Michael Joseph Jackson was born in America Indiana,Gary on the 29th of August 1958 and died on 25th of June 2009 in Los Angeles. His career started as him being part of a family group known to all of us as The Jackson 5.

Michael Jackson then continued his career when he went solo right about when Off the wall album was released. From then on Michael Joseph Jackson was known as, the ultimate legendary king of pop.

Although Michael Jackson was titled king of Pop he does not belong to any certain genre, but incorporates a wide range of genres and is very versatile. Mainly R&B and pop, dance and Funk.

Michael Jackson’s early image was when he had his hair in a fashionable style known back then as jerry curls for an example in Billie jean, bad and beat it. Moreover he had unique clothing in his video which always matched. Michael Jackson was also famous for his high pitched voice. Again such as the videos- Billie jean, bad and beat it.

Later on in his career Michael also showed off his deep voices as well as his high notes. He also had some new smoother moves and developed his moonwalk into being very versatile for an example he invented the round moonwalk. Also in Billie jean Michael Jackson was a dark brown colour however later on in his life he suffered from a skin disease called vitoligo which caused his skin to go into a light pale white colour for an example in the Blood on the dance floor Music video he is seen as very white and pale with new discovered moves of his own.


Michael Jackson was with three record companies Epic, Sony and Motown in Billie jean he is signed with epic they attempt to sell Michael Jackson with his signature moves on the cover of the albums and his high pitched voice however Sony attempt to sell Michael Jackson by just having his face on the cover and having a wide range of vocals on the album. Michael Jackson’s hairstyle in Billie jean period is in jerry curls where as in 2000 he goes for the bob cut which is also used for the invincible album.

In Billie jean the camera has mostly a full body shot of the star this may have been chosen because this was Michael’s first music video with epic and they wanted to sell him for what he really was.

However in Blood on the dance floor they have shots of his feet then his face then his body theses features may have been chosen to tell people that Michael was more of a dancing person than just a singer.
It had something to do with his weird life style of being a man still trapped in his childhood and having a lot of love and affection for young children and trying to change the world and make it a better place for them. Furthermore it can be agreed that his dancing was Top class and his vocals were Magnificent also being a man would have made it all the better.
