side. He was quickly rushed to the hospital with third degree burns. He stayed in the hospital for one month and was then released, but told to kept bandages on his head until his hair would grow back.
Moving away from sadder times, in the 1984 year,after Michael's hair scare, the Jacksons decided to do a final tour that was orignally called the Final Curtain but was changed to the Victory Tour. They performed some of their greatest hits such as Dancing Machine, I want you back, ABC,love you say etc. This tour was fairwell to no more tours and albums the Jacksons were retiring.The concert was performed mostly in the United States and a few in Canada with a grand total of 55 concerts. The Jacksons had a series of magic acts too, which were some of Michael's favorite pass-time activities as a kid and early teenaged years.On the last stop of the tour was Los Angles, the Jackson family all appeared on stage and danced with the boys. This was the last time that Michael and Marlon would perform with the brothers until 2001. It was an excelent way to end two decades of making music with adoring fans to follow along for the world.
Going back between 1983-1986 that Michael had been secretly dealing with a diease called Vitiligo and Lupus. Vitiligo is a diease that destroys the pigmintation of one's orignal skin tone. Lupus is a diease that causes his nose and cheeks to turn an odd color of red. Michael had first discovered that something was wrong when a tiny spot that started to grow on his stomach.Michael's father,Joe, says that this kind of problem came from his side of the family. Jermaine said in his book that he also discovered a tiny white spot on his leg. He had a touch of vitiligo but it eventually went away. Michael's on the other hand spread to his arms and legs.To keep a good-looking figure, his make-up artists used make-up to cover the visible spots on his face and neck. They really went on edge when Michael would perform and the make-up could sweat off. It never did. His skin slowly started to completely cover by about mid 1987 and the make-up was no longer needed. Mean tabloids claimed that Michael had been bleaching his skin and having plastic surgery because of his changing facial features such as his nose. When Michael did have a couple of plastic surgeries, but not to the extent of what they said. He also never bleached his skin. It was the make-up that was being used and then the diease took over. Michael said that he has to use an umbrella on warm sunny Los Angles days because he was sort of allergic to the sun. The sun could cause servere damage to his skin. Tabloids also picked at Michael because of the cloth that he wore around his lower face. Tabloids said because something went wrong in surgery or that his face was falling off. The truth was that his wisdom teeth had just been pulled out and his dentist said to keep germs from entering his mouth so he put the cloth around it to keep anything from happening to his mouth. It was pretty devestating to Michael and if you watch on Youtube the interview he did with Oprah you see how much his feelings were hurt when Oprah asked him about the tabloids and what they say about him. This maybe my opinnion and I'm sure lots of other people's too, but Michael was a person. He had feelings.He had a heart. He had a brain. He is gone and it is a shame some people still doubt some of the bad things he went through in his lifetime.
Another mean rumor is that he slept in an oxygen chamber to slow his ageing process. That was a big fat lie. The infamous picture that you see of Michael in the Oxygen chamber is him at the center where he was treated for his burns and it was changed to the Michael Jackson Burns Center. That's where he was and a curious Michael decieded to get into the chamber to see what it felt like and a picture was taken. It was leaked all over the world with that lie attached to it. Michael was obviously a chlild at heart and what he did was a child-like thing. That's Michael and the press had taken advangtage of that. Later some adults would too.So because of Michael's child personality they called him a name that he hated and it embarrassed him he was hurt by it and it never should have been done,Wacko Jacko was the name and in a interview with Barbara Walters he explained that he was extremely hury by it. You could see tears well up in his eyes as he talked about it. That's how much it hurt. There was also another rumor that Michael had bought the elephant man bones. Michael hadn't bought the bones he was a fan of the movie but he wouldn't buy them. He explained that in a interveiw with Oprah in 1993.

Michael hadn't bought the bones he was a fan of the movie but he wouldn't buy them. He explained that in a interveiw with Oprah in 1993.
. Michael decided to do another solo album,hoping that he would make it even better than Thriller. The name of this new album is called BAD. BAD was released August ,1987 and also by Epic/CBS records.When he released Thriller's singles, there were seven singles. That was a record for the most singles released from ,one album.With BAD he beat that record with NINE singles released. The singles released were I just can't stop loving you, released July 20,1987. BAD came next released on September 7,1987. The way you make me feel released November 9,1987. Man in the mirror released on January 9,1988. Dirty Diana released on April 18,1988.Another part of me released July 11,1988. Smooth Crimnal released on October 24,1988. Leave me alone released on Febuary 13,1989.Then finally Liberian Girl released on July 3,1989. Sales for BAD were going up and BAD didn't reach Thriller's point but it got pretty close. It became known as the second best selling album of all time. Even as of three years after Michael's death,BAD and Thriller are still first and second best selling albums. The BAD special edition included two unreleased songs named"Streetwalker and Fly Away". It also included coverage of Quincy Jones talking about the album's making process and a spanish version of Michael's hit "I just can't stop lovin you ft.Sediah Garret.
As for music videos for BAD, he made so many.He made the 19min bad music video. It was about a guy named Darryl who goes to school in area that is better than were he lives.He comes back from school when his friends start to give him trouble saying that he wasn't bad enough to be friends with them. Michael then breaks into a dancing postion and starts the song BAD with a series of hard-core dancing and singing. It then shows them that they were wrong about Michael. BAD was directed by Martin Scorses and was shot in a subway in New York,New York.The video is made in 1987.
"The way you make me feel." The way you make me feel is about a girl who is being chased by Michael trying to tell her the way she made him feel. Michael before chasing the girl, is getting screamed and yelled and pushed by other gangsters that thought he wasn't good enough to be with a woman like that. The Way You Make Me Feel was directed by Joe Ptyka in Los Angeles,California in the 1987 year.
The next music video is probally the most memerable and inspriational song Michael sang, but he didn't write it.Sediah Garrett wrote the song,who is the girl in the song "I just can't stop lovin you".The name of the song is Man in the Mirror.This song has a video but Michael is not in it. The video shows clips of sad moments were there are people that need help. That we have to be the Man in their mirror and help the needy,including the children, we can make this world a better place. It has been placed in some people's minds as the best song ever written.
The next video is Dirty Diana. Dirty Diana is of Michael getting out of a car and going a performing the song Dirty Diana. Afterwards he returns to the car and sees the apparent Dirty Diana. Durning Michael's first tour in almost a decade he toured for the BAD tour and had a performance in London. Princess Diana was going to be there and the other royals. He met the Princess before his concert and had taken Dirty Diana out for respect. He got the news that it was one of her favorites in particular and he shouldnt take it out of the show. It was now to late to make any changes to the script. That funny moment triggered another decade of fun and laughter and till that horrible 1997 day. Michael had gotten the news that Princess had died through one of his doctors. He said in a 1997 interview with Barbara Walters, that he cried for hours and hours on end. He couldn't believe it. It is like telling someone that your house is on fire and you're 3000 miles away. It is just one of those I can't believe it moments.It was directed by Joe Pytka in 1988.
The next music viedo is Smooth Criminal and Come Together. Since these two were both shot seperatly but contiued a storyline through them.The story comes from the Michael Jackson Moonwalker movie,which I will explain about later. Anyway, Smooth Crimnal is mostly famous for the device ,that has to be put in special shoes,to make your body lean fowards without you falling. It is owned by Michael Jackson and it still is. He sort of wanted something spectacular and big to come out of this music video. Smooth Criminal was insprired by a serial killer that kept Los Angles and San Fransico on edge between 1984-1985. He was called the"Night Stalker" and between that one year he killed 14 people. Listen to the first verse of the song and you will understand the similarity.Smooth Criminal was wrriten by Michael and is directed by Colin Chilvers. Come Together was written by Paul McCaurtney and John Lennon orignally being a Beatles song and was re-made by Michael. If you have ever heard of Michael's 1988 movie called Moonwalker, then you will see that Smooth Criminal and Come Together were put into the movie. It starts of with MIchael and three kids named Zeke,Katie and Sean. These three kids and Michael are playing in a field when the ball goes into a forest and then Michael and Katie go to look for it. They don't find it but on their way they see a secret door that leads down some stairs. They eventually see an evil guy planning to give drugs to all the children in the world. Michael is obviously digusted. Katie sees a spider and screams making the evil guy see Michael and Katie. They run away.
The next scene is of Katie,Sean and Zeke on top of a building that is right across from Michael's apartment when the bad guy and his soilders start shooting at the door that Michael walks out of. He ducks and figures out a way to run away. They chase Michael all through the city in hopes to kill him. Katie gets scared and gets down from the building to find him as well as hiding from any soilders that runs by.Michael gets in a corner being as quiet as possible and then the evil guy hears something and goes into the corner. Michael is trapped. He then turns into a car that is now known as the Moonwalker car. And at top speed is on his way to a club were he will go to perform Smooth Criminal. It is the same club that you see in the music video for Smooth Criminal. Katie,Sean and Zeke follow him to the club and wait outside. These are the kids that you see in the video. Durning Michael's performance Katie is captured and then Michael goes outside with Zeke and Sean and go to find Katie. They are faced with a door. They open it and it's a trap. Michael is captured. He is knocked down and kicked. Katie is seen again and she is about to get injected wtih a needle. Michael turns into this transformer like robot and then a space ship. He uses his powers to blow up the lab and kills the bad guy. Katie,Sean and Zeke and Michael are safe. His spaceship goes out into space. Katie starts crying because she realizes she will never see him again. The kids head back to the city and Michael's normal body returns. He says I have a suprise for you and takes them backstage to his concert where the music video Come together falls in. He goes out and performs come together. Come Together is also directed by Colin Chilvers and another director,Jerry Kramer.The movie is over. Before the segment of the movie, it starts off almost like a timeline of Michael's life. Then still before the movie segement, A Michael inspired music where BAD(short version) is recreated. But little kids are placed into the place of Michael and backup dancers. It is really funny and adorable. After that, Michael's new music video (at the time)Speed Demon is premeried. That music video is directed by Will Vinton.That is the Moonwalker movie.Moonwalker is rated PG.
Moonwalker also had a video game. It was based mainly on the scene for Michael's Smooth Criminal. It wasn't out into the public long, but it was a game based mainly on Michael's Smooth Criminal. It was an aracade like game, but it was out to the public for a few months for lack of popularity. There was speak of a comeback after Michael's 2009 death.
Going all the way back to the music videos for BAD, was probally Michael's most powerful song. "Leave Me Alone" was a song that sort of had two meanings. One of the meanings was that a guy who breaks up with a girl who is still hanging on and the guy is saying"Leave Me Alone". The other meaning related mroe to Michael's life. The second meaning was about Michael having all the e.t like stuff in the music video ,like he does, including the Bubble,Muscles and pictures of Elizabeth Taylor. Michael was saying leave me alone but refering to the tabloids that made up those rumors. Michael had a lot of amusement parks and a lot of child-releated things. That was Michael. This music video was supposed to put a stop to it but it sadly didn't work on the tradegy of 1993.Leave Me Alone was directed byJim Blasfield and Paul Diener.
The final music video from BAD was Liberian Girl. Liberian Girl was a music video that was showing a whole bunch of celeberities that looked like they were on a movie set and were waiting for Michael to show up to get started. Not knowing that they were apart of the music video and Michael was up above recording. He appears at the end and says one thing. "Ok everybody.That's a rap." Liberian Girl was originally directed by Jim Yukich in 1988.
As for music videos for BAD, he made so many.He made the 19min bad music video. It was about a guy named Darryl who goes to school in area that is better than were he lives.He comes back from school when his friends start to give him trouble saying that he wasn't bad enough to be friends with them.

Michael had gotten the news that Princess had died through one of his doctors. He said in a 1997 interview with Barbara Walters, that he cried for hours and hours on end. He couldn't believe it. It is like telling someone that your house is on fire and you're 3000 miles away. It is just one of those I can't believe it moments.It was directed by Joe Pytka in 1988.
The next music viedo is Smooth Criminal and Come Together. Since these two were both shot seperatly but contiued a storyline through them.The story comes from the Michael Jackson Moonwalker movie,which I will explain about later. Anyway, Smooth Crimnal is mostly famous for the device ,that has to be put in special shoes,to make your body lean fowards without you falling. It is owned by Michael Jackson and it still is. He sort of wanted something spectacular and big to come out of this music video. Smooth Criminal was insprired by a serial killer that kept Los Angles and San Fransico on edge between 1984-1985. He was called the"Night Stalker" and between that one year he killed 14 people. Listen to the first verse of the song and you will understand the similarity.Smooth Criminal was wrriten by Michael and is directed by Colin Chilvers. Come Together was written by Paul McCaurtney and John Lennon orignally being a Beatles song and was re-made by Michael. If you have ever heard of Michael's 1988 movie called Moonwalker, then you will see that Smooth Criminal and Come Together were put into the movie. It starts of with MIchael and three kids named Zeke,Katie and Sean. These three kids and Michael are playing in a field when the ball goes into a forest and then Michael and Katie go to look for it. They don't find it but on their way they see a secret door that leads down some stairs. They eventually see an evil guy planning to give drugs to all the children in the world. Michael is obviously digusted. Katie sees a spider and screams making the evil guy see Michael and Katie. They run away.
The next scene is of Katie,Sean and Zeke on top of a building that is right across from Michael's apartment when the bad guy and his soilders start shooting at the door that Michael walks out of. He ducks and figures out a way to run away. They chase Michael all through the city in hopes to kill him. Katie gets scared and gets down from the building to find him as well as hiding from any soilders that runs by.Michael gets in a corner being as quiet as possible and then the evil guy hears something and goes into the corner. Michael is trapped. He then turns into a car that is now known as the Moonwalker car. And at top speed is on his way to a club were he will go to perform Smooth Criminal. It is the same club that you see in the music video for Smooth Criminal. Katie,Sean and Zeke follow him to the club and wait outside. These are the kids that you see in the video. Durning Michael's performance Katie is captured and then Michael goes outside with Zeke and Sean and go to find Katie. They are faced with a door. They open it and it's a trap. Michael is captured. He is knocked down and kicked. Katie is seen again and she is about to get injected wtih a needle. Michael turns into this transformer like robot and then a space ship. He uses his powers to blow up the lab and kills the bad guy. Katie,Sean and Zeke and Michael are safe. His spaceship goes out into space. Katie starts crying because she realizes she will never see him again. The kids head back to the city and Michael's normal body returns. He says I have a suprise for you and takes them backstage to his concert where the music video Come together falls in. He goes out and performs come together. Come Together is also directed by Colin Chilvers and another director,Jerry Kramer.The movie is over. Before the segment of the movie, it starts off almost like a timeline of Michael's life. Then still before the movie segement, A Michael inspired music where BAD(short version) is recreated. But little kids are placed into the place of Michael and backup dancers. It is really funny and adorable. After that, Michael's new music video (at the time)Speed Demon is premeried. That music video is directed by Will Vinton.That is the Moonwalker movie.Moonwalker is rated PG.
Moonwalker also had a video game. It was based mainly on the scene for Michael's Smooth Criminal. It wasn't out into the public long, but it was a game based mainly on Michael's Smooth Criminal. It was an aracade like game, but it was out to the public for a few months for lack of popularity. There was speak of a comeback after Michael's 2009 death.
Going all the way back to the music videos for BAD, was probally Michael's most powerful song. "Leave Me Alone" was a song that sort of had two meanings. One of the meanings was that a guy who breaks up with a girl who is still hanging on and the guy is saying"Leave Me Alone". The other meaning related mroe to Michael's life. The second meaning was about Michael having all the e.t like stuff in the music video ,like he does, including the Bubble,Muscles and pictures of Elizabeth Taylor. Michael was saying leave me alone but refering to the tabloids that made up those rumors. Michael had a lot of amusement parks and a lot of child-releated things. That was Michael. This music video was supposed to put a stop to it but it sadly didn't work on the tradegy of 1993.Leave Me Alone was directed byJim Blasfield and Paul Diener.
The final music video from BAD was Liberian Girl. Liberian Girl was a music video that was showing a whole bunch of celeberities that looked like they were on a movie set and were waiting for Michael to show up to get started. Not knowing that they were apart of the music video and Michael was up above recording. He appears at the end and says one thing. "Ok everybody.That's a rap." Liberian Girl was originally directed by Jim Yukich in 1988.
Michael also had started writing a book as of 1984 and it was all set to be published, but it didn't get out. When the publishers were going to publish it, he said that he would be a bit embarrassed to have such information about him released to the world. So it was put on hold. Until 1986. Michael thought about and decieded that he should let the world see a piece of him that they have never seen before.Michael then changed a few things and added a few things and released the book in 1988 right in the middle of the release of his successing album,BAD.Michael's book Moonwalk, was also #1 in New York Times.
Michael decided he would go on his first tour as a solo artist. So in about mid 1987-1989 he did a worldwide tour for his newly released album BAD. The BAD tour played sold out staduims from the US to Moscow to Japan.The tour had 123 concerts,and went to 15 conutries in four contients. 4.4 millions fans were performed to in the tour. BAD tour is the biggest selling tour and grossing the biggest audience in the history of show business. Michael was once again on top having a really busy end of the 80s' year. Around this time, Thriller had gone gold then platnum. Michael was the greatest enterrtainer. The Beatles had never come to anything like this. He broke record sales past Elvis's then broke record sales past the Beatles. Michael surely was on top. He got Grammy awards like crazy.
In the BAD tour Michael would perform some of his hits like "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin , Human Nature,I Just Can't Stop Lovin You" and much much more.Bubbles was a constant compainon for Michael durning the BAD tour. He made the infamous apperance at a press confrence in Japan where Michael had a cup of tea in his hands and Bubbles would get a chance to take a sip every once in a while. It was actually pretty cute, but of course the press didn't like it. It was cute.Bubbles would make TV apperances with traveling trainor,Bob Dunn, and do some of the cutest things to entertain. I wonder where he got that from...........
Michael's 54 shows in the USA, 23 in Japan,5 in Austrialla and 41 in Europe where hard work and having to do music videos in all of that busy time.The first place Michael played on his BAD tour was Japan and he was so good, he earned the nickname Typhoon Michael.Michael had now added one more thing to his schedule. He did another movie. Walt Disney himself asked Michael to do another movie that they could put in one of their theathers and add special effects to it and make it a ride. Michael aggreed and wrote his own little skit called Captain EO.Captain EO is about a pasted failure superhero at accomplishing missons with his animated and animal like crew. Michael plays the superhero that is on his way to get a jewel and his successful at getting the jewel. He is then told by his captain to go over to the evil queen and grant her the gift of beauty.When Captain EO(Michael) is on his way to the queen he gets captured and treated like a crimnal. He then pleads he wants to give her a gift. He then uses his magical powers to destroy her henchmen and turn them into backup dancers for him where they perform Michael's We are here to change the world. He then turns the evil queen into a good queen and sings Another Part of me, a song from his bad album. The movie is over. This movie actually kicked off the busy end of the 80s' year in 1986. The film was also in 3D. The movie was also directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Around this time Michael decieded to do another Pepsi Commercial. This time alone. He performed BAD and that was recreated into a jingle for Pepsi Generation. The rare version is a three minute commercial that was rarely shown and the shorter version was what was saw on most TV screens.
By about this time,Michael's sister,Janet, was coming to rise with her Rythmn Nation album. After he acting gigs with Good Times,she became litttle miss diva.As her brother was the King of Pop. So it was declared that the Jacksons were the world's best how business family. Because around the same time of Michael's Thriller album, Jermaine released a single Dynaimite and Let's get serious his two most popular songs. Reebie also did a song that was written by Michael.The name of the song was called Cenepiede it didn't get very popular. All of the Jacksons did something after the Jacksons started to go seperate ways as far as solo recording and other projects.

All of the Jacksons did something after the Jacksons started to go seperate ways as far as solo recording and other projects.
The last thing that Michael did that went public in the 80s' was make another album with his brothers. It would be the last and it was called 2300 Jackson ST. This album was with all the siblings in the Jackson Family except LaToya, it is known that about this time she was extranged from her family. Jackie,Jermaine Marlon,Randy and Tito sang and played the songs while the song 2300 Jackson ST itself had Michael,Janet,Reebie and the Jackson kids appear. Michael did npot perform on the other songs,just that one. The singles released from this album were Nothin(that compares 2 u) was the first to release on Januray 27,1989. The second out of three singles was 2300 Jackson St the song released on March 16,1989. The last single was Art of Maddness released June 25,1989. This is probally the Jacksons least popular album. It most likely had the lowest rating for the Jacksons with a whopping 2 1/2.
Around this time,Michael was leaning on thirty and decieded that he was responsible that is was time to move out and start a brand new lifestyle. He looked and finnally settled on a three thousand acre ranch in Santa Babara,California.He wanted to do something different with this place. In 1990,newby actor Maculay Culkin had starred in his own movie called Home Alone.Michael mew this kid who had such good acting skills he met this kid. They became very good friends and when Culkin would have children of his own,Michael became their godfather. Michael would have Culkin and his brother,who was also a actor,come over and have two of Michael's favorite things:Water Ballon Fights or Hide and Seek. Culkin helped Michael build the design the theather and amusement park for Michael's house. Michael wanted to make his house into a almost Peter Pan like style so he named it Neverland.
In 1989,Michael wanted to be discharged from being a Jehovah Wittness. He realized some of the things he wanted to do as an artist would go against the guidelines for Jehovah Wittnesses.So he wrote a letter to the Kingdom Hall and requested discharge from being a wittness. His mother told him to think about his decision instead of doing something so quickly. He thought about it and decieded to be discharge from being a wittness. Jehovah Wittnesses never talk about the discharge of a former wittness so the topic was never brought up again.
The saddess thing that happened to Michael was in 1990 when Babyface and L.A Reid were working with Jermaine after the release of 2300 Jackson st. They wrote something that when said you knew was a straight dig at Michael. It went like this: Reconstructed/ been abducted/Don't know who you are/Once you were made/changed your shade/was your color wrong?/ It an't about your world /It ain't about the things you do/If you don't care/You keep thinking about you/You been taken all my pie/You been taken it for a long time. Jermaine was mad at Michael because he had called him to see if you wanted to do a movie together never got a response. So when he got to the studio that song was read by Jermaine. He knew it was clearly at Michael. Jermaine had sang it but it was done. He wasn't going to release it. But it got leaked. When Michael had heard it he was crushed. Jermaine wasn't just mad about the movie being put aside and possibly future collabartion,he was made because since majority of the family is Jehovah, they don't celebrate Christmas and birthdays. They never really have a holiday that celebrates being a family. So they have these Family Days where they are at each others houses and just cacth up. Since they are the busiest family in the industry. Michael had shown up to a family day in 8 years. Everytime there was one he was busy doing a music video,movie or recording songs/albums. Jermaine felt like he was losing his brother to the entertainment bussiness. When that was leaked it hurt Michael and Jermaine. Even though Jermaine didn't write it,he sang it. The name of the song is "The Word Badd".The Word Badd was suppossed to get recreated but,the bootlegged version was the version that got released. It was released right before Michael's single "Black or White" was expected to hit. Jermaine got a call from Berry Gordy. He asked why did you sing it and did you write it. Berry Gordy said you have to take full responsiblity for what has been done. Jermaine went on Larry King and tried to explain. It was no use. He had to talk to Michael. Jermaine was at Hayvenhurst when he heard Michael's voice. He walked in and saw Michael sitting on the couch looking down next to their mother. It was their mother who got things going. Then Jermaine went on about how it's been eight years since he really spent proper time with the family. Then Michael said"That is hurtful Jermaine.I didn't expect that from you....not from you Jermaine."
"I did't write it." said Jermaine.
"You sang it."
"I was upset when I sang it. Those lyrics don'y reflect how I feel about you and you know it."
"You put your voice into it."said Michael.
"I sorry I hurt you but you have ignored the family like the King Tut movie request you ignored.
"I don't know anything about a King Tut movie." said Michael.
" Doesn't that tell you something?The people around you aren't passing messages that we send to you! That still doesn't excuse you from all the family days and quality time you haven't spent with the family in eight years.said Jermaine.
Michael tried reasoning saying that he was busy shooting videos and recording songs.
" BUT MICHAEL,WERE YOUR FAMILY! YOU HAVE GOT TO MAKE TIME FOR YOUR FAMILY!"scream Jermaine.
Jermiane then slammed his fist on the table making Michael jump. "I sorry I made you jump,i didn't mean to scare you."said Jermaine.Michael laughed.
"Your so uptight!Look at your face!"said Michael.
Jermaine remebered the times that him and Michael would laugh at the most serious of situations. Michael promised that he would look into the King Tut movie. He also promised to show up to more Family Days. From that point on Michael was seen more and more by the family instead of long periods of time. The Word Badd eventually died down and was never spoken of again.

The Word Badd eventually died down and was never spoken of again.
In the early 1990's Michael was in the hospital for severe headaches and a throbbing pain that was most likely related to the burns that he suffered before the Victory. Michael was treated with the pain with demerol and was out of the hospital in no time.Ready to start something big again.
Believe it or not(your choice),Michael and Madonna dated for a little bit.Michael met Madonna durning the Victory Tour and ended falling for Randy. Well just say it didn't work out. Her and Michael were seen in a car on there way to what seemed to be a date. There were only one or possibly two dates. Until they realized they were completely diffrent people. Michael was soft and gentle.Madonna was loud and hard core. She had a tomboy side while Michael was into less enthusiastic things. They then broke up.In Jermaine's 2011 book,You are not alone, he said that Madonna had the nerve to critize Janet and I am sure that upset Michael in ways unexplained. Michael said in an interview many years later that Madonna was a "a nasty wicth" and I don't know if something happened between them then or if it was because of the bad sort of breakup between them.Not many people know because he never spoke much about releationships with girls.
Michael was mostly quite durning the first begining of the new decade.Mainly because his grandmother had past away in 1990.After recovering from that, Michael began planing his next studio album with Epic that would be called Dangerous. Michael had decieded to do another album that would probally be his frist step downwards. It didn't become the thrid of fourth album of all time. But it is in the top 100 albums of all. He did do what he did with BAD though.He released nine singles. So it ties with BAD for the most singles released from one album. The singles were:Black or White released November 14,1991. Remember the Time released on Jan. 14,1992. In the Closet released April 20,1992. Jam released July13,1992. Who is it released August 31,1992. Heal the World released on November 23,1992. Give into Me released on
Feburary 15,1993. Will You be There released on June 28,1993. Gone Too Soon released on December 6,1993.The musc videos released from this album are Jam, In the Closet,Remember The Time,Heal the World, Black or White,Who is it, Give into me, Will You Be there and Gone Too Soon. Jam was a music video that circled around Basketball. So when you think Basketball he thought MIchael Jordan. The video would circle around Michael dancing and Michael Jordan shooting baskets. Michael's nephews (who would later become 3T) appeared in a small part of the music video dancing. Behind the Scenes in Jam were where MIchael Jackson was teaching Michael Jordan how to dance and Michael Jordan was teaching Michael Jackson how to play basketball. JAM was directed by David Nelson in 1992.Heavy D did the rapping for Jam.
In the Closet,another music video from Dangerous, was a video where Michael was dancing with himself and doing some moves with supermodel,Naomi Cambell. In the Closet was written by Michael and was shoot in Salton Sea,California in a desert where a building and car were placed.The video takes place in black and white. It was directed by Herb Ritts.
The next music video was Remember the Time. This video had scenes of a queen and king and it was set to look like egyptian music video with egyptian style choregraphy. Eddie Murphy played the king while Iman played the queen. Michael was singing to the queen to let her remember the time when they fell in love. Making the King made. Overall winning the queen over. He serenades her throughout the video and ends the video with hard core egyptian choregraphy. The video was directed by John Singleton.Michael often said that a music video should have a begining, middle and ending.He didn't like calling music videos music videos,he like calling them film.
The next film is, Heal the World which showed pictures of innocent and poor child accross the world. Michael does not appear in the film. This was a video that he used to explain the trouble that children have to go through everyday. Heal the World was directed by Joe Pytka.
The next film is Black or White. This was the first time that friend Maculay Culkin would be in something that Michael would do. So he was the starter. He was a child who wanted to listen to music but it was too late. His father screamed turn that off. So Culkin would drag in a mega speaker and blast the music blowing his father into an alternate universe where Michael came in singing and dancing. The last part was of Michael turning into a black panther and walking off set. He would then turn back into human. He started to dance and did some of the most incredible dancing that any human could have seen. He would then start going crazy and slamming car windows and breaking property. This sturred up some contreversy because people thought it was offensive and that Michael was teaching our children that vandalizam was OK because he was such a rolemodel to kids all over. So that eventually died down. He did have to say that the occult of the video is to not to be taken literally. It was a way of showing what music does to him. There was never a change to the video,but he did owe those offended a apoligy. Michael said that durning the behind the scenes that he really like it because they would have water ballon fights and pie fights. Michael loved those moments. Black or White was directed by John Landis in 1991. The rap lyrics were by Bill Bottrell.
The next film is Who is it. Who is it is most likely Michael's least viewed music video. It was not known to a lot of people that it had come out. It was really about Michael coping over a girl that left him for a mysterious reason.So there were clips of Michael coping and then clips of what the girl was doing. It was only 4mins long very rare does Michael do music videos that short. Who is it was directed by David Fincher in 1992.
The next film is Give into Me. Give into me was a performance. He was in a concert scene and perfroming Give into me.Give into me was directed by Andy Morahan in 1992. The video premired on Oprah's Interview with Michael in early 1993.That interview was 90mins and was done at Michael's house,Neverland.It was the first interview Michael had done in 14 years. Michael didn't like interviews to much. He was more comfortable on stage and performing. Not telling all about himself in a interview. Oprah's interview helped Michael in a way to. It helped him overcome the lies that had been said. Like the new rumor in 1991.The rumor Michael didn't wan't to perform at Bill Clinton's inarguration. That Oprah interview helped change a lot of the things in the late 80s'. Michael would talk about girlfriend,Brooke Shields, and would start to talk about the beatingsby his father and how it effected him as a child and adult. He talked about how the moonwalk came to part and got embarrassed when it came to being asked to sing and dance for Oprah. Classic Michael. Michael also revealed how shy he was outside of performing. He describe his personality. For those 90mins,the world saw what the real Michael was like instead of the Michael we see in the music mirror.
The next film is Will You Be There. That was just two performances of Michael performing from his tours.Will You Be There was directed by Vincent Patterson.
The final film is Gone Too Soon is Michael's saddest song. It is really hard to listen to,I know, especially now that he is gone. But Michael met famous the child,Ryan White, who had Aids and the world wa trying to help him get cured. Sadly, Ryan White died in late 1991 and Michael was at his furneal. The song Gone Too Soon was dedicated.In about the late 80s', Michael had started his trips to going to foster homes and children hospitals accross the world when he was traveling durning his Dangerous and BAD tours. He often said that he would adopt a boy and a girl from every country of the world.There are 258 countries in the world. So Michael would have had 516 kids. He had an extreme love for children and they were what were closest to his heart that anything. It heart him to see children sick and dying. In the theather that him and Maculay designed, there are beds in the walls for children who are bed-written can still come and see the shows. He would have children come to the ranch and see magic shows and diffrent entertainment segments.Michael also made charitable donations to charities around the world.Some grossing towards a million dollars.
Going back to the Gone too Soom film, there were clips of Michael and Ryan spending time before he died.Gone Too Soon was directed by Bill DiCico.
Going back to the early 90s' around the time Michael was recording his Dangerous album,model Brooke Shields would appear.She and him became close friends which devloped into a lovely boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. They were seriously dating around the time of Michael's Oprah interview.They had been quitely dating for about two years. Michael was often quite shy about talking about things like virginity and relationships as you can see in this interview.Michael him and Brooke Shields were quite close. They would go on dates at each others' houses and they were a very cute couple.They met when Brooke was 13 and on the verge of becoming a model and actress and Michael was about in his 20s. They started dating when Michael was in his early 30s' and Brooke in her 20s'. Michael did ask Brooke to marry hm.In fact he actually asked her to marry him several times. “There were times when he would ask me to marry him, and I would say, ‘You me for the rest of your life, you don’t need to marry me, I’m going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you’ll always have me’.” Shields says of her relationship to the one she called “her little prince”.Brooke said in an interview after Michael's death. At his memorial,she spoke talking about some of the things she and Michael did as kids and adults.
In 1992,there was an movie made after the Jacksons called "The Jacksons:An American Dream".It mainly starts of where Joe and Katherine met and their first date leading up to the kids births and ends with the Victory Tour in 1984.The Movie was released in 1992 and it is made if two halves because it is a 5 hour movie. The movie was the best biography movie of the 90s'. It was viewed on televison and never put in a movie theather. The first part aired on November 15,1992 and got a little over 21 million views. The second part was aired on November 18,1992 and got around 33 million views. The movie was directed by Karen Arthur. The Michael actor that played the around Thriller Michael died a year later because of leukiema. The movie was successful and it is still played in two parts of TV stations today.Especially around Michael's death and birthday.
In mid 1993,Michael won three Soul Train Awards and performed.He performed his new single Remember the Time and had performed it in a chair. Apparently,when Michael was dancing he went into a spin and twisted his ankle. He may not have been able to dance in his performance,but he still really good.He only did the upper body moves and stood up a little in the middle. He did really good.One of the awards he was accepting was the 1993 Humanitarian Award for his creation of his foundation,Heal the World Foundation and his donation to charities and orphanges all around the world throughout his years. Eddie Murphy talked Michael into explaining what happened to his ankle and interupting Michael throughout his entire speech jokingly.
Also in 1993,Michael decieded to feature in longtime friend's,Eddie Murphy, song called Whatzupwitu. Michael and Eddie really hit it off in when Michael wanted him to play the king in his music video,Remember the Time. So I guess in return Michael on one of his songs that would be called Whatzupwitu.Michael and Eddie did make a short music video for the song which features the dynamic duo in the clouds and singing the song and Michael and a choir of young children appear. Michael reportedly featured in the song because it had a positive message.
Believe it or not(your choice),Michael and Madonna dated for a little bit.Michael met Madonna durning the Victory Tour and ended falling for Randy. Well just say it didn't work out. Her and Michael were seen in a car on there way to what seemed to be a date. There were only one or possibly two dates. Until they realized they were completely diffrent people. Michael was soft and gentle.Madonna was loud and hard core. She had a tomboy side while Michael was into less enthusiastic things. They then broke up.In Jermaine's 2011 book,You are not alone, he said that Madonna had the nerve to critize Janet and I am sure that upset Michael in ways unexplained. Michael said in an interview many years later that Madonna was a "a nasty wicth" and I don't know if something happened between them then or if it was because of the bad sort of breakup between them.Not many people know because he never spoke much about releationships with girls.
Michael was mostly quite durning the first begining of the new decade.Mainly because his grandmother had past away in 1990.After recovering from that, Michael began planing his next studio album with Epic that would be called Dangerous. Michael had decieded to do another album that would probally be his frist step downwards. It didn't become the thrid of fourth album of all time. But it is in the top 100 albums of all. He did do what he did with BAD though.He released nine singles. So it ties with BAD for the most singles released from one album. The singles were:Black or White released November 14,1991. Remember the Time released on Jan. 14,1992. In the Closet released April 20,1992. Jam released July13,1992. Who is it released August 31,1992. Heal the World released on November 23,1992. Give into Me released on
Feburary 15,1993. Will You be There released on June 28,1993. Gone Too Soon released on December 6,1993.The musc videos released from this album are Jam, In the Closet,Remember The Time,Heal the World, Black or White,Who is it, Give into me, Will You Be there and Gone Too Soon. Jam was a music video that circled around Basketball. So when you think Basketball he thought MIchael Jordan. The video would circle around Michael dancing and Michael Jordan shooting baskets. Michael's nephews (who would later become 3T) appeared in a small part of the music video dancing. Behind the Scenes in Jam were where MIchael Jackson was teaching Michael Jordan how to dance and Michael Jordan was teaching Michael Jackson how to play basketball. JAM was directed by David Nelson in 1992.Heavy D did the rapping for Jam.
In the Closet,another music video from Dangerous, was a video where Michael was dancing with himself and doing some moves with supermodel,Naomi Cambell. In the Closet was written by Michael and was shoot in Salton Sea,California in a desert where a building and car were placed.The video takes place in black and white. It was directed by Herb Ritts.
The next music video was Remember the Time. This video had scenes of a queen and king and it was set to look like egyptian music video with egyptian style choregraphy. Eddie Murphy played the king while Iman played the queen. Michael was singing to the queen to let her remember the time when they fell in love. Making the King made. Overall winning the queen over. He serenades her throughout the video and ends the video with hard core egyptian choregraphy. The video was directed by John Singleton.Michael often said that a music video should have a begining, middle and ending.He didn't like calling music videos music videos,he like calling them film.
The next film is, Heal the World which showed pictures of innocent and poor child accross the world. Michael does not appear in the film. This was a video that he used to explain the trouble that children have to go through everyday. Heal the World was directed by Joe Pytka.
The next film is Black or White. This was the first time that friend Maculay Culkin would be in something that Michael would do. So he was the starter. He was a child who wanted to listen to music but it was too late. His father screamed turn that off. So Culkin would drag in a mega speaker and blast the music blowing his father into an alternate universe where Michael came in singing and dancing. The last part was of Michael turning into a black panther and walking off set. He would then turn back into human. He started to dance and did some of the most incredible dancing that any human could have seen. He would then start going crazy and slamming car windows and breaking property. This sturred up some contreversy because people thought it was offensive and that Michael was teaching our children that vandalizam was OK because he was such a rolemodel to kids all over. So that eventually died down. He did have to say that the occult of the video is to not to be taken literally. It was a way of showing what music does to him. There was never a change to the video,but he did owe those offended a apoligy. Michael said that durning the behind the scenes that he really like it because they would have water ballon fights and pie fights. Michael loved those moments. Black or White was directed by John Landis in 1991. The rap lyrics were by Bill Bottrell.
The next film is Who is it. Who is it is most likely Michael's least viewed music video. It was not known to a lot of people that it had come out. It was really about Michael coping over a girl that left him for a mysterious reason.So there were clips of Michael coping and then clips of what the girl was doing. It was only 4mins long very rare does Michael do music videos that short. Who is it was directed by David Fincher in 1992.
The next film is Give into Me. Give into me was a performance. He was in a concert scene and perfroming Give into me.Give into me was directed by Andy Morahan in 1992. The video premired on Oprah's Interview with Michael in early 1993.That interview was 90mins and was done at Michael's house,Neverland.It was the first interview Michael had done in 14 years. Michael didn't like interviews to much. He was more comfortable on stage and performing. Not telling all about himself in a interview. Oprah's interview helped Michael in a way to. It helped him overcome the lies that had been said. Like the new rumor in 1991.The rumor Michael didn't wan't to perform at Bill Clinton's inarguration. That Oprah interview helped change a lot of the things in the late 80s'. Michael would talk about girlfriend,Brooke Shields, and would start to talk about the beatingsby his father and how it effected him as a child and adult. He talked about how the moonwalk came to part and got embarrassed when it came to being asked to sing and dance for Oprah. Classic Michael. Michael also revealed how shy he was outside of performing. He describe his personality. For those 90mins,the world saw what the real Michael was like instead of the Michael we see in the music mirror.
The next film is Will You Be There. That was just two performances of Michael performing from his tours.Will You Be There was directed by Vincent Patterson.
The final film is Gone Too Soon is Michael's saddest song. It is really hard to listen to,I know, especially now that he is gone. But Michael met famous the child,Ryan White, who had Aids and the world wa trying to help him get cured. Sadly, Ryan White died in late 1991 and Michael was at his furneal. The song Gone Too Soon was dedicated.In about the late 80s', Michael had started his trips to going to foster homes and children hospitals accross the world when he was traveling durning his Dangerous and BAD tours. He often said that he would adopt a boy and a girl from every country of the world.There are 258 countries in the world. So Michael would have had 516 kids. He had an extreme love for children and they were what were closest to his heart that anything. It heart him to see children sick and dying. In the theather that him and Maculay designed, there are beds in the walls for children who are bed-written can still come and see the shows. He would have children come to the ranch and see magic shows and diffrent entertainment segments.Michael also made charitable donations to charities around the world.Some grossing towards a million dollars.

Michael reportedly featured in the song because it had a positive message.
Michael's next tour was the Dangerous World Tour. Michael did 40 shows in Europe,18 in Asia,6 in South America and 5 in North America with a total of 69 shows in all. Michael would performing songs such as Jam, Wanna Be Startin Somethin, Dangerous and Smooth Crimnal. The tour went from June 27,1992 and November 11,1993. In the middle of traveling the world,making music videos and still showing up at the Grammmys' and American Music Awards, Michael was once again back in business at being on top. The Dangerous Tour was cut short because of illness that needed hospitalization.Michael was having problems such as dehydration, migraines and other injuries and slowly became dependent on painkillers. The tour was supposed to go to th end of December. In 1992,when announcing the Dangerous Tour he said that he was going to create something. So he created the Heal the World Foundation. Heal the World Foundation is a foundation that collects money and gives it to charity. Michael earned over 100 million dollars from 3.5 million fans. He also said in that confrence that he was going to donate all the Dangerous Tour profits to charity and wouldn't keep ANY of it for himself. So over 100 million was donated to charities in that year.
Leading up to the ending date,Nov. 11,1993, Michael had such problems which is why the ending of the tour was cancelled. Some of the problems were back aches,toothaches,recovering from collapesing,recovering from oral surgery and a courtdate(i'll explain later). Michael even collapesed before a show in Singapore,Sinapore. So that one was cancelled.They eventually realized that too many shows were getting cancelled or rescheduled so the ending of the tour was cancelled. Even though the tour ended short, he beat his own record with the BAD tour. The Dangerous Tour became the biggest tour any performer could have ever done. Michael had been doing the Dangerous Tour along with battling something. In the middle of 1993,he had been accussed by Evan Chandler of sexually molesting his son,Jordan Chandler. The relationship between Michael and thirteen year old Jordan was like best friend. You wouldn't expect something like this to come out of the family. Evan had often threathend to go public with the evidence that he claimed he had on Michael. These allegations were made because of one really big factor. Michael allowed children to sleep over at the house in Neverland,not sleeping with him.So to Michael these allegations were absurd. Evan Chandler was taped on a telephone interview talking about what he thought Michael was planning to do. Then said I will win this battle.I never lose. And that Michael's carrer is over. According to Taraborrelli, Evan was forced to admit the
controversial sedative sodium amytal was used when he extracted a tooth from Jordan in early August.On May 3, 1994, KCBS-TV news reported that Evan claimed the drug was used for tooth extraction and that the allegations came out while Jordan was under the influence of the drug.Michael's house was raded and they needed to do a search warrant on him to make sure that his case vitiligo was real.The reason the allegations started was because Michael met Jordie and his mother at a car dealership and started a real friendship. There were times were Jordie would miss weekends with his father,Evan, in return to spend time with Michael.Evan orignally wanted to do some movie and wanted to win an Oscar.He thought Michael was a perfect way to get what he had always wanted. So he demanded Michael to give him 20 million to start his dream or he would go through with allegations to get the money because it wasn't fair or something that Jordie was spending all his time with Michael and not him. Michael refused to pay and when he and Jordie were in the Asian leg of Michael's Dangerous Tour, they had heard on the news that they were looking through Neverland, an apartment Michael had nearby Neverland and went through the cabinets at Hayvenhurst for evidence that Michael had molested Jordie,who was under the influence when the allegations were told to the police. Michael was then forced to do a humilating search warrant and strip bare to make sure that the marks that an under the influence Jordie said Michael had and traces that Michael really had Vitiligo and Lupus. Michael said it was dehumanizing and humiliating something that no one should have to suffer. When nothing was found in Michael's tore up home and former home things began to fall in to place and Michael and his legal team proved the allegations false.Michael was forced to cancel some of his tour dates to go to court dates to prove his innocence. Jordie eventually came up to prove that Michael was innocent and the allegations are false. In early 1993, Michael was invited to play the Super Bowl halftime show.He performed his songs Jam,Black or White,Billie Jean and Heal the World. Michael's halftime show became one of the most viewed things in the world. It became the most viewed thing for the USA with 135 million views,not including the crowd.That became another milestone in the Michael Jackson super legacy. Michael's performance has been viewed by over 250 million people with just Americans alone.
Michael performed at the Soul Train Music Awards that year and performed Remember The Time. He performed in a chair because he had been dancing and went into one of his long spins. He twisted his ankle and was on cruches for a while. Also at the Soul Train Music Awards, Michael hoped up on stage and excepted the Humanitarian of the decade award becaue of his donations from the Dangerous Tour, his spending time at foster homes accross the world and for creating the Heal the World Foundation for homeless people across the world. In 1988,Michael also got a degree from the United Negro College for his successful work.Elizabeth Taylor and Whitney Houston were also there.
Michael's two best friends would have to be Liz Taylor and Diana Ross. Diana Ross was Michael's chidhood crush which slowly,and I mean slowly, devloped into a role model and sister like figure. Diana and Michael were like two peas in a pod.They were really close.When Michael wrote his will on July 7,2002, he had named Diana as the second caregiver for his children after his mother. Next came Liz Taylor after Diana,Taylor never got her chance because she passed away in early 2011. Michael had a strong love for art and passed that down to his daughter,Paris. That love came from Diana Ross.When Michael and his brothers had got really big and were finnacially they moved to California. Until Michael's parents got everything together the kids lived with Diana or Berry it didn't matter because they lived right next to each other. Michael mostly stayed with Diana who taught him how to draw. That art really devolped and flourished. That love spread until the sad day of June 25,2009.In an interview in 1988 Ebony inteview,Michael said that he loved Diana and the inteviewer said as a friend,he said more.He said she was the most beautiful woman.He said in book,Moonwalker, that he said that she was his sister,lover and mother all wrapped in one.He also said that he was a little bit jealous because of a recent marriage that she had just had at the time.
Elizabeth Taylor. Liz and Michael had a loving relationship.He met her at a concert when he was 16. They were friends until Thursday June 25,2009. Michael and Liz would talk and have really long talks via phone at night. He dearly love her. In 1993,Liz had got Michael a gift.She got him an elephant. Liz was dressed as an gypsy so the elephants name becamed Gypsy.The look on Michael's face was hilarious when he walked out of the back of his and saw it. He said at first he was scared because it was so huge. He then got used to it because you could feed it so much. In return Michael gave Liz a wall sized portrait of herself from one of her movies. The moral was painted and given to Liz by Michael. In the year of 1997,Liz Taylor had a televised show of her ultimate birthday party.Celebertities were all over the place. Comedy acts performed acts incooperating Liz into them.Michael performed song that he wrote especially for Liz for her birthday. The name of the song is Elizabeth I love You and as Michael says"It came from the heart." Michael and Taylor became especially close going back to 1993 in Oprah's interview Liz Taylor did a suprise cameo. A rumor had been spread that Michael had proposed to Liz Taylor at a party and she refused. Michael blushed his way out of the rumors that were said and officially confirmed not true in that interview.There was even an rumor that he proposed to Diana Ross which is also false. Poor Michael.
Michael decieded to do more Pepsi coommercials even though when he did his first Pepsi commercial he had to get talked into it because he didn't even like the the product.Yet he aggreed. He did more in early 1990s' with songs from his Dangerous album. Those were the last of the Michael Jackson pepsi commercial.These commercials are rare because they didn't get as popular as the other commercials he did with Pepsi in the mid to late 90s.

Michael was now known as one of the greatest entertainers of all time. It had been a while since he had somebody to love though.When Michael was 17,The King's Daughter Lisa Marie Presely was seven.She came to a Jacksons concert and Michael waited until she was older and tried to get in touch with her. He would ask his manager do you know Lisa Marie Presely. He would say no but I'm trying. Eventually Michael had met Lisa and about early 1993 durning the allegations that were pulled against him. They became close friends that would burn to a real romance. She helped him get over some of his problems. Slowly she started to fall for him. One day they had a conversation like this.
"Would you marry me if I had asked you?" said Michael.
"Yes I would."said Lisa.
"Ok then" said a sounded like smiling Michael.
Michael then proposed to Lisa in the fall of 1993 in that very phone call.In May of 1994 Lisa Marie Presely had became Lisa Marie Jackson. Michael was very happy. Addmitting in a interview that he did with Babarba Walters along with Lisa by his side, saying that the pervious marriage she had were she had two other children that he was a little bit jealous of her new bow. The then divorced and around the same time Michael met Lisa and love blossomed from there. The wedding was held in the Domican Republic wtih only Lisa's former brother in law as the guest. Michael called his family afterwards and told them the news. Even though they acted like a married couple the first two months they denied there marriage. A small piece of the wedding was showed on the jumbo screen durning the Babara Walters interview that was done with him and her in 1994. The blushing couple answered questions about what there married life was like and were very serious with a supporitive Lisa by Michael's side as the child molestation charges came to an end.They really were like the ultimate couple. The marriage came to an end in 1996 to unrecongizeable diffrences. Lisa addmitted in 2010 that after Michael's second marriage that they spent four years breaking up and getting back together until she decieded to stop.They just became friends.
Lisa also said in an 2010 interview that a reason she and Michael divorced it was because he it was around the time of the molestation charges and Michael was trying to be out of the limelight as much as possible. So he went out to his places that for respect I will keep private. Lisa said she would speak to him over phone but wouldn't see him for months. She also didn't want to have children and Michael obviously did. So that could have been a reason that lead to the divorce.Unreconizable diffrences.
"Would you marry me if I had asked you?" said Michael.
"Yes I would."said Lisa.
"Ok then" said a sounded like smiling Michael.
Michael then proposed to Lisa in the fall of 1993 in that very phone call.In May of 1994 Lisa Marie Presely had became Lisa Marie Jackson. Michael was very happy. Addmitting in a interview that he did with Babarba Walters along with Lisa by his side, saying that the pervious marriage she had were she had two other children that he was a little bit jealous of her new bow. The then divorced and around the same time Michael met Lisa and love blossomed from there. The wedding was held in the Domican Republic wtih only Lisa's former brother in law as the guest.

Michael coutiued his record deal with Sony and created his ninth studio album. The name of the album was HIStory:Past Present and Future. HIStory was half greatest hits and half new songs. There were two CDs and one had greatest hits such as Billie Jean and the Way you make me feel.The second CD consisted of songs that were new. A few of the songs pretain to the allegations and the tabloids made against him. There were six singles released: Scream and You are not alone are two diffrent songs yet they make up one release. They were released on May 31,1995. Scream was the first song that Michael decieded to do with a family memeber that wasn't his brothers. He did a collaberation with his sister,Janet Jackson,or Miss Rythmn Nation. The collaberation was a pretty big hit in the USA. The second single was You are Not Alone was released on August 15,1995. The third single was Earth Song.Released on November 27,1995. The fourth single was This Time Around released on December 26,1995. The fifth single was They don't really care about us released March 31,1996. The last single was Stranger in the Moscow released Novemeber 4,1996. This Time Around was a radio-only single. The singles Earth Song,They Don't Really Care About Us and Stranger in The Moscow were unsuccessful in the USA but were successful in other countries. HIStory became the biggest selling double side album in history. HIStory was a success by music critics and it was successful in multiple count
They Don't really care about us created some steam.The lyrics "Jew Me,Sue Me/Kick Me/Kike Me/Don't you black or white me" were labeled offesive and racist. Jewish were offended.Michael then tried to explain that the lyrics were not harmful and not racist by saying the following comment:"The idea that these lyrics could be deemed objectionable is extremely hurtful to me, and misleading. The song in fact is about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the black man, I am the white man. I am not the one who was attacking. It is about the injustices to young people and how the system can wrongfully accuse them. I am angry and outraged that I could be so
misinterpreted."said Michael. Jewish countries had banned the song from there youngsters and any other material by Michael because of it being offensive. Michael wanted his music to be expressed from ages 1 day old -130 years old.He wanted his music to spread young and old. So he than gave another speech saying the following appollogy. "I just want you all to know how strongly I am committed to tolerance, peace and love, and I apologize to anyone who might have been hurt." Michael changed the lyrics to Do me/Sue Me/Kick Me/Strike Me/Don't you black or white me/. The lyrics were changed and the countries that banned Michael's music from those countries the unbanned.The video was directed by Spike Lee.I guess Michael thought his song was so powerful that he decieded to do another one. So there are two music videos for They don't really care about us. The second music video was shot to look like it was shot in a prison.Michael was in a prison and chainned to bars of his cell.Then came clips of the other prisoners as Michael's backdancers and singers.They shot videos of Michael in a cell and in the caferteria.This became known as They don't really care about us(prison version).This music video was directed by Spike Lee too.
The music videos for HIStory were Scream,Earth Song,They Don't Really Care About Us both versions,childhood,You are not alone and Stranger in the Moscow.
Earth Song was the next music video. It starts of with showing a forest and showing clips of people with an Earth shattering. Michael is also surrounded by what looks like an on fire desert. This song means a lot because one of Michael's main goals was to stop famine,there be no foster homes,no orphanges,no water pollution,no lack of water. Michael wanted the Earth to be a better place.That's what this song was to let people realize what that was about. This video was directed by Nicholas Brandt in September of 1995.
The next song is Michael's most powerful song personally. This song meant much to him. It is called Childhood. It really represents him the most. It is about him and it talks about some of that people say is weird or crazy but not to him. It represents him in a way that a lot of his other songs cannot. The scenes are of him sitting on a rock in the middle of a forest at night wacthing other children playing in hot air ballons and running around frolicking in the forest.Childhood was directed by Nicholas Brandt. Michael wrote this song and many of your other favorites such as Black or white and You are not alone in a tree at Neverland somewhere on his 3000 arces of land. This tree is what he named as the Giving Tree. There was a small pouch big enough for Michael to climb in and he'd just sit there creating. He would sometmes go up there to clear his mind.Since his land was so big,there was an long dirt road that was about a mile long that he would just walk down to clear his head. Childhood was spark and inspired by the childhood Michael never got to have and of those who had an even less fortunate childhood then him.Listen to the lyrics and you can understand the reasons why he enjoyed such things even as an 50 year old man.
The next music video was Scream,the song with the Janet Jackson duet, was made in a a spaceship look-a-like and some scenes were shot to look upside down. Michael and Janet was filmed were filmed doing normal things like playing a video game and playing tennis. The point of the song was to prove the point of the press driving them crazy so much that it makes them want to scream. That's what the song means.It was written by Michael,Janet,Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The video was directed by Mark Romaanek. Scream did win an MTV in 1995.
The next music video is You are not alone. This music video was shot durning the marriage of Michael and Lisa Marie's marriage. So it Michael had her be in the music video. The song is about a girl that leaves and Michael is saying that you always be in my heart and that You are not alone that I am here with you.The video's main scene was an auditorium and Michael's on the stage singing to an empty room. Almost like flashbacks of him and the girl(Lisa) in good times. The music video was directed by Wayne Isham. This song was wriiten by close friend R.Kelly.
The last and final video was Stranger in the Moscow. It was shot in a scene that was outside a busy town and it started to rain and people would look up and just dream or whatever. The video was directed by Nicholas Brandt and was written by Michael. He actually wrote this song when he was on his tour in Moscow.He said he was in his hotel room and it was raining and it sort of just came to mind.
In late 1995, Jackson was rushed to a hospital after collapsing during rehearsals for a televised performance; the incident was caused by a stress-related panic attack. He was rushed to a hospital and the doctor said that this was life or death.He could be the world's most hated man if something happened to this particular patient.Michael had suffered from hydration and other minor things but was expected to make a full recovery and contiune his tour.

Michael was now planning to do another tour that would be called the HIStory tour.HIStory was durning the time that Michael divorced his wife,Lisa Marie,Presely. Before the HIStory Tour,Michael wanted an extreme way to promote his tour. So he told the Sony/Epic excutives that he wanted giant statues of himself to promote it. Each statue was about 32 ft tall.Each made of steel and fiberglass. If you remember the outfits that Michael wore durning his Dangerous Tour ,and in his stellar Superbowl performance, they each were dressed in the in military outfits.The statues looked like the statue on the Michael on the cover of his HIStory album.There were statues in London,England floating down the Thames River.London's Tower Bridge was raised so the statue could float after. Another statue was placed in Berlin,Germany in Alexzandeplatz.The statues were to promote HIStory's tour and the album.
There were 44 concerts in Europe,19 in Asia,11 in Austrilla,6 in Africa and 2 in North America with a total of 89. The two final concerts in Hippodrome Wellington and Hippodrome.Hippodrome Wellington was cancelled because of Princess Diana's death. Michael was told by his dermetoglist about her death,he said that he cried all day. He could not beleive it. Princess Diana was one of Michael's closest friends,they would spend hours on end talking to each other. For her,early in the morning and for him in the middle of the night.

Debbie Rowe and Michael had met actually in the in the early to mid 80s' where she was his nurse to help treat his condition lupus that as you see completly destroyed his orignal pigmentation.She recalled that after Jackson's divorce from Lisa Marie Presley in 1996, he was upset at the possibility that he might never become a father. Rowe, a longtime Michael proposed to have his children. Some people think that she did this as a woman wanting affection but it was not she wanted to give Michael the gift that he had always wanted.On Febuary 17 1997, She gave him that gift. She gave birth to Michael's eldest Prince Michael Joesph Jackson or Michael Joesph Jackson Jr. Michael loved his son. His first born. Finally he had a child that he could call his.

Durning one of the concerts on August 29,1997 on Michael's 37th birthday he was miles away from his family.He was in the city of Copenhagen,Denmark. When the crew stopped the song and Michael was obviously clueless. Then he saw this huge cake come up on the stage that read Happy Birthday,Michael. A marching band came out on the stage and played Happy Birthday while the crowd sang along and cheered. Michael thanked the audience for their care and support and the crew for suprising him like that. Fireworks went off in the front of the stadium. It was surely a moment he would not forget.
In early 1998, Michael attended friend ,Liz Taylor's, birthday bash. There were all sorts of singers and comedians there to celebrate Miss Liz Taylor's birthday.It was similar to Betty White's 90 birthday bash that permiered on TV.

Michael was secretly recording something along with recording his two albums Dangerous and HIStory.Blood on the Dance Floor:HIStory in the Mix was what Michael had been planning. This album was was released on May 20,1997. This album has five new songs and the rest of the tracks have all sorts of remixes of songs from his HIStory album hints the fact that it is called Blood on the Dance Floor:HIStory in the Mix. The five new songs that were written to go on the Blood on the Dance Floor:HIStory in the Mix were called Blood on the Dance Floor, Morphine, Superfly Sister,Ghost and Is it scary. The singles released on the new album were Blood on the Dance Floor:HIStory in the Mix were Blood on the Dance floor released March 21,1997. Ghost/History released July 30,1997.Finally,Is it Scary? released on November 8,1997. Those were the singles. The music videos for this album are kind of unique. One of them happen to be the longest music video in the history of the world. That video is called Ghost. Ghost is a viedo that really relates to how Michael felt he was treated. He played multiple characters. He played himself but his name would be changed to Maestro instead of Michael.He also some of the ghost and the town mayor. The video starts of with a sort of like Neverland like front and moving to the scene where the mayor(Michael) would walk into the house with a group of kids and their parents. Then Michael appears and then the mayor(Michael) starts saying that Maestro should get out of town because Maestro would tell a lot of ghost to the local kids. The mayor didn't like it. If you pay attention this is how Michael felt he was treated with the people that thought he was weird and bazzare. Maestro locks the house down and performs the three songs 2 Bad Is it Scary and Ghost.This video is to prove that he is a person too.Even if he likes things that are diffrent then you he deserved respect. It's sad that he will never see it because of that horrible day.Ghost was directed by Stan Winston and Ghost is still the longest music video ever at a record 39 mins and 36 seconds.
The next music video is for Blood on The Dance Floor and it is sort of revolves around the tango. Michael is flimed singing between woman's legs and doing the tango. The video is about a few mintutes long nothing compared to the video for Ghosts. The director is Michael Jackson and Vincent Patteron.
Also around that time,Michael newphew's made up the band 3T. 3T are all the sons of Tito Jackson. If you remember back to Michael Jackson's 1992 music video,JAM, you remember in one of the shots.There was a kid who was doing a Michael Jackson like move and Michael looks up to the camera with a suprised look. That kid was his one of his nephews. He was going to form the group 3T with his brothers. Michael and 3T did a duet in about 1997 or 98ish. The name of the song was Why and there was a music video for it with scenes of a pool and Michael and 3T just are filmed singing the song. That video was probally Michael's least popular video. The video was supposed to go onto Michaels HIStory:Past,Present and Future album but he gave it to his nephews instead.It went on their album,Brotherhood.

Michael was now happy with his two children and happy wife. He decieded to do a MJ and Friends concerts in the ending June in 1999. The first concert was held in Seoul, Korea on June 25,1999 and the second show was held in Munich at the Olympic stadium on June 27 1999.These concerts were charity concerts. The concert series entitles “What more can I give” was a benefit charity concert for “the children of Kosovo”.The cocerts had artist like Luther Vandross.Michael performed his songs like You are not alone,Don't Stop till you get enough and Earth Song. In the concert in Munich, Michael was performing his song Earth Song. There was a bridge that was forming and Michael made his way onto it. The bridge formed in three parts. The bridge would start on the stage and then as you walked up it, the bridge would get higher then lower just like a real bridge. Michael made his way up and it. He would perform the the chrous of Earth Song. Then the bridge would start to disconnect. The bridge's outer parts would go towards the ending of the stage while the middle part would slowly start to fall slowly,with Michael on it, to the stage where he would get off the bridge.Instead,the bridge collapes more than 100 feet right in front of the front row fans that were wacthing the concert. Michael's make-up artist,Karen Faye, said in an interview that she thought he was dead. His fall was so hard. Michael used a rope to climb back up to the stage and he still contiued to perform even though he was in pain. Michael had suffered back pains fromt the fall and was rushed to the hospital after the concert was over. He contiued to sing and dance even though he was hurt. That's someone who cares about his fans. When he walked off stage he just collappsed. He was rushed to the hospital. Some people believe that the accident was done on purpose. Some people believe it was just a severe accident that fell.Michael was out of the hospital and sent back home to rest. He was on medication to cure the pain and then Michael was back to the Michael we all know and love.
On October 8th 1999, Michael filed for divorce against his wife,Debbie Rowe.There was a long battle between the two of them for custody of Prince and Paris. Michael ended up with a custody of Paris and Prince. While Debbie would get visitatation hours. That was the ending to Michael's 90s' year. The last decade he would ever survive.

The last single was Butterflies released Febuary 8,2002.The album was released on October 30,2001. Michael decieded to not do another tour. He relectivly did not really like to tour. He like to go from country to country and just meet the fans. He liked to meet diffrent important people besides the Presidest of South Africa or Nelson Mandela. He liked to meet diffrent people in the world. Especially those poeple who are fans. He loved his fans.He often called them his second family. On September 10,2001. Michael decieded to do something that his fans would remember forever.He threw a little concert at a sold out Madison Square Garden. In the show he had perfomers such as Chris Rock, Usher, himself as he did a medly of some of his most famous songs. The big suprise was that in more than 20 years would be him and his brothers doing a reuion. All six of the Jackson boys would be doing a reuion. They did songs and did a performance simliar to their Motown 25 performace. They performed I want you back,ABC,Love you save, I'll be there and Shake your body down.The performance was magical just as their Motown 25 performance was magical. The concert was awesome and premiered on TV's everywhere.The event was called Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary.It was really special,I know,it was the last time that we would see all six of them on a stage together. There was also another concert of Michael Jackson:30th Anniversary on September 7,2001 too, but the one on September 10 was the one that aired on TV and the one that made it on DVD. More of the performers included Liza Minnelli,Marc Anthony,Whitney Houston,Usher ,Mya,Shaggy,Mr.Bombastic and more. Michael also had the princess of pop,Britney Spears,come and strut on stage.Pretty much being the Tatiana Thumbzten for his song,The way you make me feel.The perfomances were magical but the next day was not.The next day was the horrible 9-11.It happened in the morning. That was one morning Michael was thanking God for making him stay sleep. Michael was suppossed to be at the top of the South World Trade Center. He overslept. So he missed some meeting he was suppossed to be doing.Jermaine said in an interview that many people may know that because of the tradgic terroist tradegy,that all plane flights were cancelled. So Michael,his family and Elizabeth Taylor who was at the concerts, had to drive themselves out of the state of New York.For Michael's Invicible album he would have gone on tour but, because of 9-11,he feared his safety if he toured overseas. So the tour was cancelled to his request. The plan for an Invicible Tour was already planned and all set to go. The design for the stage was set, and it was set to kick off in spring of 2002.
There was a little fight between Michael and Sony the record label. When Michael signed his contract with Sony and released his album,Invicible, at Sony Records.He would later sue Sony because of the lack of promotion that Sony had been doing for his album. Michael did do a Today Show apperance that caused a lot of caos in the streets of New York in about late 2001 to do extra promoting for his album. So far Invicible album sales weren't looking to great and the singles weren't either.So Michael talked music videos.The first music video for his Invicible album is You Rock My World in 2001 and is a 14 minute short film directed by Paul Hunter.The writters for this R&B type sound song.The song was written by Michael Jackson,Rodney(Darkchild) Jerkins,Fred Jerkins III,LaShawn Daniels and Nora Payne. Michael had invited international comedian,Chris Tucker,who had became good friends when Chris sort of became part of the act in Michael's premiere of the song at his 30th anniversary concerts. Chris and Michael are first filmed at a chinese resteraunt and see a girl who they follow to a club and Michael is determined to win her over. Only won thing standing in his way is the gangsters that want him dead. He sings his song,You Rock My World to her and then she falls for him. He goes back to to the stage and is joined by backup dancers who make their way behind Michael. They dance and incooperate fighting into their rountine. Michael then throws a bottle that hits a plug and starts a fire which burns the entire club down.Michael and the girl kiss and then are met by Chris in a car that drive off and the film is over.
The next video is called Cry. Cry is a music video that doesn't feature Michael but features the song Cry. We just see a group of people from all around the world join hands and form a long hand bond then the video is over. Cry is directed by Nick Brandt and was written by international R&B artist R.Kelly.

Michael was now deiceded to do something that would make a big diffrence in a lot of people's lives.He did another benefit concert where he and a group of performers perform their most memorable songs. The concert was to help raise money for the 9-11 victums's familly. More than 3000 people died including chidlren and Michael couldn't sit around.He had to do something.So in about 2002 he wrote a song called What More Can I Give that also in hopes it would help raise Invicible's popularity. So song was supposed to help with that and be dedicated to the tradegy of 9-11.
Also on Feburary 21 2002,his son Blanket was born to the world on an unknown birthdate. His mother was requested for privacy with the press and tabloid.His nickname is Blanket but his real name is Prince Michael Joesph Jackson II. He became Michael's third and final child. There were of course rumors that Blanket wasn't Michael's real child but indeed of pictures of Michael and his new son at certain ages they look alike.Their hair features are what Michael's hair look like around the 2000s' years. Michael has claimed that indeed Blanket is his own son. On November 20,2002 durning the filming of Michael's on air documentary with interviewer Martin Bashir that would air to the public in 2003.Martin followed Michael around for 8 months wacthing his every move.Durning the filming process in 2002,when Martin was arriving at Michael's hotel, he saw that Michael had dangled little Blanket off his hotel baconley.The crowd was shouting things like "LET ME SEE YOUR SON" and " F-U-C-K THE PRESS,MICHAEL YOUR THE BEST!" The crowd kept shouting"LET ME SEE YOUR SON!" and he responded. So for about 2 seconds he dangled Blanket out the hotel baconley. Press kept saying that Michael wasn't a good father. But he said that "they wanted to see my son. I held him. I wasn't going to let him fall if it was the last thing I do."By now Blanket was just getting to the world while Prince and Paris were about 3 and 6. Michael had said that he was always afraid that someone would try and take his kids away from him because of his fame. So to keep that from happening,most of the in public pictures of him and the kids,he kept their faces covered up with mask and cloths. That was to keep anyone from stealing them if they didn't know what they look like. After Michael's death, there were home videos of the children that were reavealed to the world. They were some of the most adorable things. Around the time that the two eldest were in toddler years. Those tapes showed what Michael was like with his children and the fun times they shared. There were also videos of birthday parties that the kids had with other celeberity friends of MIchael's kids were at.In 2002.Michael was now over 40 and decieded to write his will. The will was written and completed on July 7,2002.Michael in the will had most importantly who the caregiver of his kids would be. He named three women in particular. The three that he loved the most.His mother was first as the caregiver,then next possible caregiver would be Diana Ross and then after Diana would be Elizabeth Taylor. Michael wrote his will 7-7-02,his favorite number is 7, his first and middle and last name all have 7 letters, and his funeral was on 7-7-09 exactly 7 years after he wrote his will. Wierd right?
Also in 2002,Michael aggreed to do a cameo role in the film Men in Black II.The first Men in Black did successfully well and there was a sequel made. This sequel would feature Michael as one of the secret agents and his role only lasted about a minute. But he is still known for apppearing in the hit. In 2012,there was a second sequel to the series.

Michael in early 2003 was nominated for an award that would surround him for writing a song for the people that were killed in the crashings of hte bulidings on September 11,2001. His work with that benefit concert made him get nominated for his own award that would be called the Michael Jackson milliueium award that would be awarded to people who followed in the footsteps of him as far as charity work and doing things to make a diffrence in the world. Other artist that have won it are Britney Spears.
Michael also in 2003 decieded to another album. This album would be called Michael Jackson Number Ones. This album would have one new song and would have other number one hits such as Billie Jean,Black or Whtie, Smooth Crimnal and much more.The new song was called One More Chance and yes there was a music video made for it. It would be the last music video that he would ever make and that would go public.The video was only a few minutes long. It shows a group of people who walk on the stage and are entertained by Michael singing below.It was vice.Versa like Michael should be on the stage while the audience should be in the theather. The scene is at what looks like a dining area. Michael performs singing his song One More hance and gets on tables and dances. He performs and when the song is over the audience cheers and he walks out of the dining area. Michael song One More Chance was nominated for an award and you guessed it he won. Michael by now had over 25 American Music Awards too many Grammys.Thriller was over 25x Platium. BAD and Dangerous weren't far behind. Michael was the greatest entertainer in the world.With the most awards any artist could ever get. By now the MJ special with the interview with Martin Bashir had taken place. In the interview talked about all sorts of things that involved his relationships, and private life. That interview saw the real Michael. Some people don't like because Martin tried to twist up things that Michael does because he was now a 44 year old man and grown. So that he should,in his defense,grow up. Michael's inner child would never go away. That's just what Michael did to people. He made them become a child again. Durning the eight months that Martin did his long interview,Michael met 10 year old fan Gavin Arvizo. Gavin was a cancer patient and was on the verge of dying.Michael who met Gavin at a hospital has a brother.Michael let this story be similar to Jordie's accounts with Michael. Gavin's brother,Star, and Gavin got to know Michael. So eventually,just like with Jordie, Michael had a talk with Gavin and Star's parents and they kids got to stay with Michael at Neverland. Gavin said in the interview with Martin were he briefly appeared,that Michael was like Peter Pan and he can't help but follow him around everywhere. So Gavin and Star ended up in Michael's bedroom that night.There was a small dispute about who will sleep where.But it ended up Michael sleeping on the floor while Star and Gavin slept in the bed. Michael explained that when someone says "bed" that you automatically think sexual. That they weren't doing anything that they were just going to sleep.Later, the boy complained that he had not realized that the footage would be broadcast all over the world and that, after it aired, he was teased by his
friends. His mother stated that she had not given Bashir permission to film her son and was not even aware of it prior to broadcast.Responding to the controversy, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Thomas W. Sneddon Jr. stated that, under California law, an adult sleeping in the same bed as a child is not a criminal offense, unless
"affirmative, offensive conduct" occurs.Michael Jackson was initially charged in a criminal complaint by the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office. Before the case proceeded very far, Sneddon changed his strategy and obtained an indictment before a county grand jury. Michael was indicted for four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor in order to molest him, one count of attempted child molestation, and one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive
at his 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch, as well as conspiring to commit etortion and child abduction.Along with the warrant to search the premises was a warrant for the arrest of Jackson. Jackson was in Las Vegas, Nevada at the time recording a music video for his most recent hit single "One More Chance" from his greatest hits album 'Number Ones', which had been released at midnight, just hours before the warrants were issued and the allegations broke to the media. On November 20, Jackson flew in a leased jet to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and surrendered himself to California police. Driven by police to the Santa Barbara County Jail,
he emerged from the police vehicle in handcuffs. Many lawyers and Jackson supporters saw it as a police and media attempt to convince the public of Jackson's guilt,
while some saw a racial element to the police's actions. He was charged with "lewd or lascivious acts" with a child younger than 14 under section 288 of the California Penal Code.Durning this arrest, Michael's mug shot was taken. Eventually after his release from jail he paid the bail and was set free. There were still court dates to attend though to prove his innonce. Micahel evetually came out in 2005 where he was proven not guilty on all counts. Also Maculay Culkin was interviewed about the sleepovers that he had with Michael. For more proof to Michael's innonence.Michael was proven not gulity.Durning the trial,Micahel did a 60 minute interview.He couldn't disclose to much information but he did say about how badly the policemen treated him.About the atmosphere of the room he was in. He talked about how coldly he was treated. He deined the case but as any child would say,"They didn't believe me." Durning the trial,there was a picture of Michael with what looked like tape on his nose that the press predicted was his nose was about to fall of because he had so much plastic suregery. Michael said that he had very few and small little plastic suregies to tweak things up with him.He got his nose done once,so he could hit higher notes.Even if he did get more it is none of the world's business to track it down. It was a problem Michael may or may not have had and it should be private. Right after that nightmare was repeated, and over it wasn't the oly bad thing up ahead. Durning the time of the trial, James Brown Michael's number one idol had passed away of a heartattack on christmas morning.And repeating back to Princess Diana's death,Michael was devestated.James Brown was the main reason where he learned to dance and really work a crowd.He had always wanted a pair of James Brown inspired brown leather shoes. Just like James Brown. That was what he had always wanted. He ended by hundreds of them as he go older and able to spend his own money.
Quietly,durning the deja vu saga with the trial,Michael did another movie. It would be the last time he would appear in a movie and this time this movie is probally the least most popular movie. It got taken out of theaters early because it did so poorly. The name of the movie was named Miss Castaway and the Island Girls. He played the character Agent MJ in the 2004 movie.To risk possible papparazzi chaos,because of the molestation charges against him,he filmed his part of the movie at home. With the new technology, the director was able to create a way for Michael to be protected from the papparazzi. A plane carrying beauty contestants crash lands on a deserted island. Captain Maximus Powers and co-pilot Mike Saunders have to take care of their passengers, while avoiding the dangers of Jurassic Pork (a giant prehistoric pig) and a group of apes busy trying to relaunch Noah's Ark.An R2D2-like droid projects an image of agent M.J.who has been assigned by the Vatican to manipulate the castaways for the Vatican's own purposes.This is the plot for the movie.The movie recieved really bad reviews from critics and was placed in the bottom 100 for the worst movies of all time. The movie was directed by Bryan Stoller. It released to the public on July 26,2005.

Michael started to have a bad time when it came to finnacially around the time the trail was ending.Apparently Michael missed payments and couldn't afford some things.So the theme park,the zoo and much more was taken away truck by truck until Michael could handle problems finnacially. Rumors went viral that Michael went broke.But that isn't true. Everybody makes mistakes and has problems. This was just one of his.
Going back to the Martin Bashir interview, the good times instead of the haterd. Michael talked about some of the songs his mother would sing to him as a baby and some of the good things that happened durning his Jackson 5 days. Durning this long period interview, Michael traveled to Las Vegas and other Californian places.
In 2006,was the first public appearance Michael had made after he was proven not gulity from the charges. For those few months,very few people knew his location.He went into hiding at a undisclosed location. One award show where he made a very suprised appearance.Lots of people were not expecting him.Even the producers were not expecting him to show. Michael said that he just wanted a little time to himself.To get over the damage that had been done to him mentally and physically.Because if you knew Michael you know that when he was stressed,he just stopped eating and stopped sleeping.If you payed attention back in 1993,you see that his body weight drastically changed overtime.He was stressed and the same thing happened in 2005. He dissapeared or went into hiding,whatever you want to call it, to get himself back together is a good way to say it. So Michael made appearance.Also Thriller had started to climb up again going to over 30x Platium and BAD,Dangerous and HIStory again weren't far behind.
In about 2007 Michael was pretty quiet.Nothing dramatically was heard from him. Because he was working on something. It was easing closely to the 25th anniversary of Thriller and he wanted to do something special. So in 2008,he released Michael Jackson Thriller 25 on November 8 and in North America November 11,2008. This album had the same nine songs. Wannna be startin Somethin,Baby Be Mine,Girl is Mine,Thriller,Beat it,Billie Jean, Human Nature,PYT and Lady in My Life. He also decieded to to remixs of the songs he mostly known for. It featured an entire new booklet full of never released drawings, a CD full of the Thriller music video,Beat it music video,Billie Jean music video and his Motown 25 performance where he performed the moonwalk for the first time. The orignal CD for Thriller along with the remixes for the most popular songs in the history of music.That same CD also included the Voice Over Session with Vincent Price who did the rap for Thriller.Michael remixed his songs Girl is mine, PYT,Wanna Be Startin Somethin,Beat It and Billie Jean. Each song had another famous artist at the time. Girl is mine is remixed with Will.i.am.PYT is remixed with Will.i.am also. Wanna Be Startin Somethin was remixed with Akon.Beat it was remixed with Fergie.Billie Jean was remixed with Kayne West. And there was a final song that never got released that was recorded at the time of Thriller.It was called For All Time. The Thriller special edition that was released at the same time of the regular and had two songs that didn't make the final cut. They were called Carousel and Someone in The Dark.

So Michael made appearance.Also Thriller had started to climb up again going to over 30x Platium and BAD,Dangerous and HIStory again weren't far behind.
In about 2007 Michael was pretty quiet.Nothing dramatically was heard from him. Because he was working on something. It was easing closely to the 25th anniversary of Thriller and he wanted to do something special. So in 2008,he released Michael Jackson Thriller 25 on November 8 and in North America November 11,2008. This album had the same nine songs. Wannna be startin Somethin,Baby Be Mine,Girl is Mine,Thriller,Beat it,Billie Jean, Human Nature,PYT and Lady in My Life. He also decieded to to remixs of the songs he mostly known for. It featured an entire new booklet full of never released drawings, a CD full of the Thriller music video,Beat it music video,Billie Jean music video and his Motown 25 performance where he performed the moonwalk for the first time. The orignal CD for Thriller along with the remixes for the most popular songs in the history of music.That same CD also included the Voice Over Session with Vincent Price who did the rap for Thriller.Michael remixed his songs Girl is mine, PYT,Wanna Be Startin Somethin,Beat It and Billie Jean. Each song had another famous artist at the time. Girl is mine is remixed with Will.i.am.PYT is remixed with Will.i.am also. Wanna Be Startin Somethin was remixed with Akon.Beat it was remixed with Fergie.Billie Jean was remixed with Kayne West. And there was a final song that never got released that was recorded at the time of Thriller.It was called For All Time. The Thriller special edition that was released at the same time of the regular and had two songs that didn't make the final cut. They were called Carousel and Someone in The Dark.
In March of 2009, Michael flew to London to announce something big. After about 15 years,Michael announced that he was going to go on tour once again. This would be his last time touring and all the concerts were going to be in London.He was going to do 50 back to back shows and do it all at 50. Yes 50. The concerts would be held at the London 02 arena. When tickets went on sale for the concert the tickets sold out in seconds. This concert was going to be the biggest and the greatest. He wanted everything to go perfect. He would be singing his biggest hits such as Man in the Mirror,Human Nature,Thriller, Earth Song and Billie Jean. The concert's producer would be Kenny Ortega. After producing and directing his HIStory Tour, Michael would invite him back.Audtions for back up dancers would be worldwide. This would be the hardest thing that these people would ever have to achieve. It's an honor to dance on stage with MJ and when you have your chance it's spectatcular. Rehersals would start in the ending of May 2009 and would go to the end of June 2009. The tour was suppossed to kick off in July 2009 to April 2010. Micahel was all set this was supposed to be his comeback. After this tour was over,he wanted to do other things like launching a clothing line and doing movies of his. On May 18,2009 Michael and his family had a Family Day that they have where they basically just cacth up on who's doing what. So Michael came and everyone was there and brought the children. It would be the last time the family would see their son,brother,cousin,uncle and friend alive. Michael had started taking Propofol which he called his milk and it made him sleep. Thsi is a very dangerous drug that shouldn't even be in a house it should be in a hospital operation room. Michael met a doctor that he had become friends with and would use as his personal doctor durning the time before his tour and durning the Tour. The tour would be called This is It. Doctor Conrad Murray was going to fit the bill with a salary of $150,000 a month. On June 24,2009 was the last rehersal for the tour and after that everyone would be in London for a very long time. After the reherasal,Michael went home to a rented house that he had in replacement of a lost Neverland. His personal doctor was supposed to be wacthing him.Michael couldn't sleep.All the mediaction given to him was not helping.There was a lot of medication given to Michael to help him sleep.Finally in about 2 in the morning,Murray gave him a small dose of the Propofol through an IV. At about 4 in the morning Michael was still awake. Murray kept giving Michael the medication to help him sleep.Michael complained that he needed to sleep.Because the number priotority was making sure Michael was physically able to the tour.That was the point of have Murray to make sure he was OK to tour. So the medication that Murray kept giving Michael was obviously not just going to evaporate out of Michael's blood.Michael had taken a lot of drugs that night.And needed to be on a careful wacth. Murray left the room leaving a fragile Michael in bed.Murrary reportedly went to the store and talked on the phone for hours. Then returned back to Michael's room to find a unconcious Michael in bed.Murrary freaked.He had been gone for hours and no telling how long Michael had been there unconcious. He shouldn't have left. Michael's was really had a lot of drugs in his blood and was very weak. Murray had to perform CPR on Michael and performed it on the bed.CPR is supposed to be performed on a floor. Murray screamed for help and got the attention of other workers in the house including Michael's children. Michael's daugter Paris was 11,Prince was 13 and Blanket was 8.All of the children were screaming and crying. They couldn't beleive it.Murrary didn't immediately call 911 to the house when he realized that Michael was no longer breathing. So when the police were called reportedly by a worker in the house and there was no mention who the gentlemen was. All he said was the address and a 50 year man is not breathing.No where did he say it was Michael Jackson. Michael was rushed to the hospital for further observation but didn't make it. On the afternoon of June 25, 2009 Michael Joesph Jackson the greatest entertainer was pronounced dead at the age of 50.His family rushed to the hospital and Katherine got the news from guess who. Conrad Murray. That her son is dead. Michael laid dead. You almost can't comprehend that someone like him should die. The children especially Paris were devestated. They couldn't believe. Paris looked at her grandmother and asked," Who will take care of us?". Katherine cried unbelieveablely. She said you will come with grandma. The cause of death was intoxication of drugs. The question is what happened at that place. After Michael's body was taken away there was a crime scene. There was a pile of drugs that were left behind. Michael's wax figure at the wax museum in Las Vegas was moved to the front of the museum. Another celeberity's trageic end was on that day to.Farah Faucet. She died early in the morning at about 3 in the morning in a hospital bed surrouded by family. There was an autopsy of Michael's bdoy that would span over weeks to determine how he died. And the conclusion was that Michael's died of intoxication of propofol with more than 25 miligrams of the drug.
Michael's furneral was on July 7,2009.There would be a private one with just close friends of Michael's and the family and there would be a publiv funeral that would include Michael's body. But a closed casket.The poparazzi wouldn't give Michael his peace even at his own death. The poparazzi didn't give the family privacy as they requested. They snapped shots and snapped shots like crazy. The public mermorial with his furneral would sell tickets to fans who wanted to come. There was a big posterboard that the guest fans signed on their way in to the arena that the mermorial would be held at. The Staples Center in Los Angles,California. The posterboard would be placed at Michael's grave sight that was still undetermined at that point for the Los Angles Corners Office to investigate his body. An autopsy photo was leaked to the public in 2011. The memorial was very lovely. Celeberities came from all around the world to perform.Artist included Usher,Mariah Carrey,Stevie Wonder. Usher's performance was surely the saddest. He sang Michael's Dangerous album Gone Too Soon to his casket. Mariah Carrey sang I'll be there. Jermaine Jackson took the stage perfoming Michael's favorite song,Smilie by Charlie Chaplin. Brooke Shields,Michael Jordan,and many other celeberities payed there respects. Macualy Culkin was at Michael's private service with his wife at the time. The big screen showed pictures of Michael' throughout the entire memorial. Paris,Prince and Blanket revealed their faces to the public for the first time. Paris Jackson said a little speech about her father in tears. She said that,"Daddy was the best father that you could ever imagine.And I just want to say that I love him." She leaped into her auntie and uncles arms. Blanket looked like he as carrying a doll of his father. The corner's office took a long time to say the cause of death.When it was announced.Michael's body was finnally buried on August 29,2009 on Michael's 51st brithday.He was buried under cement concret 13 feet under ground in the indoor santuary in Los Angles,California.At a place called Forest Lawn Cemetery.Michael's body was to remain guarded 24/7 and to have a light shine above the area where he is buried.On the anniversary of his death, fans come and put flowers,teddy bears and pictures around the building that no one can even look in.
The tour was cancelled to the dissapointment and saddness of his fans around the world. Fans put flowers around his Gary,IN house and his two Hollywood Walks of Fame stars.The rehearsals for the This is it tour were at the Staples Center too. In October of 2009,Michael's rehersals for the This is it tour were put into a video so the world could get a chance to see what Michael was planning to show everyone.The concert reherarsals were put on tape in Janurary of 2010. The purpose of the tape was to show what Michael was really planning and so it would feel like we saw the This is It concert and the final Michael.
With the autopsy the photo was leaked.But durning the the time it took the people to discover what was wrong and Michael said in 1993 that he was diagnosed with Vitiligo and Lupus. The press and tabloids didn't believe him they said that he just bleached his body.They didn't belive it until that autopsy proved them wrong. His cause of death was an overdose of Propofol.

At the end of the year,the MTV awards opened up and ended up with a tribute.The first tribute included a group of professional dancers.Some that have worked with Michael,to perform the choregraphy to his songs. Then Janet Jackson appears singing the parts for her and a speaker playing Michael's part. Janet would get in a certain part of the stage and start dancing the choregraphy with Michael doing it on the big screen.Making it look like he was right next to her. Then the song ends and the finshing picture on the big screen with Michael hugging her appears where the rest of the picture but Michael's head is darkened out. To make it look like he is wacthing her from heaven above. The second tribute was Smokey Robinson and lots of other artist,come out and perfom a 3D tribute to Michael by performing his song Earth Song. The show came to and end.
At the Grammys' the following year,Michael was nominated for a Grammy and his kids were there to get it on behalf of their father. It was the first public apperance since the heartfelt speech Paris had given at Michael's memorial.
Michael Jackson's physician Dr.Conrad Murray was in custody and getting questioned about what happened that night and early day. They were determined to find out what happened to Michael Jackson. So the trials went into 2011 and finnally after custody and video tapes of Michael talking about the Propofol that they found.Conrad Murray was convicted with 4 years in prison for manslaugher. The evidence that was found proved that it was Conrad Murray that was putting all the drugs into Michael's fragile body over and over as if he had no idea what he was doing.Then would leave for a few hours leaving an intoxicated Michael in the bed alone in his room only to return and find Michael not breathing and unconcious. He immediaeltely acted but doing CPR on the bed instead of the floor and the paramedics didn't get callled right away after finding Michael unconicous and not knowing what he was doing. So it is a big possibility that he could get out of prison for good behavior.By the looks of what they found,he doesn't deserve to get out.The overdose of Propofol was determined by Conrad and not Michael. The prints of the bottles were Conrad's not Michael's.
Michael's children were growing up.They were starting to become more and more in the spotlight now. Paris wanted to start school.Instead of being homeschooled and her brother Prince was the same.Blanket didn't want to go.He wanted to stay homeschool until he got a little older. They do have dreams and they involve the music business too. Michael in a sort of sense didn't wanted his kids childhood to be taken away but, he always wanted to do what was right for his kids. So Katherine and Joe had them stop putting all the masks on.Michael wore a mask too.He wore a mTask because of problems with his mouth or other personal problems he may have had.
In the later of the year of 2010,a game was released to the public about Michael Jackson.It would be called Michael Jackson:The Experience.It would be for the systems of the Nintendo DS,Nintendo Wii,Xbox,Play Station and later the Nintendo 3DS. The game was a singing(Xbox) and Dancing game.Each game system had diffrent songs but his most popular songs such as Billie Jean and Beat it were on all the systems.For all the systems except Nintendo DS and 3DS,you move the remotes around so that the movements that you do macth what Michael does. On the Xbox,a few songs have singing songs so that you just sing the lyrics like karoke. The Nintendo DS had a system where you listen to the song and you have to touch the buttons that appear rapidly on the screen to the beat of the song.Nintendo DS only had 12 songs of Michael's on it. The nintendo 3DS is set up where you can touch the screen.So you drag you figure in the appearing shape to make the animated Michael dance to the songs.This system had a few more choices for of songs.The game was a big success and it came out as tied as the World's best dance game along with the game Just Dance. It released just in time to be a stocking stuffer for all sorts of people and was rated Everyone 10 and up.

Going into 2011,the children became more and more into the public eye. Elizaabeth Taylor and long time friend of Michael's died of natural causes surrounded by family in March of this year. Michael had a friend to be with in heaven.In late 2011,the famous dancing bunch Cirque du Soleil did a dedication to Michael. They put on the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour.

Michael.It is supposed to be open in 2013.Dedicated to Michael would be a album released on September 18,2012.It is dedicated to Michael. It is the 25th
anniversary of the world's second largest album BAD. It would be called BAD 25 and also Pepsi is to do a tribute too,by making limited edition Pepsi cans with
Michael's famous Smooth Crimnal dance move on it. The album also was supposed to have a single that was supposed to put on the album that would be called Don't
be messin around.The single was recorded back when BAD was being created. It didn't make it to the special edition which had two exclusive songs Streetwalker
and Fly Away. The single's name is Don't be messin around.
The Jacksons did something extra special from June 2012 to July 2012.They are planning to go back on tour in more than three decades. The tour will be called
Unity 2012 and is supposed to lead to them releasing a new album with new material. They go to cities such as Detroit and Washington D.C throughout the
US.The tour didn't have many tour dates just in the most popular dates in the US. Randy Jackson,who joined the group after they left Motown to feel the shoes
of Jermaine who was staying because of Hazel his wife, decieded to not join his brothers durning the tour which is a way to show that Michael will never be
forgoten. It is reportedly known that he is still upset with a romance dispute with Jermaine his brother. So it was Marlon's idea to do the tour he gathered his brothers.Jermaine who was off in the Middle East praying apparently said that he was in.Jackie who was recording some knew things with a band of his was
in Hawaii.Tito was in Los Angles fixing things(as usual) and each and every brother said that they were in. They sing songs the Jackson 5/Jacksons most
popular hits that include I want you back,ABC,love you save,Can you feel it,Lovely one and much more.Since Michael sings most of the solos for the songs,they all take turns singing the parts while Marlon and Jackie do the dancing of Michael's.They threw songs of Michael's in there too.Such as Rock with You,Don't Stop and Jermaine sings a heart felt tribute to Michael singing Michael's song,Gone Too Soon. The concert was realy special even though they didn't have many shows they had to cancel a few becuase of lack of ticket sales.This was the start of something big and fresh.The Jacksons were making a
comeback!
Paris Jackson had said in a interview that she wanted to be in the entertainment business.So as of 2012,she will be in her first movie called Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys. It is a fantasy movie that she will play the heroine. Paris and her brothers were growning up.Michael taught them well.
After Michael's death,on the June 26th 2009,Michael's Beat it music video went up one million views in less than 24 hours.Michael also became number 10 as Youtube's most viewed singers. Lady Gaga is #1 and Justin Bieber are #2. Michael's concert film that released after his death became the biggest behind the scenes concert film in all of history. He got reconigzed in the 2011 as the world's greatest artist in the history of music.He also got awards for the success of his albums.
In about mid 2012 around the time of the ending for the Jacksons Unity tour,there was a dispute in the Jackson family.In Michael's will he said that he named his mother number one caretaker of his children and his money for only Katherine,his mother, and his three young chidren Prince,Paris and Blanket. This sparked outrage in a few other family members.Some thought that Michael's will was just a hoax and others really didn't care.Paris Jackson was now 14 and old enough to be on a social media website called Twitter. She tweeted a awful lot when one day there was a news report that her grandmother Katherine was missing. A week had gone by and Paris tweeted that she missed her grandmother and that she wanted her home.She said that if you see my grandmother report the authorities. Then she tweeted later that day thinking the worst that something had happened and she said to whoever did this they will pay. Well on about the weekend,her grandmother had been found at a Arizona spa and was in good condition.She was with Reebie and some other family members that looked like nieces and nephews. She was ok. A picture was leaked of Katherine adn Reebie playing Uno with some of the other family members at a undisclosed location in Arizona. Katherine's reasoning for leaving the children she was supposed to be caregiver of was that she was stressed over the battle with Michael's estate and other things finnacially involving Michael's death.So a few days later,there was a video recording of Janet,Michael's younger sister, and Paris in the driveway of Katherine's current home in California. There was a dispute going on where Janet thought that Paris was tweeting private family information to the world and tried to take Paris's phone away.Paris pulled back and ran away.There wasn't audio in the video so unknown what they were saying.Randy Jackson,Michael's younger brother,appeared in this outrageous video appearing to be holding a cellphone in his hands recording what was going on between Janet and Paris. Days later,the family apparently thought that the will was fake and tried to change it. So the next idea came when they apparently tried to take Michael's kids away from Katherine.The reason is still unknown.Many believe because the family thought that because of Katherine's random disappearance that she was unable to take care of the kids.Since it seemed like everybody but Prince,Paris and Blanket knew where their grandmother was at. The children are now in another legal battle for custody of them.Paris tweeted that she wants to stay with her grandmother.A decison was made that they will stay with Michael's nephew TJ Jackson who is the son of Tito Jackson,Michael's older brother. Very few actually know who TJ Jackson really is.TJ Jackson has two other brothers and together they formed the group 3T. They were mainly popular in about the mid to late 90s'. If you wacth closely in Michael's Jam music video you see a little kid doing a Michael Jackson dance move.That was one of the members of 3T.When they got older in about 1996-7,they created the song "Why" and created a music video for it. It is on 3T's album and it was featured with their uncle,Michael Jackson.
The battle is still going on.Lots of people now know that Paris still would like to keep the current guardian she has,but TJ will remain temporary until this whole sitiuation clears up.Paris tweeted a few of the lyrics to Michael's song "Will you be there" from his Dangerous album.
The release of Michael Jackson's Bad album the twenty fifth anniversary album released on September 18,2012. It had a brand new and never- before-heard version of Michael's duet with Sediah Garrett, I just Can't stop loving you. If you got the special edtion of BAD then you know that had three songs named Streetwalker, Fly Away and a spanish version of I just can't stop loving you. On the new BAD 25, there was two diffrent radio remixes of his hit song BAD. The french version of I just stop loving you. The other songs never before released or heard songs on the album are Don't be Messing Around, I'm so blue, Song Grove(A/K/A Abortion Papers), Free, Price of Fame, Al Capone, and a remix of Speed Demon.

Unity 2012 and is supposed to lead to them releasing a new album with new material. They go to cities such as Detroit and Washington D.C throughout the
US.The tour didn't have many tour dates just in the most popular dates in the US. Randy Jackson,who joined the group after they left Motown to feel the shoes
of Jermaine who was staying because of Hazel his wife, decieded to not join his brothers durning the tour which is a way to show that Michael will never be
forgoten. It is reportedly known that he is still upset with a romance dispute with Jermaine his brother. So it was Marlon's idea to do the tour he gathered his brothers.Jermaine who was off in the Middle East praying apparently said that he was in.Jackie who was recording some knew things with a band of his was
in Hawaii.Tito was in Los Angles fixing things(as usual) and each and every brother said that they were in. They sing songs the Jackson 5/Jacksons most
popular hits that include I want you back,ABC,love you save,Can you feel it,Lovely one and much more.Since Michael sings most of the solos for the songs,they all take turns singing the parts while Marlon and Jackie do the dancing of Michael's.They threw songs of Michael's in there too.Such as Rock with You,Don't Stop and Jermaine sings a heart felt tribute to Michael singing Michael's song,Gone Too Soon. The concert was realy special even though they didn't have many shows they had to cancel a few becuase of lack of ticket sales.This was the start of something big and fresh.The Jacksons were making a
comeback!
Paris Jackson had said in a interview that she wanted to be in the entertainment business.So as of 2012,she will be in her first movie called Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys. It is a fantasy movie that she will play the heroine. Paris and her brothers were growning up.Michael taught them well.
After Michael's death,on the June 26th 2009,Michael's Beat it music video went up one million views in less than 24 hours.Michael also became number 10 as Youtube's most viewed singers. Lady Gaga is #1 and Justin Bieber are #2. Michael's concert film that released after his death became the biggest behind the scenes concert film in all of history. He got reconigzed in the 2011 as the world's greatest artist in the history of music.He also got awards for the success of his albums.
In about mid 2012 around the time of the ending for the Jacksons Unity tour,there was a dispute in the Jackson family.In Michael's will he said that he named his mother number one caretaker of his children and his money for only Katherine,his mother, and his three young chidren Prince,Paris and Blanket. This sparked outrage in a few other family members.Some thought that Michael's will was just a hoax and others really didn't care.Paris Jackson was now 14 and old enough to be on a social media website called Twitter. She tweeted a awful lot when one day there was a news report that her grandmother Katherine was missing. A week had gone by and Paris tweeted that she missed her grandmother and that she wanted her home.She said that if you see my grandmother report the authorities. Then she tweeted later that day thinking the worst that something had happened and she said to whoever did this they will pay. Well on about the weekend,her grandmother had been found at a Arizona spa and was in good condition.She was with Reebie and some other family members that looked like nieces and nephews. She was ok. A picture was leaked of Katherine adn Reebie playing Uno with some of the other family members at a undisclosed location in Arizona. Katherine's reasoning for leaving the children she was supposed to be caregiver of was that she was stressed over the battle with Michael's estate and other things finnacially involving Michael's death.So a few days later,there was a video recording of Janet,Michael's younger sister, and Paris in the driveway of Katherine's current home in California. There was a dispute going on where Janet thought that Paris was tweeting private family information to the world and tried to take Paris's phone away.Paris pulled back and ran away.There wasn't audio in the video so unknown what they were saying.Randy Jackson,Michael's younger brother,appeared in this outrageous video appearing to be holding a cellphone in his hands recording what was going on between Janet and Paris. Days later,the family apparently thought that the will was fake and tried to change it. So the next idea came when they apparently tried to take Michael's kids away from Katherine.The reason is still unknown.Many believe because the family thought that because of Katherine's random disappearance that she was unable to take care of the kids.Since it seemed like everybody but Prince,Paris and Blanket knew where their grandmother was at. The children are now in another legal battle for custody of them.Paris tweeted that she wants to stay with her grandmother.A decison was made that they will stay with Michael's nephew TJ Jackson who is the son of Tito Jackson,Michael's older brother. Very few actually know who TJ Jackson really is.TJ Jackson has two other brothers and together they formed the group 3T. They were mainly popular in about the mid to late 90s'. If you wacth closely in Michael's Jam music video you see a little kid doing a Michael Jackson dance move.That was one of the members of 3T.When they got older in about 1996-7,they created the song "Why" and created a music video for it. It is on 3T's album and it was featured with their uncle,Michael Jackson.
The battle is still going on.Lots of people now know that Paris still would like to keep the current guardian she has,but TJ will remain temporary until this whole sitiuation clears up.Paris tweeted a few of the lyrics to Michael's song "Will you be there" from his Dangerous album.
