Michael Jackson is Dead - All You Need To Know About the Legend in 60 Seconds
Billie Jean Was the First Video By a Black Artist on MTV. Some may argue that MTV broke racial barriers by allowing this but others argue that MTV only allowed this because the lyrics of the song reinforced the stereotypes of black people. Apparanetly the song is about a black man not wanting to pay child support!
Michael Jackson successfully obtained a patent for his leaning forward dancing move - you know the one. Anyway, the move made famous by his Smooth Criminal video meant that every time anyway decided to lean forward they owed Michael Jackson $20. The last bit was a joke.
Wacko Jacko’s favourite superhero was Morph from the X-Men. We, at Consumer Help, all agree that if he was brought up in England or even Britain his favourite would have either been Super Ted or Banana Man. Definitely would NOT have been Spiderman!
Michael Jackson appeared as a clay model in the Genesis Video, Land of Confusion. With Jackson now dead Genesis must surely be the new kings of weird videos.
Michael believed that if you peeled the skin off of KFC chicken, it made it organic. It was David Gest who revealed this about Jack right after claiming to be a close friend. Luckily David Gest does not do anything strange like that!
A rumour spread like wild fire in the 80’s that Michael Jackson was dating American actress Brooke Shields. People used to joke: Where’s Michael Jackson’s other glove? In Brooke Shields’ pants! Oh how we laughed. Judging by Michaels farewell on 7th July 2009, it would appear Brooke Shields and Michael were only ever likely to be friends.
Michael Jackson had plastic surgery to fix his nose. His dad used to call him ‘big nose’ when he was a kid so decided to change things… a little. At the time of his death Michael was the most pale person in pop music and looked suspiciously like a Michael Jackson doll.
One of Jacko’s proudest moments was when MC Hammer (who is he again?) once challenged him to a dance-off. It was reported MJ turned down the offer saying “I’ve seen your videos and every single dance move you use, you got off of me.” Nobody ever took Mr. Hammer seriously again after that!
His close friends called him “Smelly”. There he goes again good old Smelly Jackson! That’s what Quincy Jones and Stephen Spielberg called him. Cruel cynics could argue that it’s all the plastic that smells. We don’t think so.
And that’s it…
Michael Jackson has had an interesting life and we would like to say R.I.P. - you were many things and the undisputed King of Pop was certainly one of them.
