Michael Jackson = Michael Jackson
>>> A recording artist, singer, dancer, and actor who, during the early 1970's rose to stardom as a young boy fronting the family pop group The Jackson 5. The band was one of several family pop acts of its day (see also The Partridge Family and The DeFranco Family)which rose to stardom due to intense promotion and merchandising, heavy AM radio play, and their own television show.
During the 80's Michael Jackson began a wildly successful career as a solo artist. With the release of his record-breaking seminal album "Thriller" and a slew of connected music videos, Jackson's signature dance moves (see Moonwalk) and trademark saccharine-soprano voice became ubiquitous symbols of American pop culture.
However, personal problems, scandals and lawsuits have plagued the artist throughout his career. Most notably a paternity suit brought by the eponymous Billy Jean Castleberry, who claimed that Jackson fathered her illegitamate child; and persistent charges that Jackson has engaged in improper sexual conduct with young boys who have been guests at his Neverland Ranch in California.

Jackson's penchant for altering his appearance through countless plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, skin tattooing, permanent makeup applications, and skin bleaching have also brought him widespread criticism over the past two decades.
Additionally, Jackson's shocking and inexplicable dangling of his infant son, Blanket, over the railing of a hotel balcony while an army of international paparazzi shouted and cheered below has led to persistent rumours questioning his fitness as a parent.
Michael Jackson was embroiled in a bitter lawsuit brought by the family of an adolescent boy who alleged that Jackson engaged in sexual misconduct with the boy while he partook in unchaperoned sleepovers at Jackson's home. This was the second time that criminal charges have been brought against Jackson on charges of pedophilia. The first case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum of money.
Jackson has repeatedly denied allegations that he ever engaged in any improper sexual conduct with any children.
***Michael Jackson, along with Elvis and Madonna, is one of the most notoriously famous pop music icons of the twentieth century.
>>>A popular singer that can be put on a par with Elvis and Madonna. His songs include "Bad", "Thriller", "Billie Jean" (who I may remind you is not his lover), "Smooth Criminal", and more. He is nicknamed "The King of Pop".
***Michael Jackson did the moonwalk.
>>> Born on August, 29 1958 in Gary, Indiana in a family of 9 children with whom he formed a band called the Jackson 5 at the age of 6 he became famous during the motown golden years with hist such as "i want you back", "i'll be there".
Michael, the singer and most talented dancer of the band, started a solo career with his first album "off the wall" followed by "thriller" produced by Quincy Jones which sold 60 million units worldwide. He was also the first black entertainer to appear on TV and was a pioneer in terms of image, inventing the videoclip, that along with his famous dance step "the moonwalk" durin a performance of "billie jean" made him the most famous entertainer of all time. He released other albums such as "bad", "dangerous" and "HIStory" which were also very popular. Overall, he sold about 100 million albums throughout the world and earned the title "king of pop".
Nevertheless, the media crucified him using his peter pan image, he also faced many rumours about his constant physical appearance changes which were in fact due to serious diseases.
More controversial are the recent allegations of mmolesting a child resulting in a general bashing shadowing the humanitarian award he received in 2003 for giving more than 50,000,000$ to caritative foundations.
He will remain the most famous, talented, genuine and also the most misunderstood artist of the century.
