The King of pop is a fusion of all the artistic talents named as “Michael Jackson”. Regardless of being in the news for child molestation and other unmentionable acts, he is able to maintain his consistency as a dancer, singer and also a businessman. What has prompted the audiences to remain glued to him is his identifiable voice, shocking musical flexibility and of course his stirring dance steps. All these gifted talents has outshined him so much that it has become possible for him to eclipse his off-putting chapters of his troubled life. For him to maintain his charm throughout is not a tough task. On August 29, 1958, he was born as Michael Joseph Jackson in Gray, Indiana.
He always put on to display his panache for music and dance. His glory as the King of the Music Video earned him a huge lot of dedicated fans. His father’s contribution to his success is unforgettable as he is the one who has first recognized his talents and then tried to give a shape to his musical interests. It was in early 60’s that his elder brothers occupied a position on stage. In 1964, Michael and Marlon have joined Jackie, Tito and Jermaine and as an effect “Thriller”, is the biggest selling time of all the time. The childhood of this uncontestable star passed in a disciplined manner.
Hailed as the Jackson 5, the group signed to Motown in October 1968. This marked a flow in their productions with a number of debut series of their group. The first debut single was produced by Michael in October 1968, when he was just 11. He came out as a pulsating stage performer. His first number one solo single was “Ben” in 1972. He was nominated for Oscar for
the title song from the children’s Thriller. What made them called Jacksons is their signing to an epic in 1976. They have even maintained their reputable position in the pop history by emerging as the first group to have topped the charts for their first four singles. These first four singles are "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There".
He has come out as the first black artist who by breaking the precincts of race has gained glory for himself on MTV. The major factor that brings him to limelight is his increasing eccentricity. His life spent in show business provides a cover to his adult reality and also his portrayal of an arrested man-child is shadowed. But for how long can one hide things? As in 1993, these existing issues take the form of a scandal. Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy. Besides the denial of charges, his out of court settlement was futile to reinstate his tainted image. Currently,
Jackson is charged with 10 counts. In the long list of accuses, there resides the charge for sexual molestation, for giving the child alcohol and also for his scheme to falsely detain the boy and his family at his expansive Neverland ranch. For this he has been convicted for 20 years.
Waiting for the final decision of the court, The King of pop is planning to quit America and live in Europe, if he is not found culpable in the child molestation case. The reports alleges that last week he has sold his Neverland Ranch for a figure around $30million (approx £20million). The reason which has prompted him to take such a big decision is the fact that his career has been stained because of the charges of child-molestation. He never used a veil to hide himself from the criticizing eyes of assertions.
