succeeded in turning nine, but he was popular in the world. There is no way to escape from criticism and slander, and the plain and tranquility of mortals is almost a luxury.
He is the king of pop music on this planet, and even this title is not worthy of his
-Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson) !
"I sang hoarse, danced with joy from my heart, and did work that was too hard for a child."
is the first memory of Michael Jackson's life.
MJ's family, with MJ
in the front row. He doesn't remember when he was 11 months old, dancing with the roar of the old washing machine at home.
This sense of rhythm is called "talent", and talent is bestowed by parents.
His father Joseph has a guitar, and he plays with his band "The Falcons" in the bar every night. During the day, he has to walk back to the steel mill and get into the sultry crane operating room. night.
In order to subsidize the family, her mother Catherine once dragged a lame polio sequelae to work in a department store. Since the birth of her first child,
has sang to one baby after another full-time, until the first child. nine.
Michael is the seventh to hear his mother's melodious singing.
In fact, although he was born in a black slum in Gary, Indiana, USA, he grew up in a music house, accompanied by endless R&B (Rhythm and Blues). The story of
MJ and his elder brothers
originated from his father’s guitar, which was "forbidden to be touched by others". However, several older brothers would secretly fiddle with him while he was away.
broke the strings until he broke the strings.
second brother Tito was crying, but his father changed the strings angrily, handed him the guitar, and said sternly:
"Let me see what you can play?"
later became more at home Bass, electric guitar, and tambourine.
finally one day, his father bought back a very luxurious microphone for this family, the golden kind of .
Because his mother told him that Xiaoqi Michael sang really well, even though he was only five years old.
Michael once watched the children's games in the park with curiosity and yearning, but
could not imagine the kind of free life like.
every day when they come home from school, the five Jackson brothers have to rehearse from 3pm to 7pm,
and then their father will drive them to Chicago or other places to participate in various performances, often ending at two or three in the morning,
Back home, although there are still many stars in the sky, the sky has faded.
This kind of life day after day, and gradually began to fear their performances, and sometimes gather together to whisper: "It’s better not to let'Jackson 5'(Jackson Brothers Quinta) take that little dwarf to grab tonight. Our limelight."
Michael was hurt when he heard it, but when he understood that jealousy is also aWhen you kind of praise, you also grow up unconsciously.
At the age of 9, he was already numb to the "truth" of strippers in nightclubs. Although the "naked truth" is sometimes tempting, this kind of salted truth really bore him, and he began to long to go upstream. , "The farther away from that kind of life, the better."
In 1969, "Jackson 5" won the first prize in the amateur singing competition held at the famous Apollo Theater in New York. Although
was only one of the many amateur championships won by the family band, his father was very excited. Because this is New York,
gathered the world's top musicians and producers at the time.
Kungfu pays off. They received a call from Motown Records, which is famous for producing and releasing black soul music and R&B.
"I will make you the greatest people in the world!" Berry Gordy, the owner of
Motown, said to the Jackson family sitting in the house:
"Your first song will win. The second song will win the championship, and so will the third!" The
family yelled "Okay", but their minds were full of fairy-tale unreality.
But soon after, Motown created "I want you back" for "Jackson 5", "ABC", "The love you save" and "I will be there ( I'll be there)” The four singles really became the No. 1 track in the US music charts in turn,
and the album of the same name “I Want You Back” also sold an astonishing 2 million copies within six weeks, the number one in sales. One.
This is the first time in the history of music that a group of children has created such a great achievement.
"Jackson 5" immediately became popular all over the world.
At Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom, 10,000 crazy fans surrounded them. The "little dwarf" in the
people's favorite band would rush over and grab his wrist tightly and tear his little explosive head. ...
"Covering your eyes is the most important thing, because girls forget their nails when they are emotional." Michael
pointed to the scratch on his face and told reporters.
In fact, from the very beginning, the executives of Motown realized that Michael is a rare wizard.
They even introduced the band as "Michael Jackson and Jackson 5" in a TV show.
So, Michael Jackson had the opportunity to sing the solo single-"Ben",
This made him the youngest artist in American history to win a single title-14 years old and 46 days .
However, like many child stars, growing up is their greatest enemy.
Regardless of "Jackson 5" or Michael's solo flight, Motown believes that their glory is over.
not only reduces the publicity for them, but also prohibits them from singing their own songs.
thus directly led to the breakup of the Jackson family and Motown.
In 1979, they formally signed an Epic Records (Epic Records) under Columbia.
This marks the official take-off of Michael Jackson’s musical rocket, and to fly to the moon, there is still a lack of a heavyweight navigator.
"How about me?" The person on the other side of the
phone paused for a long time before speaking embarrassedly.
This is completely beyond Michael's expectations.
Not long ago, when he participated in the movie "The New Wizard of Oz", he met Quincy Jones, who made the soundtrack to the film (Quincy Jones, who won 77 times in his life)Nominated for Grammy Awards, won 26 times, is the greatest music producer of that era).
Michael was working on his new album "Off the wall", so he called Jones and asked if he could recommend a music producer for him.
When "Outside the Wall" finally created an astonishing record of 20 million sales,
was the title song "Don't stop till you get enough" on the US Billboard charts for five consecutive years. The miracle of the list, with the help of Jones, Michael Jackson finally broke the curse haunting the child star and turned into a butterfly.
However, in the face of great success, he felt deeply lonely.
Will anyone in this world love him because he is not Michael Jackson? In the evening, he was sitting under the eaves, watching the sky slowly darken, and
listened to the crazy shouts of female fans at the door. They declared that he was carrying his child in his belly, "God ordered them to come."
He shuddered and realized:
Michael Jackson has been deprived of his life as an ordinary person.
"
Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl She's just a girl I know
Who claims that I am the one Now she keeps saying that I can't get rid of my son
But the kid is not my lover I'm really not the father of a child
"
After listening to Michael's own "Billie Jean", Jones was stunned. The young man in front of him showed him the infinite possibilities of the universe.
In 1982, the album "Thriller" turned out. The album
has been on the US Albums Chart for 37 consecutive weeks.
brought Michael Jackson a total of 8 Grammy Awards, 7 National Music Awards, 8 Rolling Stone Music Magazine Year-end Awards, and 12 bulletin boards. More than 150 honors including magazine year-end awards.
Among them, "Billie Jean" and "Beat it" have become eternal classics in the history of popular music.
(26 years later, the album was finally designated as a national treasure of the United States and is permanently collected by the National Library of the United States.)

So, he put on a black jacket, a wide-brimmed tweed hat, and a white glove studded with crystals, and walked down the lunar module gracefully,
when a pair of patent leather with white socks grew The shoes turned into a "Moonwalking" that fools gravity;
when the song "Billie Jean" ended, he suddenly stopped the time with his toes while spinning;

This forced him to accept a treatment method to expand the skin tissue:
surgeon inserted two plastic saline bags under his intact scalp, and expanded the scalp by gradually filling the bags. When the area increased to

One can imagine how painful the whole treatment process will be, and it takes a long time to wait for the skin to grow and suffer long-lasting pain.

In fact, Michael suffered from skin problems all his life. He suffered from severe vitiligo (commonly known as vitiligo). Around 2003, he had symptoms of lupus erythematosus.
However, in a more in-depth analysis,
has been living under the high pressure of performance since his childhood, and has been focused by public opinion for a long time after becoming a superstar;
undertook overloaded creation, rehearsal and performance work in order to pursue artistic perfection;
for Maintain a good image and stick to the habit of eating only one vegetarian meal a day;
and his severe infections due to rhinoplasty surgery, and extensive use of powerful antibiotics;
accepts extreme treatments for skin lightening to cover up vitiligo , All caused irreversible damage to his immune system, and the skin problem is just the appearance.

Director Spielberg once commented:
" Michael Jackson did the most wise thing is to carefully protect his most upright heart. "
This upright heart made his life great Charity.

He said: " is the whole point of the'Victory' tour-giving back to the society. "
A terminally ill young boy wrote to him, eager to see him.
Michael Jackson invited him to be a guest at home, have lunch together, play games together, and watch movies together.
Seven weeks later, the boy was holding a crystal white glove and the red jacket that Michael gave him and passed away with a smile on the "Beat it" music video.
like this, no matter where he goes,
has a stretcher for sick children in and out of his concert, and there is a place for poor children, let them laugh and laugh.
His feet went to hospitals, orphanages, and slums wherever he went, and he donated large sums of money to charities around the world, totaling 300 million, and I don't know how many people he helped.
However, the media turned a deaf ear to these kind deeds, paying more attention to his deformed face, his fading skin, and his sins.
think about it, this seems to be necessary for the evolution of our species, full of curiosity, like peeping, attracted by evil, to demonstrate goodness and justice, and it is called "purification".

Michael Jackson is so easy to believe in people, so difficult to say "no", especially to children, he still believes that "children are the most honest."
friends present at the time reminded him not to forget the Chandler incident. lesson.
Michael thought about it but said: "I have a way."
He let the child sleep on his bed, handed him a glass of milk, and then asked his friend to sleep with him on the ground.
But even so, the child’s mother, a Hispanic woman with a history of fraud, filed ten charges against Michael Jackson, including: sexually assaulting her son, inducing minors to drink, and conspiring to kidnap children.
Michael Jackson felt that he was greatly insulted. He once cried and said to his mother:
" I would rather commit suicide than hurt my child. "
This time he chose to fight to the end and never compromise. Prove your innocence.
Needless to say, this comical trial ended in the allegations against him.
However, this protracted trial also completely destroyed Michael Jackson. During the entire trial process,
